  • Ah, you’re right, Connect is just for Android. Though I do remember hearing of an iOS Lemmy app that could block instances at a user level, but I’m sorry to say I don’t remember the name.

    That being said, I fully agree with you on relying on instance admins to defederate / block instances. I prefer to have the agency to choose for myself what gets blocked / not blocked. Though I can’t complain about my instance’s decisions so far, thankfully.

    I hope you find something that works for you.



  • Thanks for the additional info! Thankfully, it worked in ProtonPass 1st try and gave legit 2FA codes, without needing to change any further settings.

    I was aware that some authenticators run into errors with Lemmy for one reason or another, but that was forunately not the case here.










  • Guess I’m an outlier, compared to other commenters? I love languages, have learned French, Spanish and Latin, and currently learning Irish. Even a little of a language goes a long way to connecting with other people, be it family or strangers!

    But coding? I can never get into it, never really enjoyed it. I wish I could, the benefits are obvious, but it’s just not for me!



  • Apologies for necroposting, but this seemed like the right place to ask. I am a returning player, after having not played in many years.

    However, when I log in, I haven’t the first idea of what to do and my character is progressed enough that there are no walkthroughs / tutorials available to me.

    Is it possible to reset progress on my character, or start fresh without needing to create a new account entirely? Thanks for your help.

    I would love to see a change to either decimal or dozenal time! Though the time format we use now is just so well-established and for many, intuitive. Additionally, every country - or at least a vast majority - would need to adopt the change in time, or that would present even more issues (GPS, times zone travel, international meetings /zoom calls, etc.). Not impossible, but still a challenge.

    A feature of dozenal that I, too, appreciate is, as you say yourself, being divisible into both thirds and fourths of an hour neatly.

    Ah, maybe one day!

    This is really interesting! It reminds me of the time I was looking into (apologies if this is a little off-topic) the decimal clock, which broke the day into tenths. It was almost adopted in France a few hundred years ago, if I remember correctly.

    The advantage I can see in using the dozenal clock, however, is in expressing the time in dozenals (as in, as an analogue to decimals).

    For example, when using the standard notation; 20 mins would convert to 0.333… hours. However in dozenal, it would seem to convert to 0.4(I think?) Which is nicer to deal with than repeating numbers.



  • I’ve heard in another post on this topic that NewPipe scrapes the videos from YouTube, acting like a normal user, and presents you with the videos without ads. Supposedly, YouTube would find it very hard to block NewPipe’s method as a result.

    I use ReVanced, so I’m not so sure how safe I am. May have to move to NewPipe if we end up affected by this.
