Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children.
I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.
Of course its possible, afaik Piefed uses Libretranslate for this. So the same would work for Lemmy, someone just needs to find the time to implement it.
What you should do as a mod is set the allowed languages in the community settings. Then people wont be able to post in other languages. Though I realize that the UI for this isnt so good for now.


Yes, you can test it yourself by registering an account on voyager.lemmy.ml with the sidebar button (direct link). There are also lots of other new features available, I really need to write a post about them. To name just a few: private communities (followers require mod approval), webassembly plugins, post tags (ui is not finished yet), and more…


EU officials are, incidentally, exempt from chat monitoring – which is quite convenient for someone like von der Leyen. Their communication is explicitly NOT to be monitored. The mere fact that those who drafted this law don’t want it to apply to them tells you everything you need to know about it.


Then how do you expect the problem to get fixed? Do you think I’m a mind reader?


Did you open a bug report?


Lemmy supports federation with Peertube since a long time.


Seems like fetching the post listing from Peertube is broken, but you can fetch individual videos by url. Also if you follow a Peertube channel new videos will automatically be federated and show in your feed. If you encounter such problems please open an issue, we cant fix bugs that we are unaware of.
lemmy.ml fits those criteria.

Over three years without any progress.
This is not possible with the way Lemmy is implemented, because each post belongs to exactly one community. This is not something we can realistically change. We are considering to show comments from different posts with the same url together, but that is controversial.
In any case NodeBB, Lemmy and Piefed are different platforms with different implementations and different users. So it makes sense that some features are implemented differently, or only available in a subset of platforms.

This will come with Lemmy 1.0


This is a known issue and will be fixed in Lemmy 1.0: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5210


The best channel is through the issue tracker, for example github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui. In practice Im not sure how the UI could be changed to make this clearer. Do you have an idea, or an example how another website handles this?
In theory apps can do anything that the website can, but this app probably hasnt implemented the feature yet.

You are using Piefed but this community is only for help with Lemmy.
This is a problem with your instance (lemmy.org) so you will have to contact the admin.

These logs are from the api, not from federation. So a client is trying to access posts and comments which dont exist. Is the Lemmy frontpage looking normal? Regarding federation, other instances would have marked your instance as dead by now. This should be reset automatically after a few days, or you can manually trigger it (eg unfollow and refollow remote communities).
I would also suggest you join the admin chat on Matrix to get more help: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-support-general:discuss.online


With 4500 posts per minute you will probably get a lot of other scaling issues too, like with your database or the processing of incoming and outgoing activities. In any case its a good way to learn how Activitypub works. Is the code open source? Dont see it on your codeberg.
Using the plugin system you basically just need a way to get notified about each new post and comment, right? I expect that will be one of the major use cases for plugins. We will likely provide various official plugins, eg push notifications for Android and iOS. The same thing should also work for you.Version 1.0 will let you subscribe to communities to get notifications for all new posts and comments (code).
When you view the global post listing from all communities, it shouldnt display posts in languages that you dont speak. Similarly it shouldnt be possible to make a post in Danish or Polish in a German community. With Lemmy 1.0 there will be automatic language detection available so you wont have to specify it manually for each comment. And translations could be implemented using Libretranslate (selfhosted).
