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!
Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children.
I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.

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


I asked @[email protected] about this as he is more familiar with the ranking algos:
Maybe not renaming active, but possibly renaming hot… but IMO they’re fine. Its just different from reddit, and more like the hackernews algorithm: join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html#hacker-news . It’s more new-focused to prevent the main problem of reddits which is rewarding first posts / comments, regardless of their quality
If your instance invents fake users for voting, that is very easy to spot if you view the profile and its all empty. So you need to add a profile picture, bio and some posts as well. But if the names and avatars are all similar, or the posts are obviously LLM generated, its still quite easy to spot manipulation. Or if the modlog for that user has entries for vote manipulation. On the other hand if there is only the total number of votes, there is no way at all to see if they are legit.
I think a much better option for vote privacy is what Piefed tried using “Local-only votes”. So privacy-conscious users can choose that their votes are not federated, and then only the local admin can see them. This could be a simple boolean user setting, or could be more granular to allow/disallow vote federation with specific instances.

By the way sent you a private message, hope you received that.


Do you think it would make sense renaming Active to Hot and vice versa?


Right and also many western police/military receive training from (former) IDF soldiers. Seems like Israel is the blueprint for the future of our countries.


Why is it always Israel? You would think that this would be done somewhere in the US or UK, but no.


And also the governments of many other countries like UK, Germany, Israel etc. Yes other countries do exist ;)


MediaWiki is a much bigger project, with probably dozens of developers working on it full-time. It has a lot more features. Ibis on the other hand is only a small project which I’m developing on the side. If Wikipedia wanted to federate, the best option would be adding that logic directly into MediaWiki.


Oops youre right, I closed registrations a while ago as I wasnt working on Ibis and there were too many spam accounts. Opened it for now, later I need to add something like Lemmy’s registration application.
Okay I’m adding that to the donation page on join-lemmy.org.
