This started happening with another community. After looking there is an open issue on GitHub. Looks like it is impacting smaller servers more than larger ones?

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3428

Sadly, it’s not fixed it. Although I’ve noticed it’s community specific…

I think I got rate limited when I used a python script to migrate my subscriptions (some 503 errors) but most of them came through. My new account still gets this post from a year ago (https://feddit.uk/post/321952) as my 4th hot post. Along with a number of 1 year+ old posts below. However, after looking into it looks like they are all from Programmer [email protected]. Going back to my original account, which has my full subscriptions, again they seem to be from some specific communities:

ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml 
Gaming@kbin.social 
Gaming@lemmy.ml
CasualUK@kbin.social 
Cathode Ray Tubes@kbin.social 

I’m going to unsubcribe from these for the time being, and see how I get on.

Stranger and stranger… these are my “hots”. They start off okay, and then quickly they are a year+ old. Happens on all clients. I’m probably going to create a new username/account and see if it’s the same. Maybe something has got stale with this one. Besides, I don’t like my username anymore! :)

@[email protected] Hey Tom. This issue is persisting for me. I get the odd post that I would consider hot, but in general the posts are days, weeks or in a couple of cases YEARS old! I have accounts on two other instances with similar subscriptions to those I have here:

lemmy.world doesn’t have this issue (although it has many other issues and is generally unusable, I think due to load). They are on UI: 0.18.1-rc.7

programming.dev is also on BE: 0.18.0 and seems fine. No issues with hot posts. They have about twice the number of users/posts as feddit.uk.

Only read posts. I don’t want to necessarily hide read posts. If it’s interesting I want to keep coming back to it. Also if it’s a junk, offensive, triggering, spammy repost I don’t want to have to “read” it to make it go away.

Indeed. And that’s not even taking account those discs are much harder to get a hold of and/or more expensive than the Gameboy Player itself!

Nice

Oh absolutely! That’s the killer app for the Gameboy Player IMHO. Properly felt like a return to the SNES days of 2D platforming, but with improved tech and quality of life. Love it.

Big shout out to the Gameboy Player add-on for the GameCube, and the equally brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.

The Mastodon instance I’m on has blocked all known Meta IPs as a preventative measure. So I imagine some admins will federate and some won’t, and users will be free to join the instance that they wish to.

Yeah, I’d say either repro (because it’s not an official Nintendo manufactured cart/ or a homebrew cart.

It’s fine. They might smell a bit musty, so I’d wash them. Especially if your are going to donate.

Doesn’t work on Jerboa ☹️ At least I now know why my feed seems to be filled with these html image links.

Definitely. Nothing really caught my attention in terms of the used retro games, but got chatting to Alastair from Lowtek games who was really nice, and just loved the look of the blue cart. Plus any excuse to fire up the old front loader!

Also Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) is a thing.

I’d suggest Löve, which uses Lua. It’s a powerful language but equally easy to learn. You could also try Pico8, which is also a version of Lua. It’s presented as if it’s an old 8-bit microcomputer with a built in sprite and tile editor. I find Pico8 much more approachable for beginners. Python is another good starting point for low end hardware.

That makes sense. I haven’t done much research into the pocket, but my understanding is that the FPGA allocated for the OpenFPGA cores is quite small, and that the save states on the MiSTer increase the FPGA usage quite considerably, so I guess it’s no superise that there isn’t enough space to a support them. I do have quite a lot of GB and GBA carts, and that’s really why I ordered one, but I’ve found myself using the save states on the rg35xx very frequently. It’s so convenient just to turn it off and for it to save.

Oh man. The pocket doesn’t have SNES save states? Mine is on order but not due for ages. I’ve been playing on an Rg35xx in the meantime and don’t know if I can go back to no save states!

Looks interesting. Downloading the demo now to see if it works on GarlicOS on my RG35XX. My Analogue Pocket is due sometime next century I reckon.

Fark eh. I used to have a double digit account number of there. Those were the days.
