That’s an old story, and if I remember correctly the title was misleading, it was more of a decision of the instance admins to not renew it rather than the Taliban having anything to do with it

Nice project. $249 seems a bit high, but I guess it's like the Fairphone, they can't save as much as the large manufacturers do.

Ctrl+F "lemmy", only 2 occurences, that's sad.

2024, Java is still the 2nd language on GitHub with 11,7% of the total code hosted, while Rust is number 13 with 1,8%

I skimmed through it, it's actually a decent article.

Could one of them post about Lemmy so that we get a small awareness boost?

Isn't that dangerous to discose the bug while the largest version is still 18.5 ? https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/versions

Hello,

Sounds promising, but be ready to get criticised for choosing Discord

For example, Threads supports audio posts, a feature not currently supported within ActivityPub, so Meta is experimenting with “federating” a text transcription of the original post instead of the audio version.

Here we go

Lemmyverse.net show both communities: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=watchreddit

It probably didn't show up in the first place it only has 66 subscribers, and probably none on SJW.

About your second point, you indeed have to promote your community, using !newcommunities@lemmy.world, or related communities. This works quite well usually.

I will add that in your case, people knew about your community as you posted in other communities, but as discussed then, people seemed happy with the existing Reddit-focused communities.

Mastodon's main dev isn't really open. Have a look at the "Ego" part of this article: https://cassolotl.medium.com/i-left-mastodon-yesterday-4c5796b0f548

Misskey forks, whatever their names are today, seem more interesting

Lemmy's code isn't that easy to get into, otherwise there would be much more contributors to it.

The third biggest contributor after the two main devs has 59 commits.

I have higher hopes. Java is three times more developers than Rust (https://www.statista.com/statistics/793628/worldwide-developer-survey-most-used-languages/), and you can see in this thread a number of people saying they could contribute as they know Java and not Rust.

Let's hope for the best.

Host your own instance and that would be the case

This is fixed in version 0.19.3, hopefully your instance will update soon

I skimmed through it, seems like a basic explanation of what the Fediverse is, mostly oriented on Mastodon.

The videast himself doesn't think he'll post his videos to the Fediverse as it lacks monetization.

Great study, thanks for sharing!

There is a security issue by allowing automatic federation with any federated instance: an attacker could just create a huge number of communities, with a large number of posts, exhausting the resources of small instances.

That's what I guess it the main reason why it works like it does now: the server only gets the content if someone is interested.

Relying on !all to have your newly created community to reach most of the people could work, but using the Scaled sort as it wouldn't have enough subscribers to push it using Hot or Active.

There is only one !newcommunities@lemmy.world, it has 15k subscribers, seems like a pretty good way to promote it.

Looking forward to it. Hopefully people will stay respectful.

People are pushing for it because they see the amount of people here as a finite number that shouldn't be spread too thin.

I'm more on the side advocating to get more people here so that we don't worry about how many communities we have on the same topic

Interesting, thanks, I didn't know you communicated this to the admins before

And even more, the Lemmy codebase doesn't really have any important developers besides the two main devs: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/graphs/contributors.

Even looking at the contributions to something like Mbin, which has been around for much shorter, you already see 6 people with more than 50 commits, while Lemmy has one

https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/graphs/contributors

That would be nice

They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel

I stand corrected!

The issue is that currently the 1-2 years used flagships have a lot of issues

• Samsung S21 and S22 have bad batteries, not even talking about Exynos if OP is based in the EU
• Pixel 6 and 7 have bad connectivity and also some battery issues
• OnePlus aren't what they used to be

That reduces quite a lot what should be the main source of used flagships

19.0 and 19.1 mostly, 19.2 fixed the issues.

65 bucks?!

!casualconversation@lemmy.world

Hello guys, just wanted to chime in and say that it's good to see you three explain things in a calm manner in this thread. Nice to see you around.

Interesting point.

On the other side, as LW is more cautious about updates, that might have suggested some users to switch to instances that were more up-to-date.

But indeed I agree that people should be more spread, having 25% of Lemmy on one instance is less than ideal: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

Migrating accounts between instances

Isn't that implemented in the 19.2 and later versions? I just migrated using that feature a few days back, worked quite well

Seems like here the number of developers comfortable in Java is a dependency

When you go to /c/books on your server, you don’t see an agglomeration of all /c/books on all servers of the fediverse. You only see that server’s /c/books, if it even has one.

What prevents from visiting /c/books@anotherserver?

Genuinely asking, because this is one of the core concepts of Lemmy and federation

Hm, Java is hated by devs, but still 2nd language on GitHub with 11,7% of the total code hosted, while Rust is number 13 with 1,8%?

https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2023/4

19.0 and 19.1 broke federation.

19.2 restored federation.

19.3, released this week, fixed an authentication issue.

Seems you are either non-functional or insecure
