JaymesRS

I was doing the BINGO sheet at r/Fantasy and I had heard there were a few other subreddits doing them too like r/Romance. I continued my sheet even after I left Reddit, but I’m stuck because I still want to discuss it, but don’t have any desire to return to Reddit in any fashion.

It was due for r/Fantasy on 4/1 and that’s also when they post the new one. Is there anyone else that had started it that wants to discuss theirs or start one of our own going forward?

When I open a link to a video posted in a comment and it opens in the browser, I have to make sure I interact with the screen to keep the display timeout from triggering otherwise the display shuts off and the video/audio stops.

Thanks.

Is there a community for moments where you think of something or have a burst of nostalgia out of the blue that you haven’t thought of for an extended period of time?

What made me think of this was that I just had a moment like that when I found a pencil on the ground, where the wood was super pale and the outside was brightly colored and it reminded me of having to use the Yikes! plastic pencils back in the 90s. I don’t think I’ve thought of them since then…

Something that I got used to in the past when I used to read fark.com a ton was the ability to have brief tags associated with users that were non-public, Something on the scale of like 25 to 50 characters. I’m not even thinking, necessarily in line with their comments, but a brief note section that could be shown on their profile page when they’re clicked on with maybe some sort of icon next to their name to show that you’ve saved a comment for them.

Fark.com used to have a feature like this where you could use Freeform text to make a short tag about somebody that way in case you ran across them in the future, it could remind you of things. I often used it to denote people who tended to argue in bad faith, or who worked for a specific company or in a specific field or even was a dev on a specific app so they probably knew what they were talking about in those spaces or maybe they lived near me so we’re familiar with regional things, etc.

And while it would probably be better to have it be a Lemmy feature that synchronized across all apps, it could be useful as an app differentiator as well.

Thanks for your consideration.

Solved I have 2 accounts on different instances with the name JaymesRS. I created my original on Midwest.social because it was the one I liked best at the time, I created a second at literature.cafe later because I identified more with that community, but I wanted there to be some continuity between them. I kept the other around for backup though.

If I only sign in to one of those accounts I have no problem with comments showing up on federated communities, however, if I sign in to both and switch accounts then switch back I no longer see federated comments. I will see the number of comments listed, but when I open the thread it says no comments found. I can still see comments on my local community though.

I can fix this by uninstalling and reinstalling the app and re signing in to only one of the accounts. It seems like removing the accounts itself won’t resolve the bug. I have a third account with a completely different name on a 3rd instance too and that doesn’t seem to trigger the bug.

If I can offer any other answers or help, let me know.

Test Flight Version 0.2.11

I use the page count plugin plus a template program I adapted from one found online (included below) to build a column that categorizes books by length. (I use this to build collections I use when I’m picking my next to read)

I’d like to exclude certain books from getting a classification though if they are PDFs or have tags like “Graphic Novel” or “Cookbook”. I’d appreciate any help figuring this out.

program:
val = field('#pagecount');
first_non_empty(
	cmp(val, 0, ' ', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 15, 'Flash Fiction', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 50, 'Short Story', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 100, 'Novelette', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 250, 'Novella', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 500, 'Short Novel', '', ''),
	cmp(val, 750, 'Long Novel', '', ''),	
	cmp(val, 1000, 'Tome', '', ''),
	'Toe Breaker');
