Yeah, it's amazing how quickly things have improved amid a massive influx of new users! Truly impressive!

This is insane?! How can someone get away with blatantly copying someone else's work and selling it as their own? It's not even a case of them painting a scene from a similar spot as the original artist because to get the foreground elements to line up that precisely you'd have to be standing on the extact spot and be the same height LOL These look like they've traced over or have painted over copies of the originals?!
Okay, so I just tried clicking subscribe pending on several subs and clicking subscribe again and it did NOT update to joined on any of them. BUT it did update to joined if I did that and then REFRESHED the page!? So, just a bug.
So in summary, if you click subscribe pending to unsub, then click subscribe again to sub and then refresh the page and you should be joined for real! No more yellow, am I on some kind of trial, subscribe pending yellow button of paranoia!
Must be a bug. I was "subcribe pending" on a community on the instance I'm actually on?! So I clicked the "subcribe pending" button and then clicked subscribe again and it updated to joined immediately!
But I hadn't subbed to this community yet so I tried clicking subscribe and it said subscribe pending. I clicked it off and on again but it still says subscribe pending. I'll try again later.
Ahh, I did always wonder what the post downvote button was for. I was like, if you like the post you upvote it. If not you just leave it alone. But I get it now :)
If you get a call like that and you really can’t be sure it’s a scam, hang up and call your bank with whatever number is on their website and get them to confirm.
This! Hang up, ring your bank to make sure nothing has actually happened and let them know the time, phone number the call came from and a rough idea of the script i.e they said I'd bought $1600 worth of Countdown gift cards or whatever the case is so the bank can update their webpage of current scam alerts.
Thanks for the recommend! Very nice looking app 👍
Nice! I really need to up my game!
Honestly I’m just not sure about this. People say this but then I’ve seen it pull over posts from years ago when we’ve only existed a month so there must be more to it.
Okay, so maybe not? I just noticed that when I first sub the community looks empty. Next time I go back there's a few posts but I didn't acctually pay attention to whether they're new or old content, I just assumed I was seeing new content from the point when I subbed as that's what I read happened. Maybe it also pulls in active posts so if someone comments or upvotes an older post it gets pulled across?
Magic! Nah, it’s just that everything is using ActivityPub
It does feel pretty magic when you're not used to it. I was replying to a kbin post from lemmy.nz as easily as if it were a lemmy post and then I copied the direct link into Mastodon and replied a couple more times then went to kbin.social and it was all there! You've reminded me of when I first used twitter and replied to tweets from my non smart phone using SMS :-) I thought that was pretty cool too. I guess I'm easily impressed :-)
Yeah, I mean I'm replying to a kbin.social post from Lemmy and it's no different than if it were a lemmy.nz post.
Yeah, it's kinda crazy that you can start in a small instance like this but can view and comment / post to other much larger instances but I think it only pulls over each one as you sub to it (if you're the first to do so from your instance) and even then only from that point in time onwards? Not 100% sure about this but it could explain the delay/refresh required.
But then you can also sub to kbin.social which isn't even Lemmy. And somehow you can comment from Mastodon to Lemmy which isn't even the same type of service / link aggrigator. It's a lot, but it's pretty cool learning how it all works.
Wait wut?! I'm pretty sure I got attacked at night just recently? Is this a java / bedrock thing? (I'm on bedrock)
