I just like to imagine that they were testing that down votes work still 😅

I’ll have to check if pictrs added some gif upload attributes to their settings. I think I remember seeing an option. I’ll try fixing this today!

Oddly enough, I think that’s supposed to not be set to anything. The way lemmy does language replies and filtering is kinda odd. If you set that to English, I think only people who have just English set can see or reply. Shrug

Testing image uploading with new picture update
- Comment on Random question for today: Considering people who are not amateurs, if you wanted to create increased visibility and participation in amateur radio, what would you do? 4 weeks ago:
Nice! I did the exact same thing. Remote exam in my bathroom. Congrats on the tech and general. If you plan on the extra, do it before you forget anything from the general because there’s a lot of carry over from the test.

Once the dead rat and blood wall were cleaned up, the stream really went down hill
- Comment on How ham radio endures - and remains a disaster lifeline - in the iPhone era 5 weeks ago:
It’s both. SK, Stop Keying, is used in CW (morse) whenever a station is done transmitting. SK is also Silent Key, but you’ll rarely hear the abbreviation over voice or CW.

- Comment on The ARRL elections this year are a sham 1 month ago:
Could be that ARRL was down then. All links work for me.
- Comment on The ARRL elections this year are a sham 1 month ago:
Yea in a community you only see the community info. The “official” sidebar is only on the main feed
- Comment on The ARRL elections this year are a sham 1 month ago:
What do you see and what link are you using?
- Comment on The ARRL elections this year are a sham 1 month ago:
The general sidebar has some links for how to get into amateur radio.
Not a lemmy dev so I’m not the go to on issues. I had that issue on Firefox though.
- Comment on The ARRL elections this year are a sham 1 month ago:
I feel like every year since I’ve been licensed and an ARRL member, I’ve become less enthused by the ARRL. To the point where this may be my last year as a member.
Also a thought: I use a few ARRL links in our side bar I wouldn’t mind changing to non-ARRL links. Open to suggestions.
- Comment on (incomplete plus downtime) lemmy.radio upgrading to 0.19.5 2 months ago:
In total, it’s not something I’m having an issue paying. I’m not a fan of talking about my personal life, but I did get laid off about 6 months ago so it is an expense for me, but I think something is just around the corner. Moving to a new place soon and have a job lined up that should help.
BUT… since you asked, and I don’t have any plans to put up a KoFi or whatever to ask for donations, our instance currently:
- linode server: $144/month
- .radio TLD: $30/year
- email $10/month
So not too bad, not great either. After I’ve moved and things settle down, my goal is to try to migrate our photos to AWS and downgrade us to a server that’s back at ~$75.
I appreciate the ask, but we’re good for now! I enjoy running this instance and seeing everyone use it.

I do enjoy my morserino-32. It was an educational experience to build and it has definitely helped my cw comprehension

Yea the language setting makes absolutely no sense to me. As for the messaging between mastadon and here: doesn’t work for me either. Maybe lemmy doesn’t correctly parse DMs from other services? It’s good at nesting messages but DMs may be something it doesn’t quite get yet.
- Comment on What's going on with our instance? 7 months ago:
So comments like lemmy.world/comment/9174951 seem to be federated and showing up. It might be slow to federate today as well. But yea, let’s see how the next few days go after this update.
- Comment on What's going on with our instance? 7 months ago:
Can you throw an example at me? I see your comments on other instances.
- Comment on What's going on with our instance? 7 months ago:
I can try the newest update soon, but it only updates how pictrs (the photo hosting service we use) stores photos in the database. If we’re having issues now, my first thought would be backed up federation or high usage.
Can you give me an example?

Could it be the language setting? lemmy.world/post/1617579
- Comment on (complete) lemmy.radio upgrading to 0.19.1 7 months ago:
I was trying to see if some setting may prevent it but didn’t see anything. Also spent some time looking at GitHub issues as well but nothing caught my eye. Not sure where to go about testing this.
- Comment on (complete) lemmy.radio upgrading to 0.19.1 7 months ago:
Hmmm not sure about the app. Does it work in browser?
- Comment on (complete) lemmy.radio upgrading to 0.19.1 7 months ago:
Maybe a cache thing? I’m seeing 2 comments on your post and both comments here. https://lemmy.radio/pictrs/image/d19618d0-1ec5-4c1c-9246-01469cd1ffd0.jpeg

Sorry to fill your post with test comments and upvotes, but I THINK federation seems to be working better? Testing from this post here: lemmy.world/post/13954037?scrollToComments=true
