So we cannot screenshot it, clever... We need to document this and make sure everyone knows what reddit is doing. Perhaps screenshotting the post before posting it, making sure to include the permalink can be an idea to demonstrate their censorship

Can you still see the text of the original post? I mean, the text containing the link to lemmy

I use startpage, that returns the same results as google but keeping you private and with no annoying ads

Why are whatsapp stickers so slow to load? (lemmy.one)
 

Hello! I have a lot of sticker packs I created (up to 60), all well cataloged and easy to find. However, for mysterious reasons, it takes a HUGE time to load them up: if I want a sticker from one of the latest packs (so the last one to be loaded, as the loading is done pack by pack) it may take up to a minute or two! I thought that these stickers were downloaded from internet everytime, thus the slow loading, but if I enable airplane mode they still load, slow as usual. does this happend only to me or is a common problem? can you think of any way to fix this?

I really dislike whatsapp but unluckily at least here where I live everyone uses whatsapp, so I am forced to use it if I want to communicate.

thanks in advance!

Question about how web domains work in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] tubbadu@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's "only" 10K? It isn't so much if you think about it, I expected a lot more

If you are a student, the Github Student Pack gives you a free .me domain for a year. cool! after the 1 year you can pay to keep it or just let it go?

Question about how web domains work (lemmy.one)
 

Hello fellow Lemmings! I hope this is the right place to ask this. I don't understand how web domains work. Let's say I want to buy the domain "abcdefghi.net". I can go to a domain provider like haruba or godaddy and just buy it. but how can they, a private, sell me these domains? I'm not talking about the hosting, but just the domain. where do they register this domain I'm buying? isn't it possible to register it myself instead of paying these services to do it for me?

Hello! I wrote a simple bot that periodically checks for new reddit posts and posts them to lemmy, so that people migrating from reddit to lemmy can still be able to see their favourite posts, but familiarizing with lemmy.

currently the coments are not synced, but this may change in the future (perhaps)

Yes, it uses the Reddit API, so it will stop working on the 1st of July, but I think that then I can implement a sort of web scraper to access Reddit posts without the official API, so this may eventually keep working for a while.

this script is currently on my laptop so it will be offline most of the time, but if I get the approval I may host it somewhere to get it running 24h/24.

now the question... Is this allowed? having this bot running 24h/24 on large subreddits will mean a very high quantity of posts. will this cause any problem to Lemmy?

if you want a preview check out https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/c/reddit_memes, where I started syncing a few posts from r/memes

let me know your opinion on this!

==== EDIT

here's the bot source code

The bot is now running in https://sh.itjust.works/c/reddit_memes, let's try to see if it work (I hope that shit just works)

I'm a bit concerned about the legality of this, if anyone has any info please tell me!
