No settings page (as far as I’m aware), but you can use the API to get everything (posts, comments, etc):

step 1: get login token -

curl --request POST \
     --url https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "username_or_email": "2br02b",
  "password": "YOUR-PASSWORD"
}
'

step 2: use login token (big long string starting with ‘ey’) to get data -

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user?username=2br02b&page=1' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR-JWT'

Increment page number until you have everything. source: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_user

Voyager has a setting for “No subscribed in All/Local” that does this. It’s better on than off, obviously, but it doesn’t turn All or Local into some kind of goldmine.

I get the sense that, unless you’re willing to do it yourself, feature requests for Lemmy don’t have much chance of being realised.

Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn’t then duplicated to 50 other servers … yeah, I don’t see how that can work.

(I’m just kidding - your site looks neat.)

A meme made in response (not by me):

Manual approval isn’t the only alternative to Open Registration - the main one involves requiring an email address, and/or solving a captcha

Suggested setting: give up after X number of days if no real person from that instance subscribes. Whoever added the community is free to try again.

Just to say, I massively prefer the name ‘microblogmemes’ over ‘whitepeopletwitter’. That was always a weird one - posts didn’t always involve white people, didn’t always come from Twitter (which - technically - doesn’t even exist anymore) and seemed based on a petty misunderstanding of what Black People Twitter was.

FWIW, I agree with you about the Denny’s post. I’m also the moderator of a community that Stamets has quit, so I know that losing him is a blow, because he posts a lot of content. But I also know that he’s a complicated human.

Star Wars is interesting in that it’s a big franchise IP that isn’t an adaption of a book or comic

I’m surprised this doesn’t clobber your existing subscriptions - I assume LASIM is smart enough to add the ‘followed’ list to what is already ‘followed’ rather than replace it?
