Lemmy account age and Github experience are absolute orthogonal data points, how is that even something to be brought as an argument?

Once upon a time, a "meaningful wage" was something that would allow you to raise a family of 4 while living a comfortable middle class standard of living.
57k€ gross salary in Berlin amounts to ~3360€ per month net income. Rent alone will eat 30-40% of that.
You can survive on that salary, which is more than most people are managing to do nowadays. But to think that someone with such specialized competency should expect a "not bad" salary shows a pretty sad state of affairs.
57k€ for someone with Rust experience?!
Maybe that "Rewriting things in Rust is just to get rid of old people that can command high salaries" LinkedIn Lunatic was right after all...
Listen to Bernie:
You were faster than my edit.
What we can do is try go get popular communities to other instances.
I am particularly more interested in getting people aware of Fediverser because of the long tail of niche interests than the "popular" communities, and I am not that interested in arguing over whether a community should be in the largest instance or second or the 8th.
I call your solopreneur community and raise a whole instance.
Seriously, though: can we please stop creating communities on LW? Take a look at Fediverser Network before creating a new community because there is a good chance that the community you are looking for already exists, and even if it seems inactive it's easier to revive an existing one that bootstrapping from scratch.
The solution is to go to subscribe to Reddit RSS feeds so that we find stuff to repost here.
(Only half-joking)
Setting up parallel sending also would require more resources on their part.
It is your problem to fix, yet you are only willing to take action if the solution comes in the form that is most convenient to you. I genuinely don't understand why, but I guess it's between you and the users on your instance.
You won't be making any changes to Lemmy source code itself, that's what I mean. I wouldn't count adding something that is independent from the service as "customizing it", but if that is what you meant, fine.
That setup required an additional server for AZ
What I had in mind would be to run the relay myself, and you would only have to set up/manage an extra service that could run along your Lemmy process.
You seem to think (...) we're willfully not taking an action that we should be taking.
Well, yes? You have the possibility to take the initiative and mitigate an issue that is affecting your users, and you can solve the problem independently of the third-party's cooperation. Why put yourself at the mercy of others when you have enough power and agency?
Looks like everything worked fine except for pulling posts via the search API.
If you want to direct the efforts to move there I'd join you.
I want to support the guy, but damn does he like to overpromise and underdeliver...
We've been hearing about Loops being open sourced (which would imply the ability to be federated) for months already. Just publish the thing and let the community help, @dansup@mastodon.social !
