Into the Fediverse!
Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don’t personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That’s not their decision to make.
Needlessly aggressive internet arguments and flame wars for no reason
Building history one update at a time 😎
It’s real hard to break a habit that’s been ongoing for almost 12 years for me. I’m trying to do my part by contributing, upvoting, etc
What are the potential downsides to this? In other words, why isn’t it like this stock?
Unfortunately I do not :( it was on a discussion from an article about Reddit standing firm on API changes iirc
I think for now it’s so early it doesn’t matter all that much. Just have fun! You can make multiple accounts so why not
Ah, a shame but reasonable. Worth a test :D
I have a small contribution: another kind user I have since forgotten (rip) recommended Jerboa for Lemmy as an Android app to use. It’s much nicer than the web browser experience IMO. I heard there’s also a good option on iOS, so feel free to chime in if you know what that is. I heard on HackerNews that some people plan to make their own Lemmy instances effectively private so they can simply use it as a personal feed and go anywhere they please. Sounds like a great idea, honestly. Imagine an IowaMan instance, for example, and I would simply control it however I want. Not sure what the reqs would be tho.
Thanks for that site suggestion! It’s about the right level I need.
I want to see them try!
Good luck doing that for 8000 subs
I really appreciate what you’re doing, but I’m worried how this instance will continue scaling. What happens when it gets to 1 million users? 10 million? We can scale vertically only somewhat, but horizontal scaling seems to be limited to “just join a new instance 4head” and that just…doesn’t have a good experience.
I am still furiously trying to upvote you but alas, the server will not let me >:(
Sorry, my brain isn’t parsing this well. Can you elaborate? Does report mean “comment” in this instance?
Yeah, it is often “undoing” my upvotes and spamming “report created” when I’m hitting upvote…I wonder what’s busted now.
There’s some massive UI onboarding issues, but the community here is wayyyy better than reddit imo. Without a framework of understanding, it’s hard to figure out what server to join, how subscriptions work across instances, etc. My current understanding is if I like lemmy.world the most, I am just going to search communities from other instances I like and subscribe to it on my profile here. At least, that’s what I’ve been doing.
Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn’t have thought of it straight away at all.
