Here in the UK we have slashes through many of the red-bordered road signs, but not all of them. People often misunderstand the ones that don’t - for instance, these mean “no motor vehicles” and “no cars” respectively:

The council probably collects a lot of money in fines from people misunderstanding those two in particular

You can read up on the conversation on the GitHub issue here.

TL;DR: the current system on the (unreleased) 1.0 codebase is that your Lemmy instance will replace all Lemmy URLs in posts/comments with the equivalent URLs on your own instance. In the issue I linked, some concerns are raised about this system and various other options are discussed. It’s possible that the way it works will change before Lemmy 1.0 is released.

You’re welcome :)

I’m also curious about the country distribution on lemmy.

I’m a developer for an iOS Lemmy client. The distribution of our downloads by territory is as follows (sample size >18k):

• 50.2% US
• 9.9% Germany
• 5.8% UK
• 5.2% Canada
• 3.5% Australia
• 25.4% other

Biases:

• It only counts users who are using that specific app, which:
  • Is only available on iOS, so Android users aren’t counted. This could have a significant effect on the results because iOS has a much higher market share in the US than, say, Germany.
  • Could be ranked differently in App Store search results in different regions.
  • Only supported English, until very recently. Users who prefer a different language may have chosen an app that supports their language.
• It includes users who downloaded the app but later stopped using Lemmy, which isn’t ideal.

Back in 2023 lemmy.ca did a survey of their users, which you may find interesting.

Lemmy doesn’t support this natively, but many clients do. Off the top of my head:

• Tesseract (desktop)
• Voyager (web frontend designed for mobile. I believe you need to install the app rather than using the website to use keyword filters)
• Mlem (iOS)
• Arctic (iOS)
• Thunder (Android & iOS)
• Sync (Android; I’ve heard Sync is unmaintained though)

Assuming you’re on desktop, Tesseract is probably your best bet. It might also be possible to get Voyager working. Some instances (like sh.itjust.works) run their own Tesseract instances (https://tesh.itjust.works/), but lemm.ee doesn’t. You’d have to use some other Tesseract instance, specifically one that allows connecting to any Lemmy instance (https://tesh.itjust.works/ is for sh.itjust.works accounts only). E.g. https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

The change was merged in Dec 2023 (see here). The Reddit Exodus was in summer 2023.

Worth noting is that what counts as an “active user” has changed between now and then. During the Reddit API exodus, an “active user” was a user who had posted or commented in the past month. Now, it includes users who have voted. If the 54k MAU record was set using the first algorithm, it is likely that the MAU using the new algorithm (which includes voting) would have been much higher.

Yes. It’s $6.99/mo for access to a load of games with no ads or IAPs. Half of the games on there are only available on Apple Arcade, the others are editions of regular App Store games but with no ads and all the IAPs already unlocked.

It kinda sucks that Apple gatekeeps certain games behind the subscription though… I wanted to play Mini Motorways on mobile, but it’s only available through Apple Arcade. For comparison Mini Metro is a OTP of $5 iirc.

Mobile apps should allow you to log into any instance. My Lemmy client won’t connect to lemmy.rip either, and fails with the following error:

The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “lemmy.rip”, which could put your confidential information at risk.

This is also what I see when I try to connect to lemmy.rip in the browser:

I am able to bypass this warning and see the site in the browser.

In 2000, American painter Robert Griffing created a painting titled, Friend or Foe, wherein, two Native American hunters are examining footprints made in the snow.

Toy = Spielzeug = Play Stuff

English has “plaything”, which is kinda similar.
