Lemmy

I haven't tried embedding a video on Lemmy yet so I don't know exactly how well it works, but it would be nice if in addition to being able to embed videos from the standard video sources like YouTube, the Lemmy team made it so you could embed videos from other sources too like PeerTube and Odysee.

Title. It would make it easier to browse if I could collapse threads like with reddit. If this is the wrong place to make feature request where can I go to make suggestions?

Hey all,

Here is a amateur script that will add a "easy subscribe" button to the community subscription box that will automatically link you back to you home instance's search page that should make your adding remote communities "slightly" easier than the manual method. You will need a Javascript Injector addon for your browser. I am using "JS Injector" for firefox. This will only add the button on the communities main page (/c/ in the url). Make sure to change the homeInstance var to your home lemmy instance where your account is. If you find a bug or make it better... please fix it and update us. I never code in javascript... so this was all stack overflow searches.

For whatever reason, often I will have to refresh the community page once before the button appears. Something to do with the javascript injector addons not being able to run until everything is loaded perhaps?

Remote Community:

"Easy Button Click - Takes you back to your homepage ready to click back and subscribe from your home instance".

Enjoy, I hope it is of use. Remember never run a script that you don't understand.

 window.onload = function() {
  var homeInstance = "https://yourhomelemmy.ml"
  var url = window.location.href;
  var broken = url.split('/c/');
  var site = broken[0];
  site = site.replace('https://', '');
  var community = broken[1];
  var subString = homeInstance + "/search/q/!" + community + "@" + site + "/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1";
  if (document.querySelector('meta[name="Description"]').content.includes("Lemmy")) {
    if ((url.includes(homeInstance) == false) && (url.includes("/c/"))) {
      document.querySelectorAll('[role="alert"]').forEach(function(el) {
        el.innerHTML += "<br /><br /><a href=" + subString + " target='_blank'><button>Easy Subscribe</button></a>";
      });
    }
  }
}

More than two million dip in user count?

And for the love of god, can we PLEASE document the fixes we're finding along the way.

I'm currently impacted by the user registration bug that relates to user constraints in the DB - and it's completely ruining what would be an amazing launch. However, apparently some other server owners have it working! Buuuuuttt, no one is posting their secrets - and it's really hampering my ability to deliver this instance.

So, please, someone explain how I fix this issue and get a working instance.

Do I need to roll back? If so, what version? Do I need to run some PSQL? Do I need to patch some Rust?

EDIT: SUCCESS!

Here is the sacred knowledge for my particular situation.

It was half PEBKAC and half bug -

The PEBKAC - If using protonmail SMTP - you'll need 'starttls' for it to work.

If SMTP is broken in this way, it seems to cause a bug in user creation that will essentially create partial data that would prevent user creation with the same name from occuring again. You can use a "plus" address (ie youremail+stuff@domain.com) to work around this in the meantime.

Discussion at Reddit

I assume this is to be expected as we get closer to the reddit blackout date but I'm just wondering if lemmy.ml is running slower for anyone than usual?

1. Add a way to disable the related posts thing when we submit a post.

2. Add support for .mp4/.gif files. I want to send video memes :(

3. Add flairs for posts and users

That's all for now! Lemmy is amazing

I know it is familiar, and due to the heavy discussion in the recent days, it is especially hard to circumvent, but please take a look at the links you click on to prevent giving traffic to Reddit as much as possible. Just a small reminder!

I've been on Lemmy for 10 days now and I really enjoy it. The federation is really cool, but compared to Reddit it does have a downside: fragmentation of communities.

I think it would be really cool to be able to combine the feeds of the community Random_topic@example_instance_1 with Random_topic@example_instance_2 etc.

This could work well for reading, but I realize that posting is more difficult. So when posting you should be able to choose on what instance you want to post to the Random_topic 'community group'.

What do you think?

When i tap a post in Jerboa i get a back button to return where i was but in the browser version it is missing, i know this wouldnt be an issue as the browser has its own back button but i wanna use Lemmy as a PWA so it would be very useful.

Hey there, I wanted to join some communities in the programming.dev instance, but it doesn't seem to be connected to any other instance (I can't see it from my account's instance and its community list also only has its own communities). The signup form also freezes if I try to make an account on the instance directly. Am I misunderstanding something here?

Is there a way to migrate your account to another server?

I have just released a Swift Client for Lemmy! It's still early stages, but it has full API parity with the JavaScript client, and full Swift type safety.

I plan on improving the documentation shortly, but wanted to get something up so others could start using it and provide any feedback you might have.

Is there a way to search posts/content? Can it be done on Jerboa?

I can search for communities but haven't been able to find where I can search content.

Hey dear community, we just launched today our fully managed hosting of Lemmy

We offer to do Deployment / Security / DNS / SMTP / Monitoring / Alerts / Backups / Automated updates / Handle migrations / Fully automated but with Human support :)

We deploy each instance on a dedicated VM, and we provide full root access as well if you want to customize anything.

Pricing start at $10/month (billed hourly, no contract)

I would love to get some feedback from the community

I feel like a much talked about criticism of getting started with Lemmy is that the 'average person' doesn't understand it. I see a lot of technical people, myself included, use words that the 'average person' shies away from. Mentioning concepts like servers and Fediverse requires some background knowledge. I propose we start using 'providers' instead of servers, as it helps understand the function of it instead of the implementation. There might be more words that could be confusing, so let's have a conversation about them. Are there any you recognize as being able to be simplified, or is this a non issue?

last night for example, i was looking at the joinlemmy page, just lemmy.world went from like 400 to 1.3k in a night! hope it keeps up

@dessalines just wanna say I really appreciate all your effort with @lemmy your work is inspiring!

I wrote a guide to help users with their migration to Lemmy

• https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

This guide will help new lemmy users find and subscribe-to (remote) lemmy ~~subreddits~~ communities

Reddit has one (or perhaps it’s RES) and I am way too used to it. Having to middle-click everything is annoying.
