Any chance of an option to flip the upvote/downvote colors to the Lemmy ordering (blue up/red down)? It's always a little jarring going between the app and website and seeing all my votes are backwards

Well, looks like it works so far! @[email protected] I was about to suggest not posting the backlog, or at least limiting it, but seeing as there were only 3 posted here and the feed goes back 10, I take it you already though of that

Now that I think about it, it would also be nice to add some title formatting kinda like the autoposts. Then these could be tagged as "[Newsletter] Feb 26: ...."

It's caused by a user on another non-Lemmy, non-Mastodon fediverse platform. The lemmy web UI doesnt have a problem with them, but I think Sync doesn't know how to deal with displaying a username from an unfamiliar platform

Comparing against the web, I think it's this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/10906124 (original source https://neon.nightbulb.net/firefly/p/1709468335.002251)

Sync can handle posts from Mastodon well enough, but apparently not so much other AP-based platforms. This one came in from a snac-based instance apparently breaks something

One of those lessons one can only learn one way: the hard way

Ooh, looking forward to Zippy's RSS feeds! I was considering dropping in some of Tom Scott's newsletters into [email protected], but wanted to automate it from the RSS. Zippy support would be great for that

And thanks of course for the TADC community shout-out

And then you get a call from a Swedish Wikipedia editor and they say:

February 30 was a day that happened in Sweden, 1712.[4] This occurred because, instead of changing from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar by omitting a block of consecutive days, as had been done in other countries, the Swedish Empire planned to change gradually by omitting all leap days from 1700 to 1740, inclusive. Although the leap day was omitted in February 1700, the Great Northern War began later that year, diverting the attention of the Swedes from their calendar so that they did not omit leap days on the next two occasions; 1704 and 1708 remained leap years.[5]

To avoid confusion and further mistakes, the Julian calendar was restored in 1712 by adding an extra leap day, thus giving that year the only known actual use of February 30 in a calendar. That day corresponded to February 29 in the Julian calendar and to March 11 in the Gregorian calendar.[5][6] The Swedish conversion to the Gregorian calendar was finally accomplished in 1753, when February 17 was followed by March 1.[5]

it’s not like I can watch the show or anything

I mean, if it's access to the episodes that's the problem, solutions are available. Heck, even Dana Terrace, the creator of the damn show, does it!
