Interesting. Could be they’ve never interacted with Lemmy then. I just tried to pull up George Takei’s Mastodon account from Lemmy, and no results. (@georgetakei). I vaguely recall searching for another user in the past (months ago), and they did come up in search. Unless I’m just doing it wrong (always a possibility).
It’s not really ideal, but I’m not sure if it can be improved considering the radically different structure of each platform.
Yeah. I don’t know what changes would need to be made to Lemmy to support following users. There is a person_follow table in the DB, though, so maybe the framework is there but incomplete?
That’s what I’ve noticed. At one point, I recall being able to at least search for a Mastodon user from Lemmy and have them come up in search results (no posts and couldn’t follow). I just spot checked that, and it doesn’t seem to do that anymore. I know little about Mastodon so can’t even speculate which side the problem may be on.
I tried a few of the federated magazine links they listed, but I can’t resolve them in Lemmy. I know Lemmy doesn’t do person follows (yet?), so if that’s how they’re presented, that makes sense.
I was absolutely hoping for a sequel to that (in a series that has never done a sequel lol).
In Case You Haven't Seen the EpisodeI hope they answer the lingering question on whether Jimmy Simpson is still burning up in the plasma injectors without being able to die.
I always wondered why spacecraft couldn’t be wrapped in magnetic coils (with the pressurized volume like the center of a solenoid) to duplicate the effects of Earth’s magnetic field. Looks like it is possible but was not practical until recently.
Yeah, they borrowed a lot from Trek lore, but thankfully they seem to have left the “badmiral” trope in the cutting room with the transporters. Both of which I appreciate they omitted.
The first time I watched through The Orville, every time one of the admirals was on screen, I was like, “What’s your angle?” and just generally distrustful. Even Victor Garber, you might ask? Especially Victor Garber.
If you’re using Ublock Origin, disable that for your home lemmy instance.
I have a custom rule you can add to prevent that from happening (in lieu of disabling UBO), but it’s on my other computer. I can update post with that later.
