    I started a sub that had 400k users and was around for 10 years. /r/functionalprint

    After I made it read only, admins they just up and gave it to some rando mod that had no experience in that sub at all.
    So it doesn’t surprise me the mods of a lot of subs have absolutely NO experience in the subs they are modding.

    Screw Reddit.

    There are a ton of dangerous 3D printing happening. Especially people doing shit that’s pressurized.

      That was my favorite sub, and I’m really sad it didn’t take off on lemmy. I noticed it was back up on Reddit a few weeks ago and I thought about messaging you to ask if you put it back or reddit gave it to someone else. Fuck reddit.

      I was a subscriber to your sub. I didn’t see it here on Lemmy as another poster mentioned. Is it still around here? I’ll join.

          You can link it for everyone like this: !functionalprint@kbin.social

          Example clickable link this [email protected]

                I went to lemmy to see what it looks like. I can see the link.

                Yeah, on Kbin (web interface), it’s not link.

                  Test

                  !functionalprint

                  Yeah, typing in

                  [email protected]

                  just did the above. It’s removed the @kbin.social part, but still not a link on Kbin, even when I create it.

                  EDIT: Interesting, so I used italics so it would show what I actually typed it, and it’s a link on your lemmy, where when I typed it without italics, the @blahblahblah was removed by kbin

                Just a quick note that there’s no content on that link because that community hadn’t federated to that instance before. Any new content will, but old content doesn’t usually pull very far into the past.

                You already linked the lemmy.world link above, which has federated content, another example would be lemm.ee

                Typing in the link as I did above will create a link for each user that appears native to their instance, rather than sending them to lemmy.world, kbin.social or lemm.ee

                EDIT: I’m not entirely sure how to get this to work right on kbin if the above method isn’t working. If you have a suggestion or something different to try, would definitely love to make sure I’m linking in a way that works for the kbin users too!

      Do you comment this often? I swear I’ve read this before.

        It is a copy paste of the same reply I made to the post where 9to5mac.com talked about the same thing theverge.com did.

        I noticed a few people comment they didn’t know subs migrated/existed. So I replied here with the same thing, and sure enough other people again didn’t know the sub migrated/existed.

        People (including myself) are learning how this federating works. How the sub on kbin gets shown on other lemmy instances, and how those people in those instances can see/find the sub through their instance.

        I’m still wrapping my head around some comments not showing up, and how subscriptions work.

        And how the thumbnail picture and links work for some posts, and on some instances and doesn’t for others.

          Yeah, all of what you said resonates with me as well. Im having trouble understanding how to find content on other federated instances, the inability to edit comments, the lack of basic understanding and the doubt that lemmy can actually take off due to the learning curve required. If only people willing to learn end up here I guess that is positive though lol

      How the fuck do you pressurize a print? Do you just… Pressurize the enclosure? Surely not the hotend!

        Not during the print process.

        Making a print and putting air-pressure to it.

        Air fittings, paintball guns, actual guns, etc.

            Unless… you know how to do it. I’ve printed pressure stuff that held from 0 to over 20 bar, it’s all in knowing your materials and slicer settings. Many people don’t know how to make a print watertight in vase mode, so… 🤷

          Maybe some other mod then. I just checked the message log, no reason, no answer. Doesn’t matter now anyway.

    Why TF is The Verge reporting on an Ars article. I’ve already read the Ars article, so I thought this was further confirmation. Annoying…

    Imagine forcing the good mods that actually wanted to keep r*ddit from turning into a shit show to leave by getting rid of their 3rd party mod tools and expecting the replacements not to ruin everything.

      Are the first-party mod tools that bad? I wouldn’t be surprised seeing how bogged down the redesigned Reddit website is

        If the whole subreddit about saving 3rd party clients was to be believed, the first-party mod tools were pretty much useless, especially for those who are sight impaired. Though I can’t say for sure since I was never a mod and my memory of that subreddit is a bit fuzzy.
