Thank you so much, I’ll check it out!

Absolutely, it’s a great read. Could you link the video you watched?

I think it is a bug and here’s why

I have setup a lemmy instance to understand how it works and hopefully contribute something meaningful

My instance has 2 users, both are subscribed to the same cross-instance community, but only one is showing Subscribe Pending even if I un-sub and re-sub

I am not aware of any approval system to subscribe to a community, so I believe the approval was received the community instance, but the “accept” response data was missed / dropped when returning to your host instance

Not specific to AI, some of the people I work with make me prone to drinking as well

So far really good! It has some quirks, and there are some bugs and some teething issue with the large influx of people (specifically on lemmy.ml)

It is a mind-set change working with a different system and the whole instance idea is still very new for me

As an Australian, it was very quiet last night (10ish hours ago), but that will improve as more people join

And this leads to another question, how can I browses communities on other instances with my already existing account? What about platforms such as mastodon where I’m supposed to be able to browse and submit and such?

I would recommend this

I have also found some interesting communities on !newcommunities@lemmy.world

What about if I want to link to a post that will work for the local instance?

For example, @huojtkeg@lemmy.world posted above that https://lemmy.world/post/58535 is his instance link, and https://lemmy.ml/post/1205894 is the link from lemmy.ml. Neither of which allow me to comment directly.

Is there linking method that says Give me the link for post #X on instance Y, but give me the link on the viewing instance?

so if the operator of rambo goes “man fuck this” and shuts it down, the posts/comments are gone? there’s no way to replicate them or sync them or whatever?

My understanding is that if a user on a different instance is subscribed, then that second instance will keep copies of previous post / comments.

But there also appears to be a download limit, so over time the non-original instances will lose those copies.

It’s a strange new world over here!

Oh yes, you are right! Specifically All doesn’t work.

I have found a bug report listed for it, and it should be fixed in the next release - 0.18.

I want to say it is an issue with your instance, but we actually run the same UI and BE version.

Maybe something to do with the server issue lemmy.ml is experiencing.

Same thing if you log out and back in?

I have saved mine in my profile and they are working correctly.

When you load the profile after the save, have they reverted there? Or is it that when you view your home page the ordering is incorrect?

Yeah, very concerning!

I think it is related to this change, so maybe the sanitize is causing the issue here.

I am not the author, but I found this an amazing write-up
