apparently Backblaze Desktop doesn’t support Linux.

I haven’t tried it, but apparently if you do a mapped network drive in Windows then BackBlaze will let you back it up as normal.

There’s a double checkmark icon in the top right of the inbox screen, that should mark all as read

or will it stagnate and fade into obscurity like many other similar discussion boards?

well it wouldn’t really play out like that, if Lemmy gets overtaken by a replacement (like Mbin, Piefed, or Sublinks), it would be a transition not a death

a big thing we can look forwards to right now is if Pixelfed gets better support to interact with Lemmy/etc communities/groups then we can get a big boost in userbase, even if they aren’t using the Lemmy software we’ll still be seeing their posts and comments

I wish Mastodon would improve their compatibility with Lemmy too, but they don’t seem interested

So many specific interests still have very active forums dedicated to them, populated by the kind of people who want to ask queations aboht and discuss the things they have interest or expertise in

I hope these types of sites eventually switch off of software like phpBB and move to software like Lemmy/Mbin

Maybe someone should make a database migration tool so posts/comments/users can be retained

Lemmy will support it in the next release (0.19.6)

Flavors of markdown are slightly different, but they share a lot in common. Also Boost has slightly different rendering than the Lemmy website UI, specifically with the spoiler tags

the language is called “Markdown”, same as what Reddit and Discord use, as well as many others

might need this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4698

Use the website, it has an option to export your data to a file, and then import it. You don’t need any 3rd party apps or anything.

At least I see options for remove comment, ban user, and appoint as moderator

although there have been some bugs in Lemmy web UI after the recent update

OP is on lemmy.world, so still using v0.19.3 which doesn’t have the bug

Which features?

What changes does the app need? I think most of the things in v0.19.4 were backend?
