Can you pull up the networking tab and see if you are getting any failed requests or errors in the console?

Yes. There are a few bots out there. And I found writing one pretty simple. I wrote this wikibot a while back in Rust: https://codeberg.org/asudox/lemmy-wikibot-rs

Though the code sucked ass. Anyways, I am currently making an automoderation bot for Lemmy. You might struggle to find good documentation for the API though.

Can you perhaps provide more detail?

Mbin/Kbin is pretty nice, though it lacks mobile apps. I would switch to it if it had a few mobile apps, but we only have interstellar, which is pretty much alpha.

Try out SearXNG.

and a prompt that notifies users that WebP is better than GIF.

Why would they add this? As in like why would a DE do this?

I assume an account getting banned is the same as an account getting deleted?

Only if the administrator of the instance chooses to delete the content as well.

If they did, it will be the same as deleting the account with "Delete content" option set to true.

lmao I didn't even notice

Posteo is good. Have been using them for 2 years now.

The best way is to read the docs, read code and experiment yourself.

I'll try to answer them, though:

• It's hosted on instance A and B. Every instance creates a local copy.
• Your account gets deleted. If you want, you also can select to delete your content (images, posts, comments, etc.). But since this is the Fediverse, it is not guaranteed that your account and content is deleted everywhere.
• Iirc they do
• The existence of the instance itself won't increase load, but the users on it can.
• Your client asks your instance.

As far as I can see, no such request is sent. Probably a false positive.

Locking for rule 5.

Thunder has a "Delete Account" option in the account settings.

The permadelete_for_creator function (called by the purge_user_account function, which is called by the delete_user_account handler when delete content is true) updates every comment of the user to contain the predefined text "Permanently Deleted".

We really need to stop recommending LW.

Iirc there is one, hosted on Mastodon. But because of federation, you pretty much can call it here.

Insert an asterisk there.

I guarantee you, they'll go Bluesky if Twitter gets banned.
