  • Lemmy puts up full-page advertisements for donations but a lot of that funding goes to running Lemmy.ml and seemingly only very little to actual code development.

    Please stop spreading misinformation. The server for lemmy.ml only costs ~70€ per month which is only 2% of the total donation amount (3336€). With Lemmy we care a lot about writing high-quality and bug-free code as well as offering a good user experience. All of that takes time to do well.

    Edit: For your information, only donations via Opencollective pay for lemmy.ml hosting. All other donation methods are exclusively paying for developer salaries.







  • Distinguish as moderator is only for comments, while feature is only for posts. Both of these are similar but different. I suppose we could rename “distinguish” to “feature” as well?

    For mod actions there is a simple api response field can_mod, and its always false if the other user is a higher ranking mod or admin. We dont distinguish between can_remove, can_feature etc because that would get too complicated.





  • Thats because a too long username will make the update query fail, but we are updating errors from that specific query. Otherwise there would be errors all the time from empty update queries. Not a big problem imo, making profile import from 0.19 work perfectly would be too much effort.

    Here is the change to reduce max displayname length. As you can see existing names are truncated.

    I went through all your replies in this thread (at least the ones in my notifications) and open issues or made fixes for them. Thanks for your effort! I hope you will do more testing once we publish the next beta version.
