Then who would moderate this? And what if lemmygrad.ml/c/books wants to have different discussions from lemmy.world/c/books?

Lemmy supports horizontal scaling, so in theory it is only limited by the amount of servers you can afford. Of course there are always unpredictable bottlenecks which need to be fixed, but no inherent limitation.

No, I guess they only care about Mastodon. I will just wait and see how that goes.

Thank you! Its great that you have been around all these years.

When we have about a dozen more developers. So far only dessalines and i work on Lemmy fulltime, and besides solving issues we also have to review pull requests, prepare releases and much more. So its just not enough time to keep up with all the new issues let alone resolve the whole backlog.

Then your (hashed) password would have to be copied to all servers, and the email as well for password reset. Seems very problematic for security.

Check the updated OP. We can definitely use more donations, at the moment we are getting around 4000 Euros per month which is not much for two fulltime devs. And code contributions are also helpful, there is an almost endless amount of open issues.

How would you suggest to make it more efficient?

nutomic, (edited )

Very excited, and then very overwhelmed because everything started breaking left and right.

Would people really pay for Lemmy merch?

The best thing would be if Reddit goes the way of Digg. Seems that will happen sooner or later. The worst thing, maybe if funding stops and we are unable to keep working on Lemmy. But even then admins could still host Lemmy instances.

Yes once we reach 1.0 there will be way fewer breaking changes and then it will be easier to do more frequent releases.

Some company (dont know which) wanted to make a one-time donation of 500 Euros to get listed as donor on join-lemmy.org. Rejected because thats only for recurring donors. Does this count as weird?

Maybe, if someone implements it. Basically the same answer as all other low-priority feature requests.

Check the NLnet milestones in updated OP.

nutomic,
@nutomic@lemmy.ml avatar

Yep that was a regression which was recently fixed.

nutomic,

There have been lots of compatibility improvements with Mastodon from our side. However Mastodon seems to have almost no interest to make improvements from their side. I dont think there is much we can do about that, in the end project maintainers always care about their own users most.

With dansup there was some communication years ago, but it seems he lost interest in Lemmy.

nutomic,

There are such efforts on SocialHub and on a W3C mailing list. However devs of major Fediverse projects are rarely active there, because they are all busy working on their own software.

From NLnet we had three funding rounds with 50.000 Euros each.

In the future it could make sense to make a protocol extension to send multiple activities in a single HTTP connection. But for now its probably not worth the effort, considering that it would break compatibility with other Fediverse platforms.

More importantly it would make exports extremely large and would cause a lot of server load to import/export. Plus you would end up with duplicate posts and comments which seems like a bad idea.

Wait for Reddit to implode, more users to migrate and donations to increase. It worked last year :D

nutomic,
@nutomic@lemmy.ml avatar

Any breaking changes which get implemented in the meantime. There are no specific plans.

nutomic,

The SQL table for posts is 1.6 GB on lemmy.ml, and 5.7 GB for comments. That probably accounts for a majority of content on the Lemmyverse.

Lemmy was meant to be a Reddit replacement from the beginning, so it was always supposed to take off. Even in the early days the tech was working quite smoothly and users were happy so there was no real doubt about it. The only thing missing were more users. However I had no idea how a real migration would actually look like, so it was really overwhelming when last year people started to flood in and everything got overloaded and broke down.
