Bots wouldn’t have that many spelling and grammatical errors.

deleted by creator

Yes? An annoyance at worst

Yah. I wasn’t thinking of that as “privacy”, it’s kind of separate, but I can see related. But federating a delete shouldn’t be much more complicated than federating an add or edit. Mostly only an issue if an instance is defederated in between.

That seems pretty minor to me for less than a dozen images, but ok

I never thought of the right to be forgotten aspart of the right to privacy. They always seemed separate.

But technically federating a deletion shouldn’t be more complicated than federating an addition. It would make sense to have the option when deleting an account to nuke all posts as well. It might not be perfect if an instance is defederated in between, but it should be pretty good.

The first and third are just features that will almost certainly come eventually. No worries.

The second strikes me as a really strange expection for public social media. Social media is inherently not at all private. These are all public comments and posts intended for everyone in the world to read. If you have something you don’t want to be public, any social media is the last place to post it.

Mortonksalt linked to instructions.

They say you should be able to put the linked URI into your instance search and pull up the local version of the same post. That isn’t super clean, but it should work.

There isn’t a way to do exactly what you want.

Since you typically do this with your partner, the easiest solution would be for you both to be on the same instance. Then the gray chain link would work fine.

For other random people, use the colored federation star link. That goes to the home instance of the post.

Edit: as per mortonksalt
Another option is to paste the link to another instance into the search on yours. That should bring up the local instance version of the same post.

I don’t think it is. Loading multiple images in the body seems ideal.

I pay for:

• eMail, Cloud storage, VPN (Proton)
• Search (Kagi)
• Anything that takes away advertisements if I do. I loathe ads.

Absolutely not!

The attention based, advertisement business model is the “original sin” of the internet. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product. You are what’s being sold. It changes all the incentives for the site. It’s why social media and news media have become so toxic and polarizing.

It’s why Reddit has made every one of it’s unpopular decisions. It made them, to create a better product for it’s customers (advertisers), not because it makes a better experience for us. If we want the best site for us, we need to be the customer. That means we need to be the ones who pay for it.

This is absolutely, undeniably a bad idea.

Here’s the documentation.

When browsing the frontpage or a community, you can choose between the following sort types for posts:

• Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
• Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published
• New: Shows most recent posts first
• Old: Shows oldest posts first
• Most Comments: Shows posts with highest number of comments first
• New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they receive a new reply analogous to the sorting of traditional forums
• Top Day: Highest scoring posts during the last 24 hours
• Top Week: Highest scoring posts during the last 7 days
• Top Month: Highest scoring posts during the last 30 days
• Top Year: Highest scoring posts during the last 12 months
• Top All Time: Highest scoring posts during all time

I hate adds. I was using Neeva. Just switched to Kagi. After nearly 3 weeks, it looks like 300 searches/month will work for me. So $5 a month is fine.

Interesting. I’ve know of it as the pound symbol, but have never actually seen it used as such. I never put the two together.

Why does this matter? I’m not aware of any meaning # has, outside of sheet music.

That would be up to the admin of your host instance. Hypothetically they can ban you for any, or even no reason. There’s no software or rules preventing it.

So I would suggest making an account on the instance you want to post these photos to.
