I like that a lot too.

Looks great!

Make sure you open up some PRs for these if you haven’t already.

Great news! Have them get in touch with us if they’d like to get started creating their own app, or contributing to the existing ones.

I can verify that although the capthas here in lemmy are privacy safe, they unfortunately do not prevent bots. The only thing that has proven to eliminate them, is registration applications.

They take load off of servers, help with decentralization, create local cached versions of content that could be resurrected if necessary.

The sends might be… but keeping rooms of hundreds of active users open, much more difficult.

No probs!

It’s our top priority rn.

We’d love to have you if you can spare the time! But ya make sure you can manage the load on blahaj first.

Yep. In lemmy ui, not in jerboa yet.

We’re about 80% done with a big rework of the UI to switch from websockets to http. This should solve most of the stability and performance issues of both the front and back end.

Another thing:

We do need more site admins to help us handle the applications and moderation.

For obvious reasons, we prefer ppl who have been here for a long time, and post / comment consistently. If you’d like to help us out, so that nutomic and I can focus on coding, that would be splendid.

Single user instances are really great for the health of the network too.

Unfortunately not, its written far native android, in jetpack compose.

It should, clicking into a post is what it counts as reading it. Voting or commenting is a separate action.

Make sure yall open issues (specific ones please, not a ton in one issue), on the lemmy-ui github. Otherwise they’ll likely get lost, and people won’t be able to work on them easily.

For whatever reason, every time the word “telemetry” gets mentioned, in any subreddit (but programming ones especially) a TON of microsoft defenders come out to say how keyloggers are actually a good thing now.

They aren’t, and they’ve never been necessary.

I agree. Single person instances are really good for the health of the fediverse. If people can, and want that level of control, they should.

One of my side projects is https://torrents-csv.ml , which is backed by a collaborative git repo of popular torrents. I do monthly scrapes, and found that A LOT of these torrents have no seeders anymore, even ones listed on 1337x and other popular ones.

Ya its off by default.

Thx!

This is why I’m personally not a fan of removing downvotes. No one really has been able to answer why upvotes need no comment to back them up, but downvotes for some reason always need a justification.

Many trolling comments, or some comments we just disagree staunchly with, should be downvoted, and no one should be required to write an explanation for that.

The other reason, is that all the big tech companies (except for reddit), have removed the dislike button. To me that signals that they don’t want it to be known that some positions are wildly unpopular.

On twitter the only indicator of “dislike” now, is being “ratio’d”: having more comments than favorites, which of course they prefer because it drives up engagement, since no one can just downvote and move on. It also makes some reactionary positions (like being anti-trans for instance), seem much more popular than they really are.

Glad to have you!

Open an issue in lemmy-ui if you would.

Probably stability issues, we’ve been getting hugged to death these last few days for sure.

I’m super excited too!

My main fear, is that people will just accept reddit’s APIs going down, and go back to reddit anyway. It happened with twitter: a lot of the people who wanted to migrate to mastodon, left after a few days and went back to twitter, even with all of the shitstorms it has.

If reddit is to be believed, I think >80% of their users use the official web app and mobile app. That’s shocking considering how bad both are, and shows that a lot of people just accept it because that’s where the users are.

No one wants to 😞 . I have over 90 github notifications alone in the span of several days, each of them requiring at least 5 minutes of response or investigation. I just want to code.

Okay I so want to try this now.

We’ve kind of grown used to having terrible interactions on the internet, mainly because US big tech companies tacitly encourage it. They love rage-inducing content, because it keeps their users engaged, and spending more time on the site. We can def do better :)

I did teach myself android / jetpack-compose so I could develop it, being mainly a rust / typescript dev myself.

We could dev use help pretty much everywhere along the lemmy stack tho, the back end, lemmy-ui, more apps, more web uis, etc. Glad to have you!

I think it’s fine to use the crosspost button to post to multiple communities, especially while they’re still small, and we’re not sure which ones have the most activity.

If I had 3 more of me, I’d build a cross-platform desktop app for lemmy using the rust gui framework iced.

If that’s just a single site, then it could develop all the same centralization issues that started this mess.

It’s why we always link to join-lemmy.org , and not any single instance when recommending lemmy.

Same for me, but I’ve started using fulguris on android. I think it just uses the android webrenderer unfortunately, but it is open source.

We don’t embed any analytics / tracking into the lemmy software. We do give an option for server admins to insert scripts into the UI, but we’ve chosen not to do that on this instance.

How does it work? I’d love to not have to buy oat milk anymore, but I’ve never had good results trying to make it at home.

The best way, would be to create a “reddit mirror instance”.

Most people prefer the content on their lemmy servers to come organically from real people, so a bot-only instance that people could block if they like, would work best.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Sites like twitter, FB, reddit, youtube, for whatever reason always push the most rage-inducing content to their front pages. I guess it helps with “engagement”, and they see it as a positive that people spend more time on their sites… regardless of the psychological consequences of having users angry.

Twitter especially, could just ruin my whole day, with the content it pushes to everyone’s feeds. They really don’t care about our psychological well-being, at all. Standard short-term capitalist thinking.

While I personally never downvote anyone for disagreeing, I don’t think it’s possible, or desirable, to try to create rules around how people use their preference buttons.

But I def suggest going into your settings and hiding vote scores, as that’s psychologically better for most people.
