We've known each other for a decade and he consumes a lot of common history sources like BBC documentaries, Behind the Bastards, Hardcore History etc... he's well meaning but very lib, and an expat from TERF Island.

He wanted podcast recommendations so I sent him "Blowback". He is very excited to listen to it.

I almost feel bad, but someone had to tell him.

Thought I’d wait a few weeks to see if it would sort itself out.

It’s my fathers, and I’m just now realizing I’m only here due to American imperialism lol

I've noticed any time I try to share a picture with your instance it is filtered and replaced with *removed externally hosted image*. Seems a fairly stifling design choice, if federation is gonna be successful. Why won't you let me love you?

Thank you

going to test image sizing in the comments, fr please ignore

how much more should we do to ratio libs on lemmy?

I just started my bot @[email protected]; and it's begun subscribing to a ridiculous amount of communities. This is important because in order for a federated community to appear in the all page one member of the local instance must subscribe to that community. Some new communities I can already see are /c/UnixPorn and /c/SelfHost. Posts might take a while to populate, though, as these are new communities Hexbear hasn't yet seen

Thanks to @[email protected] for the advice in this thread.

Please note, hornyposters, that I've disabled subscribing to NSFW communities.

They're from many different instances. What gives?

I slapped together a userscript to auto-collapse comment chains made by users not from hexbear.net or lemmygrad.ml. Hope this helps people who aren't happy about federation to not have to see the eye-wateringly bad takes (I recommend combining this with setting your defaults to browse posts by Local and Hot to not see posts from other instances and not use the struggle-session sort aka Active). You can use it by installing the TamperMonkey/ViolentMonkey extension in your browser and then creating a new script and copy/pasting the following into it:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Lib Blocker
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Block federated users on hexbear.net
// @author       YearOfTheCommieDesktop
// @match        https://hexbear.net/*
// @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=tampermonkey.net
// @require      https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/CoeJoder/[email protected]/waitForKeyElements.js
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

function processComment(comment) {
    var link = comment.querySelectorAll('a[title="link"]');
    if (link.length >= 2 && (!link[1].href.includes("hexbear.net") && !link[1].href.includes("lemmygrad.ml"))) {
        comment.querySelector('button[aria-label="Collapse"]').click();
    }
    return true;
}

It just shows "Server error" on a white page for me

Happy Federation 111

Does it treat all posts from any instance the same or are they like, weighted based on the amount of users or something to make it fair for the smaller instances?

If somebody could just link me to the exact code in the repo that's fine too

Hi bears! Out of hibernation and into the fedi.

this is an alt. I regularly delete my main accounts comments. After my most recent deletion, I can no longer login.

is this the intended results?

Edit: The Safari security patch from around July 20, 2023 seems to have fixed the issue somehow. May also have been fixed by a concurrent Hexbear version upgrade.

If anyone else uses mobile safari, can you check how much data Hexbear is storing on your phone?

-Settings app

-Safari

-Advanced (scroll to bottom)

-Website Data

-How big is the listing for Hexbear? Mine was 3 GB, then I cleared it. Every new post I visit adds 3-5 MB.
