I think Meilisearch is pretty good. I throw it wherever possible and it works :) Implementing a custom solution is not worth it.

Happy cake day! 🎂

It doesn’t seem like a great feature if it only moves the post history to the imported instance and not to any other instances.

I don’t think banning users by the keyword “88” or defederating from an instance because it has “peepo” logo and accusing them of being (possible) nazis is not that effective. Or at least prone to false-positives.

Though downvote statistics stuff looks good.

Yeah I don’t get this argument either. The user reports content and I can see it, no matter which instance they’re using. Does Piefed have a fully automatic autobot that fights spammers and we don’t know about it? :)

That’s why I said “IIRC” because I don’t remember either 🙂

IIRC WebTorrent support is removed. Is torrenting completely off the table?

My instance has 82GB of DB size. It is almost two years old. I think you’re overestimating.

I think open discovery algorithms are the way. We are against algos but sorting by like similarity would be beneficial.

What are you guys thinking? @dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@lemmy.ml Are you optimistic about this or fuck any algorithms?

I reset statuses every few months for a re-check. Other than that, there’s no mechanism specifically for this case.

1. In order for an instance to follow a community in another instance, both must be registered in lemmy-federate.

2. If an instance has the “auto add” feature enabled, newly created communities will be added automatically within 1 to 5 minutes. This process is automatic. No action is required from an admin/moderator/user. You can see this from instances page.

3. If “auto add” is not enabled, any user can add that community manually. If not added, lemmy-federate will not work for that community.

Off topic, no need to apologize this much :)

Lemmy Federate doesn’t do anything special. It searches and follows communities just like normal users do. The only difference is that it does this from every (registered) instance, for almost every community. The reason I didn’t explain it in more detail is that it has evolved into an admin tool rather than a user tool. Generally, admins know what this tool is for.

However, I can explain a few things that will be useful for you outside of the “All” tab:

Discoverability

Lemmy Federate enhances community discoverability by allowing users to search communities from their instance. Instead of relying on an external site, you can discover new communities while staying within the context of your own instance.

Crossposts

Let’s say that technology@lemmy.world is federated in your instance, but technology@lemmy.ml is not. In this case, you won’t see crossposts from technology@lemmy.ml sharing the same link as technology@lemmy.world.

Initial post count

When a community is pulled for the first time, only a certain number of recent posts are pulled with it. If you are the first to follow a community you are interested in from your instance, you will not be able to see all posts from that community.

I created this tool and have been using it in my instance since the very beginning. My instance is almost 2 years old and it’s total database size is 60.2GB.

The thing is:

• If a community is generating enough activity, it’s likely that someone from your instance is already following that community.
• If a community isn’t generating enough activity, it won’t create much of a network/storage burden anyway.

Sure, it will make a small difference, but it’s nothing compared to the benefits it provides.

Nope. lemy.lol. With only one l, peepo logo.

If you say so. I’m a big fan of Cosmic because I’m hoping it will fill the modern, beautiful and also fast DE gap in Linux world. That’s why I may have sounded a little harsh (especially since it’s not even beta).

Frankly, I would prefer using Nautilus, VLC in a stable cosmic-comp. I believe the S76 team has strayed bit of the target by working on features that are not urgent (like Cosmic Edit, Cosmic MP). Still, it seems to be progressing pretty well.

I tried daily drive but could not continue due to some critical but minor issues. I will try it again when it is labeled as beta because I really like its speed and appearance.

As I understand, it will make things work like Bluesky. Users will be able to use their own domain handles while not hosting an instance as a whole.

👋

Ok. I want to host my own Bluesky and interact with the bsky.app instance. How?

The article is all about excuses.

I agree that fediverse needs a personalized “explore” page in general. For example, this is the only plus feature of Bluesky over Mastodon (in terms of technology). It is obvious how big difference it makes.

I generally avoid the evil algorithms found on other social networks, but I hope we see that in Lemmy.
