Firefox@lemmy.ml•#experiment tagging @mozilla @mozilla to see if this post shows up on #lemmy .English
4·2 years agoNot quite. An upvote on Lemmy is a favorite on mastodon. However, all posts on Lemmy look like they are a “boost” by the community when viewing from mastodon.

151·2 years agoGood stuff! Thanks for all that you guys do for Lemmy and the open internet
Doing good! Really happy with where I’m at in life currently.
I don’t go out of my way to get news, so social media/Lemmy. Except for local news, which I do follow more closely. But that’s it.

Wisconsin@midwest.social•UW-Milwaukee announces closure of Waukesha campus in 2025, citing declining enrollmentEnglish
2·2 years agoAbsolute Bullshit. The closure of the branch campuses, which bring the UW to rural Wisconsin, is a failure on the state and on the Universities of Wisconsin (formerly UW System). Thousands of students across wisconsin would not get the life-changing, fulfilling, career-opening education they fucking deserve if all of these branch campuses close.
What is next after the rest of the UW branch campuses close? Bye-bye UW Parkside? UW Superior? UW Platteville?
We can fund these colleges, we just haven’t been. It is about god-damn time that our legislature has a spine and promises to fund these colleges, and to re-open the closed ones, for the future. While you’re at it, make tuition free at these colleges. The state has more than enough money. Help those who need it.

Technology@lemmy.world•It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime SubscriptionEnglish
142·2 years agoI have never used amazon, much less paid for a subscription service for the pleasure of using it. I was hoping that the author atleast stopped using amazon alltogether. Ah well. Little victories I guess.

OpenStreetMap community@lemmy.ml•Is there a free, idiot-friendly way to export a custom area of the map as a PNG/JPEG in other styles than on the offical website?English
2·2 years agoThere’s a way to embed a map in the article itself. See
page for information on how to do that.
Otherwise I am unaware of a tool that allows for a PNG or SVG export or OSM data.

6·2 years agoThey go to nearly everyone.
If I on instance a report a post on instance b made by a user on instance c, all three instances’ admins will receive the report, as well as the community on instance b.
It’s kind of a mess, and definitely overkill.

11·2 years agoThat thread was posted by a user, not an admin. So it wasn’t official in any capacity. We’re still federated!
