25 yo software developer. Admin of lemy.lol instance.

  • You've picked a nice name :) I'm glad you didn't choose fedipedia.

    I just created an account on open.ibis.wiki and created "Lemmy" article but it's not shown on ibis.wiki 🤔 I guess it still has a long way to go, but I think it's a nice project 👍

  • Nice post but hard to read. How about using tables?

    | head 1 | head 2 | | --- | --- | | body 1 | body 2 |

    like this:

     
        
    | head 1 | head 2 |
    | --- | --- |
    | body 1 | body 2 |
    
      

    Edit: are we sure the data is correct? For example; Lemmy.ml has 16 communities over 10k. Which are linux, memes, asklemmy, technology, worldnews, privacy, opensource, gaming, fediverse, unixporn, linux_gaming, reddit, science, lemmy, selfhost, jerboa.

  • Really? I mainly code in JS and to be honest, Java gives me C# vibes.

  • I think the definition of best programming language here is not popular and hyped but “the one I use”. I really believe Java is worse than Rust for contributors. We’ll see how it goes.

  • I don't understand those who criticize Lemmy developers. They were developing it while you were not here, I don't think they will stop just because you are leaving :)

  • You need to pass host header. But if you really want to hide your IP, you need to proxy your outgoing activities too.

  • I guess instances can choose that period if they want to. I will implement it 👍

  • It is about power. If they have more than 50% of the users, then all other instances should comply with their changes and obey them. If they don’t, then they’ll be blocked by more than half of the users. No instance owner will take this risk.

    I’m trying to explain you that you don’t really need to own something to own it. If you have enough power, you have it already.

  • You can technically create but you can never be sure that your mails will received.

    They don’t usurp the service but make it uncomfortable/unstable to you.

  • Literally this. Right now you can’t create your own mail server because big corpos like Google, Microsoft is going to make you end up in spam folder.

    Now, apply this to fediverse.

  • Thank you for the suggestions. I just created an account on jabber.hot-chilli.net and downloaded Gajim. It looks really cool!

  • I've used Matrix for months and agree with most points. I would like to try XMPP but it is clear that it does not have the best onboarding experience.

    The problem I've observed with XMPP as an outsider is the lack of a standard. Each server or client has its own supported features and I'm not sure which one to choose.

    Which client would you recommend?

  • I’ve never used XMPP. Can someone compare it with Matrix?

  • It wasn't but now it does I guess. I just searched a community didn't existed locally on my instance and I got same result as you. No votes, no comments. I think this is enough to open an issue in the Lemmy repo.

  • You need to search them to make them available to your instance. You can also use lemmony or lemmy community seeder to automate it if you care enough.

  • Yeah it is not working :) I’ll fix ir

  • Hi. I just tried it and it looks exactly same as Lemmy’s default mentions. Isn’t it working for you? I should try it I guess. @PostWatchBot

  • As it says in descriptions. Go to reddit.com/subreddits, you will find "multireddit of your subscriptions" on top of right sidebar. Right click and copy it and paste to Voyager.

    It is not automattic tho. You'll need to manually subscribe communities.
