Interesting! Look's really cool

 

Hey! We're still here. Just been busy, still checking and resolving reports though. The image server was fixed but unfortunately we are now experiencing email delivery issues, so be aware of that. We will likely need to switch to an SMTP service soon.

Hope everyone is doing well :)

Things seem to be working otherwise. But it's... yeah. I'll take a look as I can but yeah. If you upload images just use imgur I guess. 🤔

Images on remote instance should show up just fine though :-)

 

Heya, I'm still here. Still working on things in the background and been quite busy. Right now the instance server needs some updates and the pictures backend is a little wonky. Gonna take the instance down for a bit presumably sometime tomorrow for some (hopefully) quick spring cleaning.

 

I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.

 

I got a few, but mainly just stuck to the library.

 

They seem to be primarily linked to a nostr relay right now, but knowing them I doubt theyll stay allowlist only for long.

Immediately defederated cause fuck that shit.

I think building such a system of some kind that can allow smaller instances to rely from help from larger instances would be extremely awesome.

Like, lemmy has the potential to lead the fediverse is safety tools if we put the work in.

Sorry for the English post, but there's been more than one?!

Speaking as someone actively building niche focused communities (literature.cafe for books and writing & lemmyloves.art for art) this kind of defeatist attitude saddens me. Community's don't explode over night. I fully get that community discovery is hard as hell right now though with lemmy, and attempts are being made to fix it. But with the communities that do exist, it's a matter of participating and starting conversations if you don't see one you want to participate in. On a new and emerging platform like this, you really can't be a lurker. Posting, commenting, engagement, and likes is the only currency here.

The thing with lemmy is that it does feel like screaming into the void sometimes, but you also have the benefit of a smaller community to have more focused discussions. Quality over quantity is the focus here rather than the mess that reddit had. Reddit has tons of content but a large portion of that is just noise and spam, it is much more preferable to have a high quality post once a day with an engaging and thoughtful discussion than a community filled with low quality spam most of the time and only one high quality post a day that's nearly impossible to find.

What interests do you have that aren't found here? Some tiny niche interest communities are being built, you sometimes just gotta find em

In the future everything is chrome

100%

I think it can provide a basis for understanding the appropriate level of emotional intimacy that a child craves from a parental figure as well give some good insight into the ways parents emotions affect their kids both in the moment and long term.

Absolutely, literally just swap instances. Hopefully instance migration comes in a similar way that mastodon offers.

What in the hell?

Lemmy.world admins, I am truly asking you to please reflect on how bad this looks. It honestly makes you seem like you can't handle criticism and if people get that vibe they will use it to absolutely fuck with you. I know from my own personal experience. I understand that you're volunteers but this is a step in a very bad direction that will only serve to cause more issues.

The "ight I'm out" ban note was.... hm. Not a great look. Comes across as petty and vindictive.

Thank you. It is appreciated.
