  • Good job! I wonder why some of these are missing from fediverse.observer. There is an add instance page, and entering for example aussie.zone says it already exists, but the search doesnt find it. Lemmy.cafe, fosscad.io are included in the statistics (file instances/full.json.gz in the git repo), but not currently shown on the website.

    Thanks to your comment I realized that we are only showing instances with registration application on the official site, as there was concern that others would be overrun by spam bots. I had a look at it now, and instances with captcha are actually fine. Here you can see all that are newly listed on joinlemmy.

    The instance list is sorted by monthly active users with slight randomization. As these instances you mention are among the larger ones, it is expected that they show near the top. Is there a better sort method that you would suggest?

  • Follow these steps:

    • Use the nightly Docker image for Lemmy and lemmy-ui
    • Setup postgres, pictrs and nginx according to the usual 0.19 instructions
    • Specify plugins in Lemmy config (docs, example)
    • You need to specify the hash for each wasm file (check logfile for error message), or set DANGER_PLUGIN_SKIP_HASH_CHECK (not merged yet, part of the PR above)

    Let me know if this works, then I will add it to the documentation. Or better yet, make a PR yourself ;)

    Edit: Config from the test server:

     json
        
plugins: [{
  file: "https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-plugins/releases/download/0.1.3/rust_lingua.wasm",
  hash: "e1f58029f2ecca5127a4584609494120683b691fc63a543979ea071f32cf690f",
  allowed_hosts: ["0.0.0.0"]
}]

  • What exactly do you like about Alexandrite compared to the default? From what I can see:

    • Full-page layout while lemmy-ui is more centered
    • Posts open in overlay
    • Comment search, neat!
    • Card view (you can also try that on our test instance with Lemmy)
    • Anything else?

  • And private communities. As mod you need to approve every follower manually. Others cannot see any posts/comments in the community.

  • Completely agree about this, we are currently discussing it. One possible solution would be a label for the dropdown.

    We need to make some uncommon buttons (eg. show hidden posts) more hidden in the UI. While others such as switching sort type and feed type should be very prominent. So that a new user can figure out intuitively how to find good content. If any of you know about design and UX, please tell us your suggestions!

  • The biggest storage issue is images, which is 2.1TB at the moment. There is a way to clear this up a bit with some software, but it’s apparently got risk, so low down the priority list at the moment as object storage is cheap and doesn’t affect the server directly.

    Do you have image proxy enabled? Then storage grows much slower.

  • Is there any service that provide a community growth chart on lemmy?

  • You're in luck, I just modified the instance crawler on join-lemmy.org to collect statistics for all Lemmy instances. You can find them in this repo in JSON format. Now we need someone to build a tool that can visualize it. The stats could even be shown directly on join-lemmy.org.

  • Lemmy also has an admin setting like that. Additionally there will be private, federated communities available in version 1.0.

  • I made a couple of "Help Design Lemmy" posts in !lemmy@lemmy.ml recently to get feedback and ideas, which was very helpful. I will continue to make such posts to improve join-lemmy.org, and also Lemmy itself.

    Had a look at the Piefed signup now, choosing categories like that is a good idea. But the question is how these categories get curated. We have something similar with the instance topics on join-lemmy.org but no one is really helping to maintain them. So for community categories it would probably similar. In 1.0 we will have some improvements for discovery, like multi-communities and a "suggested communities" collection which can be set by local admins.

    For the Mastodon recommendation there isnt any good alternative software that I can see. So its probably best to recommend a single Mastodon instance, depending on the target audience.

  • Not everyone likes infinite scroll, but some apps such as vger.app offer it.

  • Sounds like you are specifically looking for a client focused on image browsing. In that case I would suggest linking to vger.app, phtn.app or blorp which I linked in another comment. Lemmy 1.0 will also have a card view which admins can set as default, where images are already expanded.

    see another interesting post, image to small, can’t see so I have to click – https://lemmy.ml/post/42501566

    This is only the link preview (indicated by the arrow icon), not an image post. Is the icon too small?

  • And so you decided to spread that misinformation further, instead of simply replying that it is wrong? I'm also very curious in what ways you consider Piefed's UI better than Lemmy.
