Aurora Store would probably be your best bet, honestly.

I copied your post into an issue here.

Seems like onboarding will be handled by a bot, so I imagine it shouldn’t really matter what instance you’re using. As for instances that are “Joining in”, I think that just refers to Admins for those instances promoting the event.

+1 to this. I’ve noticed that posts haven’t been federating in !tampabaylightning@fanaticus.social either for the past several days.

Man that’s fucking crazy. Somehow looks like the entire crew survived too.

It’s rather odd. YouTube links used to embed just fine, and you can even navigate to older YouTube posts where the embedding still works just fine. Not sure what was changed recently that broke the feature.

You do realize that many people on this instance participate in blahaj.zone communities, right? Why call people ‘weirdos’ for actually caring about how the communities and instances which they interact with are ran?

I feel like you’re being unnecessarily inflammatory here. People are entitled to discuss whatever they want to when it comes to the Fediverse in this community, and this topic falls well within that category. No need to attack people for sharing their opinions on the matter.

Ah, the good ol’ ‘administrator discretion’. Seems like a classic case of power-tripping site admins doubling down on their opinion while disregarding any notion that they may be in the wrong. Can’t say I’m surprised - it was only a matter of time before we saw this kind of behavior in the threadiverse.

Regardless of how you may feel about NSFW content on Lemmy, this is a huge red flag for lemmy.blahaj.zone, and I would advise against people joining that instance purely based on the admins’ apparent inability to properly investigate or understand the content that they federate with. Hopefully they can clarify their rules in the near future and justify why exactly this defederation happened, or reverse their decision, swallow a little bit of pride, and admit they were in the wrong.

EDIT: More admin correspondence can be found here.

Very ‘my way or the highway’ behavior from the blahaj.zone admins. Really not a good look.

AFAIK, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml use it because the ml can also stand for “Marxist-Leninist”, and the two primary maintainers of Lemmy are Marxist-Leninists . Not sure about the others though.

What happens if you use vxTwitter? It’s used to fix Twitter video embeds in Discord, but I’m curious if it would work on Lemmy as well.

All you need to do is put ‘vx’ before the Twitter url, like https://vxtwitter.com/Feher_Junior/status/1681205871483797504

War is a bitch.

Last time I went through CDG it took me 3 hours from arrival to get to the gate. Luckily the flight was delayed, so I was able to still make it. Absolute insanity.

Dang, you can spot the pilot splashing down in the water with his parachute. I wonder if he ever made it back to shore.

what a time to be alive

I’d say wait and see how it plays out. I’m all for making the fediverse more accessible to the general public, as long as Facebook/Meta doesn’t try anything funny, which does seem unlikely, but we shall see.

Battles and Beers just posted a interview with the soldier who got his leg blown off at the end - his name is Oleg Horpinyak. Please consider supporting his recovery via PayPal: yevheniihorpyniak@gmail.com

“We were heading on the Bradley for casualty evacuation. There were three of us in the cargo compartment. I had a large medical backpack with me. I showed two medics sitting next to me where the tourniquets and Combat Gauze were located.

Then I started observing the monitor to get a rough idea of the area. I noticed that my comrades were visibly nervous. It was obvious that I would go first. So, we stopped. I took out the stretchers from the backpack and waited for the ramp to open.

It felt like an eternity. The moment of truth arrived. The ramp opened. I stepped out and stood on the ramp. I saw one of my wounded comrades lying to my left. He was quite far from me.

I was thinking I should get closer to him and noticed a crater from the explosion. I took off my rifle to avoid hindering myself. I jumped into the crater and landed, but my right leg couldn’t bear the weight of the armour and the unstable ground. I land on my knee.

After that, there was an explosion and everything went dark in my eyes.

And I fell on my back. My leg was extremely painful. I looked at my right leg, and it was torn apart. I could see the flesh, bones, and hanging skin. A thought popped into my head: ‘Where should I apply the tourniquet in this situation?’

I decided to apply it just somewhere. I took out the tourniquet, held it in my hands, and contemplated my next actions. I began to unfold it and tie up it. And then I heard my comrade telling me to get back into the Bradley. I started crawling.

I reached out my hand to be pulled back, but he said there is mines there, and asked me to get closer. I continued crawling the whole time and it was incredibly painful.

When people say that there will be adrenaline and you won’t feel anything, it makes me want to laugh. Because in real life, it’s not like that at all. You might not feel a bullet, but you’ll definitely feel a severed limb.

After I got into the Bradley, I asked them to tie up a second tourniquet to my right leg and then to tie up it to my left leg.
