There’s no way to change it in the current version of the default lemmy-ui web interface. You may be able to in some other Lemmy clients.

Stuff like Lemmy’s word list

Lemmy’s slur filter is disabled by default. It’s opt-in at the admin level, and most instances don’t opt for it, including your own I believe.

I don’t know why this molehill keeps being made into a mountain.

They can take my em dashes from my cold, dead typing fingers.

BE has some phenomenal takes, and some of his essays are exemplary. It’s easy for a Western baby leftist to assume the rest is equally good.

I assume eldavi understands this, but it never hurts to spell it out for bystanders.

I doubt there are very many, because most people don’t do these kinds of things, not even le evil tankies.

@Cowbee@lemmy.ml, explain yourself:

$ curl -s https://tesseract.dubvee.org/tesseract/api/system/policy | base64 -d | gunzip \
>    | gron | grep -iP '(davel|cowbee|yogthos)'
json.userRegexes[466] = "^davel$";
json.userRegexes[2187] = "^yogthos$";
$

Most admins & mods want them hidden because when they’re readily accessible to users, more catfights & vendettas spring up, which makes more unpleasant work for the mods & admins.

I think one or more user polls have been done in the past where the popular opinion was to keep them hidden. Does anyone remember, or better yet have a link?

Stalin has been dead for over 70 years, and “tankie” is nothing but a terminally-online pejorative for anyone left of Sanders. Maybe spend less time worrying about people’s takes on Stalin. He was neither Jesus nor was he Lucifer, despite what a century of anticommunist propaganda has said about him.

There’s no way to follow Lemmy users on Lemmy, though ironically, you can follow Lemmy users on Mastodon.

You can also follow a user’s RSS feed. The URL format is: https://HOSTNAME/feeds/u/USERNAME.xml?sort=New

Yes, it’s fine. The issue isn’t with that post. It’s with this one, specifically with the external link preview, which isn’t Lemmy’s most reliable feature. It may not be an issue that OP can mitigate, and they may not need to, unless they intend to post links to their blog posts often.

I don’t think this is a crossposting issue; I think it’s an external link preview issue.

That depends on the evidence, I suppose, and I’m not an admin for kbin.melroy.org, so I can’t ban them from your site, only mine.

But the what I would normally suggest is to report the post(s) or comment(s) for suspected vote manipulation, and let the mods & admins address them.

Admins can see the votes and identify bad actors, and they can set up automation tools. On lemmy.ml, we consider them spam accounts and ban them.

But it’s trivial to use an external tool to see who voted on what regardless of whose account it is.

It’s also trivial for us to defederate from such tools, which our instance and others have done in the case of lemvotes.

Individuals with net assets of 100 million or more of a currency are commonly termed centimillionaires, or more rarely hectomillionaires.

Spez is probably a centimillionaire, and Sam Altman supposedly has a 9% stake in Reddit. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

Who knows what this pseudo-event is about, other than shoving oligarchs in my face again. Fuck all these fuckers.

You’re putting the instance name (“@lemmy.world”) in the search term, which is why the searches are failing. If you already know the user or community you’re looking for, then why would you be searching for it? You already have it!

• https://lemmy.ml/search?type=Communities&q=blah
• https://lemmy.ml/search?type=Users&q=blah

When you do a search, the default is “All,” which is why your search results had a bit of everything. If you had chosen “Users” or “Communities” then you would have gotten only users or only communities, respectively.

Inside the Lemmyverse and its API, it’s not confusing at all. Outside of the Lemmyverse there be dragons.
