No that is absolutely expected, but the pandemic has been over for a long time.

After so many years you are still wearing covid masks and doing tests? For me the last time I wore a mask was almost two years ago, and only because I visited another country where it was still mandatory.

I pay around 80€ per month for the lemmy.ml server, plus a few euros for image hosting and domain. So that’s around 3 cents per active user.

I would be happy to give an interview, but so far no media seems particularly interested in Lemmy.

We created Lemmy from the very start with federation in mind. But it was always meant to be a Reddit alternative, which means community focused. I don’t see any reason to add user following when that’s already supported by a dozen other Fediverse platforms, and would only dilute our main focus. I believe in the Unix philosophy: do one thing and do it well.

Not sure what more you want to read, but Dessalines and me do AMAs once in a while where we answer all sorts of questions. You can find them in !announcements@lemmy.ml.

And I don’t work on Jerboa, you have to open an issue for this if there isn’t already.

Gern geschehen!

Dont forget 4: Lemmy was created by a German (me)

The RFC is merged now!

https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs/blob/main/0004-post-tags.md

Well someone has to write the code.

There is no need for any “green light”, if there was a problem with the rfc we would have said so from the beginning. From what I can tell the rfc is not completed yet, and when it’s completed someone still needs to step up to implement it. Even my own rfc which was finished months ago is still not merged and not implemented.

I wonder where they are taking this information from. This seems to be the cited European Union’s climate change monitoring service, but there is no such news item from July 8.

I can definitely say that this June was much colder than usual here in the north of Spain Spain. Lots of rain and low temperatures, it seems that summer is starting 1-2 months later than usual (similar to last year).

Those are pretty common opinions. It’s sad that some people cannot accept them.

But yeah, the moderation tools have to be the worst. Lemmy has an amazing development group that’s separate from the main developers who have patched together a good set of tools, from automods to CSAM and illegal scanning, huge props to them - but these issues are routinely ignored by the main devs. I was shocked, honestly shocked that when we were under CSAM attacks that there was not an immediate roundtable of the head devs to try to solve the problem officially. Here was a problem that 99% of countries would immediately and gladly throw us, the instance admins, in jail over and they just handwaved it away. In fact, I don’t know that there was ever an official post about it, or even that there are things coming to help with it.

My impression at the time was that admins were handling the CSAM wave just fine with existing mod tools and through Matrix chats. A roundtable wouldnt have solved anything except make people feel good. Besides we still were extremely busy at the time to scale up Lemmy and resolve problems revealed by the huge amount of new users. Keep in mind that Lemmy is still at version 0.x which means that its not feature complete. So if something is missing that you find important, consider waiting a year or two and checking back then. Or get it implemented yourself, thats what open source is all about.

That said most of the features you mentioned have already been implemented, including a list of all locally uploaded images.

There were optimizations related to database triggers, these are probably responsible for the speedup.

Alright Ive added @kevincox@lemmy.ml, @CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml and @Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml as mods and removed the inactive ones.

I just opened an issue about it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744

This, particularly reports are not fully federated.

It was always normalized, but recently there seems to be more backlash from maintainers.

Sounds like there might be a bug in Lemmy then. Please open an issue in the Lemmy repo.
