Looks good, I always found the current menu pretty busy. Wish it didn’t move the action buttons to the top and switch Refresh and Share though.

The user isn’t even British, so this can’t be because of the OSA: https://xcancel.com/DoubleLane29/status/1951680086031122662

It’s less clear to me if static images get auto compressed on upload. Looks like pictrs implemented this a couple years ago, but I’m not sure if this is automatic behavior or has to be turned on by Lemmy admins.

Non animated images, I’m guessing are automatically compressed on upload. Otherwise I suspect many more people would be complaining about failed uploads. But I’m working on verifying this

There does seem to be options in pictrs to compress images by format, I’d assume that having these unset (default) would mean no compression happens. I think the reason there isn’t any complaining about image uploads happening is because, by default, they don’t have constraints applied to them. Only animation (256x256 dimension limit) and video (max 20 MiB file size) have constraints put on them in pictrs by default, though there is a 20 MiB upload limit set in nginx.

Lemmy imposes it’s own rate limits on how many images you can upload/time period. I wanna say the default is roughly 6 images/hour, but I might be totally wrong there.
I’m also curious how many sever admins leave the default settings, or change them.

feddit.uk has its set to 2 every 5 minutes. I think a previous admin set that, but it seems sensible enough.

The Bridge should just work based on the account’s discoverable flag, ie if it’s true you’re opted into the Bridge.

God knows at this point, both seem active enough with users apparently refusing to use either.

Either because you posted to ml and they’re doing their boycott ml thing, or that we’re consolidating on this comm now: https://feddit.uk/post/32996358.

If this was legal currency, I would be the most annoying FBPE person alive (a tall task).

If you have any questions, let me know and I’ll try my best to answer them.

This does explain why a lot of subreddits had the pinned comment be the automod telling people to follow the rules.

the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments

No? It was said it shouldn’t be done in the backend, a frontend or an alternative client can still do PieFed style comment listing.

Anyone else read horse girl and thought they meant like Uma Musume?

The Threadiverse app with the most standout feature is probably Quiblr and its recommendation system. I can’t speak to if it’s actually any good, as I don’t use it, but it’s interesting nontheless.

Also, I wish more apps has lemmy-ui ‘chat’ sort for comments. It’s surprisingly nice for seeing new comments in a thread you’ve read before.

I believe we’re compliant with the law, I’ve patched our Lemmy with this so we’re not hosting NSFW content and to my knowledge we don’t have any communities that need to be age kept (ones that encourage eating disorders, suicide, or self-harm). I think we need to make some changes to our TOC and land some documentation explaining how the report feature works ‘in a way that a child can understand’*. There are more changes I’m looking at making in Lemmy that would make Ofcom happier (like this), but again I don’t think we’d have issues with Ofcom if they looked at us.

* We have to assume you’re all children as we can’t say otherwise unless we do surveillance (or ‘age verification’) despite the average age of users of this instance probably being in the 30s.

I think I’m fairly lucky in that non of the sites I use have gone the geoblock route. Even so, I pay for a VPN so it’s not like that is effective.

Ofcom is the designated regulator and has the power of enforcement. The law doesn’t define what age verification means, only that it much be ‘highly effective’ (Section 12 (6)). It is therefore left to Ofcom to set out in its Code of Practices (Section 41 (3)) what ‘highly effective age verification’ means, which is what this guidance is. This isn’t Ofcom being nice, this is them telling you how they’re going to enforce the law.

Section 4.37 of Ofcom’s Guidance on Highly Effective Age Assurance for Part 3 Services:

In addition, service providers should not publish content on their service that directs or encourages UK users to circumvent the age assurance process or the access controls, for example by providing information about or links to a virtual private network (VPN) which may be used by children to circumvent the relevant processes.

I pointed this out to you in the !fediverselore@lemmy.ca thread and you acknowledged it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/49571446/20253309
