I love the convenience of not having to create a password everywhere I need to be authenticated. It would be interesting to be able to use lemmy instead of feeding more information to these big corporations.

All these posts about async are making the freedom to choose our runtime seem like a bad thing.

For most people, we can just accept Tokio as the de facto standard, and everything is good. Having the other runtimes only makes things better. Don't do anything weird and it won't be too much work if you need to change.

Any big change you miss is bound to either be implemented in Tokio or be too different for any abstraction to save you from the work.

If you're writing a library that you want to be reusable by everyone, I understand your frustration that it's not easier to make it universal for all async runtimes. You can still choose one, minimize the code you would have to change to implement others, and appreciate that in almost every other programming language you don't get more than one async engine anyway.

I noticed that my server import the bans from other instances. I think it's a great feature at the moment where there is no complains of anyone creating servers to abuse it, but I feel like it's bound to happen if there is no safety for it.

If we want to keep it easy for creating servers, maybe they should have a trust level, that could be set either manually or with some heuristics. I like the idea of some heuristics with the option for the admins to take some manual action.

(dunno if it's the right place to discuss that, is there some more appropriate community to ask things about lemmy itself, since this one is specific to lemmy.world?)

It's related to the flood I mentioned in an earlier post, but I think more people can want to do similar things, sharing all their content on lemmy to make it discoverable. I think people might want to do it for different legitimate reasons, and I'm not sure what the right way to do it is.

Ideally there should be a way to create a thread without showing it on "new", or even better, lemmy should limit automatically how much space a community or server can take on the global "new" lists

I created an instance, and was thinking it as a normal self-hosted server where I can do whatever I want with no worries, and learned in a bad way that it's on a federation and we still have to follow some rules.

I have a lot of AI generated stuff that I wanted to make visible on Lemmy, and made a bot to upload all of it in a community.

So far it wouldn't create a flood, but then I subscribed to it with my lemmy.world account. I wanted to test it, and I wanted the community to be searchable on lemmy.world.

This last step is the one that messed up. Lemmy's new feed apparently doesn't impose any limit, and a new server publishing thousands of posts in a few minutes flooded lemmy.world's new feed.

That wasn't my intention and I apologize for that.
