That’s probably true, but if the satire is annoying in its own right, I’m not going to indulge it either lol

Reddit died for y’all’s sins.

Well, it’s gonna cause a few more unfortunately, I think, because there are definitely some bugs in 0.18.1-rc.1

Yeah and captcha got yanked out again. I understand they needed to get it out the door, I just don’t see the argument for removing captcha when it appeared to be doing at least some good in preventing bots 🤷

v0.18 final was released pretty much as you were commenting in here.

It’s pretty bad, if your instance is missing comments and posts from another instance, they’re going to be missing the comments indefinitely unless back filling is ever added to the protocol or unless users do what you’re doing to manually pull comments and posts in. I think we’ll see some federation improvements on the next major version of Lemmy after v0.18, but it’s probably going to be shitty and unreliable until then. My personal instance is basically unusable right now.

I think it’s a “no for now”, but Ruben has reserved a community over here just in case.

This sounds like one of those deals where the picture orientation is being determined by metadata that may be getting stripped when you post. I would file an issue on GitHub and include a sample image, if possible.

That’s interesting. I’m guessing here, but is that because votes from blocked servers aren’t federated? I feel like having different vote totals depending on which server you’re on is a little strange, but maybe it makes sense 🤷

Looks like somebody has, but no posts for 2 years lol

Ick, keep my Twitter-like services and Reddit-like services apart lol. And unless I’m compelled with a strong real life reason, it’s Fediverse socials or bust for me going forward, I think.

Quick, we need to get the /r/wallstreetbets folks in here to tell us how not to read it!

I’m pretty certain this is a bug and one that’s going to be resolved soon if I’m reading the github PR’s and commits correctly.

Did I miss the boat on “Chad” becoming a compliment? Lol

In the future, there’s nothing that says you or anyone else can’t create accounts on a few of the large instances and subscribe to communities on your own instance to make this link happen!

Tone policing is classist

Apologies if this is something that you think should be obvious to anyone, but I’m genuinely curious what you mean by “classist” here.

I occasionally encounter assholes from all walks of life and prefer to avoid them all the same. I’m actively in favor of reasonable moderation on social media sites to filter assholes out because it’s better for my mental health.

Nobody’s saying we can’t have differences of opinion and disagreements. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable that we should be expected to engage respectfully or not at all. This is a standard that should be applied equally to all. It’s difficult to do, but we should also strive to hold people we otherwise generally agree with on principle accountable if they’re being aggressive/hostile/antagonistic because, at best, they’re being a bad advocate of our own positions and, at worst, they’re being an asshole.

I’m by no means a database expert, but based off what you’re describing for point #1, it sounds like Lemmy could really use more caching of query results, especially for expensive queries (like, presumably, calculating the Hot score). I feel like this should be done on a periodic basis, if possible, rather than with every page view. I’m also not sure the entire database re-indexing every hour makes sense, but again, I’m by no means an expert.

And then the Apollo dev proceeded to packet sniff the official app and found their API call usage to be something like 50% higher than his own lol. The gaslighting by Reddit is another layer of insult on top of the already insulting price for API requests.

Maybe the difference is the fact that Dessalines is directly involved in the Lemmy project. Maybe that makes it self promotion in the Apollo dev’s eyes? 🤷
