Hey! This guy doesn’t know about the three seashells!
I think it’s just a desire to indicate some uncertainty about something (like - I’m not an expert, my opinion on whatever could change with time or new information). A full stop seems arrogant somehow.
I realise it’s not a good impulse and mostly resist. Mostly …
(that last one’s nothing to do with the above reasoning, it’s just a line from Aliens that’s stuck in my head).
You can set a gif’s FPS yeah. There’s an app called gif.ski that lets you play around with this - add a folder full of PNGs to it and render a gif. The lowest the UI lets you select for FPS is 1 - I made one and stuck it here so you can see what that looks like.
You can use the same tool on the command line if you want a half frame per second rate, e.g.:
gifski --output interesting.gif --fps 0.5 --quality 70 *.png
Wanting to end all text communications with ellipses …
I don’t know if there’s any tools that’ll do that - I imagine it’d be an animation that you’d need to tediously build frame by frame. Gif is especially inefficient to simulate slowness because you need a new frame even when it’s the same as the previous one, so the file would be massive. So you’d want to convert it to MP4 (which anything hosting it would probably do automatically) or use webp - this doesn’t have particularly widespread support but it lets you create animations with a ‘delay’ element so you can hold certain frames. An example of that is here: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/218d951c-67b3-4589-ac94-8f661b32a8fc.webp (wait for it …)
Ranked by complexity:
Think we should maybe walk before we run here.
Most of their communities look to be German, but their biggest one - !europe@feddit.org - is English language only
Communities on feddit.de won’t update 'cos the instance is kaput - the replacement is https://feddit.org/
Hmmm. Well short of running your own server and hacking away at whatever platform it’s running, I think you’re looking at a Feature Request for Lemmy devs (for an option to be included with blocking Instances, to hide/show reply notifications from that instance’s users)
I don’t think you can use Lemmy’s user-level Instance blocks for what you want. The assumption is that if you’re blocking an Instance, you don’t want to see either the communities or the people. There’s a bit of compromise happening that appeases the majority: you can’t block the replies from physically existing, but you can at least prevent being notified of them.
It might be better not to use the Instance block, and individually block all ml’s communities. This would be ball-ache to do by hand, but is scriptable via the API (you’d just have to rerun your script occasionally to catch newly-created communities)
If they’re just looking for the word ‘lemmy’ in the URL, link to the version of the post from an instance that doesn’t have ‘lemmy’ in. E.g. for this post, instead of https://lemmy.ml/post/19458783, link to https://piefed.social/post/208919 or some even more obscure platform.
On lemmy.ml, it’s showing that your post has been made in the ‘afaraf’ language btw, so most people won’t see it, and it’s probably worth fixing with an edit.
I saw that there’s !chronicillness@lemmy.world
Dunno if it’s exactly what you’re looking for - it seems quite memey
