  • Do YOU watch subtitled or dubbed anime?

    Jump

  • I always watch subbed.

    On one hand because I just like the Japanese language.

    But also because there are no dubs in my native language, and whether English or Japanese... it's all just foreign languages anyway. So I don't see a banefit to watching dubbed. Sure I'd understand what's said, but it's really not that hard to read subtitles. In fact, information tends to stick better for me when I read it rather than hear about it, so I only see benefits for myself with subtitles.

  • On Lemmy, do you take note of the upvote/downvote ratio before clicking on a link, commenting, or voting yourself?

    Jump

  • I discover posts usually exclusively through my notifications, where upvotes and downvotes aren't displayed. And I don't look at them until after I've decided what to do with the post.

  • Is there any way to get the infinite scrolling like on reddit?

    Jump

  • Infinite Scrolling is an anti-pattern meant to get you addicted, that's probably why the Lemmy devs didn't include it. You might want to look into alternate frontends for Lemmy. I have no experience with them, but they might have the feature.

    I'm using Mbin, where Infinite Scrolling is an optional setting that is turned off by default but can be turned on even logged out via the sidebar. So if this is a feature you need, and no alternative Lemmy frontend provides it, consider switching to Mbin.

  • We are trying to grow a new FOSS collaboration community.

    Jump

  • No, what I meant was, I tried to investigate why it doesn't work, by doing the request myself. Webfinger is the endpoint used by instances to resolve a name@domain.tld address to an actual URL. And when I tried requesting that, I got a 403 Forbidden error from Cloudflare. Still getting the same result (both manually and on the instance, there's still nothing there too).

    Looking into it further, it seems Cloudflare presented me with a Javascript challenge. Which won't work without a browser. That's why it didn't work for my manual attempts, but federation would trip up there too unless the server was running Electron. Which makes no sense for a backend.

    I'm not sure if this is why it didn't work for the instance I'm using of course. It working for you suggests not everyone gets the challenge. But it is a likely reason it doesn't work for some of us. In the first place, this kind of anti automated access protection makes no sense on endpoints specifically meant to be accessed in an automated manner.

  • I can't seem to add that on the instance I'm using.

    When I try to manually do the webfinger lookup, I get 403 Forbidden from Cloudflare.

  • Why and how do you lemmyscroll(or fedi-interact in general)?

    Jump

  • I'm using Mbin, website only. I'm not an app person at all. Which is ironic, considering the instance I'm on was created as a pilot for the app iirc.

    Why Mbin? There's many reasons, but the most practically important one is that I can follow users, not just communities. This gives me a direct means to receive posts from Mastodon, unlike Lemmy users who have to rely on Mastodon posts mentioning a community explicitly. But Piefed does have that on their roadmap iirc, there's other reasons too why I prefer Mbin.

    Mbin lets me "loud" subscribe to communities and users, which means I get notified of any new posts by them. I don't know if Piefed and Lemmy have the same functionality, they probably do under a different name? Anyway, I usually "consume", for lack of a better word coming to mind, the fediverse only via the feed from my loud subscriptions. I rarely browse manually. For when I do, I have infinite scrolling disabled.

    One thing I like to do that isn't really possible as easily on Lemmy and Piefed is to check who upvoted and/or boosted my comments. It's really cool when I'm able to recognize someone. Helps the sense of community here too imo and makes people more memorable.

    PS: I can't remember if these posts in anyway get federated out to other platforms like mastodon or what not, but would still be interested in their respective answers too

    If asklemmy is followed from Mastodon, the post is federated. However how discoverable it is depends on whether Lemmy lets you attach hashtags (and whether you've done so).

  • Is it safe to use a non-gaming computer for light gaming?

    Jump

  • Check the system requirements for the game you want to play. If a PC meets or surpasses them, you're fine, regardless what kind of PC it is.

  • Came to Lemmy after the APIcolypse, got sick of the ragebait, went back to Reddit, got frustrated by the bots and monetization

    Jump

  • Most of this can be easily solved with one simple move.

    Profile Icon -> Settings -> Preferences -> Experience -> Default to old Reddit -> turn on

    • No ads in comments
    • No upvote notifications
    • No metrics
    • I thought they removed awards entirely

    Only thing it doesn't help with is the bot problem. I'm just assuming that everyone with a default username who hides their history is a bot, and anyone who hides their history in general isn't worth my time. I still run into bots over there way too often though.

    Edit: main disadvantage of doing this is that they removed private messages from Old Reddit.

  • If you got the power to change what gets popular on Reddit and what doesn't, what would you change?

    Jump

  • I'd make the fediverse popular. The only correct answer imo.

  • What is "FUD"?

    Jump

  • Even if it would have been quicker to look it up, this is nostupidquestions, not asklemmy. The post is valid here.

    There's also an implied second question here which imo is harder to answer with a search engine, which is why people use such acronyms like everyone knows them.

  • Why invent new stuff for this? AS2 has the location property and Place object, which imo should be used for this. It's not like the request here requires functionality not enabled by those.

  • Are there any good math puzzle sites or apps?

    Jump

  • The problems are designed for programmers, but Project Euler comes to mind.

  • Germany news: Childfree adults to pay more for elder care

    Jump

  • Probably because even with your solution, there would still be a need to increase the amount everyone has to pay. That's still a hard sell.

    By only making some people pay more, you're actually making it an easier sell because that limits the amount of people that will be upset because they personally will be affected. Those that aren't affected can be convinced with arguments.

  • Why does the common sense is to punish rape with death/torture?

    The death sentence is NOT common sense for anyone but monsters. Especially for rape.

    Castration is the most extreme option imo, and even that should only be used as a last resort if there's no other way to get the culprit to stop repeating the offence. There should definitely be prior efforts to correct their behavior via therapy or other measures before castration is considered.

  • Anti-AI fedi pact?

    Jump

  • And if users refuse to label them, then community mods have tools that help them detect and label them for the users.

    And another reason for me to dislike Piefed, I guess.

    There is no reliable way to detect AI use automatically, so these tools can't be a source of truth. But if they're not, what's even the point to them for moderation?

  • What does it mean when a social media is open source?

    Jump

  • Any Mbin instance lets you see people's upvotes too. Though they sadly don't show downvotes anymore.

  • Minecraft @lemmy.world

    Does anyone know of any interesting and unique #Minecraft "clones", like #VintageStory or even #Terraria (which is a bit far removed from Minecraft, but I'd count it for this question)? I do know of
