  • I wonder if you’re running into the same thing that I’ve had quite a bit of issue with in the last few weeks on lemmy.world.

    When I go to the ‘copy’ of a post on lemmy.world from another instance, I will get the same message of “You must log in or register to comment.”
    Only by searching for the post on lemmy.world, clicking through to it, and then also refreshing, does lemmy seem to acknowledge that I am in fact logged in! But only if I do those steps in that order.

    EDIT: I’ve made it a bit easier for myself by setting up the search engine in my browser: https://lemmy.world/search?q=%25s
    So that I can just copy any other instance link, go to the address bar and type ls (the keyword I chose for the search engine), paste in the link and then go to the lemmy.world version from there, and refresh the page.

    I used to be able to just use the Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin extension by cynber, but for the last few weeks I have to do the whole search and refresh dance instead.





  • Also, outside the US WhatsApp is some kind of standard the way rich Americans think iMessage is. Companies will ask her to contact them on WhatsApp, so she’ll have to have it regardless of your personal involvement.

    That really depends on the country that the family member is moving to, and is not an absolute thing world-wide.







  • What a super cool idea, and I love the implementation! I do however keep accidentally downvoting, when I want to upvote, and vice versa, since all other sites that I’ve ever used, display the upvote first, and the downvote second. Any chance of a toggle for that in settings?

    A must-have feature for me is the ability to collapse comments on posts. Right now it seems like we can only collapse replies to comments, or put differently, we can only collapse child-comments. Any chance you could make it possible to collapse parent comments too?
