That aside, you’re not kidding:

It belongs to the family Ptinidae, which also includes the deathwatch beetle, furniture beetle and cigarette beetle.

Talk about a wild family.

Looks sharp! Sometimes the rocks themselves are the alien critters

Great stuff! Thanks again to everyone working on this!

Updated and appreciate the work!

Noticed a couple things that feel like bugs though: the first collections screen now displays a redundant blank collections folder, which when entered has duplicates of whatever collections you have from the first screen.

Second, when viewing a specific collection of shows, it displays the show folders interspersed between all the episodes of said shows.

Expected display behavior is one’s collection folders, then when a show collection folder is opened, the show folders but not the episodes unless the folder is opened to view them (or a display setting is chosen to view all episodes from all the shows).

Checked server settings to make sure I hadn’t mucked something up and everything on its end looks okay, same as ever.

Was thinking the same and you can.

Minimal fucking around needed too, just pkg install imagemagick then navigate filesystem to images ya want to adjust and magick however desired to reduce the file size.

My problem with them is this and YouTube’s aggressive pushing of them in general and in the wrong places, like any device with a horizontal display (like when using a PC/laptop).

In my opinion vertical videos are better viewed on a vertical display (like a phone) and nowhere else, because everywhere else they look worse. Now that I’m thinking more of this though…I should see if any shmup people are showing off via shorts, 'cause that’d be a good fit.

This is funny and cool! I like the tiled/grid view even more after giving the demo a look. Not sure why but the instance sidebar as shown in the screenshot isn’t displaying in the demo on my end (Firefox), but probably related to being a weekend whip-up.

Still with the spirit of this as you mention in another comment, would love to see more experimental and strange frontends. It’d be fun to see more of the different Lemmy instances/sites with unique looks to distinguish themselves.

Pretty sure it may be Ex Machina.

Aah, that may explain it! I thought it might be best to check logged out for a better sense of how search worked, so was searching logged out.

I checked on a different up to date instance (lemm.ee) knowing that, and confirmed it was federated with the relevant community, but didn’t see those results.

Strangely enough I can’t replicate similar results searching lemmy.ml either, so not sure what’s going on. 🤔

Thanks!

Regarding community search, sorry for the lack of clarity. I dropped a clear example when revising, I was referring to searching for a community by the form “videos@\sopuli.xyz”, note the missing ! from the start.

Maybe that’s more of an edge case?

Hell yeah.

Interesting vibe somewhere between, “you sure you wanna do that bub?” and “I don’t know what the fuck you are so I’m gonna slink away now”

OP is scorpions

It’s arguably layers of this cover behavior, and mostly as you say because it’s fun. The first layer, closer reading and fan theorizing, is covering why they’re into children’s media or some other media that isn’t seen as fitting them.

The second layer is entwined with the first, the fan theorizing is itself covering what some are too insecure to say or do outright, which is make fan fiction. Some may look down on making fan fiction in similar ways as they feel looked down on for what they’re enjoying, making it somewhat ironic.

In short, don’t let your fan theories remain theories, make fan fiction and your own independent, inspired work!

Certainly striking!

It’s because your account is too new, and it’s related to your instance/site choice. Lemm.ee’s policy regarding image uploads is this:

• Image uploads are enabled 4 weeks after account creation
• Image upload limit is 500kb per image

[…] there was just a little more non-political content to help dilute it due to the larger user-base.

There was/is a lot more and that’s one of the various reasons the different Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed sites haven’t swayed people over yet. There’s far more people around here replying to posts like this and news posts, as well as creating news/politics/“dry” posts or find-anywhere-fare like memes/shitposts than much else.

It’s why recently I’ve tried posting more than media news links to a few of the different entertainment communities. Around here you really have to post/comment on what you want to see more than on the big corporate sites.

The lurking downvoter, more astounding when they don’t appear than when they do. 😂

Appreciate this post OP, as I’ve wondered similar at times when not wanting to fuss with another machine for self-hosting (as often it’s not the case that I could run the server software on my main system).
