Seems like the server was down for a bit (or there was packet loss mentioned above) earlier. I tried checking the Kbin and Matrix space for any updates on whether it was down for maintenance, but both also failed to load. Do the Lemmy, Kbin, and Matrix space all sit on the same box/server (such that an outage on one causes all three to go down), or could the issue have been on my end?
No worries!
Yea, the millennial bit was only for Gen Y 😅
Oo, someone from Feddit. I'm surprised that this meme spread as far as it did. Anyway, the (Millenials) was meant only for Gen Y, but it probably wasn't very clear in that image...

Ahh, okay! Cool to see you started up a Suwako place too, reminds me of that Cirno community someone here made
I did get some harassment from an account that I complained about, but I can't recall complaining about the mods ('cept when the eraTW post got removed without breaking any rules at the time it was posted). The mods were quite supportive at the time of Fusu-posting, actually, so that's pretty cool of them.
I didn't really care about the drama and, funnily enough, missed much of it. Life got busy shortly after it began, so I only learned about it sometime later.
Yea in general people like posts where the character talks to the viewer since it gives them something more to do beyond "Oh that art looks nice", so it's not surprising that it was popular.
For some reason I didn't receive a notification about this reply, but thanks for making the changes!
Thanks for taking the time to wrangle and update it, I think your updating of the banner text is definitely the right step.
For the 2 visitor UX changes that were generally supported (not auto-expanding NSFW posts and blurring thumbnails), I'm admittedly not familiar with Git myself. Based on the Github discussion of this, would changing both settings at the backend to "false" help to change the default/visitor view? If it's just changing these two settings, would that constitute a fork that needs long-term maintenance, or could it just be a one-and-done setting change?
If it's a fork that needs long-term maintenance, I'll try asking around and see if anyone has the necessary skills to maintain a UI fork with these two changes made. I do think it's important, it seems to be broadly supported based on the comments in discussions thus far, and the current problem seems to be a lack of capacity rather than will, so if that can be overcome, it may be possible to enact the changes.
After checking out Kbin for the first time, I think it's possible for me to use it as a post mirror as well. I don't think it'll do much in the way of driving engagement, but at least it'll fill it up with some content for the time being. Let me know if you think that'll be a helpful for Kbin.
