- Comment on "Subscribe pending" after importing into a new account 2 days ago:
This was a UI bug a while back, and it might still be present in cases like account imports. Maybe someone can make a bug report / GitHub issue about it
There is no other method from what I can tell. Until it’s fixed, I guess someone can write a script that does the same action to quickly go through your list and fix it

No problem, I’ve seen it happen a few times so I thought I’d ask 😄

Anyone can label themself as a bot in the Lemmy user settings, sometimes users do so mistakenly

Your comments are tagged as being from a bot, was that intentional for this joke lol
- Comment on Best tool for creating a basic business website 5 days ago:
I think you want a static site generator
We use Vitepress for fedecan.ca/en/
vitepress.dev/guide/getting-started
If you want to selfhost it, there is www.coolify.io , but imo you want something like GitHub pages/ Netlify since it’s for your business

- Comment on Trakt Upcoming VIP Renewal Pricing Changes – Effective May 20, 2025 5 days ago:
A 2x price increase (or more for people who are on discounted or grandfathered plans) will likely get people to reevaluate if they really need the service. Based on the comments so far, it looks like a lot of people already have dropped it

This comment gives a good summary, but in short it lets you track what movies and shows you’ve watched / want to watch
- Comment on Trakt Upcoming VIP Renewal Pricing Changes – Effective May 20, 2025 5 days ago:
It tracks watch history and allows you to build lists, in a way that should integrate with other services. How well it does that is questionable
Some people might still be using it out of habit or loyalty, but a $30 price jump might change that

- Comment on What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been using threadiverse, but I prefer forumverse
It’s immediately clear what it’s referring to, and it leaves it open to other compatible platforms once they implement activity pub nicely. Being able to subscribe and post to official support forums from the forumverse would be a cool promo point
Also people refer to many things as “threads”. Conversations, comment sections, discord has threads. Forum is much more clear

Or “aggressive”

It stopped doing that a few months back, but it still randomly asks every now and then. I wish Android could deny permanently

The autofill popup has always been unreliable for me on Android (with Bitwarden)
I use the quick settings tile most of the time instead

This is good feedback, I’ll note them down for the next set of changes
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s a mix of the two
Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world’s largest manufacturers.
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 4 weeks ago:
They’re disabling features
Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.
What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology’s press release suggests.

While it’s still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of “open source AI” are better than others
The OSI one is decent

The format of the post also looked similar to spam posts at first glance. A lot of them are pushing AI things
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 5 weeks ago:
This does happen with comments sometimes. I go into a post and someone has already eloquently said what I would have said (often better than I would have). So I upvote it and move along
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 5 weeks ago:
I think it could work great on a dating profile. It’s unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for the apps that require comments when liking
Maybe not as the first image, but anywhere else. Pair it with a witty caption

It looks like there are a number of reports on this post. If you could edit a tag into the title, such as

, that would probably make everyone happy
