  • Yeah, I definitely agree that open communities was/is a mistake. If a server is that large, it should be admin only. They can always run polls to gauge interest before making new communities.

    Communities are the biggest problem. One solution would be to make community names more like a federation signature that only allows one community to have that exact name. Example: if lemmy.world has a community called !AITA, and you try to make a community on beehaw with the same !AITA name, it would not allow it and say “sorry that community name has already been registered by another instance”.

    Of course, the major issue with this idea is that one could defederate with lemmy.world, in this example, and make the community name anyway, then refederate. Who would keep the name? That’s why I don’t think this solution is ideal, but it’s fun to share ideas and something to think about.













  • I’m totally with you. I feel as lemmy develops, we’ll start to get more QoL. I’ve been having the same issue with not being able to post comments on random posts, and I have my own self hosted instance. I think it has something to do with the instance the content is hosted on being overloaded? Not sure how the backend works, truly.

    What would also be kinda neat, is if I could eventually transfer my instance over to a kbin instance. I quite like the idea of being able to track my thoughts and experiences via microblogging, and I’m not sure if I want to have a seperate mastodon account for that.

    Homer’s Triple Bypass. Got it. I’m making a list of episodes to pay extra attention to, as recommended by ya’all here on lemmy. Great recommendations so far.






  • Mine was good! Spent the week working my first few shifts with my new raise in effect. Felt good to be doing the same job but making more money! This weekend I was pulling my hair out trying to get my Lemmy instance set up but I got it done and have been spending my Sunday enjoying it! Overall, pretty successful week. Can’t wait for my next paycheck.
