Thanks for the detailed reply! That all makes sense. I’ve noticed Alexandrite’s development has mostly stalled too. “Scaled sort” was just added a week or two ago but otherwise it’s been very quiet since initial 0.19 support was released around December. But I hadn’t thought much of it until now.
That said, now that Photon got theming support and some performance optimisations it is not unlikely that we will switch to it as the main UI in the coming weeks.
That’s not a bad idea, I’m not a fan of the Lemmy UI and wouldn’t have stuck around on Lemmy if there weren’t alternatives like Photon and Alexandrite for desktop. But as someone that prefers Alexandrite may I ask why you’re considering Photon as the slrpnk.net default UI over Alexandrite? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, I’m just curious.
Two of my favorite things. Cats and The Simpsons. Now that’s what I call a cromulent post!
Very cool, thanks for volunteering your time to help manage the instance (and that goes out to Five and poVoq too)

Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It’s extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.
I would like to know how you feel about the !notvoting@slrpnk.net community and if you think it has a place on slrpnk.net.
Well if you’re looking for opinions, I don’t think it has a place. It’s your right to refuse to participate in elections but creating a community devoted to the fact that you’re not going to do something seems like a poor use of time and energy that could be put toward something constructive. However, blocking communities I don’t want to see is easy enough, so have at it, I guess.
Also, shoutout to the !NoLawns@slrpnk.net community!
One fine day with a woof and a purr
A baby was born and it caused a little stir
No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog
Just a feline canine little CatDog
CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!
Out on the road or back in town
All kinda critters putting CatDog down
Gotta rise above it gotta try to get along
Gotta walk together gotta sing this song
CatDog, CatDog, alone in the world is a little CatDog!
Oh awesome, glad to hear it’s already in the works! I do hope it gets prioritized though. User privacy and security is important.
Made sure that blocking an instance also hides private messages from their users, to prevent harassment.
How about the ability to disable PMs entirely? (With exceptions for local instance admins)
I can assure you, there will never be a scenario where I welcome an unsolicited PM from another user.
Well, no answer that these guys want to hear.
Spot on, this applies to so many other paranormal events too. Some people refuse to believe that their favorite “mysteries” were never really all that mysterious to begin with. Nor are they willing to accept explanations they view as being too mundane. At a certain point they’ve sunk so much time and become too emotionally invested in the legend to accept anything but the most wild and grand explanations.
Dyatlov Pass is a great example of this. The avalanche theory was always the most likely explanation but without question the least exotic. But it also applies to things like the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film, the 1934 Loch Ness monster photo, the Amityville/DeFeo murders, and conspiracy theories surrounding damn near every modern political assassination since Lincoln.
While we had some server issues last month and also did not yet upgrade to the latest version of Lemmy (due to federation bugs with it) we can still welcome more users in 2024.
This is exactly why I’m here now. My normal instance, like many, has been rendered useless due to the outbound federation bug and the lemmy devs are AWOL so who knows when it’ll get fixed. I was already active in some communities on this instance so I was pretty happy to see slrpnk hadn’t upgraded to 0.19/0.19.1 yet. Thanks for providing a new home base for me!
Question for the admins: Have you folks been following the development of Sublinks at all?
I’m very intrigued by this project, as moderation tools don’t seem to be much of a priority for the Lemmy devs. But I’d love to hear an admin’s perspective.
