He learned from the best… George Lucas did everything he could with Bill Moyers to open source the whole humanity meme pattern inspiration in Star Wars. He was trying to tie pre-film, pre-cinema, patterns to film. Passing down the meat and potatoes of society to each generation.

But lemmy.world should primarily communicate via lemmy imo…

I find the same attitude holds for developers who like to hang out in real-time Matrix chat and don’t seem to use Lemmy itself very much and things like code blocks ruining greater-than and less-than slip right into release without much concern.

I’ve found there is a culture within Lemmy developers and long-time operators to discuss in Discord or Matrix chat instead of “eating their own dogfood” and using Lemmy itself to openly discuss Lemmy technical and project issues. These chat services are legendary for keeping things away from search engines and newcomers getting up to speed. Lemmy itself isn’t nearly as search-engine friendly as Reddit was traditionally, it seems like feedback needs to be given as to how important it is to keep things about Lemmy in the eyes of those who actually use Lemmy…

Thoughts?

I haven’t tested with 0.18.3 to see if new features were added to front-end lemmy-ui, but based on my experience with earlier 0.18 releases… the “Sign Up” page of Lemmy needs to have a custom message added for each instance basically introducing the instance from the admins. The experience is pretty bad… on my instance I have registration closed and lemmy-ui still just presents “Sign Up” links and even the form. I think it’s pretty important to get this in the back-end now so that the evolving independent front-ends all support the custom message shown above/below the Sign Up form…

Seems like something that shouldn’t take a lot of coding to get added (admin screen has place to create custom messages like “Legal”) that would be a good lemmy network-wide focus on the newcomer experience.

they are called communities here

lemmy.ml is now getting some lemmy.world content

Back then, they seemed to just wear a lot more clothes. It’s such an odd stance to think you can’t use an umbrella or clothing to block out the sun. I can understand being skeptical about the side-effects of sunscreen being slathered on your body and absorbed… but it’s pretty common to see depiction of parasols being used in older times.

It’s sort of like WiFi and 5G mobile drivers (especially the software driven radios), a lot of proprietary stuff is in the driver that reveals hardware secrets. GPU is also regulated now for export controls from USA-derived technology. With software-driven radios, you see a lot of effort to keep people from using bands outside their national laws.

yha, it said “effectively defedarated” - anyway, I edited out the words entirely so there isn’t any more confusion.

example?

EDIT: Ok, I see a lemmy.ml created a post: https://lemmy.world/post/2463337
So far, I can’t find any new content on lemmy.ml from .world

This post you made, the language you set on it is “中文”.

comments are hidden on some posts I’ve seen, like it says there are 8 but I see 2.

Lemmy has bug in counting too. Comments are often missing because of replication issues between servers. But the most common issue I’v seen with inflated comment numbers is edits being counted as new comments.

I had to look it up… British

Although these days I’m finding I don’t recall as much as I used to, I might have known about it in my past.

lemmy.ml is back online!

Your home instance will act as a proxy and only they have access to your email and IP address.

Your home image typically doesn’t proxy image loading, those are hotlinked to the Lemmy server that the image was uploaded to. So your IP address and browser string are going to other Lemmy servers.

For micro/personal server runners

Having to send out all those posts, comments, likes is killing the servers holding all the content. The project leaders really need to make an announcement about the performance problems, they are systemic.

Federation also does a lot of live HTTP connects to other peers. It looks up users for messages. The whole design is very resource intensive, one single vote, comment, post at a time. There is also a lot of boilerplate JSON overhead in sending something as simple as a single vote.

That does sound incredibly good for free.

It’s a little too good to be true, they have been known to shut down people without notice… I wouldn’t rely on it. And the screens to use it are kind of tricky, but there are lots of instruction videos.

Did you have any issues with pict-rs? Is it indeed included within the lemmy-server binary?

I skipped that for now. I don’t think ARM64 matters, Linux is Linux. I skipped it as I didn’t want to take on policing images people upload, but as Lemmy improves I might change my mind.

I see no reason ARM64 should matter for Lemmy vs. x86, this is run of the mill stuff like PostgreSQL, Rust,m NodeJS.

ARM64 docker images (unfortunately 0.17.4 images don’t exist yet).

I would use the “Lemmy from Scratch”, and go with using github checkout for lemmy_server code.

I’m running my instance on ARM64 on Oracle Cloud, they are giving out free ARM systems with 24GB of RAM and 200GB storage.
