@dessalines:
- In light of lemmy being down for a bit due to a fire at an OVH datacenter, helped migrate lemmy to a new temporary instance.
- Added a moderator guide blurb to lemmy-docs. #38
- Working on splitting the user table. !1428
@nutomic:
- Working on federated moderation, meaning that it will be possible to have community mods who are on a different instance than the community itself (!185)
- Adjusting various federation security checks in the process
- Helped with server migration
So right now, we have a single
user_
table, that includes fields for both local users, and federated ones, which uses dummy values for things like settings (which federated users don’t really have). This is splitting them into two tables,person
(IE the person actor in activitypub lingo), andlocal_user
.Its a massive change because pretty much every table and code touches
user_id
in some way, and unfortunately there really isn’t any gain other than delineating federated users from local ones. It should make future activitypub work easier tho. I think mastodon calls theseaccounts
vsusers
.Nice. Thanks for explaining and good luck.
