Could you please add !52weeksofart@lemmy.world to your art list?

Sergio@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 1y

Ok done!

rulray@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 1y (6 replies)

!boardgames@sopuli.xyz has only one post from over a year ago, I'm no sure that can be called active.

Edit: my language settings were wrong, see comment below.

Grimy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (5 replies)

Maybe a bug? Last post was 60 minutes ago.

rulray@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Aha, solved it, I hadn't selected English in languages setting, so it was hiding everything. Thank you for pointing it out.

AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Oof, wouldn't that have been hiding a huge number of posts from your feed? Lemmy must have seemed really quiet

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I posted about this on !youshouldknow@lemmy.world, seems like quite a few new joiners are having the issue

AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

Yes, I'm the top comment in there 😂

rulray@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y

Yeah, it was me xD But there's something going on, i can't see any reply, even after I got the notifications.

PriorityMotif@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

I'm the mod at !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

I created !Dullsters@dullsters.net as a fun project. Same content, new address. Dull mens club will remain active.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 1y (15 replies)

@otter@lemmy.ca could you maybe pin this post to the community? That was it's more visible for people visiting

otter@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y (14 replies)

Good call, pinned!

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y (4 replies)

Hello @otter@lemmy.ca,

Sorry to bother you again, but it seems like the pin gets reset everyday? I pinned it yesterday, and it's unpinned again on other instances:

Not sure what is happening here, but I don't have the same issue on !movies@lemm.ee for instance

otter@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (3 replies)

It's odd that something is causing it to be unpinned afterwards. Is it unpinned everywhere that you've checked, or those instances in particular?

I'll pass this along to the others

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Everywhere I checked. Also, the pin actions don't seem to federate:

otter@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Odd, I'll see if we can figure out what might be happening

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y

Thanks!

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y (7 replies)

Seems like it didn't pin on lemm.ee: https://lemm.ee/c/communitypromo@lemmy.ca 🤔

Could you may try to unpin/repin it?

otter@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (6 replies)

Odd, I guess pins still don't federate consistently?

Did it a few times, and it looks like it's pinned there now :)

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y (5 replies)

Good!

Reminds of that classic GIF: https://giphy.com/gifs/css-13FrpeVH09Zrb2

otter@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (4 replies)

If it works, it works 😄

Blaze@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Hello @otter@lemmy.ca ,

Seems like it's not working anymore, for instance

Would you mind making me a mod with this account? That way I can try to fix this without bothering you every time :)

otter@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y

Yea totally, not sure why I didn't do that sooner

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y

Perfect, thanks! I'll revisit the post from time to time

ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Again what’s the point of movies and moviesandshows?

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

!movies@lemm.ee is movies.

!showsandmovies@lemm.ee is about TV shows. Name is unfortunate, but it comes from a time where we had both content on the same communities, they are now split. The display name has been changed to "Shows and TV"

Thanks!
