  • You're right, and even the Lemmy devs get this wrong in the docs:

    You can upvote posts that you like so that more users will see them, or downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

    Note that it doesn't talk about the quality or appropriateness of the comment, just that you can suppress it by downvoting.

  • Ok, so Lemmy doesn't cause the same amount of duplication, but I'd still argue that dedupe is valuable: it saves on hosting costs (your costs, in this case) and users will get a small advantage in having slightly higher cache hits.

  • Yes, for example go to https://infosec.exchange/explore

    I see the top post as https://infosec.exchange/@nocontexttrek@mastodon.social/113433063621462027 and the image is https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/cache/media_attachments/files/113/433/063/582/671/258/original/71da3801e4e4f08c.png

    The link is to the original on https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/433/062/676/773/993/original/f828afef5cc7ed1c.png but when you click image the javascript loads a modal with the local cached version (same image as the thumbnail that infosec.exchange loads.

    There's lots of different codebases across the fediverse so perhaps some hotlink, but local copies is the default.

  • I think the major advantage is the deduplication - when an image goes viral across Mastodon (or Lemmy) it's currently stored hundreds or thousands of times, each with its own cost. Do you dedupe (for either your customers' benefit or your own)?

  • The botsin.space Mastodon server shutting down is sad news, it's a pretty important server and if you didn't like bots it was handy that you could just block one server and block loads of them at once.

  • Writing an article on the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular. What are your thoughts?

    Jump

  • leaving Mastodon out to try

    While it's clear what's meant from the context, I've never heard this idiom. Do you mean "hanging Mastodon out to dry"?

    Drop in the bucket sounds weird to me too, but a quick check shows that it's the US version of drop in the ocean.

  • There are no bugs in Lemmy. Only happy accidents.

    Jump

  • This is some weird throwback. Back when Lemmy was using web sockets (before Reddit blocked third-party apps) there was a bug where a page would update with different content, but replies would go to the original post (iirc), but it was fixed ages ago.

  • I wonder if they remember me

    Jump

  • It took me a bit to recognise that as describing "effete". I don't think you found the best definition - the main way it's used today is affected, overrefined, and effeminate.

  • Their app and website are both atrocious. I've got a rant somewhere on Lemmy about once time it made me scream with impotent rage over the UX experience, and I'm someone comfortable with editing the DOM/scripting to fix the worst of it.

  • I can see it from the three medium/small instances I just tried.

    Also, is typigraphy a typo (typi?) or its own thing?
