Is there any plan to port some information over such as popular emitters / buying guides?

Probably. One thing Lemmy doesn't have is a wiki, but some of those things work as regular posts.

There's a sidebar and it works much like it does on old.reddit.

I took several pictures of a flashlight. This is just to test uploading multiple images to one comment because a BST thread would benefit from that.

There's Mlem (iOS) and Jerboa (Android), but they're not very mature and the web interface seems like the way to go right now.

It's reopened as restricted with a poll about what to do next.

I have both v2 and v3 of the M200. V2 was a light I was happy to recommend to others looking for a certain feature set; v3 with the Nichia 519A is one of my favorite flashlights.

Come by /c/flashlight!

To clarify, it must be one image, which the Lemmy software will crop automatically. If we use this image, the desktop banner will be cropped like this (which may be acceptable, just to make sure you understand).

Meta thread: reply to this comment to discuss the contest. Post only submissions as top-level comments.

I think people are concerned because both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are operated by the Lemmy developers. At a minimum, that means I'd prefer to avoid communities based on lemmy.ml and favor servers with less spicy admins.

There is, however a popular idea that software tends to reflect the values of its authors. Mastodon seems to be "Twitter for nice people" or thereabouts. If Lemmy is "Reddit for militant communists", that's a problem for attracting an audience beyond militant communists because most people don't want to talk to them.

If you're trying to find communities, you'd use the communities page or search function. You can filter both to only local (on this server) or all (any server this one hasn't blocked).

The settings page lets you select which languages you see. I think posts and communities that are set to a language you haven't selected aren't shown, so if you have Undetermined, German, and English selected, a post or community that's marked as being in French is hidden. That could be a little confusing I suppose - maybe the language filter should be disabled by default.

You don't have to create a separate account to participate.

If you click the "News" and "My User" links above, they open content from beehaw.org and reckless.dev inside whatever Lemmy server you're curerntly using. Your account is on lemmy.world, so I'm assuming that's where you're browsing. Note the first URL becomes https://lemmy.world/c/news@beehaw.org.

Now view this post on beehaw.org and look at News link. It's https://beehaw.org/c/news@beehaw.org instead.

This post is about how to format links to communities and accounts so they're transformed that way.

I also have this issue. The post is about 36K characters long, which is under Lemmy's supposed 50K limit. So far, I've only tried it on desktop Firefox.
