Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children.
I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.
Wow this “policy” has 3700 lines in total. It must take a lot of time to create and maintain it. How does someone even find the time for that?
I tried to access some blocked users and communities via tesseract.dubvee.org and it simply shows a generic “Not Found” error. So this is impossible to figure out for the average user. Even for developers it would be hard to figure out if the JSON file was hidden a bit better.
You can follow Lemmy users from Mastodon etc. But the outbox isnt even used by Mastodon, so we havent bothered to implement it properly yet.
if i open my own user profile from mastodon, it only shows me about half the posts that i actually make.
That is normal, its usually because no one on that instance follows your user profile specifically. Part of your posts are federated because someone is following a subset of the communities where you are posting.
Private communities in Lemmy only federate with approved users and their instances. So if you dont trust lemmy.xyz, simply dont approve any followers from that instance, then it will never receive any private content.
Good, I can fetch the community now from lemmy.ml and made a test comment.
Your instance is not configured properly. curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' https://лемми.опенсорс.рус/c/rust_rus should return JSON data but it returns HTML. See the troubleshooting page and make sure you followed the setup instructions properly.
You can also get help via Matrix.
Yes that’s me ;)
They contacted us just a few days ago, asking if we want to sign. So I also don’t know any more details yet, only what the public declaration says.
Okay I’m adding that to the donation page on join-lemmy.org.
Better integration with Mastodon or Pixelfed mainly needs to be done from their side, but it seems those projects are not interested. Are there any specific improvements you would like to see?
Thanks for donating!
If you don’t have a smartphone are you truly human? /s
Lemmy puts up full-page advertisements for donations but a lot of that funding goes to running Lemmy.ml and seemingly only very little to actual code development.
Please stop spreading misinformation. The server for lemmy.ml only costs ~70€ per month which is only 2% of the total donation amount (3336€). With Lemmy we care a lot about writing high-quality and bug-free code as well as offering a good user experience. All of that takes time to do well.
Edit: For your information, only donations via Opencollective pay for lemmy.ml hosting. All other donation methods are exclusively paying for developer salaries.
Thats good to hear, I made a lot of mistakes of using the wrong numbers for times or dates.
In Korean it’s not so bad: 한, 둘, 셋, 넷. Or 일, 이, 삼, 사. Yes there are two different types of numbers…
FYI only donations via OpenCollective are used for lemmy.ml hosting (see the expenses). Other donation methods are purely to pay for development work.
DB0 seems to use the normal lemmy-ui without any changes. Though I dont have an account there to test it. Best if you contact the admins on db0 to ask about this.
FYI the text of deleted posts is automatically wiped after 30 days.
Where do you see the URL constantly updating while typing? Because I cant reproduce that when writing a comment. Is that directly on lemmy.dbzer0.com or are you using a different frontend? And which OS/browser are you using?
This probably happens because your browser gets killed by the OS due to low memory. Opened an issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/4084
If you are curious about a Wikipedia alternative, have a look at Ibis. It is federated and open source, just like Lemmy!
