Lemmy is slowly getting better in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] BuckRowdy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yes it was interesting finding communities banned from Reddit who seemed like they had been here awhile.

I can't find it now. The number that I saw was 1.09 million, but I can't find the site I saw it on now. I think a bunch of them must be purged spam accounts maybe.

Just created my own instance, what is the easiest way to transfer subscribed communities? (lemmy.world)
 

I decided to set up my own instance to give me more control over my lemmy experience. But I had already subscribed to lots of communities on several other instances.

What is the quickest and easiest way to transfer all those subscriptions over so that I can view them in my own instance?

I don't think people really understand that reddit is an 18 year old product. Their original site was iterated on for 10 years before they stopped building on it.

Lemmy will get there and beyond. As the fediverse attracts more users, it will also attract more contributors. I'm starting to learn Rust myself in hopes I can contribute to the project at some point down the line.

Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.

If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.

It Took 23 Days for Lemmy Posts to Double from 1 Million to 2 Million in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Totally agree. Each sub top mod should submit one good post per day at a minimum.

What Lemmy needs now more than anything is commenters. If the site is to succeed, it needs robust comment sections.

Laguna.chat has a lot of really racist communities in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I don't generally block anyone on social media. I don't want to block racists and then not be able to report their racism.

Just saw a post on reddit alternatives and there was a comment inviting users to laguna.chat. I went and checked it out and the trending communities list included, 'jews did 911', 'killnirs', 'hitler was right', and 'Fuck Nirs'. One of the user accounts was u/HangNi***rs.

Hey Laguna Chat, get your shit together.

Edit: markdown defeated me again. I think you can figure out what those words are.

Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site? (lemmy.world)

I was just browsing a thread on c/nfl looking for new mods. There were multiple 12+ year Redditors there offering to help.

Got me wondering. There are 14,000 of us in this community. How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?

Edit: I didn't expect this post to be as poignant as it became. There are so many of you... I can't reply to everyone. I'm an 11 year user and have modded something like 150 subs over the years. I'm really sad too, but I'm finding that lemmy has most of the content I'm looking for, just needs more comments.

The API was a big blow, but removing awards on past posts and deleting coin balances is really dumb.

Thank you for this post. I was hoping I could ask you a couple of questions because I also had to make some modifications to get Lemmy up and running. I don't have email yet because my isp blocks post 25 and I haven't gotten around to requesting an unblock yet.

I see you've modified your hjson file to use gmail. The default config syntax for email is:

email: {
    smtp_server: "postfix:25"
    smtp_from_address: "noreply@{{ domain }}"
    tls_type: "none"
  }```

My question is, can I just drop in your email syntax with my information and the instance will use gmail instead of the default?
How can I run a Lemmy instance on a rPi 4? I've tried several methods and both fail because docker didn't support arm v7 or v8 in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
[–] BuckRowdy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This got me working, but, for anyone who comes across this, the file to edit is lemmy.yml, and you drop in ghcr.io/ubergeek77 for dessalines. The only hurdle once I did that was installing docker-compose on the pi. Unfortunately you can't just install docker-compose with pip3 install docker-compose. Follow these instructions to install docker-compose. https://dev.to/elalemanyo/how-to-install-docker-and-docker-compose-on-raspberry-pi-1mo

Then just run the ansible playbook.

I was able to install lemmy just now on the rpi. I used ubergeek77's stuff.

It's been a rough day. First I tried the lemmy-easy-deploy script because, hey, I'm lazy. That failed, so I then tried the ansible playbook and had some success with it. At first, Let's Encrypt was not working, and I had to sort out my dynamic dns provider.

Once that was sorted the playbook was running well, encryption was working properly, then I got an error that the docker didn't support arm v7 architecture. I then updated to Bullseye, Raspbian 11 and got a similar error that docker didn't support arm v8 architecture.

So what os do I need to be running on this pi to install an instance on it?

I want to start creating bots for Lemmy, but have a couple of questions about iterating through posts, comments, repports... (lemmy.world)
 

I'm new to lemmy, only been here a few days, but I have already ported over one of my reddit bots to Lemmy and it was really easy, like orders of magnitude easier than it was to get my first reddit bot working.

There are lots of wrappers available and I am researching everything to figure out how best to proceed with a more serious bot. Most of my scripts for reddit were moderation tools. Lemmy doesn't seem large enough to need a lot of moderation yet, but I still want to get to work creating things because it's fun.

I'm finding documentation scarce in some cases so I just wanted to pose a question here. On reddit, if I want to look at posts (or comments, reports, modqueue, and so on) I iterate through a listing and then narrow my search based on what type of post I need.

Does Lemmy use listings, or how do you process posts/comments in the same fashion as you'd do over there?

I haven't had to take any mod actions yet because I don't have any reports, so I haven't really explored any of the mod actions via the api.

mlmym.org is a front end for Lemmy that looks just like old reddit. It provides a familiar experience (mlmym.org)

Like many of you I'm here because I'm done with reddit. I'm just getting started here and I found a front end for Lemmy that provides the old reddit interface. I like the lemmy.world interface just fine, but old habits are hard to break. I think using Lemmy with this front end will help me spend more time here because of the familiarity.

if you have friends that are having a hard time transitioning over, maybe recommend http://mlmym.org to them.
