I created a space for people to make connections and learn from each other. I call it Grok.Town and plan to start up a Lemmy instance at that domain, but for now it's a space on Matrix with a few rooms to chat and get to know one another. Check it out @ https://matrix.to/#/#groktown:matrix.org

Submitting PRs is literally the most effective response that helps everyone who uses Lemmy. Thanks to you all.

They are fine with being a small community. They aren't interested in growth for growth's sake. They existed for 18 months with around 200 members and were content with that continuing indefinitely. They aren't against growth, they simply don't value it highly.

How do you feel about posts about how people feel?

It's easier not to look at when you know where it's prohibited from being posted.

The crazy part is that they want to be able to view and comment on other instances’ posts but not vice versa

Where did you get this idea from? They won't be able to interact with other instances from Beehaw. They clearly don't want to based on this action.

@ruud@lemmy.world Are there any answers to this?

FYI: https://lemmy.ml/c/learningrustandlemmy

Maybe @SorteKanin@feddit.dk would be interested in helping people there.

Ironically, this response seems very relevant to this post.

That doesn't seem accurate.

In that scenario, if a Beehaw account "follows" an account on a limited server, they would be able to interact as normal.

Good luck.

That horrible domain name isn't going to help attract contributors.

I wish I could change the default comment sorting

The funny thing is that https://lemmy.world/c/hockey has more subscribers, but I was the only person to add content.

How much cost are you to lemmy.world? Are you planning to track it and pay for it?

How much cost is it to lemmy.world to federate with another instance? Are they going to keep track of it and send out invoices?

This free-loading complaint rings hollow.

They want to act on an individual basis. They can't do that while federated with large, open registration instances.

There are a number of iOS apps being developed right now. A few are taking inspiration from Apollo for the UI

You're more likely to see it in a third-party interface. The list of fixes and features the developers are working on is long and there are more fundamental issues to address first. It's also a volunteer effort with essentially two people doing the work.

What?

Those are "new" comments.

I do like this too.

I want to point out that the "new" sort for comments, however, only takes into account the top level comments. So it may be hard to see the actual newest comments on a post that has aged a bit.

I put in an issue about it on GitHub dut it's gotten no traction at all.

To show up in your all listing, a post must be:

  • from an instance that your instance is federated with and has not blocked
  • from a community that someone on your instance is subscribed to
  • from a community you haven't blocked
  • from an account you haven't blocked

Full text of the bill is linked to in the Senate Appropriations Committee Press Release

I don't think this is the post you were trying to reply to

Not all work is unwanted. I want the communities I moderate to thrive and reports can help with that.

I'm one of the few that would be interested in the table.

This makes perfect sense.

I think what they wanted to do was block lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works users from posting in their communities, which would be possible with a pretty simple bot.

But they don't have that bot. It doesn't exist. Why do you assume that they can make this bot?

This is way better than what else is out there

How are new communities added?

I wish they would have chosen to use software to maintain threading in comments and I'm not sure that really Discourse gamifies it's posts. After a quick look at the interface of myBB, I can say that I personally prefer Discourse. But I think non-accelrated-time-decaing forums are way better than Reddit for things like a project hub. I think what I liked about having many of my interests in on Reddit was the context switch for a topic often didn't require a context switch in interface to benefit from the network effect of many people participating in the topic.

But at the end of the day, knowing where to get quality assistance and casual discussion about a topic or project is all I'm after. Reddit has been a place to find what I was after, oftentimes as a signpost to find where people are gathering. And now the threadiverse is providing that function much better and sooner than I expected despite its many shortcomings.

Alright

Fun fact, this is a feature of Lemmy:

  • Lemmy has an undisclosed password limit of 60 characters.
  • Lemmy's signup form will silently truncate passwords longer than 60 characters to 60 characters.
  • Lemmy's login form will crash when passwords longer than 60 characters are submitted.

Someone please submit a PR

The 500 character limit is why I rarely use my fosstodon account. Maybe I'll spin up my own instance. Although I said that about akkoma and I haven't tried to spin that up.
