Code should be self documenting.

I have replied to someone else further down with my opinion on this topic. I think it also fits in a reply to you, so I will just copy paste it here:
Yes, it might sound worrisome, but I dont think you are pushing authoritarian ideology by using Lemmy. The code itself is fine. The code is not authoritarian. The server which hosts your account is also not authoritarian.
Lemmy is, right now, the best alternative for a reddit-like platform. It is something created for the users, by the users. By using lemmy, you are not enriching the wallets of the shareholders. By using something like reddit, you provide content and a select few get to buy a new yacht.
Also, plenty of people are contributing code to lemmy. It is no longer just these 2. The code is also Open-Source. Anyone can fork it and create a new version of lemmy, with compatibility with the current version of lemmy. By using lemmy, you are allowing the possibility that, at any time in the future, someone else comes and says “I have some ideas to improve lemmy, let’s do this on my own terms”, forks it and continues the work without massively spliting the community.

I think this is bad for Lemmy as a whole, as a community but only due to misunderstanding and generalizations… People are going to equate the “censorship” on the server lemmy.ml as censorship on Lemmy, the platform/software. That is just NOT THE CASE. Please, whenever someone mentions lemmy.ml and its censorship or the likes, be fast to mention that that is a specific lemmy server and the beauty of lemmy is its decentralization and the fact that it is open source. There are plenty of other servers.
I fear that this kind of thing drives people away from Lemmy, when it should not.
I think education is still the missing link. We need to teach people fallacies, biases and some statistics.
I think lemmy should do what Lichess.org does, which is: Give an icon to donators/patrons. That is all, just an icon. It is surprisingly effective. For example, see this: https://lichess.org/@/thibault. The wing, before his username is the icon to which I am referring. it is visible site-wide.
You have to subscribe to the communities you want and then do “Subscribed” instead of “Local” or “All”. I don’t know of an easy way to mass subscribe though. The easier way is to click in “Communities” and search/subscribe those you want. You can search for communities in all instances there.
YES! But please don’t spoil. I am on the 4th book, Rythm of War, for many months now… I have read 50% but it just goes so slowly… The first and second book, The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance, are my favorite books ever. Wit is one of my favourite characters, just so quick and witty and mysterious…
This is a really good YSK. Thank you for posting!
It is working correctly now with the original config in all cases. Problem has been fixed. Thank you!
Yes… Switching VPN servers fixed the issue for me. @sunaurus@lemm.ee. The trouble I was seeing was on Mullvad Portugal server.

I have tested it on 3 browsers, one of which is incognito. I also tested it on 2 mobile browsers, one of which is incognito. Same thing in all cases.
Sorry, I should have done that. See this: https://imgur.com/a/tJuih4U
EDIT: I have tested it on 3 browsers, one of which saves no cookies/history… I doubt it is cache related? EDIT2: Tested also on 2 different mobile browsers. Same issue.
Slightly off-topic: Can you guys access lemm.ee? It looks all messed up on my end… @sunaurus@lemm.ee
Why are you moderating so many communities though? I checked your profile. You are moderating like 60 communities. Power trip much?
You are moderating both “Democrat” and “Republican”… lol…
And you are not even building the communities, you just created them with the sole purpose of being the mod.
It should work in Boost. The new version fixes that. Give it a try.
