No problem :)

I would if I could. I cringe every time I see my handle at the top of the homepage.

@tom@feddit.uk Could you un-feature my post now please? :)

I’m repeating myself cos I said this in another thread but the pending subscriptions should still be showing posts in your feed when you select subscribed at the top, at least they do for me and someone else confirmed it was the case for them too. The pending is a visual glitch - I think.

I know, I’m just not playing into it because there’s no point. :)

Lol. Don’t get me wrong of course bad stuff happens all day every day and most of it doesn’t get reported / capture peoples attention, that much is obvious. All I meant was that that doesn’t necessarily make it funny to mock the death of people just because it was reported. Wasn’t trying to start a debate or owt.

Haha, they both sound like nice interactions - even if doggo wasn’t too sure! This little one was extremely dopey, barely moving and made no attempt to fly at all. I’m guessing it hadn’t long emerged or possibly exhausted itself trying to get back out once it flew inside. I put a piece of banana peel near it (I wasn’t sure what else to do and I thought it was dying lol) and it perked up! So I ushered it onto a tupperware lid and took it outside. Let’s hope they both find a friend so the species can continue. :)

That doesn’t justify your post though.

Bit in poor taste mate.

I’d been thinking about this because of the missing sub. Technically not UK news but there were UK citizens onboard.

Thank you for making this post. I saw it happen and found it very concerning. I didn’t feel capable to address it myself so I am very glad someone else has raised the issue. I would like to hope that the vast majority (should be everyone but evidently not with what’s happened) of our instance will be in agreeance that transphobia is absolutely not something we want to be associated with here. @tom@feddit.uk Please deal with this.

Definitely some federation issues. I ended up creating an account on both instances because so much stuff is missing when you view each instance from within the other.

I’m truly sorry you’ve had this experience here. I saw your post and I saw how quickly it got locked. I also saw how you handled the situation in the other thread where they debated with you back and forth. I won’t pretend to be hugely knowledgable regarding the issues that the trans community face and that is on me, I need to educate myself. I just want to add that I think Tom may be on holiday at present and it might be that he isn’t sure how to respond to you. However, that’s not an excuse and I do think that the community should have been locked down at the very least. It’s unfortunate timing that an instance was created, it’s grown extremely quickly in numbers, and the lead admin is not able to give full attention to pressing issues like this. I hope a resolution can be reached soon.

As far as I know, it’s a visual glitch and you are actually subscribed. Posts made to these communities should still be showing up in your main feed when you select ‘subscribed’ - At least that was the case for me with my pending ones.

I don’t know how to do it, but there is a way to lock your community to ‘mod-only’. This stops posts being created which is probably for the best if you don’t intend to be here at all to oversee anything. As I understand it, Lemmy is currently at huge risk of an influx of bot accounts / it’s already happening. Tom has added email verification to register with our instance but anyone on the whole Fediverse can still come here and post / comment whatever they want. If things start getting posted to your community and you aren’t here to deal with it, is Tom supposed to do it for you? Definitely best to lock it imo :)

UKcasual on lemmy.world has 2.33k subs. You’ll see a different number depending on which instance you view it from. To see the true number, you need to view it at the source instance.

I don’t always mind the smell depending on what they’re smoking as I guess strains smell different but sometimes it’s rank and when it’s a few days in a row I start to feel a bit icky. My back is starting to improve slowly, thank you :)

In the end I made an account on both instances too, but mainly because they don’t seem to be federating very well. When I view lemmy.world communities from my feddit account stuff is missing and vice versa. So I use my feddit account just for here and my lemmy.world account for all the other crap I wanna follow across the fediverse lol.

It’s really nice to hear that you found an appreciation for the changing nature even if it isn’t usually something that’s on your radar. I wonder where along the canal route you are compared to me!? I kept it vague with Cherwell District because you know, this is the internet. Lol.

Agree. What use is it to make a community and then leave with no intention of moderating it and leaving open to who knows what. Potentially creating a lot of strife for Tom if something goes wrong. You’re only as strong as your weakest link, and all that. It’s 100% the mindset of “I don’t actually care about this community that I’ve chosen to make but I didn’t want anybody else to make it. If you’re lucky I’ll come back one day”. Eye roll.

In that case at least it wasn’t glass! Would have turned your kitchen into a crime scene.
