  • How do we deal with similar communities on different Lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • Definitely early days teething issues. There's gonna be thousands of dead communities in a week's time and it'll take time before things settle down and people come to a consensus on the major ones.

  • What niche reddit community do you want to see find a place on the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Did you change the search options from "Communities" to "All"?

  • What's the term for Lemmy users?

    Jump

  • All of the more fediverse-focused ones (fedditors, fedinauts, feddies, fedizens, etc) are definitely better. Lemmy is bigger than just Lemmy: we have users from Mastodon, Kbin and more seeing and replying to our posts. Let's choose a name that reflects that :)

    Also, just to prove a point, if you're here from anywhere not Lemmy, say hello!

  • Maybe you could poke the admins over on https://pathfinder.social/ to make a community for that. They're still in the process of setting up shop

  • lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead

    Jump

  • Nope, none at all. A signed off user is one that's not causing server load :P

  • I hear you man. I went from active contributor to mostly lurking on Reddit, and it wasn't even a conscious choice. Gradually, everything became very mechanistic. I knew what the top few comments would be before going to the comments. The churn became cyclic in nature.

    After just a few days here, it was actually a little disconcerting how antagonistic and hostile people there are in the comments section. That's just how people communicate, on a hair-trigger from flamewar.

    I recognize your username, I saw what you wrote about SQL scaling. Can you imagine recognizing a username in a major subreddit in the reddit of today?

    The dichotomy between the big communities which people subscribe to from all over Lemmy and the small meta/announcement/server issue communities for each individual instance is gonna be interesting to see develop as the userbase increases. Kinda like the difference between seeing people from your street everyday, then many more less familiar people in the city center.

  • Any way to get a Lemmy Interface like old.reddit or HN?

    Jump

  • It's an open issue on their github. The main devs are way too busy to deal with it. I'm trying to grok as much Rust & Psql knowledge as I can to be able to contribute, but it'll take a while. Anybody with Rust & Psql knowledge can contribute, the devs are open to any contribution to improve the platform

  • How has ur lemmy experience been so far?

    Jump

  • That's because they're different things in the fediverse.

    Lemmy upvotes are mapped to ActivityPub upvotes

    Kbin upvotes are mapped to ActivityPub boosts (basically a retweet in twitter language)

    This also means that Kbin users have to be much more careful with what they "upvote" as that causes the post/comment to be shown to everyone that follows them in the wider fediverse. They are looking to change this if I recall correctly, and there's a lot of communication between the devs of Lemmy and Kbin on how to approach both this issue, and unifying their API system so apps can work for both.

  • I might try install an instance on my website and try to make a merge function

    Awesome! I'm trying to get my feet wet with contributing as well. I don't know Rust or Psql very well (although I am an experienced MySQL/MariaDB admin) so it's gonna take a while for me to catch up enough to be useful. I'm trying though :P

  • Federation issues

    Jump

  • It still helps a lot because most of the load is coming from serving up the feed. Just federating the data to another server is much lighter than serving up everything via the instance's website.

  • lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead

    Jump

  • Well, I've moved out until this dies down. Leaving my lemmy.ml account inactive and living here for a while :)
