I have a really out of the loop question that will probably make me sound like a troll, but really I’m just old and out of the loop:

What exactly are the unique features of Tumblr? as far as I recall it was just a blogging site with support for specific post formats, right? Did it get more complicated than that?

This seems pretty normal to me. I used to get a 6 month WoW sub for my birthday in summer and then again at Christmas and that was what, over 15 years ago. Also I was an adult, but still, hobby supplies are a great gift.

I have admittedly still not managed to read that one because I’m a coward.

But the ones I own get reread so often half the covers are falling off, and I’m still finding new jokes every time. It’s actually ridiculous.

And the Discworld books!

Hah, this is a new one on me

Definitely have a couple of friends who need to use this feature

Whining and whinging are definitely not the same thing, but I’m struggling to articulate why. Just something British (and I guess Australian, judging by this thread) folks grow up with and intuitively understand.

I’m middle aged and I’m ok with that!

And from lemmy.world 👋

I know this is a couple days old but just popping in to suggest !sewingrepairing@sh.itjust.works

As a supertaster, bitter things are difficult to enjoy because even slight bitterness tends to overpower everything else. So I agree with OP and will take my downvotes accordingly.

Just FYI you should have your profile set to both, otherwise you’re missing content posted in English.

You might also find you’ll occasionally need to set a language when responding to a post or comment made from Kbin, there’s some kind of weird combo of settings that sometimes won’t let an Undetermined comment go through, so just something to bear in mind.

Dunking on LotR, calling it a “sublemmy”, I see you and I respect your commitment to unpopularity.

Lol at people reporting this post for misinformation. Futurama season numbers have always been ill-defined and now we just have to live with it. Be thankful you’re not in the UK where the DVD ordering made it even weirder.

There is new Futurama coming out. Be less cranky and more excited!

Congrats on your truly unpopular opinion, OP. And thank you everyone in the comments for turning this into a list of basically all the simple things us devs can do to improve accessibility. Crossposted it to !gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone for reference haha.

Swear nobody ever understands when I do this and they look at me with even more confusion than people usually look at me. Which is a fair bit of confusion, to be clear.

It’s just not needed though, is the thing. These “links” aren’t links that are posted for people to follow, they’re just an artifact of having posted from Mastodon. As we get more interaction between the two platforms, your bot as currently written will reply to every single post and comment made from Mastodon, ever. It serves literally no purpose in this situation other than to clog up threads.

I’m not trying to start a fight or anything. If you absolutely won’t be convinced that it’s pointless replying to Mastodon tags, maybe you can at least consider limiting it to replying only on the main post? Otherwise, again, every single comment in the thread that is made from Mastodon is going to get the same bot response.

Well to post to Lemmy from Mastodon, the Mastodon user has to tag the community. That tag displays as a link on the Lemmy side. The Mastodon user has no control over the format of said link, as it’s a Mastodon user tag. So your bot shouldn’t be trying to correct it at all in this case.

Fyi your bot is apparently trying to “correct” people posting from Mastodon too. Seems like it’s replying to every comment that comes through from Mastodon’s side. Example: https://lemmy.world/post/1628806

I understand intellectually that following “celebrities” and hearing about the minutia of their lives is something that a lot of people want. But for the life of me, I can’t really grasp it. I’m glad there are platforms that cater to that sort of thing for you.

Definitely going to be an unpopular opinion that it’s a “con” though, I expect most here would consider it a feature.
