Oh yea, a stamp sheet makes a lot more sense. I have a busy few days ahead, but maybe someone else can throw something together faster than I can. Tools like Draw.io or Excalidraw should make it relatively easy :)

I’ll get to posting in the meantime

@blaze@lemmy.ca put together this list of ‘30 active communities which are not politics, news, memes or tech’: https://lemmy.ca/post/40160493

Otherwise you can also find communities that match your interests by checking https://lemmyverse.net/

Other tips here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/finding-communities

An idea for the future: having a bingo card for the graphic? Since people tend to click on posts that have thumbnails.

edit: a stamp card makes a lot more sense, see below

I think this could be a fun one to pin to the instance, so that people can comment and discuss their submissions :) Thanks for putting this together!

Looked at the article, and it starts off pretty stupid

While everyone else seems to be slugging H20 from 40-ounce Stanley tumblers, I have never understood the appeal of drinking plain, tasteless water all day.

Some people live in areas where the water tastes bad, but seeing the water as “boring” might mean that you’re drinking too much of the other stuff (soft drinks, juice, sugary etc). It’s not that those other things are not hydrating, but they’re unhealthy for other reasons.

The question feels more pressing than ever given rising temperatures, heat waves

I refuse to normalize a world where people lack access to clean drinking water. 😠

The rest of the article is pretty standard advice. There’s no set amount of water that everyone needs to drink, and your diet/lifestyle/body composition/the weather will all play a role. Going based on thirst is a good indicator, but make sure you actually drink water when you’re thirsty. !hydrohomies@lemmy.ml

But using that to justify unequal access to clean drinking water is a big no.

What is the justification for rolling disclosure? That seems like a very obvious problem for this kind of a report

The above methodological concerns, however, are amplified by a rhetorical concern, obscured by what one might call the CASE report’s “rolling disclosure” — an opaque process by which the report’s findings are slowly and partially revealed over time, rather than all at once. This complicates the ability for readers to scrutinize the report’s raw data, as well as its author’s interpretation of that data.

When the CASE report was first released on Aug. 5, it exclusively highlighted the experience of Zionist Jewish respondents, while making zero reference to the experience of those anti-Zionist students who participated in the survey.

In stark contrast, amongst anti-Zionist Jewish respondents, a whopping 92 per cent said their campuses were safe and inclusive for Jewish students. In the National Post column, the authors try to write off the anti-Zionist data as a “psychological or social” phenomenon rooted in “a desire for social acceptance.”

The reality seems much simpler: Zionist Jewish students conflate hostility towards Israel with hostility towards Jews, whereas anti-Zionist Jewish students do not.

I added a comment with a source that I found that has some of that context

I added a comment with the source confirming that the incident was real, and the person’s name was collected by the police

Which is great, but it’s not always convenient.

For example, this article

how do you handle backups without making it a second job?

Shouldn’t this be automatic once it is set up?

The heat part is harder to deal with. Some computers are more power efficient than others

You can find some resources on this website, organized by location, along with phone numbers for the various shelters and services: https://211ontario.ca/211-topics/homelessness/homeless-shelters/

If you would like to post about this, please post it again in !canada@lemmy.ca or !ontario@lemmy.ca, or a similar community. This one is intended for discussion about the instance, and we will be removing this post as a result

The admins here? Or do you mean reddit

I was referring to here

Possibly Colorado, I found this

https://platform.openmeet.net/groups/conifer-fosstech-and-lug-tkueen

The link isn’t loading for me with the additional trackers. Can you replace it with the cleaned link?

https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2026/08/19/roblox-argues-child-waived-rights-by-clicking-box-at-age-8/91290604007/

Please report them, this is a clearcut case that admins can take care of.

We don’t have any magic technology here to block all bots, but we do get rid of them when they are found

It sounds like they are OK with people using the tool, but he wants them to be mindful of how its being used.

But if you’re my colleague and we’re in a Slack discussion and you post a wall of Claude output, then I’m afraid I received a different message than you intended.

The same is true for people’s newsletters and social content. It’s your name on it; are you proud of the prose and weird AI-isms sprinkled throughout it? If so, great. But I can ask Claude directly if I wanted to.

TLDR: Take responsibility for what you send to people, and don’t just ask a chatbot and blindly share the output

I didn’t know about it until I stumbled across that issue. After playing around with it, it is a possible solution but I think we would need the lemmit admins to make that change in order for it to work.

What I’ve learned:

• right now it can be toggled by admins with a CLI command, after Lemmy v1 it will be known as unlisted and it will become a part of the main community visibility settings (public, unlisted, localonlypublic, localonlyprivate, private): https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/crates/db_schema_file/src/enums.rs#L130
• when it is enabled, only users that are subscribed and logged in can see the posts. For everyone else, you can only see the community info and post contents if you get a direct link to it

Since it is a property of the community, trying to override it on our end might lead to federation issues because of the ambiguity.

I’d like to second recursive_recursion, your feedback is still just as appreciated :)

I will test out the hiding option and see if I can come up with a compromise that people will agree with. The general sentiment in this thread seems to be that we should not simply refederate.

I will note that since that previous discussion, Lemmy has improved the functionality that lets an individual user block entire instances. So users that don’t want to see this content can block everything by adding lemmit.online to the block list in the user settings.

It might also be possible for us to hide the communities from public feeds, so only subscribed users will see the communities and associated content. We need to explore that some more: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2943#issuecomment-1581485335

• EDIT: I’ve looked into it some more, tldr it might work if lemmit admins make the change on their end: https://lemmy.ca/post/69414850/24859618

I do agree with this reasoning

can use lemmy.ca as my main site with links off to reddit on occassion I don’t need to use reddit anymore to browse but just drop in for a specific post of interest.

When users are migrating off of old social media platforms, letting them see everything from one app reduces a lot of friction. Especially with Reddit taking steps to keep users locked in to their app (ex. Blocking logged out users, limiting old.reddit.com, killing the RSS feeds).

We’ve seen a lot of “mirror content from elsewhere” sites, and lemmit.online was one of the better organized cases. Every post makes it very clear that the post is a mirror / archive, so no one should mistake the bot for a real user looking for help. For example: https://lemmit.online/post/8699035
