  • lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month

    Jump

  • Whenever you get slowness issues let one of the infrastructure team know and we can look at it. I just fixed something out that might fix some of the issues (were still behind a bit behind on activities from lemmy.world for a bit though while that tries to catch up)

  • Consolidating AutoHotKey communities?

    Jump

  • cant add for a bit unless the user has a post or comment

    should have access to my script to do it without that soon (just in exams atm)

  • Consolidating AutoHotKey communities?

    Jump

  • I think the advantages of multiple communities outweighs the advantages of consolidating. Especially since things can be cross posted between the multiple communities easily

    No longer able to access the content is referring to the federation. And the difficult to move off is referring to for example communities that have been attempting to get traction to move off of lemmy.ml

    Not posting in the community doesn't mean people there don't interact with it. I have beehaw as an example on hand but im sure there's other federation examples

    I think its the kind of subject matter that fits programming.dev well and relying on outside instances for programming content with no mirror on our own site makes us too reliant on those other instances if anything happens in the future (e.g. extreme case but if that instance goes down. Lemmy handles it terribly since the community still exists as a ghost community with no federation but still viewable)

    With similar logic we have a lot of the same communities as lemmy.ml communities including programmer_humor, opensource, etc. To give people an alternative spot to the lemmy.ml communities and so that we aren't overly reliant on other infrastructure we can't control within our instances subject matter

  • Consolidating AutoHotKey communities?

    Jump

  • We typically dont close communities on programming.dev since then theres only one option for things

    Ends up having things like people who use the community no longer being able to access the content and being difficult for the community to move off of it if something happens

    e.g. beehaw.org is defederated from sh.itjust.works so any beehaw users wouldnt be able to use the community if the programming.dev one is closed

  • Let's discuss how to efficiently promote Lemmy to potential new joiners

    Jump

  • Ah yeah I need to refresh the data, ill do that later

  • Let's discuss how to efficiently promote Lemmy to potential new joiners

    Jump

  • Nobody reported it as down to me, I can bring it back up

    Been working on some other projects recently so havent really looked at that site much

  • Update: !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com - Coming back to the !privacy community that is not on .ml nor .world

    Jump

  • We just added a couple more people to have server access and ideally that situation wont happen again

    That problem specifially could only be reproduced on the main server so fixes couldnt be tested without taking the entire site down and at some point after the 0.19.5 upgrade (when the issue happened) it became too late to roll the server back since there was too many activities that came in but if it happens again after an upgrade we would roll back pretty much instantly)

    dbzer0 does seem like a better option for general privacy discussion though

  • Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities

    Jump

  • I looked at the community list in programming.dev (from https://programming.dev/communities) sorted by active users per month and noted down the instances for the top 100 communities

    its using google sheets

    going to recount with lemm.ees community list in a sec since theyre federated with hexbear

  • Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities

    Jump

  • Manually counted communities in the top 100 per instance and threw it into another pie chart (for active users / month)

    This also seems to be different than the results gotten from lemmyverse as the lemmyverse data hasnt been updated in 11 days according to that site

    A bunch of instances gained or lost some coms in the top 100 from variance of things happening in the last week

    (the eight instances that it decided to not give labels to that have 1 community are feddit.uk, lemmy.zip, beehaw.org, lemdro.id, ttrpg.network, lemmy.wtf, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz)

    edit: updated graph to be more accurate users/month counts

  • Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities

    Jump

  • Seems like lemmyverse doesnt have the instance listed at all for some reason, assuming a crawling issue. I reported it on their repository. Would be new since I remember it showing the instance before

    You can check in https://programming.dev/communities that programmer humor has way more active users than most communities here

  • Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities

    Jump

  • .ml and hexbear have been around much longer than the other instances so have built up more subscribers

  • Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities

    Jump

  • Surprised I dont see programming.dev in the data, we definitely have at least 3 communities in the top 100 (programmer_humor, programming, linux)

  • Its semi broken currently and also functions on a whitelist with this community not being on the whitelist

  • What do you want to have in a Lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • Programming.dev one is currently stuck on the last version we can upgrade to (and looks like lemmings and reddthat as well) since any upgrades just makes photon a white screen due to the tooling upgrade

  • any fediverse account will work. Itll allow you to log in when it opens

  • These mods on their power-trips really need to stop

    Jump

  • Yeah lemmy currently doesn't send notifications about moderation actions

    Some mod teams add it in through manually dming (which usually will happen here if someone on the admin team is warning, banning, etc. you (apart from site bans which the user wouldn't be able to access their messages from) and its not just an obvious spammer or bot) or code their own systems to notify about actions

    Everything's viewable in the modlog though and you can filter by yourself to see all actions made relating to you

  • Discoverability of communities across instances

    Jump

  • Even with the disabled instances, communities that get added onto there reach a much larger section of people than external community browsers do as casual users that just check the site once a day or something and don't pay attention to external sites can still stumble on them without knowing the federate site exists or needing to know explicit community names

    Ideally more instances would get added onto there but its still fine like this. Been getting some nice interactions and starting activity on new programming.dev communities
