I will start working on private communities soon.

Its not merged/deployed yet.

Second attempt, I removed lemmy.world from the blocklist and instead added some code to hide any instances with more than 30% of all active users.

Or even some logic to automatically exclude from the list any instance with more than x% of active users.

I posted about this in the admin chat on matrix, but you’re right the pull request was merged very quickly.

The lemmyverse link is also a good idea, but users only see it after filling in their email and password. At that point it’s unlikely that they would cancel it and go to a different website.

Edit: I’m now thinking to change the joinlemmy code so that any instance with more than x% of active users will automatically be hidden.

Right, I didn’t think how it would affect the total active user count. Will have to think of a solution for that.

@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works This. If youre interested to work on this feature or others, feel free to ask for guidance in the relevant issue, or in the dev chat.

With crypto you can make international transfers within a few minutes and only pay a few cents. Using a bank account it takes multiple days, and costs a few euros at least. For me that’s a major use case and something I do regularly.

We will soon get a new round of funding from NLnet, once that is finalized we will publish a blog post with the milestones.

I suppose this could be improved, but not sure how exactly. Afaik there is no issue about this yet, and anyway we lack development resources to implement everything. Sometimes I imagine how much we could achieve if Lemmy had 2000 employees like Reddit.

Admins are legally responsible for anything that gets posted on their server, so they require control. They also put in time and money to keep the server running.

There may be other technologies where all-powerful admins aren’t necessary, like peer-to-peer networks. But then everything gets much more complicated. No more opening a website and entering username and password, now users need to install a client first and use a private key. It’s not clear who is responsible for moderation. Scaling will be much more difficult. Users don’t want to store gigabytes of historical data on their devices, so some servers are still needed. The way Activitypub and Lemmy works is really a hybrid between normal websites which is a well-known paradigm, and p2p which is still experimental. The p2p part is only done on the server because it would be too complex otherwise.

She was also on lemmy.ml for a very short time.

There were optimizations related to database triggers, these are probably responsible for the speedup.

True there are a lot of issues related to notifications. I will see what I can do.

Here is the relevant issue, but no one is working on it currently.

Hold on the scammer could spend 8000 usd without even knowing the card’s PIN number?

No schade-throwing, but I know how much effort it took to get Lemmy ready for production. Namely multiple years of fulltime work. Sublinks seems to have only volunteer contributors, so it will likely take even more time.

Or these people could learn Rust and contribute to the existing project. That would save years of duplicated effort. I personally knew zero Rust before starting to contribute to Lemmy, its really not that hard to learn.

I was a Java developer before starting to contribute to Lemmy. Didnt know anything about Rust, just wrote code and resolved compiler errors until things worked. Rust is definitely not as hard to learn as some people think.
