    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.

              Are you using an app or the web interface? It works on Lemmy, maybe it doesn’t work on kbin?

              Here is what it looks like on Lemmy: https://fry.gs/comment/116299

                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

                  !functionalprint@kbin.social

                  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!

        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

        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… 🤷

        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.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
