  • I could be wrong, but my impression is that there is less politics and less bias involved in defining words and and providing pronunciations and etymologies then there is an articles about history and politics and people.

    I especially like Wiktionary from the point of view of exploring cognates between languages and etymologies that cross language boundaries, in a big dictionary that covers many languages all at once.















  • When I search for this setting in Sync it shows up.

    But when I click on it it goes to a page that does not offer the setting either at the top level or buried inside of anything else.

    When I go to look for this setting again in my home instance, I find that it is in fact now correctly set. It was not correctly set when I posted. So my fix stuck.

    I assume, as someone else suggested, that there’s some caching going on somewhere, either on the transmitting end or the receiving end.

    That’s fair: as far as Lemmy knows it was posted by a self-declared bot, even if that puppet later became a real boy.


  • Thank you. I’m going to try again now.

    I’m using sync on Android and I don’t believe that I can change the setting there. I can change the setting for whether I filter bot accounts, and so that confused me for a bit about whether I was misinterpreting that setting.

    I did find the setting in a web browser on my home instance. And I thought I corrected it, and I thought I saved my change. Updates and screenshots to follow momentarily.

    Is this a setting that defaults to bot‽
