no, there are currently no options to customize the viewing experience, such as custom css.

as others already mentioned, forcing light mode on people is generally not well received anyway.

trending communities are going away in the next release iirc due to the current implementation not really being useful.

as long as you’re logged in the option should always be shown.

we do however recommend messaging @[email protected] instead of specific admins: https://lemmy.world/post/17422981

I’ve checked our server logs and it seems to have been an issue with a timeout.

This might be something that is fixed once we update to a newer Lemmy version that performs metadata processing in the background instead of while receiving the post.

lemmy does not track post views, especially not via federation.

you could try bringing it up at [email protected] but i wouldn’t count on this becoming a feature.

technically, posts can be marked as viewed if this is not disabled by the user, which would be the closest thing possible, but there is also no time decay on that. this information is limited to users on the local instance, so this wouldn’t be that representative unless used on one of the larger instances.

we aren’t holding back on lemmy updates due to sublinks.

a moderator on another instance than the community instance

that was a logic flaw for the selection of which reports are considered for alerting. a fix is currently being deployed, but you should be good for the next 2 days anyway.

yes, but for admins, at least on LW scale, this isn’t something that is well usable for admins with built-in tools.

community mods and instance admins can see reports on the instance that reports are sent to, and they are currently only sent to the reporters instance, the community instance, and the reported users instance. community mods on another instance won’t see the reports.

which browser and OS are you using? i haven’t seen this yet with firefox, only not being logged in while it’s loading

it doesn’t work from the post listing, but if you go to the post directly the option should show up

This section is fully removed in the next Lemmy release: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2639

The animal abuse alleged at the time was that there was supposedly no healthy vegan cat food.

While the section of the rules was the same (violent content), animal abuse was a separate sentence, not the one about visual depictions:

No visual content depicting executions, murder, suicide, dismemberment, visible innards, excessive gore, or charred bodies. No content depicting, promoting or enabling animal abuse. No erotic or otherwise suggestive media or text content featuring depictions of rape, sexual assault, or non-consensual violence. All other violent content should be tagged NSFW.

This is the exact same paragraph we have today and we had before these changes.

If there was no healthy vegan cat food then this would be considered content enabling animal abuse.

The ToS had no rules on misinformation at the time.

it still had rules about animal abuse, which this misinformation, had it actually been misinformation, would have lead to. while the removal reason could have been more clear, the justification was still covered by our ToS.

new rules created to back their talking points

the additional rules provided more clarification on what we intend to achieve with them, but they would not be required. based on what we know today the removal was neither justified by the original ToS nor by the updated ones.

thanks, fixed on our end. i believe there was a change in one of the newer lemmy releases that should improve this if the activity of unfeaturing got lost somehow.

I never said that it only requires harm down the road.

Cutting body parts off or even just cutting them without good medical reason (e.g. risk of death without amputation) is of course also animal abuse.

For hiding pain, you’re attacking a strawman, because I already addressed that in my previous comment.

we do not consider feeding a cat vegan food as animal abuse, provided there are no health issues arising from this.

most of the research i’ve looked at seems to point out that there are various pitfalls, e.g. just feeding a cat vegetables will result in malnutrition. having synthetic additives for this can be one way to address that problem. just because something is sold as vegan cat food that doesn’t necessarily imply that it’s healthy for the cat, as some of the articles were pointing out that some of the cheaper ones were lacking the right ingredients.

as an example, “my cat now only gets potatoes and apples and nothing else” would be considered animal abuse.

additionally, if moderators were to remove arguments pointing out the risks of e.g. missing nutrients in a civil discussion and leaving the other side that just argues “vegan cat food works” without any arguments as is then we would also consider this animal abuse.

in this specific incident the conversation was certainly not civil, which is unfortunate, as this situation would likely have gone a very different way if it was.

either you don’t have “show bot accounts” disabled in your profile or you have discovered a lemmy bug. this account is marked as bot also when viewed from slrpnk.net. you most likely do not have show bot accounts disabled.

calling other people pedophiles is not trolling.

such allegations can be life-ruining and should not be done lightly.
