Good post but won’t make a difference. Some users are immature and they are the ones lashing out.

They will always be part of the online experience.


No of course not. But it’s faster to code in since you don’t have to worry about the borrow checker.


I mean, Java has faster developer speed since it’s much less complicated than Rust. But it will also use a lot more memory. That being said, I guess most of what happens in Lemmy is database queries anyway and that will go equally fast in Java.

Rust is a very fast language but for a web app like Lemmy it’s probably not that important that it’s rust underneath.

But I really dislike Java. Lots of issues with code only working on a specific JDK, and code being very ugly due to all classes and shit.


Yeah I don’t think I want anything Java running on my systems…


All I saw was a message that “trans rights are human rights”…

Yeah no shit. But can I get an app too, or?



Not sure I like this. What’s to prevent people from putting up lots of spam blog posts they publish to Lemmy?


What, treat the user like a human being? Are you mad?


Depends. I don’t think “successful” means the same as “having the most users”.

The Linux community is awesome and we are only 3%. It’s already enough users for Linux to be amazing.


Depends on how it’s implemented.

If it leads to anyone subscribing to a tag (like technology) would get posts from all instances in the Lemmy network tagged with technology, it would make it much better for all smaller instances to get an audience without posting to the larger ones.

This is in my opinion how it should be implemented, so it’s not important where a community is stored.

But if its just a way to tag posts with several tags, it may lead to posts being really spammy in nature, and everyone using 5 tags on each post. I think mastadon posts here on Lemmy are already a bit spammy.


I feel like the headline should include what it does, otherwise it’s like saying “internet client”.

It’s a microblogging software.


Just picking from those two, but yes, I agree. I would put it on a instance that is below the top 10 instances, and I would do the same for all duplicate communities.


I think Lemmy.world should not have 99.999% of communities.

We can have one fediverse community but it should not be on Lemmy.world. It’s already extreamly centralized with almost all users. It should have all communities as well?

I feel the same about every other duplicate community. Because i actually care about having a decentralized fediverse.


I understand. Well we will se how it goes :)


So create more technology communities on different instances? We have the technology for it now.

!technology@lemmy.today

I created this one today because we need more, and we need to spread out. If you don’t want to join lemmy.today, start a community on your own instance. But spread out.


I’m really sorry to hear this. If someone wants to target an instance and create enough work so it becomes impossible to maintain it, they can.

This is why we need to spread out on many different instances. Maybe you have noticed that every time Lemmy.world is attacked, there’s almost no content anymore. We can change that by spreading out and posting from different instances.

If a few of them are attacked, then it doesn’t affect the entire fediverse.


Yep. Sitting on Lemmy.today browsing Lemmy.world posts right now…so I don’t know. Really advice people to not have just one account. :)


Yeah it’s all federated. If you get banned from a community on Lemmy.world, you will not be able to access it from Lemmy.today for example (with your lemmy.today user account).

This is the really super cool part about the fediverse. People don’t realize… This is where the magic is.

If Lemmy.world is down, you still access posts and threads and make posts etc from lemmy.today… And it all syncs when Lemmy.world is up again.

Another mind blowing moment is when you realize you can read and post on Lemmy from Mastadon… So you can combine interacting with Mastadon and Lemmy in the same conversion.


No problem at all. I’m itching for some project and actually got started with something like this in Go anyway to learn it better. :) We will see what comes out of it…


Yeah I thought so, it’s not so complicated. This one looks nice.
