I would if I could. I cringe every time I see my handle at the top of the homepage.
@tom@feddit.uk Could you un-feature my post now please? :)
also @juniper on lemmy.world

I’m repeating myself cos I said this in another thread but the pending subscriptions should still be showing posts in your feed when you select subscribed at the top, at least they do for me and someone else confirmed it was the case for them too. The pending is a visual glitch - I think.
I’d been thinking about this because of the missing sub. Technically not UK news but there were UK citizens onboard.
Thank you for making this post. I saw it happen and found it very concerning. I didn’t feel capable to address it myself so I am very glad someone else has raised the issue. I would like to hope that the vast majority (should be everyone but evidently not with what’s happened) of our instance will be in agreeance that transphobia is absolutely not something we want to be associated with here. @tom@feddit.uk Please deal with this.
Definitely some federation issues. I ended up creating an account on both instances because so much stuff is missing when you view each instance from within the other.
I’m truly sorry you’ve had this experience here. I saw your post and I saw how quickly it got locked. I also saw how you handled the situation in the other thread where they debated with you back and forth. I won’t pretend to be hugely knowledgable regarding the issues that the trans community face and that is on me, I need to educate myself. I just want to add that I think Tom may be on holiday at present and it might be that he isn’t sure how to respond to you. However, that’s not an excuse and I do think that the community should have been locked down at the very least. It’s unfortunate timing that an instance was created, it’s grown extremely quickly in numbers, and the lead admin is not able to give full attention to pressing issues like this. I hope a resolution can be reached soon.
As far as I know, it’s a visual glitch and you are actually subscribed. Posts made to these communities should still be showing up in your main feed when you select ‘subscribed’ - At least that was the case for me with my pending ones.
I don’t know how to do it, but there is a way to lock your community to ‘mod-only’. This stops posts being created which is probably for the best if you don’t intend to be here at all to oversee anything. As I understand it, Lemmy is currently at huge risk of an influx of bot accounts / it’s already happening. Tom has added email verification to register with our instance but anyone on the whole Fediverse can still come here and post / comment whatever they want. If things start getting posted to your community and you aren’t here to deal with it, is Tom supposed to do it for you? Definitely best to lock it imo :)
UKcasual on lemmy.world has 2.33k subs. You’ll see a different number depending on which instance you view it from. To see the true number, you need to view it at the source instance.
Agree. What use is it to make a community and then leave with no intention of moderating it and leaving open to who knows what. Potentially creating a lot of strife for Tom if something goes wrong. You’re only as strong as your weakest link, and all that. It’s 100% the mindset of “I don’t actually care about this community that I’ve chosen to make but I didn’t want anybody else to make it. If you’re lucky I’ll come back one day”. Eye roll.
I’m not sure. Sometimes, even if you post a comment without specifically selecting English beforehand, Lemmy autodetects it and puts English. To be honest with you I haven’t managed to get my head around it. The language settings all seem very convoluted to me.
Things are definitely a bit wonky. Between federation issues and the fact that the language settings are so convoluted I’m surprised anyone is seeing anything!
There’s two settings, one for ‘Interface Language’ and one for ‘Languages’ underneath. I think Interface Language needs setting to ‘Browser Default’. Underneath is the Languages list. You should be able to click on Undetermined, then scroll down to English, hold down Ctrl and click that too. If there are any other languages that you want to see, hold down Ctrl and click those as well - for example selecting German should allow you to see posts/comments which have been written in German. Each time you select one, it should turn blue. Then scroll down and click Save - above the Delete Account button
Finally. Utter scum.
Just seen your post from feddit.uk :) I do agree though, I have an account on feddit and on lemmy.world and when I view the same communities from both accounts I see a totally different number of comments or no comments at all / some posts don’t show up / whatever. There’s definitely some issues going on here and there.
Just another nail in their coffin. Wankers, the lot of ‘em.
I’ve always known it as secondary school
Same here, it gets unbearable - I sympathise with you. We have roof windows and last summer during the heatwave I think we touched 36°c inside. I’m dreading what might be to come this year. On the flip side in winter it was 8°c at times…Swings and roundabouts, right?
Morning everyone. It has indeed rained! Had a good heavy shower yesterday evening. Today is a day of housework and food shopping now that it’s a bit cooler. Starting the week in a relatively positive mood - hopefully that continues!
No problem :)
