Interesting but potentially useful feature. I'll have to think about where to squeeze it in :)

  1. In order for an instance to follow a community in another instance, both must be registered in lemmy-federate.

  2. If an instance has the "auto add" feature enabled, newly created communities will be added automatically within 1 to 5 minutes. This process is automatic. No action is required from an admin/moderator/user. You can see this from instances page.

  3. If "auto add" is not enabled, any user can add that community manually. If not added, lemmy-federate will not work for that community.

Off topic, no need to apologize this much :)

I tried it and it works as of now. But it could be timeout, rate limit or something else. I'm thinking of showing the errors on the management page (or with Grafana). I created a task for this. Then you can see what kind of problem you're having.

Lemmy Federate doesn't do anything special. It searches and follows communities just like normal users do. The only difference is that it does this from every (registered) instance, for almost every community. The reason I didn't explain it in more detail is that it has evolved into an admin tool rather than a user tool. Generally, admins know what this tool is for.

However, I can explain a few things that will be useful for you outside of the "All" tab:

Discoverability

Lemmy Federate enhances community discoverability by allowing users to search communities from their instance. Instead of relying on an external site, you can discover new communities while staying within the context of your own instance.

Crossposts

Let's say that technology@lemmy.world is federated in your instance, but technology@lemmy.ml is not. In this case, you won't see crossposts from technology@lemmy.ml sharing the same link as technology@lemmy.world.

Initial post count

When a community is pulled for the first time, only a certain number of recent posts are pulled with it. If you are the first to follow a community you are interested in from your instance, you will not be able to see all posts from that community.

I created this tool and have been using it in my instance since the very beginning. My instance is almost 2 years old and it’s total database size is 60.2GB.

The thing is:

  • If a community is generating enough activity, it’s likely that someone from your instance is already following that community.
  • If a community isn’t generating enough activity, it won’t create much of a network/storage burden anyway.

Sure, it will make a small difference, but it’s nothing compared to the benefits it provides.

TBH Toastify is not that awesome.

 

Generic Threadiverse support

Thanks to @rikudou@lemmings.world's contribution (#28), Lemmy Federate now supports all software types that implements group federation such as PieFed, NodeBB, Guppe 🎉

But unfortunately, not everything is perfect. Since there is no Fediverse standard for verifying whether a user is an admin, I have to register admins manually. I am also considering manually approving instances that are not guaranteed in Fediseer against spam attacks. Please contact me for this.

Note: Lemmy and Mbin works as before.

Top instances of Lemmy

With the addition of Lemmy.ml, the top 25 largest instances on Lemmy now use Lemmy Federate (except slrpnk.net). I think we can now consider that we have fixed the accessibility issue that was the reason I created this tool. Even if we didn't fix it, at least we band-aided it :)

Instance blocking feature

In addition to the allow list, a block list has been added.

  • If you allow at least one instance, you will not follow any other instances.
  • If you block an instance, you will continue to follow instances other than those you blocked.

Dedicated community

I didn't want to open it before, but now that we are trying to be compatible with more software, I believe a dedicated community could be useful. That's why I created a community here !lemmyfederate@lemy.lol. If I make an update from now on, I'll probably post it there.

The price seems pretty good. I don't really know much about mini PCs. Do you think there is a better alternative?

Update: ok, not price efficient. Noted 👍

 

cross-posted from: https://lemy.lol/post/31616900

I currently have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I want to switch to an Android phone.

First of all, I eliminated all Chinese phones. Since Samsung has limited custom rom support, I gave up on that too. At the end, I decided to get a Pixel because of its GrapheneOS support.

But right now I'm stuck between Pixel 8 and 9. There's a big price difference with small improvements. I can afford both but not sure if Pixel 9 is worth it. What do you think?

 

I tried SD once and it was pretty good. It was a bit difficult, of course. Now I want to try image generation again. Do you still think I should use SD or a different tool?

Donationware: you must donate to use it. Not like regular optional donates.

[–] iso@lemy.lol 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Another reason to not use ccTLDs.

[–] iso@lemy.lol 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I guess, unfortunately, I was right 😐

[–] iso@lemy.lol 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

I'm talking about possibilities. I get it. Domain could be blocked by registrar, host could be banned by hoster, IDK maybe he got DDOS.

But the thing is, what happened to the donation pages? Did everyone decided to ban this guy at the same time? Also he didn't even send a message about situation. Not on Lemmy, Matrix nor Reddit.

I shouldn't have been accused something like this tho. You are right about that. There is still a possibility that I'm pathetic :)

[–] iso@lemy.lol 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (7 children)

It may be about he didn’t wanted to transfer current donations.

Update: it’s not a fact. I’m just guessing here. Not related with reality.

[–] iso@lemy.lol 1 points 2 years ago

Code base is shit. We’re not doing what we’re promising or any close of it. We’re probably going to bankrupt in a year or two.
