[…] A full solution has been merged, but I don’t think it’s been released yet: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5515

It looks like it’s coming with Lemmy 1.0 ^[1].

[…] Due to a bug, currently the user can post & comment […]

Do you have a link to the bug?

They also can’t send direct messages to users on that instance.

Can a user on the banning instance message the banned user? If so, can the banned user reply?

Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works · 4 months ago

Does an instance ban block future posts by that user from being federated in?

Hrm, I have a suspicion that it was a false positive by the automod (maybe it didn’t like “kill this idea”?):

^[1]

Update (2025-07-22T02:37Z): The moderation action was a false positive, and has been reverted ^[2].

So the user is banned from the instance where that label is seen (eg my instance)? Does an instance banning a user not block that user and their content from that instance? If not, what’s the point of the ban?

Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works · 4 months ago

What is the exact meaning of the "Banned" label next to a user?

[…] I hope it’s really coming🤞

A change regarding Peertube federation with Lemmy certainly does appear to be coming in Lemmy 1.0 ^[1], but it’s currently unknown to me if it does actually fix the issue.

- #5509 fixes this, it will be released as part of Lemmy 1.0
  - This is referring to code that was pushed to the repository that allegedly fixes the issue with Peertube federation.

I can’t wait until Lemmy’s Peertube integration is released ^[1]. Then, iiuc, this comment section should be able to happen directly on The Linux Experiment’s videos within Lemmy.

I’m not really sure what the point of this is. Why not just create communities on Lemmy for those listed topics?

[…] Second thing is getting a capture card that records the resulting 1080p och 720p output from the ADC. I got a relatively cheap one which then plugs into the pc with usb-a. […]

I want to capture interlaced — not progressive ^[2][1]. I don’t want any deinterlacing done by the capture card ^[3].

[…] First thing to do is to convert the analogue signal to hdmi. […]

Why? What’s wrong with directly capturing composite? I have yet to come across an HDMI capture card that doesn’t process the signal in some way (eg no upscaling, no deinterlacing). I’m doing this for archival purposes so I want the signal as unadulterated as possible. This also includes these sorts of transformations you mention:
