They're viewable on Lemmy too!

Of course. My inquiry was out of theoretical curiosity, and not so much anything practicaly useful for security, or privacy.

Would it be possible to at least show the total subscribers from all federated instances?

As shown below, it appears that all Firefox tabs are just named "Firefox" within the volume mixer. This doesn't exactly make differentiating them very easy. Is it possible to make the volume mixer show the names of the tabs instead? If not, is there any feature in the works for this that anyone may be aware of?

Forums are an invaluable source of information for countless purposes. Even extremely old forum posts can be a life-saver.

 

I'm not sure how practical/sustainable of a project this would be, but I feel that it could possibly be a useful project in the future if instances begin to purge old content due to storage constaints. The archiving service could store all the data using Object storage to archive it in read only. That way, at least people can still view old content in the possible scenario of rampant data loss across the Fediverse.

Thank you for the apology 😊 I can understand how my post could've been construed as being lazy.

??? Why don’t you tap it and see.

I did try that. Nothing appeared to happen, or change on my end; however, I now realize what the issue was. The first thought that I had, when I first noticed that Icon, was actually the exact same as that which you said; it just never occured to me that I could be on the same instance as the comments in question. So, when I tried clicking that icon, I was clicking it on a post that was from Lemmy.world -- the same instance that I am on. As such, I noticed no change in the displayed content -- the page would appear to load, but nothing would actually change. This is, of course, to be expected -- I just didn't put 2 and 2 together. I apologize if my inquiry seemed lazy, or thoughtless.

As an aside, In my defence, the UI also doesn't necessarily tell you what the icon does. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see the following:

Imo "link" isn't exactly descriptive, as to the button's purpose.

 

If you look next to the user's name in a comment when viewing through the Lemmy Web UI you'll see the following: What is this?

Go to filter by action and choose “removing comments”

That's only within the modlog, though. I'm talking about withint the comment thread for a post. As I stated:

Also, can you see mod removals within a comment thread? Or is it only in the modlog that you can see removals?

[–] Kalcifer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Cool! However, while it does show the full log of removals, it appears that I can't see the original content of the post -- I can only see that a post with a title was removed. Also, can you see mod removals within a comment thread? Or is it only in the modlog that you can see removals?

 

On Reddit, one frequently runs into posts that are archived, and thus the user cannot interract with them anymore -- motive is stated here. I'm curious if Lemmy would ever do the same.

 

Can you see if a moderator has removed comments from a thread? Can you see the content of the removed comments? Are moderators able to specify motive for the specific removal?

 

I just recently noticed the following button in the comment section:

Clicking it appears to make the comments look somewhat like what you see on Mastodon, but I'm a little unsure about it's exact format. Is it only showing parent comments? Is it showing parent and child comments all mixed together? If so, in what order? Is it in order of when the comment was added? If it does show child comments, is it possible to see that child's context?

This is, of course, assuming that the instance is not hosted on the same network that the device your account is using is accessing it from.

Some services run where they are natively accessible through tor, but most don’t.

This was mostly what I was referring to. Does there already exist a sort of "hidden fediverse"? As in a fediverse that is only accessible over Tor/i2p?

[–] Kalcifer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wasn't clear enough in my original post. I was referring to the idea of creating a sort of "hidden fediverse" which would be separate from the one over the clearnet.

I'm aware of Signal's "no log policy", but I'm wondering if such information is visible to the servers at all. I'm assuming "Sealed sender" is what is supposed to protect this information? If so, how effective is it?
