Does plus addresses help circumvent that? I think most email providers supports plus addressing (also known as sub-addressing). You can add plus sign and any string before the at sign. For example: youremail+lemmyaccount1@email.com. The string between plus and at signs can be anything, and all these addresses points to your normal inbox with the added benefit that you can filter them into different folders.

PS. Lemmy version 0.18.2 was released today. It fixes the vulnerability and has some other improvements as well.

Also be wary when using apps and especially when enabling push notifications. Lemmy API currently lacks any kind of support for partial access to an account (unless this has changed recently). So, apps cannot, for example, get read only access to your account's inbox. Apps can get either no access or full access. When you sign up for push notifications, an authentication token is stored to the push notification server which gives full access to your account to who ever happens to get their hand on that token. If there, for example, happens to be a security vulnerability on the push notification server, it might leak those tokens.

If you have enabled push notifications on some Lemmy app, and want to invalidate the token, you can just change your password.

Here's a post by Memmy for Lemmy's developer about push notifications: https://lemmy.ml/post/1534493

As far as I know Lemmy stores only text locally and images and such will be linked to the external instance. Text doesn't use much disk space, so that shouldn't be a big a problem. Sometimes when you browse Lemmy, you notice posts that have broken links to images. It's because the other instance is down, but you can still see the text portion of the posts on your home instance.

There's also pornlemmy.com. You don't need to be logged in to view posts and there's no anime/hentai or aigen stuff.

 

A new beta of Mlem for Lemmy was released on 2023-07-02. Among many other improvements, it has greatly improved VoiceOver support. But there are also the following known issues:

  • Large posts will prevent scrolling by using left and right gestures with VoiceOver
  • Unable to navigate to a community from a post with VoiceOver

You can read all the details from their announcement post.

You can download the update from TestFlight. Remember that there are two separate TestFlight betas. The first ended when there was a change in the development team and won't be updated anymore. If you are in that beta, you need to join the new beta to get the new update.

That list won't show which instances have block the home instance. The blocked list lists only the instances the home instance has blocked, not the other way around.

It’s not a feature of Lemmy and, I guess, no-one has wanted to create it for their app. You should submit this idea to the Lemmy developers so it will eventually be a feature in every app.

I managed to visit when the server was 0.18.1-rc. I didn’t see any posts and the selector for Subscribed, Local and All was “empty”, as in nothing was selected and I could not select anything.

Maybe, but how many of them are by bots?

Let’s just all agree that some prefers Kbin’s interface and others like Lemmy.

Random fact of the day: The hard thing at one end of a banana is not a seed, the tiny dark speckles throughout a banana are seeds.

Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.

There are currently no Kbin apps because Kbin doesn't have an API yet.
