Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

Thanks, that did help somewhat. However, it’s still a bit ambiguous with ‘add a node at the center of the fuel station…’ not being clear if that means the building or the pumps or the entire property. (I’ve seen it all three different ways on OSM), and, of course, it then goes onto say “or create a way around the fueling area.” The term ‘fueling area’ makes me think it may mean the pumps? That’s not all that clear again, and I’ve seen it different ways. I suppose both are okay then, but I was thinking there would be some accepted consistent way to do this. Likewise, for the convenience store it gives both the option of adding a node in the middle of the building and marking that as the convenience store or mark the building itself as the a convenience store.

Sounds like all those options are okay. I suppose I was just being a bit too pernickety about it and wanting there to be a perfectly consistent way to do this.

Adding lots of missing bicycle paths, lanes, and designated routes in my area as well as all of the missing buildings. And fixing all kinds of little mistakes.

You can still have your new separate gmail account for the new device, and add the gmail account that purchased OSMAnd+ on your new device at the same time. Then, simply open the play store, change accounts in the top right corner, and install the paid for app.

Yup, that’s the same one I use as well.

WTF, I ain’t watching an hour long video on a stupid fridge! I’ll just watch the first few minutes and see what’s up…

…

One hour later…

Okay, that was really interesting. I really love this channel.

TIL the Technology Connections guy is on Lemmy via Mastadon.

And that’s awesome!

That’s awful, but perhaps better than stuck for hours or days inside of a dead, dark, cold submarine at the bottom of the ocean as the oxygen slowly runs out.

Today, a bunch of new instances appeared in the top of the user count list. It appears that these instances are all being bombarded by bot sign-ups.

Yup, I noticed this as well.

Hopefully the mods of the instances will notice this and remove these accounts quickly! Despite this, I think the mods of all instances, and of all communities, had better brace themselves for incoming spam and hate speech.

Isn’t Radio Sputnik Russian state media?

Yes.

This isn’t news, it’s propaganda, and is misleading to say the least. And the person that posted it is new to Lemmy with a 5 day old account. Probably just a troll.

This:

Article summarized by AI below

and this:

The article argues that artificial intelligence (AI) is not a threat to humanity

is a rather funny juxtaposition of statements. Of course, an evil AI that was a threat to humanity would summarize the article that way!

Hahah, that’s awesome. And probably the people who wanted things to stay as normal will begin to get annoyed at all the wolves being posted and maybe go somewhere else.

The developer isn’t using the API. They’re scraping according to my question and their response to this above. However, the moderation question is a really good point. The easy workaround for this is just set every new community as ‘only moderators can post’ and then it’s just content read-only.

Use the search function in your instance, and you’ll likely have to click the ‘search’ button twice to bring it in. Put the original URL from the developer’s instance in the search, like this:

https://lemmit.online/c/IdiotsInCars

Then you should get a link for it.

You get the 404 because your instance doesn’t know about that community yet. It has to be made aware, and then connected to it via you doing the search.

I kinda get what you’re saying, but not really. Why would adding more content such as this lead to an instance wanting to defederate from that instance? There’s no users from Reddit there (and thus no comments from them) to troll, spam, or break the rules. It just adds posts.

Just to be clear, what if there is already a community on Lemmy that coincides with a subreddit? Will it make another community on your instance? Or will it use the existing community?

Yeah, for certain kinds of live conversations while involved in a group activity, it works fine. But only for that, in my opinion.

Yup, I agree wholeheartedly! It’s just not my thing.

I was a wee bit surprised (but not really, I guess) when just before the Reddit blackout everyone on Reddit was spamming their relevant Discord links for the relevant subreddit.

I could only think, “That’s no better!!”

We’ll see if that changes.

To add to that, Discord is an entirely different kind of interaction. Fine if that’s what you want, but not fine if you want something a bit more…static.

The auto-refreshing front page is very frustrating to use.

Sounds like that’s being fixed soon.
