Just an update: I was given moderation rights to this community, and I started by updating the sidebar a bit. I didn’t put too much thought into it tho, so suggestions are still more than welcome!

My thinking is that if it were some kind of connection problem, things would be slow all the time. Everything works just fine after the initial wait of 10-30 seconds.

I’ve been thinking a bit. Not so many people are reporting the same issue so maybe it’s related to the number of subscribed communities I have or something else like that? I have quite a few subscriptions actually. The problem seems to only occur when logged in, so that would support that theory. But it’s difficult to pinpoint the issue as I need to wait at least a couple of hours for it to be slow again.

If there’s any additional information that I can provide that might help in debugging this, I’m happy to help.

I too had multiple 504 Gateway Timeouts earlier today and the status page showed intermittent downtime for Lemmy. Seems to be stable now. I’m thinking maybe that was a different problem and not related (directly at least) to the issue I’ve been experiencing for months now.

This became my phone background image. Super cool art.

I have never tried surfing but I’d very likely end up like that person in the background

As long as you’re able-bodied, knowing how to swim. I don’t mean mastering the perfect technique or anything like that, just being able to not drown after falling into deep water and being capable of moving yourself forward in the water using any style.

For me the site’s performance has generally been fine, it’s just the first load of the home feed that takes a long time every time.

Why do you think it’s odd to be posted here? Surely many users of this community will enjoy the sight of barefoot women and this happens to be a large collection of such images. I’m still not sure tho why these images are in Commons in the first place.

It’s up to each app developer whether they wanna use the new API. According to the docs linked in this thread, each app needs to ask the user separately which option they prefer (so as of right now, there isn’t a system wide option for it).

So it’s not very clear to me why that option exists, even as a developer setting. Maybe Android itself uses it for its UI, but it’s still in the testing phase? Someone who has their phone set to one of those gendered languages could test it to see if changing the setting actually changes anything.

Even if most of the time they might not benefit anyone, it takes like 30 seconds tops to add one so why wouldn’t we. They can also be easily generated with AI, one of the actually useful use cases for it.

At first glance I was like is this some horrible gore art where someone has pushed a knife through the poor thing. Good thing it’s not that!

For anyone like me who doesn’t know their Pokemon: It’s Gardevoir, they have a fin like horn on their chest and back.

Crossposts exist for a reason, and having the same post shared in a couple of communities doesn’t clutter up the feed too much, imo. But there’s a limit where it starts to become spammy.

I love nipple piercings. Very hot

Thanks for this. My phone is in Finnish and that option has been incorrectly translated (“Kieliopillinen suku” ≈ “Grammatical family”, but family as in your relatives) and when I noticed it I wondered what that hell that meant and google didn’t help. Makes sense now.

Oh man, that was 12 years ago already

Socks are like a gift wrap for the main treat. And some say that removing the wrapping is the best part…

Depends who you ask I guess, but at least Tor isn’t illegal there, is it?

Running a Tor relay, even an exit node, is not illegal in most jurisdictions. However, exit node operators may receive a large number of abuse reports and legal threats, which they must properly answer to avoid further trouble and that’s why it’s not recommended for the individuals to run an exit node.

For those living under authoritarian regimes where Tor might be illegal, the risks are obviously significantly greater.

Not really, as long as you don’t run an exit node
