Hm, I feel that should be easily worked around through proxies, but the problem is that the Russian authorities would go after those russian instances then


I find that the most accurate definition is a society where the primary mode of production is wage work


It totally is. Not by your pet definition maybe but millions of wage workers and stock markets say otherwise


Ah I see you’re using a specific dw plugin


Can you share the deets on how you did it? Currently I’m doing it via API which requires people to add a specific string to their username


lemmy.dbzer0.com also has a DjangoWiki attached, with lemmy integration. How did you do your integration?


With all due respect, but that’s not over. There’s still a significant lack of mod tooling on lemmy.


Well, I was more referring to all the drama around lemmy lately due to lacking mod tools etc


Also, any such wiki has to be allow-list only by default. Any open wiki is vandalized with spam and hate speech almost immediately. Open federation would make this trivial.


You call this calm? :D

But I know the feeling. I didn’t really want to run a lemmy but reddit made it intolerable not to and here we are. I should be working on my main project >_<


When working on lemmy is too relaxing so you need another project to keep you busy :D


Oh right. That’s an interesting shortcut I didn’t think to look for. Or maybe it was edited in? I remember looking for piracy



It’s exactly the same for us. There are hundreds of open issues for Lemmy and we can’t work on all of them.

You misunderstand. For you, lemmy is your full-time job, so working on feature A instead of feature B, is still working on lemmy. For me being a lemmy admin is a side-thing to my main FOSS project, and on top of that I also have my day job.

By voting totals you mean the karma score? We intentionally decided not to show that because it has many negative effects. It was accidentally still exposed in the api so we removed that.

yes exactly. But this is something that you diverge from what other admins might want. So they cannot submit it as a feature even if they want to which is what I was alluding to earlier as to why you might not see the PRs


In both cases you do the equivalent of ./lemmyctl [start|reload] --config my-config.json or such.

My peep, do you even know how lemmy hosting works or are you speaking out of your ass? :D


They do, for a lot of things: Not everything you can do with modules can be done with plugins, while everything that can be done with plugins can be done with modules.

And yet, they support plugins, even through they’re technically unnecessary since modules exist. What a waste of core developer time, eh?

bevy

I mean, there’s a reason why Godot is slowly-but-surely taking over the world of Game Engines and I have never heard of bevy before now. Ease of use and ease of development trumps performance every time (as far as “market share” is concerned).

Nah I suggest they run them. Either as-is or after tweaking some knobs.

Sorry but as someone who does have the extensive experience with those things, there’s nothing accurate about that statement.

if you don’t have some background technical knowledge if the software doesn’t eat you then the next botnet will.

Which is where allowing more developer resources to be injected into the project, with, oh I don’t know, plugins, would help. We’re looking to expand the pool of people who are technically able to run fediverse servers. Not shrink it.


You realize Godot supports modules and plugin for a reason, right? Like it would be absolutely inane if Godot asked gamedevs to recompile Godot from source to add shared functionality. And this is with a piece of software that is already aimed at developers and software houses, most of whom are familiar with compiling from source.

Lemmy admins are not software houses. Most barely have enough knowledge to run the ansible playbooks and you’re suggesting they set up CI/CD pipelines!


“if you do this right” sounds like wishful thinking. Sorry but every other software uses plugins for his sort of thing for a reason. As a devops, sysadmin, and developer, what you’re describing sounds absolutely unusable for the vast majority of its target audience.


My brother’s in christ, you need to deploy that shit somehow…

Also lol at the idea that every tutorial is the same difficulty


I think you severely overestimate the capabilities of the average admin


cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5376797 > The fediseer now allows instance admins to self-tag their instance as they want. Those tags can then be consumed via the API. > > For example, one could use these tags to discover all instances focusing one or more topics at the same time. Places like [pangora.social](https://pangora.social/join) can use them to find more instances to suggest in their lists. > > On the flip side, instance admins can also use them to help improve their blocklists in a "positive" manner. For example, let's say that you want your instance to be SFW, you could explicitly block any instance self reporting as "porn" or "gore" etc. Along with the endorsements and hesitations, this would provide a lot of tools to ensure you associate only with the people you fit well. > > You can add or delete tags in the [GUI](https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/edit/my) or directly via the API as an instance admin > > ![](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/pictrs/image/2ae58240-b6d7-4b98-b1c8-f5c9616b66a2.png) > > The new `tags_csv` arg on the `/whitelist` endpoint, will also return all instances which match any of the tags in your csv. > > Let us know what you think and remember you can support the fediseer development [on liberapay](https://liberapay.com/Fediseer/).
