Thanks for the advice!
Maybe I’m wrong, but you would be fetching the content from all the other instances. The other instances would only need to fetch your content if someone searches for the communities you created. So, if you mostly post and comment on existing communities, the other instances wouldn’t have to do any extra work.
It’s like r/The_Donald but on the opposite end of the political spectrum
This is what the devs are saying: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977#issuecomment-1584337286
I don’t want to argue, so I’ll end it here.
You can fight for a better implementation, sure. Of course I would not be against that! I just personally fail to see the real issue with the way things are now on a public platform.
and that’s a feature haha
What about The Internet Archive? Search engines cache? Copies made by other people? etc.
This is a public platform; don’t share things you don’t want to be shared. You can’t truly expect anything being deleted forever everywhere.
The community here is much better IMHO
Much less toxic (I’m not talking about lemmygrad)
I don’t understand this question. This is a public platform, there are no secret messages or info. What do you mean by privacy? Hide what from whom?
See one of the two devs’ essays here for his political views: https://github.com/dessalines/essays
Having said that, you’re free to join a different instance (like the one I’m commenting from), if you have issues with that. I haven’t personally noticed anything actually problematic though.
Edit: quick answer -> definitely not neo-nazis, and probably not relevant either
Impossible to say now, but definitely quite a lot of them are not going to be regular users. I still hope/believe the majority will stay though.
I don’t think so. What kind of sorting are you using that pushes things down so quickly? New?
Anyway, I guess you could use the RSS feed…
I don’t think so.
Workarounds for desktop usage:
I really love the positive and accepting energy I’m seeing around here! 🙌
Super cool, thanks
If you want to use it just for yourself (thus removing the load of your own usage from the other public instances), sure.
If you intend to open it up for many users, you need to consider whether you’re capable of managing that kind of load. Lemmy is relatively lightweight though.
On my post here, you can find some informations about other people running an instance in the comments.
giga chad
Did it work though?
I find Discord extremely chaotic and disorienting for searching and referencing old information. I despise this trend of moving all types of discussion to Discord.
nah, this is better
As long as you make it clear in the sidebar, I think it’s perfectly fine IMHO
It’s not even that selfish because surprisingly you might even find a few people who like your content and subscribe! Lol
