Should adopt the hot sorting from reddit. With how Lemmy hot works, new posts are always on top of hot. On Reddit, they need to be voted up quite a bit before even having a chance of appearing on hot.

Point two can be argued about if we say “no software project should have more than three responsible people.” Anyone can contribute, but there are at most three people deciding how the code should be and keeping an overview over everything.

Sound strange? How would we have ever landed on the moon with this? Answer: develop the whole system as a set of libraries that form a nice dependency tree all the way up to the one library that executes rocket launch on button press.

Each library does one thing very well, and each library is designed with the passion and thoughtfulness of someone’s hobby open source project.

Great that they included these automatic hardware resets. Way to go if your computer will never see a human or human-made thing ever again

You could create a license that makes it illegal to process information about the users in that way. Obviously, someone is gonna violate it, but all the respectable instances will at least not, since they usually don’t operate out of reach of working jurisdictions.

They may just base their limit on one or a few block sizes of the hash function.

Ah yes, North America, birthplace of Linus Torvalds and only part of the world where Linux is developed

At least was a bug. If a post for whatever reason is requested again from another instance, then it would be inserted into the database with a very high hot score, as if it was a new post. But I thought that was fixed.

I really hope that some researchers will get interested into this and develop some cool solutions to this. Maybe we are lucky and they even implement them into Lemmy.

Mastodon requires you to have a domain if I remember correctly. Maybe Lemmy has the same? Then it would cost some 10€ to get a new domain each time you get blocked.

Tahnk you a lot!

Link to post?

It’s annoying that you have to subscribe to all of them.

I’d welcome a feature to subscribe to a community and all known (to my instance) communities with the same name.

As a new user, I wonder the same.

Yeah database protection is even for stuff that you don’t own. You have then spent effort to compile the database. Which in this case is the collection of people’s posts. But maybe asks lawyer if that applies in this case.

I have no idea, but at least in EU you may be violating copyright by copying someone else’s database (i.e. collection of data). I am not a lawyer though…

True, but it doesn’t tell how active people actually are. This could just all be people who check out Lemmy and get bored after an hour and never come back. Active users per day would be a lot more interesting for short timeframes like this.

I am happy though that many people try out Lemmy, and I hope that many also stick with it.

Then banners should not be displayed on too small displays.

This may be against reddits TOS and may have legal consequences. But I guess mostly for the person operating the bot, and not the Lemmy instance, as long as they block the bot on request.

Monthly active users doesn’t really tell much in that short timeframe. This is just the sum of new user accounts, and people that came back

Banners are nice! If the front end has issues with them, then hopefully using them makes that more obvious, and then the Devs prioritise it 🙂
