Apart from death and taxes, I think maybe drama is the 3rd universal constant.

The weekly & subscribed user count is only users on that specific instance. Also someone doesn’t have to view a community to upvote a post.

But I’m on a one person instance, so that would only show one user but doesn’t.

homesweethomeMrL,

So you’re running your own instance, and that instance had 131 people/week login? Or did you login 131 times?

I run my own instance. It has one user. I did not log in 131 times into it.

The number is displayed on the instance the post is on, so it doesn’t matter which instance you view it from (or if you’re not logged in at all), the number is calculated from the active users who are members of the instance you’re viewing.

That’s because, currently, the community stats that you see in the sidebar are only from your instance – community stats are currently not federated. Afaik, federated community stats are going to be implemented in 0.19.

aion, in The user numbers in Lemmy communities don't add up

Disclaimer: I have not looked at how Lemmy calculates those numbers.

I suspect this is a combination of multiple factors:

  • The stats could be averages over the last several days/weeks.
  • The stats could be estimates, not exact numbers.
  • The stats probably only account for people who look at the community directly.
  • People do not need to look at the community to upvote a post, people can upvote from the site-wide feed.

users/day and users/week is from all instances. Only subscribers are from your own instance (so the other two comments are wrong)

The reason is cause that only counts users who have either posted or commented and not those who have upvoted only

Ah that would make sense actually! That would also show that 90% are lurkers.

mvirts,

… Waiting in the shadows for the perfect time to strike! Lol with a dumb comment

The upvote logic is so complicated on Lemmy, that idgaf anymore. It’s not like it really was important in the reddit days, just funny somehow…

The first versions of Sync for Lemmy’s still had the added upvote count on my profile page - a Sync for Reddit leftover, but vanished quickly.

This post obfuscated the Lemmy upvote system to a almost opaque level for me lol

can,

Subscriber count is only counting users from your instance. That’s it.

It's definitely from other instances voting on it. For example. I'm on the @kbin.social instance but I'm commenting on your post from @jeemy.jeena.net

Also, this doesn't really have to do with your point but it's interesting none-the-less, it's really hard to keep view count numbers accurate when you've got multiple servers involved. The view count is accurate and every view is being counted, but any time you look at it, it's not exactly correct. If you think about how each server might get a view count update from the server at different times, and then add the views that only it sees to the view count, and then when it goes to add it's view counts to the central count and get a new updated number there may have been dozens of other server that have updated the view count at various times between then and now.

It all gets very complicated but I think it's kind of neat that a view count number can be accurately kept track of and yet every time you look at it, it's not exactly correct.

Do voters count as active users? I am somewhat confident that the user count is just related to people who posted or commented on the community.

Delete the directory, create the file. Docker creates a bind mount as a directory if it doesn’t exist.

That’s what I tried. When I start up the containers with docker-compose up -d I get the error posted above.

Rottcodd, in Best way to bookmark lemmy communities in a web browser

This seems like a weirdly unnecessary way to not quite manage to duplicate what lemmy has been designed to do.

How do I make it just work with just my original account?

You go to the community list for your instance and do a search on the URL of the community you’re interested in. Then (assuming that your instance is federated with the other one) your instance will create its own mirror of the community, and you’re done.

rob299, (edited )

I agree it’s probably weird, unnecessary? eh depends on use case. lemmy (atleast the website) seems to meet me halfway with why I would use Bookmarks to begin with. one thing I can’t seem to figure out is how to set custom categories for Lemmy communities that I subscribe to/order them without having to unsubscribe and subscribe again to communities, in the web interface.

Yep. Lemmy doesn’t provide any community management tooling, which is a shame, because a little can go a long way. Some clients provide some help, but generally it seems to be a lacking feature set.

There might be others on !plugins

On Lemmyverse you can set your home instance so that link open on it automatically

silas, (edited ) in How to clear cache or make some space available for my instance?
@silas@programming.dev avatar

Media is likely what’s taking up the most space. Pict-rs supports object storage, at the least that would be more cost-effective (usually around $4 per month for 250gb) than scaling up your machine’s disk space

xnx,

I’m worried I can’t migrate to object storage considering I have 0 disk space available though. I’d like to clear a bit of space before making the move

silas,
@silas@programming.dev avatar

Yeah you might be right, not sure if migration will require any extra space but it’s possible. Some providers offer very cheap snapshots or backups and you could just make one while you attempt to migrate. If it doesn’t work, it would be easy to revert at least

There’s not much more of an option unless someone else knows of one, but at some point you will need more storage again and object storage is just cheaper than block storage

shortwavesurfer, (edited ) in How do I link directly to a post inside a Lemmy instance?

That might be kind of difficult because each post is going to be different depending on instance, so there won’t be one universal link to it. What I would do is post a link to the community like this “/c/CommunityName@instance.tld”

Edit: as an example, this community for me is monero.town/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml which i can shorten to /c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

FelipeFelop, in How do I link directly to a post inside a Lemmy instance?
@FelipeFelop@discuss.online avatar

In not exactly sure what you mean by inside an instance. But your post is

lemmy.ml/post/8102580

Which someone not on Lemmy could use.

Your client probably has a share or copy link option for a post.
