I think you have to select multiple languages in settings.
Select "Undetermined, English, and any others" (and then save).
(this language setting affects the web app, mobile app, and search results)
That might fix it buddy.

Yes, I see the same glitch - in both local and remote unsubscribed communities:
- local: https://lemmy.ml/c/books
- remote: https://lemmy.ml/c/books@lemmy.world
Both "Subscribe" and "Block Community" are showing as plain text, yet they are probably meant to be a tags, like the "Create a Post" button:
Create a post
Good catch - you could create an issue on the lemmy-UI issues
“OP made it opt-in”
1 - It’s not opt-in "By User" though. It’s opt-in "By Community"...
So if one person turns it on, 1000’s of other people see it.
OP keeps saying “you can just toggle it off”... but I really can’t... when anyone can toggle it back on.
2 - Future options for toggling are not much better (bottom of the repo, To-Do section):
-
"if a moderator adds the haiku-bot, non-mod users cannot remove it"
-
“only allow moderators to subscribe/unsubscribe”
...so the toggle option wouldn’t apply to 99% of people anyway.
“a few users were waiting for this (-OP)”
Who was waiting for it? The top level replies in this thread are:
- you, who wouldn’t use it
- me, who doesn’t want it
- Otome, who doesn’t like it
I think your bot rules are pretty solid though.
Overall, I just feel like... Lemmy is a fresh space...
a chance to make a new culture...
maybe it's best to leave that old bloated carcass behind.
1 - Yes - some bots are helpful, some (most) are annoying:
-
a Haiku bot falls into your "triggered by accident" category (any post that is 17 syllables).
-
a Haiku bot also does not add any new contextual information (it just duplicates a comment).
That's why I'm saying the haiku bot is junk.
2 - In this very post, when Otome said "I never liked the Haiku Bot"... OP responded "I’ve never liked them much either"...
so I'm asking OP: "why create a bot to spam lemmy with low-value duplicate content, if you don't even like that bot yourself?"
I'm asking you - what value do YOU think this Haiku bot adds?
You did not answer the question... I asked you:
How is a haiku bot not invasive spam?
It's basically the same as the "all numbers in your post add up to 69" bot.
Okay - What value does a haiku bot add?
It only tells you that a post was 17 syllables...
- and then duplicates a comment (spam),
- and then stretches the duplicated comment vertically (spam).
If you agree that most bots are spam, then why are you making and promoting bots?
Here’s a human haiku:
bots are part of what
made reddit such a wasteland.
most bots are just spam.
i wish lemmy would
remain a place for humans.
why can’t we just talk?
Yeah lemmy is a chill place.
It is wild to watch the rapid expansion.
I love the joy you feel from the appearance of a monarch - knowing what that signifies.
And I love the way you study the overall water channel.
