Now what if… I ask for people’s opinions on something that happens to be a Lemmy technical question

Same with phone calls

There is a BB forum frontend for Lemmy that replicates that phpBB forum style. Saw it mentioned in a few comments.

+1 for fountain pens!

Same story here. Gacha games are the worst.

I’m liking it a lot.

Interesting. I was able to find a few big Lemmy communities on Mastodon. But I couldn’t find my tiny instance community.

I wonder what I need to do to get my own instance to federate with Mastodon?

Thinking of the sync/federation speed. I saw your post here on !asklemmy@lemmy.ml maybe 10 mins after you posted it. So maybe the post synced over very quickly before I scrolled past it.

Setup with docker is easy.

Performance is fantastic compared to the issues the most popular instances are having today.

Community syncing occurs in the background and is available to you through local instance. I don’t know exactly how fast federated info syncs over, but seems reasonably fast in the last day I’ve played with it. For images, I think your client pulls the images from the original post link or original instance. Not really sure about that TBH.

HA is on you to set up.

Updates by docker should be easy moving to the latest image. However, there could be extra steps to update database structure. We’ll have to see how that goes.

Yes I’m posting this through my own instance using wefwef app.

How does Void Linux rate on the security and privacy front compared to the top recommendations in this thread?

I also demand answers. Should I be able to see Mastodon posts via my Lemmy/wefwef?

Sticky toffee pudding

Well metrics can be made up based on existing tracking data. Like comment length, upvotes, replies, etc.

IMO long term Lemmy needs to move away from upvotes as a measure of interest and activity. That’s too easy to manipulate.

Perhaps comment activity and interaction metrics would be better.

Hilarious and true

2023 USA death rate is 9.172/1000 so I guess that lines up.

Wowza

It looks like my comments go out and are federated almost instantly. But syncing up all the content in the communities I’ve subbed to is definitely behind the main instance.

I think the communities stuck in “Subscribe Pending” are the issue. Probably some backlog holding everything else up.

I setup my own instance. Performance is must better than the big instances, but looks like propagation of all the federated content is a bit slow.

Hopefully updates to Lemmy improve the syncing.

Hmmm
