    Also, Pixel 3 still runs great, once you strip off all the google spyware.

  • I'm not 100% sure, but my interpretation of that message is that you're waiting for the federated servers to communicate, and you can close the page.

    If nobody answers in some days, then I'd create a feature request on GitHub.

  • Suddenly my server started getting thousands of requests per minute and my varnish cache hit rate jumped to 99%. Thank god for varnish!

    Looks like the reddit blackout is #1 on the frontpage of hackernews, and this article is #2.

    I actually posted this article to hackernews, but I never got a single upvote. This isn't my first time getting on the frontpage of hackernews, but it always happens when someone else reposts my link.

    Can anyone tell me how the fuck hackernews' algorithm works to where I can't ever get traction but someone else does after me?

  • The only thing I need to improve this article is a short video demonstration showing how to find and add remote lemmy communities

    Are there any video producers on Lemmy that can help? You'll easily get thousands unique views per day if you make a short "Guide to Lemmy" video :)

  • I'm actually very surprised how high the uptime is on most of these instances.

  • Which instances should be recommended on join-lemmy.org?

    Jump

  • Honestly I'm not sure I'll stick to lemmy if the amount of content doesn't grow. And I'm sure I'm not alone. I'm here for news, and there's very little coverage of world events on lemmy (though that has already noticeably improved as our userbase grows).

    I do want lemmy to grow, but not for growth's sake. I want it to grow so the content (news article submissions and quality comments about those articles) grows.

    1. Downvotes are important to ensure quality content. It allows the community address statements made by a user based on objectively incorrect (mis)information. This feature is an important reason why many reddit users aren't on Mastodon. Also, democracy is important.
    2. Recommended Instances shouldn't wholesale block content just because it's NSFW. As you say, policy on what NSFW content is allowed is distinct from the instance enabling NSFW content.
    3. People being able to create and moderate their own communities is positive

    If an instance (eg Hexbear) wants to deviate from this, that's fine. That's what the Fediverse is all about :) But we shouldn't recommend those instances to new users as it will cause new user attrition.

  • Which instances should be recommended on join-lemmy.org?

    Jump

  • I think we should add the following criteria to instances at the VERY TOP that are recommended to new users:

    1. The instances does not define an allowed list of instances
    2. Downvotes are enabled
    3. NSFW content is allowed
    4. Users can create new communities

    ...otherwise new users (eg from reddit) are not going to use lemmy because it won't match their expectations.

    Personally, I was pretty disenchanted by my experience on lemmy when I first joined. I had to create accounts on like 5 different instances before I found one that worked (that's why I created the comparison table of lemmy instances).

    Most new users won't have that perseverance. If, for example, they see there's no downvotes on the "recommended" instance, they'll probably give up and leave lemmy.
