!dungeonmeshi@ani.social for the discussion threads on each episode.

Latest version also has an instance explorer, that lets you open other instances in that same "view all" view.

Select "instances" in search, or long press a post from another instance>instance>visit instance.

@MrSoup@lemmy.zip

Yep.

This also means that different people who post the same thing to different communities have their posts show up as "linked" allowing people to find all the places people are talking about something.

It mostly works with youtube videos and articles though. With images you have to make sure to use the same image link.

I can feel my IQ slipping. Sweet sweet ignorance, embrace me.

I only rarely host media on my instance itself. Catbox lets me control exactly what the file is, as the file is not subjected to any post-upload conversions.

But many instances will actually grab a copy of the image and cache thumbnails at various resolutions.

Thunder's current version actually attempts to load the instance cached versions of images, though this has unintentionally left it unable to load and display the source file.

In the future, the plan is to make this configurable, to allow users to set an image size they'd like Thunder to request from the instance cache instead of loading full images every time, allowing for faster browsing and conserved bandwidth.

Chobits? Is that you?

Hmmm.

I don't really have series I'm ashamed of liking. Perhaps one's I know are trash... I try not to be a weeb in the company of most people, in order to respect their disinterest, but I don't have anything that makes we wish I'd disappear if people found out.

I watched everything there was of Freezing, for the sole reason that HanaKana VAs a character that is thirsty as hell, which is somewhat embarrassing.

Ah. A fellow leg man.

It's genuinely a fun series.

Noticing the same. Sopuli seems to have recovered, and is now syncing up, though slowly.

Votes and really new posts and comments are still out of sync. As of writing this, my comment made on this post, using my sopuli account, still isn't on lemmy.world.

@Stamets@lemmy.world

Sopuli is having a federation issue, where outgoing data is failing to federate. You can post to the communities there, but content is failing to federate to other instances out from sopuli, meaning almost no-one is getting to see sopuli-related posts and comments. (Only sopuli and whatever instance the content originates at, few others)

This post currently has triple the votes over on sopuli, and a comment by me from my sopuli account, all of which aren't syncing back to lemmy.world

Because I want to keep the title contents minimal. I initially didn't even include the artists in the title, but only plopped a link in the body, but I changed that as most people won't check the body text.

If I'm including any untranslated details, it'll be in the post body. If its inclusion is in case someone needs to use it as a search term, it doesn't need to be in the title for someone just scrolling by.

They do still make good games, but that's despite squenix.

You're right. But the logic for which method to go with is up to google translate, for now.

I'll have to look into other ways to access translation in python.

It really depends. Handle and usernames aren't even the same thing anymore, and especially on pixiv, I've noticed artists changing the display name on a regular basis, even though pixiv doesn't even have handles to fall back on if a user gets confused.

The script primarily pulls the artist name from either saucenao or pixiv, and either translates or romanises it. It's nice to see something pronounceable, because unless you can read the moon runes, there is no real way to commit the artists name to memory. So while the original string is more searchable, it almost completely loses recognizability on a platform with english-speaking users.

I actually want people to find these artists, seeing multiple works and realizing you like something a certain person makes, is what eventually gets people to look them up, I feel.

But, I could improve the script further by having it include the pixiv artist ID and twitter handle in cleartext when those sources are available, etc.

Haha, no, the artist goes by "Hand", though the WIP script I'm using to post, translated that from japanese and inserted it into the artist field of the title string.

Thanks for contributing!

I'm making an effort to keep the "moe" communities and a couple others alive, relevant cross-posts are always welcome.

Would love this over on !streetmoe@ani.social, though do note the AI ratio rule over there :D.

You'd think, but the amount of people who "save" pictures on their phones by taking a screenshot that they then don't ever crop, is disturbing.

No. Faith isn't a virtue. People voluntarily deluding themselves, is offensive.

Sure, most people had this passed down to them, but there is no part of religion worthy of respect.

To believe in something which is not real, however seemingly innocuous, disconnects how a person makes decisions from the truth. When a person lives their life that way, they will cause unnecessary harm to themselves and others

Some instances are running on better servers than others, have staff that fix issues quicker and attend to updates sooner.

For example, .world is still on v18 while the rest of the threadiverse has mostly moved on to v19.

Some instances defederate certain other instances, so in some cases you might end up finding that a community you subbed to gets disappeared by the admins of your instance (lemmy.ml did this to ani.social a while back). Whether there are valid reasons goes case by case, sopuli.xyz for example blocks instances that are for porn, and I like it that way.

Though outward federation is a bit borked on there atm, so I'm using my alts...

But really, it doesn't matter that much. If the grass looks greener, you can hop over the fence and see for yourself, and then hop right back if it turns out it wasn't.
