Fortunately it doesn’t federate

trying not to poop

Why…were you trying not to poop? Or was this a meme I missed? I remember the beans.

Yeah, Lemmy had absolutely been great over the last year. 6-hour Top sorting is absolutely key here.

Is it a one-for-one replacement? No. There are a lot of communities that haven’t been able to come over effectively. But the main core communities have and it’s been fantastic.

I implicitly trust FOSS more than closed source but because that trust has been earned through millions of FOSS projects.

On occasion, I will dive deep into a codebase especially if I have a bug and I think I can fix it.

You can’t do this with closed source or even source available code because there is no guarantee that the code you have is the code that’s been compiled.

“We have changed the terms. Pray that we don’t change them further.”

Just a reminder that a cloud provider can oopsie delete your data

The customer was fucking lucky they had their data also in AWS. many companies don’t do multi cloud backups.

I haven’t seen a “don’t vote in elections” stance myself but the fact that you can say that and not get banned is a positive.

I’d say dbzer0 is probably the most leftist, at least from what I’ve seen. I personally don’t go as far as being an anarchist but can appreciate the philosophy. I probably have more in common with anarchy than democratic/plurality governance, if I’m being honest with myself.

It looks like outerbase studio is primarily written in typescript where adminer is php.

I have a delta of about 200mb ± which isn’t a lot all considered but it changes everyday. The only regular thing I do is use the browser. I might need to exclude it from my incrementals and only do those weekly.

I recently started doing this as well but not sure if it’s excessive. I’m beginning to think I need to separate out actual data from ephemeral data (e.g. browser cache, etc)

I feel like matrix isn’t a one-to-one replacement. It’s a good slack replacement.

I haven’t used matrix enough to know for sure but does it have the discord equivalent of servers?

Thank you for this post and encouragement. I am open to volunteering my time and talents to help people find Lemmy.

However, after the work is done, it would be fantastic if you all could invest in advertising. I know that Google and Bing aren’t great but if I had to guess, search trend for “reddit alternatives” is probably rising and Lemmy is in a great spot to provide reddit refuges a life raft.

I would call them “starter” instances. And I’m in agreement there should be a set of principles that these instances should follow but at the same time telling new users that it’s okay to switch instances. I started in .world but moved due to their increasingly conservative changes.

While I personally would steer new users away from .world, I think it’s more important to tell them it’s okay to switch instances.

I’m in the same boat. The ads have become terrible for me so I’m in the market for a new app anyway. I was hesitant to purchase a subscription because of the low number of releases.

Glad I didn’t

I personally see three big issues with getting new users to Lemmy use and stat on Lemmy:

• knowing about it: It is a matter of time before Reddit bans linking to Lemmy. Either by outright preventing their discussion via shadow deletes or full deletes. join-lemmy.org would be well served by purchasing ads on Google and on Bing
• join-lemmy ux needs to be improved: this goes to your point and I fully agree that there needs to be a better onboarding experience. I am a fairly technical guy and even I had trouble understanding the major concepts behind Lemmy. Many of these concepts aren’t terribly important to a new user though. At least at first.
• more and better content: this is fortunately getting better but we’re not there yet

Really early on like right after the API fuckfest, there was a large influx of users who picked servers based on whatever. As a result, servers defederated and there was a lot of drama as a result.

Though that said I haven’t heard much about defederating in some time.

Lemmy really needs to buy ads on Google. I know…Google is just awful.

But doing a search for “reddit alternatives”, the first result is reddit.

I’d be willing to chip in some money to get that going.

I use NewRelic myself. They are software agnostic and only connect to your URL to get the expiration date.

If you set up LE correctly, it should never get an alert. I haven’t been alerted since I set it up, to the point that I wonder if I set up the monitor correctly.

The only thing I wish it could do is use custom ports. I have some services running on non standard ports.
