minor PSA (bee-SA?): you should now be able to use the Blobbee emoji set under our emoji picker

we discovered this set the other day by olivvybee (Liv Asch), and obviously these are delightfully thematic for our instance. you should be able to find them in our emoji picker as follows. the emoji icon, at least on desktop, is the fourth from left smiley face on comment/post UI:

(https://www.creesch.com) lemmy really needs more validation !(https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/a74d7b4d-30db-4ddc-a321-32bba7f0f5d4.webp)

Edit: Should be fixed now as the code I created in the github issue is being tested now.

Beehaw's Demographics survey of June 2023!

Compiling this data was not as hard as I expected, let's go through the data and the shiny graphs!

Age of Beeple

!

Most are above 24! Seems we got an older average age compared to a lot of social media. It would be interesting to see how many came here with experiences from independent forums before Reddit.

Where Beeple reside

! !

This one's a big graph. Though we can notice most people are from the US. Would be nice to see more countries represented though a big part of it likely has to do with language. (You will need to open the big graph in another tab, it's too big to show properly.)

Gender identity of Beeple

!

So, as expected, mostly men. However, less than expected which is nice to see. There should be outreach to at least equalize this.

Sexual orientation of Beeple

!

This is kinda surprising. It seems we managed to get a lot more LGBTQ+ people than expected considering most of you all come from Reddit - so this is nice to see. This is most likely because of our focus on a safe space.

Whiteness of Beeple

!

As expected, mostly white which is unfortunate. I think there's outreach to be done in that regard as well.

Neurodivergence of Beeple

!

We seem to have a really surprising amount of neurodivergent people! Definitely nice to see.

Beeple with disabilities

!

I.. have no idea how to interpret this data so I'll just say, shiny graph.

Beeple's awareness of the Fediverse

!

Most knew about the fediverse but still a good 20% had not heard about it so glad to see you all managed to find your way here!

How Beeple have been dealing with Beehaw

! !

It seems most people feel relatively confident in their ability to use Beehaw and most people seem to enjoy it. That makes me really happy to see. Feels rewarding, feels good.

Conclusion

I wanna thank everyone for the feedback about the survey and its questions - we'll do better next time! I'm glad we did this survey because it shows the areas to work on in terms of outreach! Thank you all for your participation!

Sorting help link is broken

!

The "sorting help" link/button is broken and gives me following page, that does not exist: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/01-getting-started.html/docs/en/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

When I delete the first docs part, then the link works correctly as: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

Suggesting parents as a new community

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put this stuff 🤞but perhaps a parents channel where we can share tips, milestones and vent about life with chaotic tiny people in our lives. As an opening offer I bring my little one discovering grass for the first time. !

What's Beehaw's opinion on Facebook doing NDAed meetings with fedi admins/devs?

So, recently some fediverse admins (mostly Mastodon) and the founder of Mastodon, Eugen Rochko (Gargron), where contacted by Meta/Facebook for an NDA meeting. We know nothing about it, but we're pretty sure that it was about this project92 thing that Meta/Facebook is creating to "compete" with Twitter.

So a lot of Mastodon admins already singed a pact to immediately block any Meta/Facebook activity in the fediverse as soon as it comes up. My Mastodon instance, fosstodon.org hasn't singed that pact and I'm pretty worried.

The following image is an screenshot of Gargron and dansup (creator of Pixelfed) talking about this. These posts were deleted, even from the wayback machine.

Vertical images rotated when uploaded to beehaw via jerboa. What am I doing wrong?

I've tried editing the upload to !, but it's still rotated. Is there a faq or guide already posted about this that I missed?

Unable to access Beehaw with a VPN

Hi, I recently encountered this issue when trying to access the instance (both in the browser and Jerboa) while using a VPN. I don't know if this is just an issue with the one I'm using (Surfshark) but I didn't have this issue before. I imagine this security layer was implemented recently, and that's why it didn't happen before. Is this intended, or is it just the filter wrongly taking the VPNs IP as a malicious one?

Sharing in case others have the same problem. "Why don't I see the same posts when browsing a community from 2 different instances?"

I made a Style to make the browser a bit more desktop friendly

UserStyles Link: https://userstyles.world/style/10309/densify-for-lemmy

Not sure if this is the right community, but the narrowness of the default web page was driving me a little crazy. I still need to fix a few things (like vertically centering the votes) but I feel that this looks a lot better. If you have the Stylus browser add on, you should be able to add it pretty simply!
