I’m glad you added lemmy.ml 🙏 Yes, you just need to create a bot account and add it. Communities are added/updated periodically.

It was something like Universal Lemmy Redirect

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.

What people don’t understand about this tool 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.

Do you think serving images from torrent would work? This can be done easily in the browser with Webtorrent, but I think it might be a bit problematic in mobile applications (maybe the image_proxy endpoint could come in handy here for a hybrid solution).

If it is in the roadmap, I can add this feature to the web UI as a start. Because it makes perfect sense :)

If you seed only, then your bot won’t subscribe. So your All tab will be the same.

Mutual mode can put an additional load on your instance if you are not following the top communities on Lemmy. But I believe it is worth it.

If the extra load becomes a problem, you can disable the bot at any time. With the “Reset subscriptions” button, your bot will unfollow from all communities.

I would suggest you to set Federation mode to seed only. I do not recommend mutual mode for instances under 100 users.

NSFW? Your preference. Auto add? I think you should enable. Fediseer? Default is fine.

I need to register on bsky.app to log in. Where is the federation in this?

I use it for some niche communities too. Small communities are not infected with bots fortunately. Apart from that, it sucks more than before for sure.

I guess the new plugin system is capable for those features but unfortunately I have to reject. I already have some hobby projects in mind but I don’t even have time for them because of my job.

Why fork though? You can still create an instance with strict rules and karma requirements (with help of new plugin system?).

Cool! Thats what I wanted to hear coz I want to do the same :)

I don’t know much about immutable distros, but with a quick look, you’re probably right. It looks like Bazzite is based on Fedora atomic desktop.

I meant using BTRFS for system and ext4 for the game folder. Why you wouldn’t use BTRFS though?

It’s all about preference of admins. Just ask them what they’re allowing.

If you don’t use pict-rs then Lemmy will not proxy images and just use original URLs. Also, in the new version that has not been released yet, you will be able to disable the proxy via config.

Nice. I guess “Summary” is something like git commit message. I thought it more as the summary of the article :)

You’ve picked a nice name :) I’m glad you didn’t choose fedipedia.

I just created an account on open.ibis.wiki and created “Lemmy” article but it’s not shown on ibis.wiki 🤔 I guess it still has a long way to go, but I think it’s a nice project 👍

I don’t understand those who criticize Lemmy developers. They were developing it while you were not here, I don’t think they will stop just because you are leaving :)

It is about power. If they have more than 50% of the users, then all other instances should comply with their changes and obey them. If they don’t, then they’ll be blocked by more than half of the users. No instance owner will take this risk.

I’m trying to explain you that you don’t really need to own something to own it. If you have enough power, you have it already.
