The momentum of Lemmy is very impressive as of late!

Quality of posts on Reddit has nosedived over the last week.

Lemmy has beyond exceeded my expectations of quantity and quality of content. I will pass by reddit occasionally but its become clear that the Fediverse concept can actually work. It has issues that need to be solved, but the minds behind it are very smart and motivated to find a way to make it keep working. The rate of PR's getting merged into lemmy 0.18 are wild.

Enjoying the last week of Apollo, greatest app of all time!

After 3 weeks

This is quite the conundrum that the fediverse requires corporations like fastly/cachefly/cloudflare to stay afloat/responsive.

Right on! The crew that are adventurous enough to switch over to Lemmy are probably going to have fewer beginner type issues.

I’m a week into having setup my own personal instance and LOVING Lemmy. The community, the software stack, federation, all of it. I don’t visit reddit daily anymore (15 year old reddit account to be deleted this week once 3rd party apps get shut down).

Right after the CentOS -> CentOS stream debacle last year, I switched to using debian for all my lab servers/infrastructure. This news makes it seem like that was definitely the right choice.

Multi-redditscommunities

Dont buy shit you dont need.

What a fantastic but subtle way to differentiate instances

https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym or those that want to self-host

Even if it just shows the post with most activity once, links to other communities versions inside with comments. Uniqueness determined by url and or title similarity.

It’s a damn shame it’s going not free open source, I Just switched my lab over to nomad and consul last year and it has been incredibly smooth sailing.

good try bot.

I assume the sus score would remain low, it seems to be looking for high number of accounts with extremely low posts and no/open registration

For my daily driver iOS device I use invidious webui, but my mrs + kids are all fine using yattee as an app frontend to invidious.

I found double double website to be janky to download anything larger than 1gb (flac off tidal). I now use https://github.com/nathom/streamrip and haven't looked back!

I think it’s only a matter of time. I hope Lemmy/fediverse keeps up the momentum, it’s so great being off Reddit.

It is so damn refreshing seeing what is just "new" instead of what clickbait trained ai is pushing.

There is a difference between gamer girls playing horror games and professional models licking audio testing equipment for hours on end.

I am hopeful, but I am cautiously sceptical. I remember hearing about cryptocurrency taking off in 2011 and all about how it was decentralized and was immune to corruption etc and then a decade later seeing SBF types in the news.

What AMA? It was nothing more than 3-4 pre written comments that didn’t answer anything.

Painless upgrade for docker setup, congrats on the huge release! After using for a while its definitely faster!

Is the blocker here that each instance is a single postgres/Lemmy process? I imagine a clustered inplementstion of the Lemmy backend could be used to shard individual communities to dedicated containers when they reach a given size, proxies through a community away load balancer? More to manage but would let instances scale up/down as needed. There are costs associated with this, but those of us who run instances do it because we like playing this game.

The real influx of users is going to happen once proper ios / android apps arrive that can meet / exceed the bar that Apollo has set.

Sometimes you get in too deep

And at the very least, there’s a record of the discussions and thought processes behind why this was or wasn’t chosen.

Its easier to grok if you watch lemmy server logs

I despise having to run windows for blue iris.

I will do you one better, I have my instance behind 3.

WAN -> haproxy -> traefik ingress w/ letsencrypt -> Lemmy nginx -> Lemmy-ui

I can probably remove the lemmy nginx but it only uses ~10mb of ram and didn’t want my changes getting in the way when sorting federation issues(which work fine!).

This is true, It is much safer to rely on providers at the protocol layer vs the application layer.

It’s the digital equivalent of off-grid living. I love how much useful tooling I can host myself on my little cluster, and it is empowering that $megacorp can’t hold it hostage or shove hostile tracking and advertising everywhere. The Fedeverse feels much closer to the spirit of the internet in its infancy.

Mailcow includes rspamd which learns spam using bayes analysis. Just move messages to the junk folder and it learns, after a month or so of training I get very very little actual spam, and no false positives.

No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!

How does it compare to invidious? Worth switching?

Everything feels very snappy compared to 0.19.3

Thanks for the heads up, this is like the 10th time ive had to run power delete.
