Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn't care for. Ah well. I don't blame them of course, but reddit isn't something I'm going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.

Lemmy's "block" is essentially a "mute" function, too. It makes it so that you don't see any more content from a user, but they can still make comments on your stuff.

Officially Lemmy just calls them "communities", but I figure that you can call them "subs" because you subscribe to them.

On Lemmy, if a community on another server doesn't appear when you search for it, you can use the syntax "!communityname@server.name". Your login Lemmy server will then go out and index it and it will appear in the search a few moments later.
Is there a way to do that on kbin? I've tried every syntax for a Lemmy community that I know of and nothing seems to work.
!communityname@server.name
/c/communityname@server.name
server.name/c/communityname
@communityname@server.name
etc.

Just curious as to what everyone's using for MFA in their environments. Duo? Microsoft Authenticator? Okta? A jumble of different solutions depending on which system needed to be covered at the time and with no additional budget?
www.techrepublic.com
> Duo uses push notifications, time-based, one-time passwords, physical tokens and biometrics to verify the identity of users at login. Similarly, Microsoft Authenticator uses push notifications, one-time passcodes, and biometrics for authentication and can integrate with Microsoft 365 and Azure Active Directory. While both 2FA options share some similarities, there are still key differences that can sway your decision to choose one over the other.

Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do... nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it's done for the past several years.
Then again, I'm defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don't show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.

All of the main servers I've seen have a no porn rule. I suppose it's only a matter of time until someone's willing to stand up their own Lemmy porn server and take on the responsibility of moderating that.

Yeah I figure no need to discriminate at this point, anyone in the field of administering any IT systems is welcome here. If Lemmy really takes off and sometime down the road there seems a need for it we might establish rules for what's appropriate to post here vs. other tech subs, but I don't see the need for that now.

Yeah, my hope is that reddit is about to enter the "find out" phase. If they only stick to a 2 day blackout however (or snub it like the /r/sysadmin mods), things are going to get right back to status quo real quick unfortunately.

What do we think? Is IDG full of it? Is the industry trending toward DevOps? I suppose there's always the other options - hyper-specialize in a given technology, or move on to management. Or go start a goat farm or something.

I see it as a massively inflated sense of self worth on the mods' part. Yes, /r/sysadmin has been handy for keeping up to date with events in the IT world. Is it the only source of breaking news? Hell no.

Absolute shit take on their part, and a 2-day blackout is the least that they could do. Everyone's systems won't go down in flames because /r/sysadmin isn't there for people to whine about how they hate their jobs for a few days. If there's some major vulnerability being exploited on those days, mainstream news and other tech news sites will pick it up.
However, they're not entirely wrong on the first point. I remembered the 2015 blackout to protest the firing of Victoria the AMA admin and other stuff about Ellen Chao (honestly don't remember or care what it was all about), and it was huge. Most subreddits went dark. Reddit didn't hire Victoria back. If I recall there was a PR statement, and everyone moved on with their lives.
When I was searching for that I found that reddit has had a handful of other blackouts since - one about the SOPA bill (which I seem to recall), another about COVID (which I don't), etc. - and as far as I can tell the most that all of those blackouts ever did was generate press.
They're already at that point - reddit's tenuous situation with their devaluation and the API nonsense has been all over the news, from Ars Technica, to CNN and Reuters. And really I don't think it's going to change anything either. Reddit's going public, the stakeholders will have their say, and the site is going to be monitized and crapified, the users be damned.
But again, going dark for 2 days is, IMO, ethically required. For that matter, they should stay dark until reddit changes course.
Oh well, now we have Lemmy. :)
