Fwiw I upvoted you, bc you added to the conversation. Lemmings do be cray cray tho. We are judgemental bishes for sho. :-P
I've used that mouse before - it's called a "marble mouse" for anyone trying to look it up - and I absolutely adore it. It's relatively cheap, like $19 USD, so perhaps better exists but it's so simple and basic, and perhaps most important of all, SUPER easy to clean - you just pop out the ball, rub on your shirt or some cloth, and pop it right back in, the whole procedure takes 2 seconds. It's very well-designed in that way, making it a classic.
You are a lunar-tic! And I for one am here for it:-P.
Although I think the solar totalitarian authority figure would like to have a word with you...
Omg this is genuinely the most amazing font choice I've seen in any comic, like ever. Is it weird that this one has suddenly and instantly become my favorite (and I don't even know what it is - either font or comic:-)? It's not just that it's so readable, it's that it is so very welcoming.
I have nothing to do with PieFed, beyond liking it and so I joined the flagship instance as a regular user, which gives me only small insight into the day-to-day usage experience:-).
That said, the main developer has given several talks - e.g. this one and see also Rimu's YouTube channel.
All good points. I also don't know how much is cacheable, but regardless, how much of that actually is cached, vs. being sent again and again?
Separately from the per-page considerations, from what people are saying it seems like a great deal of unnecessary info is sent along with each and every post that could be delayed until the user decides that they actually do want the additional info to make it worthwhile to pull in from the backend.
Yes some apps may also be lightweight, and perhaps PieFed could do a comparison with them as well, but to some degree that's an apples to oranges comparison (hehe, yet both are different kinds of fruits! and one may indeed find themselves in a position needing to choose between them at a grocery/market:-), seeing as how a web based UI needs to run in multiple browsers yet conversely runs from any OS.
If leptos also ends up being lightweight then it could be compared to PieFed at that time in that regard. Though atm all that PieFed can compare itself against are things available to be tested. And perhaps leptos will borrow a few tricks from PieFed by that time, or even if providing an entirely independent execution, could solve some of the same issues. Do you know if leptos is supposed to share that feature of being lightweight, or were you just saying that it will exist at some point?
Haha I think it is fully proper to ask every valid question like this - and in particular, like we see happen with PieFed all the time, and also Tesseract, someone could legitimately modify their particular instance in unusual ways that aren't committed to the common codebase yet (awaiting review, or potentially confusing, or cause trouble integrating with new upcoming features also trying to be committed?:-).
And I wasn't sure if my answer was appropriate or not - like if you saw it and knew already but you meant something totally different but then I completely missed, so thank you for your honesty bc it does make me feel better that I wasn't being a complete dolt here.
As for missing that feature... hehe I did as well, and this despite my first experiences with the Fediverse having been Kbin for MONTHS until it imploded:-(. It really does look very much like a broken image icon, and that's just a poor design decision on the part of Kbin's creator, imho. That said it's quite a useful feature, and I used it quite often - many times per day and even per hour. And still forgot all about it!?!?!:-P (it just looks that much like the broken image icon!!!! we don't even question it, OF COURSE that's what it is - what else could it possibly beâŒïžâïž)
So yeah, thanks for your bravery (in like not merely deleting your prior comment, or you probably really could have brow-beat me into submission here with technical jargon) - it only makes me respect you more you know. As for others who choose to feel the opposite, that's on them:-D.
I used the raw data from this table, which is the 3rd entry in this post. It's been a minute since I did the calculation but I think I did something like take the >4Mb of data for 20 posts that Lemmy does and compare to PieFed which:
The PieFed home page, showing 5x more posts than Lemmy, weighs between 700 and 930 KB, depending on which posts are shown. In low bandwidth mode, the home page is only 220 KB due to not having any thumbnails.
So despite showing 5x more posts, it still requires <1/5th the data? That's >25 more data required per post by Lemmy than PieFed, i.e. the latter is a much more "lightweight" client.
Edit: but if you think there is a mistake here, I'd love to hear it?
Interesting, yes I see that too.
Going to https://moist.catsweat.com/m/world@lemmy.world and searching for this post, I don't even have to go into the post, but as usual clicking on the embed link (double window icon) expands the content just below the post. And as you say it immediately starts playing, not waiting to be asked to do so with another button press as is usually the case.
So I should edit my OP about Mbin.
And the same goes for communities too. Unlike Reddit, people here (like me:-) continually browse by "All", and will find posts as they come out, plus there are communities literally dedicated to letting people know what communities are out there.
Counterpoint: mods here are doing heroic work by holding up all of Lemmy, even though (reportedly? I am not a mod here myself) the mod tools here suck ass, especially across instances. It can't be an easy job.
It's also unpaid labor, and exposes them to things like CSAM or other nastiness that I for one would not want to have to wade through. Sure, nobody is perfect, yet if OP wants to volunteer then let them, but why the shade at these unpaid volunteers donating their time to keep us all happy?
(1) it works in Mbin though. I would expect it to work also in Tesseract, though the comment string still has not federated yet - perhaps the user is blocked for some reason, or all these numerous federation issues by most non-LW instances have prevented it.
Yes admittedly the Mbin embed is a bit strange, that looks vaguely somewhat like the "broken link" icon that shows up in Lemmy or PieFed, but it's actually not - that double-window looking icon is a signal for content that you can play directly inside of Mbin without having to leave it to go to a 3rd-party site. So click it, and it will bring up the entire YouTube video right there in-line.
That double-icon is also accessible while still browsing posts, so really you don't even have to go inside the full post in order to see it, e.g. you can see the double-window icon somewhat to the bottom left (though to the right of the preview area) of the page at https://fedia.io/search?q=Silent+Hill+2%3A+Enhanced+Edition+-+THE+FINAL+UPDATE+-+Update+Video+%2310+-+YouTube, just to the left of "Comments Boost More", down below the username "chloyster". Clicking it expands the preview just below the listing of the post.
(2) Here is a positive example where a YouTube embed works on PieFed. Based on my test here, it does not seem to work in comments, but it does for posts?
And here is another one that works on dubvee.org: https://dubvee.org/post/dubvee.org/1873840.
Due to federation weirdness, the former post is not available on dubvee.org, and the latter one is not available on piefed, but anyway you can see that individually, those two platforms both are able to embed YouTube videos. At least, for posts, again not comments.
I believe this post describes when it was added to Tesseract, so somewhat recently (one month).
And Mbin works too - you have to click the double-window icon to get it to show, but when you do, it reveals the preview and you can play the YouTube video right there without having to leave the site. Here is the former example, and here is the latter example.
These features may have to go through extra hoops as you are saying, yet they "just work" so that the user can enjoy that extra functionality without having to sweat the details.:-)
Oh yes, definitely. BlueSky has a "bridge", whereas the ActivityPub Protocol is a full federation protocol. The user-based, Twitter/X-like Mastodon, the user-based FaceBook-like Friendica, and the thread-based Lemmy + others all use it. Which you probably wouldn't need to care about, since you would just call the API (except for PieFed, that's not currently an option b/c it does not exist yet).
Much of what I am saying here is not really "actionable" atm - though it might affect how you "structure" your code, e.g. making function calls to use the API rather than do it in-line?
Although another reason that I mentioned PieFed was to point to its large & growing list of features that people kept saying that they wanted to see in Lemmy, but never seem to get added to Lemmy, although PieFed already has them (yet lacks many of the more basic, foundational features, oddly enough).
A powerful example is categories of communities - like I don't have to go individually to !fediverse@lemmy.world and !fediverse@lemmy.zip and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !fedigrow@lemm.ee and !loops@lemmy.world etc., and can instead just visit https://piefed.social/topic/fediverse and see posts from all of these communities at once. That has been present in some apps - though I don't know which ones - for a long time now.
And another is hashtags, which have worked so well elsewhere e.g. in Mastodon, and we'd love to see them add additional functionality to Lemmy too. Here is an example that uses both - although the hashtags don't do much there since the vast majority of "Lemmy"/Threadiverse users do not use PieFed.
The webpage OP linked says "We're not accepting new users at this time.", so it's not surprising. They need additional instances to take on the burden of actually hosting the content, as they continue the software development.
Both the OP and this test seem to work on Mbin (I tried fedia.io, without an account).
OP also works on Tesseract at dubvee.org, but this entire comment chain fails to show up so I dunno about YouTube embeds - probably more federation woes:-(.
But it does not work on any Lemmy instance I've tried.
Edit: nor PieFed.
I know, that's why I included so many caveats. However, it is coming to you, eventually. Well, then again, perhaps not you - your instance software version is very much behind:-). Perhaps when you find some additional admins to help, the software will be updated, and then you won't feel so left behind, when news ads can start auto-playing for you too? :-D (edit: unless you use an app I suppose, and in that case... I have no idea what would happen, probably depends on the app)
I mentioned in my comment (whoops, and your reply is how I found out that I linked to the wrong post on lemm.ee as my initial example) about this link: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2676.
8 months ago the admins of Lemmy.World (which has ~80% of all Lemmy users on it) strongly hinted that in the future they may consider leaving Lemmy and moving to a different codebase (for, let's just say "reasons"). Their hope was Sublinks, however ever since that project has basically died off, yet PieFed has surged forward in its place.
So I am not trying to tell you what to do, just offering that wider perspective. Especially since I noticed that your account was only a month old so you may not know the entire history behind Lemmy, and thus find it more surprising when such an event as mentioned above may transpire "suddenly" and "without warning" - except that there are signs, and have been since the beginning. Phrased another way: is your hope to keep "Lemmy" alive - the Lemmy that was written by the codebase developers who consistently advocate for genocide of Western people (especially landlords) and upheaval via violent means of Western civilization, while simultaneously denying that genocide has ever taken place in certain formerly communist nations (including Russia, China, and North Korea), and also being against "capitalism", even while ignoring how some of their favorite nations are themselves capitalist? (again, e.g. Russia)?
Or is your goal to keep the spirt of the free & open source software "Fediverse" alive? The latter also includes Mbin and PieFed (and perhaps one day Sublinks if it ever resurrects from its apparent demise), all of which interact with "Lemmy" as in what most of us try to avoid calling the "Threadiverse", despite how that name predated Meta's "Threads" service and more accurately describes the threaded conversational nature of what we do here. So just to have a single name to call it, mostly we call it "Lemmy", but it's not Lemmy, it's also Mbin and PieFed, and one day perhaps other things too, which uses the identical ActivityPub Protocol to share its messages with users on Lemmy. Case in point, I switched above from my first reply being from my old Lemmy account on Discuss.Online and ever since have been using PieFed - but did you even notice? :-P "Lemmy" and "the Threadiverse" have become somewhat synonymous in our usage of terminology, though they are different, and yet they are also the same.
Again, do as you please ofc, but I hope this discussion might have helped!:-)
DYK that Lemmy now auto-plays videos WITH SOUND?!?
Here is an example link (edit: I originally had this example link, which also has the issue but then does not match the same posting as the other links below so the first one would have been better). Apologies in advance that the content of this video is political, but you can pause it immediately and not watch if you prefer yet still see the effect.
Caveats:
- on most desktop browsers I have tried the auto-play is blocked; however in Firefox on Android it auto-plays with sound. For me, (edit: whoops what happened to the word "Chrome") shows the video embed yet pauses it, properly refusing to allow it to play unless I hit the giant Play button in the center. It has been too long but this may not be standard behavior for Chrome, although I did confirm this effect on 2 different devices from different manufacturers (yet if I made any configuration changes in the past to block auto-playing videos, I definitely would have done it to both:-P).
- Lemmy.World users are safe for now, as too are users on sh.itjust.works, both presumably b/c they are instances not yet running the latest Lemmy code - though note that that just means that it is coming for you eventually, even if not quite here yet
- none of PieFed,
Mbin(edit: apparently this one does too, after a fashion, read in comments below), or Tesseract auto-play videos either, or as I mentioned seemingly any Lemmy instance prior to 0.19.6, though e.g. viewing this post from lemm.ee, the 3rd largest Lemmy instance, auto-plays it. Others that auto-play it include view this post from Discuss.Online, view this post from StarTrek.Website. - Edit: an interesting wrinkle, sometimes when you click the link directly, the video does not auto-play (most desktop situations seem this way, and some mobile devices too). But if you navigate to that post more naturally, e.g. click the link to the community first, then find the post (although note in this case that there are many posts describing this situation, e.g. have the word "ceasefire" in them) and click the link to it (or just hit the back button), then the video does auto-play.
This troubles me. Once again this kind of opt-out behavior offered "for my convenience" reminds me of some other place... although even Reddit offers the option to stop the auto-play feature (except for ads I suppose), whereas I see no such option in Lemmy (the closest would be "Auto expand media", which I have set to OFF). The number of places - like Netflix - that offers these kinds of âwell ackshually these are not ads you see b/c..." really is off-putting to me.
The more you know I suppose.
If PieFed had an API I would say to check it out, as many of us are looking to it as the future. It is extremely lightweight, requires sending ~25-fold less data per post, already has most of the heaviest requested features that Lemmy lacks (categories of communities, hashtags, showing of the community and instance data alongside - after - each post, labeling of users, e.g. newly created accounts, private voting, ability to democratize moderation e.g. a user can choose to auto-hide posts based on a downvote counter, allowing moderators to be looser in the strict decision to remove vs. not remove content, etc.), and much more. Like Mbin, it is another implementation of the ActivityPub Protocol that federates with Lemmy while not being Lemmy itself.
The caveat is that its web UI is horrible (lacks user tagging, many notifications don't actually take you to where it intends, replies aren't done in-line but on a separate page and then afterwards doesn't return you to where you were but to a generic view of the post whereupon you may have to dig through the complex navigation all over again to find where you were before, and most damning of all, it lacks a Preview feature so you may have to do all of that multiple times to get a post to look right, like a link or image embed).
But, as I mentioned, it lacks an API. So unless you wanted to make one first and do a more full-stack than front-end project, that makes it a nonstarter no matter how awesome and a perfect fit the idea would have been otherwise. I did want to mention it though, just in case, and also to plant the seed in your mind that perhaps when an API is available it would be awesome to be able to switch to PieFed or Lemmy (or Mbin?) rather than be locked solely into just "Lemmy". Especially if Lemmy.World switches to PieFed let's say 1-3 years from now, bc that one instance holds ~80% of all the users on it.
So... check it out!:-)
Turning it off breaks everything across the entire OS.

Hey Fedizens, what are we now?
Mbin in the last six months doubled their number of comments being sent out across the wider Fediverse. PieFed is making strides forward all the time. Sublinks hasn't seemed to keep up, but Lemmy.World has floated the idea of potentially moving to it at some point.
So we are not all just "Lemmy" anymore. Though "Fediverse" seems far too broad a term, when it can include such diverse aspects as PixelFed (like Instagram) as well as Mbin or Xhitter as well as Lemmy or PieFed or Sublinks - see e.g. A lot of good stuff is happening in the fediverses!
So people have taken to calling us the "Threadiverse". Tbf that name predated Mark Zuckerberg's "Threads", but still that name now seems tainted by it? Though otherwise accurate & precisely descriptive as it emphasizes how people talk in topic-based conversations, rather than the user-focused approach of Mastodon and Xhitter.
So what I do (when I don't say that we are on the Fediverse) is simply list out all the possibilities - Lemmy, Mbin, PieFed, and soon Sublinks - though that gets cumbersome. Or maybe there's a new term that we could use? @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com mentioned:
> most people think of microblogging when they hear "Fediverse". Maybe "Nestedverse" or "Forumverse"?
Or I suppose we could say "Threadiverse except don't worry we specifically exclude Threads", whenever we talk about ourselves, especially to mainstream people (who don't use Arch btw!:-P) e.g. to people on Reddit. (oh who am I kidding, ofc I mean @blaze@feddit.org, who regularly tries to attract new users to here and deserves some kind of award like "Ambassador of Lemmy" - oh and there we go again, just what the heck are we!?:-P)
Also, it is up to each instance whether they want to specifically exclude threads.net or not - and one could in theory not do that, so that whenever threads.net decides to turn on its federation it would absolutely flood that instance with content, drowning out the source from Lemmy (or WHATEVER we are!:-D).
So it can all get so complicated - what would help simplify it? Just call it "Lemmy" and leave it at that? Unless Lemmy.World moves to Sublinks, that is where >80% of the userbase lies and therefore much of the content is coming from atm. Or "Fediverse" even if that is too broad? Or "Threadiverse" even though that's a loaded word now? Or something new? (ngl, I kinda REALLY like "Forumverse")
People will call it whatever they want ofc - I intended this to be a silly & fun question to provoke us into thinking about it:-). Especially since I'm posting to Lemmy from PieFed - which is fucking beautiful that none of those details actually matters and we all can just share the content and enjoy it, together!:-D
How do I block users from an instance of my choice?
I keep seeing people ask for this. There are basically only two ways, neither of which are terribly easy unless you are willing to switch to a Lemmy alternative and then it can be a breeze with just a couple of button clicks.
First, note that on base Lemmy, it basically cannot be done, short of either spinning up your own instance or trying to do some advanced programming with spamblock filtering rules (that is likely to mess up the pages in some way). There is a related feature though - in User -> Settings -> Blocks -> scroll waaay down -> Block instance - except that unlike blocking a community or a user, this does not actually "block an instance", and instead merely (& misleadingly?) hides the communities on those instances. You will still see comments from those users, they can still downvote you, and ping your notifications, etc.
About the only thing the above approach offers beyond blocking those communities individually is that if ever new communities were to be made from those instances, they would be automatically hidden from your account. So not all that helpful imho.
(1) Use an App
I have heard that the Sync and Connect apps (+ maybe others?) offer this, as well as a plethora of other features. Note that Voyager does not work for this - it is the same type of blocking as mentioned above.
Check them out? If anyone wants to supplement this section, please submit a post to this community to help people who want to know! (and/or at least add it in the comments here)
(2) Lemmy Alternatives
What I do use is PieFed.social, which in addition to this feature also offers several other advancements not currently available in Lemmy such as Categories of Communities that makes finding additional content a breeze (though overall it is not as feature-rich or easy to use as base Lemmy; and yet its choice to use Python rather than Rust should help it to catch up extremely quickly, plus the admins are extraordinarily responsive to deal with any issues).
To block all users from a PieFed instance, the easiest way is to start from a user on that instance, click their account, then click More -> Block everyone from [instance_name]. Or you could go to a page with the instance name in the url, like https://piefed.social/instance/lemmy.ml and just click "Block everyone from [instance_name]" there.
PieFed also offers additional opportunities in-between blocking trolls vs. not doing so: accounts that meet certain criteria levels will have icons placed next to the account name, so that you can still see their content (rather than have it automatically removed) but not have to spend as much time parsing it as you would something that is more likely to have been offered in good faith.
Mbin likewise offers Categories, and cross-connection with Mastodon. Overall I find that whole style confusing - e.g. "communities" become "magazines", downvotes become "reduces", upvotes are both "favorites" and also upvotes exist too that are entirely separate from that, plus you can see who offers favorites, but only from other Mbin/Kbin users and you cannot see the same for reduces. Though if you want Mastodon integration with Lemmy in one account, this is definitely the way to go (b/c it's the only one that does both:-). From @nictophilia@fedia.io:
> It's not anywhere in the settings at all, lol. Like a hidden option. You have to go to the url https://fedia.io/d/[instance_domain_name], like https://fedia.io/d/lemmy.ml. Then it will give you the ability to block, and that block will be reflected in your settings page.
Edit: according to @DarkThoughts@fedia.io, this does not actually work:-(.
Either of these alternatives should make you quite happy with the result!:-)
(3) Honorable mention: relying upon an instance admin
As a normal user, not an admin yourself, you cannot implement a custom block of users from any specified instance. However, you can either ask your current admins to implement such a block for you (would need the support of the entire community on that instance ofc), or move your account to one that has already done so?
The only instances I've ever heard of that block the big-3 (lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, and lemmy.ml) are:
- lemmy.cafe - has very welcoming messages, including a link guiding new users to this community!:-)
- Tesseract on dubvee.org - extremely impressive, if not for everyone, but definitely worth a look
- quokk.au
The caveat to all of these is that each is a single-admin instance. Those of us who recall the story of e.g. Kbin.social (or dmv.social or so many others) know how worrisome that can be in that it could vanish overnight with little to no warning. Then again, unlike Kbin.social, they seem quite healthy for now - definitely worth at least taking a look?
Bug report: themes get lost/forgotten on Android Firefox
I have enjoyed PieFed much more from my desktop and I finally figured out why: the theme keeps disappearing, leaving blank white text that is harder to read.
Starting fresh (restarting my mobile device, force-quitting the Firefox app, and loading it again), and starting from the homepage at https://piefed.social, clicking most links will cause the theme to be discarded. On mobile Firefox though not mobile Chrome, nor various desktop browsers. I am using Firefox version 132.0, last updated October 21, 2024, and Android version 14, and this effect has persisted I think since I made my account here last week. Firefox mobile seems an important target for our FOSS userbase:-).
The themes affected include PieFed and Card Shadow, though Hercules 1982 seems unaffected (I did not test that one as extensively). The button links I tried visiting included: the homepage (again, even if already on it), any post, any community, my Account->View profile, the "more communities" button, etc. - even the "back" button, after force-quitting the App and restarting it again. Always the text would switch from blue to white. Reloading the page does not help - only force-quitting the app and restarting it will restore functionality, until a link is clicked that is. Even after the theme is discarded, opening a link in a new tab will restore it to work - only in the new tab ofc, not the old one.
I hope this report helps PieFed to improve!:-)
suggestion: disable the option to "Retrieve a post from the original server"
I gather that it had a use unrelated to Lemmy but for Lemmy posts I make a case here that it is more misleading than helpful. For a moment, please ignore the underlying reasons why things are the way they are and focus on how the issue presents to the end-users.
(1) By pulling in solely the post, but not any of the comments, it at best provides only partial information - which if all you wanted to read was the post, then why bother pulling it here at all? (as opposed to retrieving from its original location - I mean, to do it you already need the full URL...) While if instead you wanted all of the comments... - e.g. to be able to reply to - then too bad, b/c it won't do that?
(2) It also does not pull in any of the old vote counts. So if hypothetically a post had 1000 upvotes, and then after pulling it here it received adjustments +2 from upvotes and -4 from downvotes, then its total would then be 998, right? Except PieFed would instead display "-2", a qualitatively different score for a highly popular post that is a terrible misrepresentation of the actual facts about it.
(3) It conveys a distorted view of things to the end-users. e.g. see !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com where there are 6 posts from the last 2 months, right? Right?! No, there is actually only a single post there in its entirety, then a few more that I and what I assume was Blaze pulled in - note how those other 5 have zero comments, and total scores near zero, due to the aforementioned issues. Really the "earliest" post that PieFed.social reliably has from that community is from 4 days ago, and then beyond that is a scattered, partial mess. There are actually MANY more posts from the last two months, which are not represented here. Ergo, the initial impression that a quick glance at this community offers turns out to be false, due to these federation issues.
(4) showing only partial information is often called a "false positive" or type I style of error, whereas showing nothing at all for those posts that are not fully here avoids that pitfall. If certain content is not here then... well it is not here, and that's that, but for only some of it to be here leads to much confusion, imho.
Almost entirely distinct from this issue, the ability to find an existing post given its URL should be added to the search menu, b/c that is where people will go to find it. But ofc all the more so if the retrieval button is removed or made less prominent, so that that find ability is not lost along with that.
I understand that there are hard limitations of the federated model itself. So if e.g. older comments and votes cannot retroactively be pulled in - or possibly even if so - then maybe this function should just be abolished? Or perhaps a couple more layers of "are you sure you want to do this?" added, or better yet moving it from its prominent place showing up to everyone on almost every page to a more subdued location where only those who know what it is and what will happen if it is used are likely to access it? I now feel that I actively made the situation in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com worse by pulling in those posts, and wished now that I hadn't done so, as it could lead people astray into thinking "this is all the posts that the community has to offer from this time-period" (NO, it actually has MANY MANY more than that, on the original server!?!!). Now that I know this I can refrain from using it, but it would be nice to help others who climb this ladder after me as well:-). So I am sharing my thoughts with you in case that helps.
PieFed is freaking awesome and you all who work on it are magnificently extraordinary to share your knowledge with the world:-).
there is something wrong with federation of posts
See e.g. https://piefed.social/communities?search=forward - there are 2 communities listed there, both go to the same place if you click them, and that place has no posts from the last 3 days.
It almost looks like the existence of the second version of that community - changed mere seconds ago at the time of my writing this, except again, when you click the link it doesn't show anything new for several days - is soaking up all the new posts, but since it is inaccessible by the normal means those new entities cannot be accessed.
This is my favorite spot in the Fediverse, so I hope it is addressed soon! That community in particular is doing great work to make the Fediverse fun & welcoming to come to by all us nerds:-).
