Not in any real usable way other than an archive of what you can see in a browser. As of right now you’d need your own instance for a real backup.

smstnitc, in What do you use Vaseline for?

I haven’t used it since I was a teenager 😂

jonkenator, in What series did you rewatch most often?

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia

The Office

Ted Lasso

Seinfeld

alex, in How can I back up a community I mod?

My suggestion would be to back it up on the Internet archive manually once in a while.

I’ll upvote it with the hopes of seeing an answer from the devs. This could be a very important/useful feature.

homoludens, in What online games can be played by 2 users?

Boatdgamearena has a lot of boardgames to choose from (surprise!), some of them are definitely playable on a phone.

helvedeshunden, in The Best Two-Factor Authentication App? (iOS)
@helvedeshunden@kbin.dk avatar

I am all-in on Bitwarden - and I use Apple's 2FA with a widget shortcut to Passwords in settings to unlock Bitwarden. For maximum security it makes sense to keep your OTP in a separate app, but if you choose to keep them in Bitwarden, it will add your 2FA codes to your clipboard after inserting your login and password on the site. Extremely convenient.

Bitwarden is light, multi-platform, will support Passkeys, open source, offers username and password generation, free (and VERY cheap if you want to unlock sharing). In my opinion nothing comes close.

darkstar, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

War Thunder, approaching 10,000 hours. One day I’ll get good!

If you are wounded it’s great to apply on your skin

hahattpro, in What online games can be played by 2 users?

So you need at least 2 player, or only 2 player?

only 2 players, but it’s also ok if more users can be added

shapesandstuff, in What online games can be played by 2 users?

There are a couple of these war games, where you control a nation and expand, make alliances, break them etc to gain superiority. Similar to HOI but browser/mobile based.

Generally more than 2 players iirc but you can probably play together against the others

jaackf,

Do you have any links?

lorez, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Back to the future.

HobbitFoot, in should we be worried about powers-moderators/users?

Moderating is hard and requires a set of skills to run moderation cheaply. You’re probably going to have a group of known mods on Lemmy doing the same, just because mods with these skills will be sought after.

A bigger issue is that Lemmy seems to be continuing Reddit’s practice of mod rank by time only. The implementation of a guild model would be better for mod governance, as it allows for better discussions of mod policy and allow greater input from the invested community.

Of course, trigger happy bans are still going to happen as people troll and worse.

jimrob4, in What series did you rewatch most often?
  • The Simpsons seasons 1-5 (5-10 are okay, 10+ is yuck)
  • Beavis and Butthead
  • MST3K seasons 1-10
mrbubblesort, in What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy?
@mrbubblesort@kbin.social avatar

Kbin's UI is just better. I realize both can be customized, but I'd prefer not to mess around with any of that yet. Plus I know people on mastadon, so that sealed it for me.

freeman,

Customizations brought vulns on Lemmy with the custom emojis introducing XSS vulns and a few takeovers in the recent weeks.

Swedneck,
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

but that’s not the fault of the UI, that’s the fault of the server and/or operator for allowing something like that to be even theoretically possible in the first place.

This is why you place UIs on separate domains from the servers, and always treat user input like it’s radioactive AND toxic.

freeman,

The custom emoji’s was a developed feature of Lemmy pushed out in their UI code. Even the project mainters instance was affected. Its why 0.18.2 was released.

join-lemmy.org/…/2023-07-11_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.18…

Thats not on server/infra operators. It was a vuln in the core UI code. Some operators DID patch it themselves (i think Beehaw is one), others were less affected (ie: My instance is closed and i dont use custom emjis anyhow), but those are features introduced by the maintainers and some of the bigger instances would get requests for them anyhow. So it was a problem.

Swedneck,
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

but the fundamental vulnerability is not in the UI, by that logic you could just run your own UI and get into servers without issue, the vulnerability is always in either the server software or in the specific deployment.

snowe,
@snowe@programming.dev avatar

The vulnerability was in the ui.

Swedneck,
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

again, that makes no sense whatsoever, by that logic anyone can just merrily wreak havoc by using a client specially made to have vulnerabilities.

Subjective. I don’t like the UI on Kbin more than the Lemmy one.
