Using the default lemmy-ui you first have to find a post or comment that the user made in your community. Then you should be able to use the pop-up menu for that post/comment to unban them. It may be helpful to go to the user’s profile and search for a relevant post or comment there.

If you are comfortable using the API directly, you can send a POST request using a tool like curl or a browser plugin like RESTED. The site below provides a reference for formatting Lemmy API requests. Set ban=false. It’s a pain, though; you first need to get the community_id, person_id, and your session authentication cookie as inputs.

Republicans will have all three branches of the federal government captured, and there will be no brakes to repealing the ACA and going back to the old, much shittier system.

There is some room for hope. The GOP gained exactly that position in 2016 after the entire party ran on promises of repealing the ACA. They promptly became gridlocked by infighting and accomplished nothing for more than a year. They eventually gave up and instead passed a big tax cut to try and save face with their base. As much as Republicans love to rail against the ACA, many parts of it are very popular with their base and the party has never had a coherent plan for what to put in its place.

Has anyone else bought a durian fruit even after being warned about it? Talk about acquired tastes…

That’s standard practice everywhere else in the US. New Hampshire has this thing about being first, though. They have the earliest presidential primary as well. Releasing early results for this one tiny town is a minor publicity gimmick that shouldn’t have any impact on the overall election. Even the rest of New Hampshire’s towns will wait until Tuesday evening to report their results.

That’s a great idea! I’ll have to bookmark this for later.

Oh man, the Scripps cams are making me want a beach vacation. It’s been too long since I’ve been to the ocean.

so you could watch traffic and brace for the ordeal before driving off to work.

I forgot about traffic cameras. My region’s highway department has webcams along the major mountain passes. This was good reminder; I will need to check them in a few weeks before I drive through the mountains!

You can turn on the TV and watch those ski resort webcams at like 5am or 6am on TV

This would actually be better than most of my local broadcast TV.

The Associated Press seems to have a decent results presentation ready to go:

I wouldn’t bother watching minute-by-minute. There is a decent chance that some swing state will be close enough to trigger a recount, and/or one side files lawsuits challenging the results. This circus is far from over.

That’s an interesting idea. Maybe also include a current list of trending communities, similar to the daily post in !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl?

Since you are looking at revising the search screen, I would also be interested in some sort and filter options for searching communities:

• Sort the results by number of posts, or monthly average users, or by community with the most recent post.

• Exclude communities from dead or defederated instances. For example, when lemmyf.uk shuts down every instance they were federated with will retain local copies of their old communities. There is no reason to refer users to those ghost town communities.
