GNOME and AppIndicator/system tray

Centralized User Management Like Plex for eBook Server
I’ve been trying out Kavita as an ebook software, and I really like it so far, with one exception. Accounts are all local to the app, and there is no ability handle user accounts through their site, similar to how Plex does it. This means that every time I screw up and have to set up again over the years, my users will have to...

Why can't I see the discussion comments in a lemmy thread?
For some reason, I can’t see most of the discussion comments of posts but only a fraction - maybe 10% or less. What might be the reason? adblocks?

I want to run a command and see all of its output on the left hand side, while simultaneously searching/grepping for particular lines on the right hand side. In other words, I want a temporary vertically split screen in my CLI, ideally with scrollback on each side of the split, but where I expect the left hand side to be...

Horse people of Lemmy- how easily can someone steal a random horse? (several questions)
I’m not experienced with horses. I know many are trained to work for just about anyone. They were used in wars and police still use horses this day and age for crowd control, so I guess they can stomach a bit of violence and chaos. But most domestic animals behave differently with people they’re familiar with vs random...

A question for the "vegan/communist" sphere of influence: is child adoption just not a thing?
I would be here all night if I asked the Lemmy crowd every question I had, but one thing that always has stood out to me is what’s on the tin.

PSA - Lemmy dropped 0.19, your instance may have some downtime
Please, before posting, we’ve seen a lot of these post saying X instance is down right now, or “is X instance down?”. The answer is probably, but it’s probably because Lemmy v0.19 dropped and it includes some downtime, upwards of an hour for all the migrations to finish....

Adblocks for TTV?
I just checked out Twitch again after a while and WOW has that site gotten shitty. But I’m trying to watch someone and really don’t want ads every few minutes. Instead of paying Bezos to remove half the ads, how can I configure my uBlock Origin to block them all for free?
