In a nutshell, many people are bringing in more or less useful comments although it has already been suggested how this could work; the changes required would touch some core functionality in the way federation is done/ links are handled, thus none of the new devs take the initiative; the two main devs are occupied with other serious stuff.

Aha that’s a postgres default? I was looking into the code to see some of the DB structure. And i thought, well i made over 100 comments in 2 weeks so it wouldn’t take too long until that 32-bit space is used up (in normal operation with some more users).

… How many comments would each of 5M bot accounts need to make to overflow an i32 db key … I also think it looks as if someone is testing disruptive stuff. It may be kids playing, or it may be the chatbot army in preparation.

Perhaps cool down a bit. You can always block a community that you don’t want to see. Taking the nuke out on a whole instance (which is btw. about to install full democracy), just because you dont like a fringe group on there? That’s just not the purpose of the defed tool. – And TD is definitely fringe there and constantly mocked. Sh.itjust.works buddies are making a sport of it, just going there and trying to get thrown out as quickly as possible. They did not break the rules yet so there was no reason to kick them off. If cou want to start a discussion on the topic, you can do so at https://sh.itjust.works/c/agora

Looks very good, like my setting in Boost. One can follow the line now to easily find the parent comment, what’s bad about that? Also slightly more accessible for colour-blind people.
… The horizontal line on top of every comment could be a bit more pronounced perhaps. But yeah…

Question for you: are you taking your pills as prescribed by your doctor? :)

What an honest answer. Nice and educated.

ad 1. You seem to not have paid much attention to the fact that part of the audience you are talking to is leaving another company’s platform because of what is now called “enshittification”. Part of that includes targeted advertising. Why would a cooperative that is driven by such an interest trust your agency?
ad 2. Hope so that you are paying your contractors! ;-)
ad 3. I’ll take it. potentially.
ad 4. bruh!

You can Relax knowing that we are taking care for you of install, configuration, encryption, backups, software updates, os upgrades, live monitoring, alerts, live migrations without downtime …

I can also relax as the NSA and certainly others too, keep backups of all my tracking.

While i can see a benefit in such a service … anyway, one (and a half) questions out of principle:

Are you actively participating in Lemmy or the “Fediverse” at large, meaning that you’d have a vital interest in the development of collectively-operated social networks?
Or is it more so that you jumped on the opportunity to perhaps be the first company to put an advertisement in people’s feeds, in order to make a buseness?

… I may add, this is advertising a service which potentially would allow for customer lock-in, and at the same time it would allow the service provider to potentially gain power over parts of the network. Lemmy instance admins would in essence hand their keys and trustworthyness to a third party. That is concerning.

And … this is calling for a feature request: advertisement flag, including an ignore option in user settings.

You mean, like automatically uploading videos to PeerTube from the Lemmy UI? Yep, that would be nice to have at some point. I’d guess it’s not a priority right now.

It has been suggested to upload to the appropriate fediverse applications, PeerTube, FunkWhale, CastPod, Pixelfed, then link.

Everyone federates with almost everyone else. I only know of the Lemmygrad instance that is blocked by some.
The join-lemmy site has links to instance lists. https://join-lemmy.org/instances – the “Awesome Lemmy Instances” shows if they allow “NSFW” content. The the-federation.info page has their software version in the list.
And here is a good guide on how it currently works to find and join communities (things will develop and get more easy): How To Join Lemmy: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827.
Welcome!

edit: ah yeah, and of course https://lemmy.directory as was mentioned by @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works, which tries to provide an aggregate of … well, all content on the network.

Unfortunately, searching for comms which your server doesn’t know yet, is not yet possible in Jerboa. But things are improving quickly.

Geeezus … there i wanted to tell you somehow that the train has left the station. Well then, you being the senior admin of a specialised instance, and me being a newcomer who purposefully has an account on a general-purpose server roughly in my area, perhaps we can agree on the fact that the system seems designed to both handle special-purpose sites (which is a kind of centralisation) and general-purpose aggregators (which in effect acts as a centralisation at different aspect)? … I will not argue with you but you will also not command others. And btw. why is there no federated user-namespace if it is so that servers are thought to be of themed purpose?

Have a nice day/evening. ;-)

Please don’t be upset because someone differs in their philosophy. I’m not talking about a centralised system but decentralisation in the sense of offloading and failure resistance, while also allowing differing “communities” to have their space with the same topic.

Anyway, until i read your comment, i came across the question, “how to interact with remote servers” multiple times, and never once was it recommended that people create multiple user accounts. Take it as you wish but please also consider the possibility that whatever was once conceptualised is increasingly becoming irrelevant once people use a system in a more intuitive way – it’s now growing organically. Don’t get into that once-typical “made by technicians for technicians” pitfall that whatever works in their mind would have to work for everyone.
It’s the twenty-first century, so it’s time that the machine has to adapt to the human, not the human has to adapt to the machine.

I’d say, this is not the way users should be expected to interact/think of such a system. The idea of forums of the same theme re-created multiple times, or people expected to have multiple user accounts, seems broken by design.

the system should contemplate new instances starting up

^ this.

This is the first time i see this opinion expressed. Was this the conceptual consensus? If so, it looks as if this has changed to “doesn’t matter so much where you sign up, just different instances have different guidelines”, and IMO it wouldn’t make much sense to fragment communities, either.
