Nice work!

To your tips:

1. We dont know rust
2. We dont know rust

We dont want “just” to rewrite lemmy to java, we want to improve the code and thus we ALL dont know and want to understand rust, we chose to use java, as it is good old programming language where structure is already known.

Both languages are good, its just depends on what developer you ask. Both are valid options for a rest api.

Sublinks just wants to add a wider spectrum to the fediverse!

You can dm @jgrim any of your thoughts and ideas. Or just put your ideas into !sublinks and create a public discussion or even if you techie enough just create an issue on github github.com/sublinks/sublinks-api and jgrim and the team will discuss about it.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

thanks for your ideas, moderation isnt just a community, its the whole instance. The moderation lacks for instance admins the most. For example reports, with the current setup it is impossible to search for one specific report or sort by community,person,reporter,types. The sort order is currently somewhere else where it should be, it sorts on the server by old => new and client side new => old. I dont know if this was wanted but it just creates additionally to the lack of sort or filter options a issue for instance admins, that want to look for urgent reports at the top of the reports.

The programming language is just a preference, i already said this to mutliple people, this was a choice of convinience and it is still a valid option for a rest api.

Yes the 0.19.3 upgrade happened.

We wanted to give their survey more reach, as a sort of collaboration.

edit: version typo

Rooki, 2 months ago

Yep, with that upgrade we noticed a increase in federation issues, we are trying to help every other instances, that has federation issue to us to keep them updated.

I think next year 1.4.2025

The person i replied to wasnt constructive too? So what is your point?

If it is a point that “microsoft bad!!!”, then yeah thats a valid point. But WHAT is an alternative to that? That is secure, ddos protected and doesnt cost us more than 0$. Additionally who will set it up for one survey? And again, self hosted != more privacy. We see your ip there and on lemmy, so we could theoretically correlate your ip and boom we have your lemmy account, on microsoft forms we dont that.

If you are really concerned that microsoft is doing shady stuff with your correlated answer, then dont use it as simple as that and dont blame someone that is doing this in their free time and for no money.

We hoped for the best and we got the worst. Even after we waited like multiple months after release and what got we? We got a headon crash to the wall.

Bad documentation, changed setup, ui issues, sort issues, performance issues, ddosed multiple times by smaller 0.19.3 instances that crashed and restarted, some other issues that could have been seen if blackbox tested just once.

For smaller instances ok they can live with it. But we waited extra long, and then got the worst, untested software.

edit: typo in the version

Rooki, 2 months ago

Like said its personal opinion. But what do we see with lemmy? Its on rust and still there are many bugs in there and the feature development is relative slow than to other open source projects.

Rooki, 2 months ago

sry was a typo

Rooki, 2 months ago

We did our testing, but we didnt scaled it up to be similar size of our main instance. There everything seemed fine, but when we upgraded the real issues have rissen up and were just breaking every setup we had.

We had some trust that other instances and developers had tested it at least by turning their instance on and report it, but didnt seemed so. Some issues isnt even caused the instance size. Some issues were documentation were just wrong and not noted it was experimental.

Of course we should have mirrored our big instance, but that would have increased the costs and would be time heavy.

The .world scrapper discord bot he means the discord verification bot. It simply uses the lemmy api to dm you to verify you are the real AchtungDrempels on discord as on lemmy. To reduce trolls and spammers.

Rooki, 2 months ago

1. We are only hostile if you are hostile to us
2. This was again, sry for this a misscommunication, but to be fair in a legal way, first act then announce it is a common approach.
3. They just wanted a (indirect) test dummy to test their software on a big scale, and we are sick of it, we are always the first that goes head first into their untested, experimental features, that they probably even didnt started in their test environment and not even mark it as experimental.
4. The .world “scraper” bot?! is a verificiaton bot for our discord server to reduce trolls, that just uses simple api calls to verify through a dm that it is you and btw, this isnt created by me it is created by someone on the sublinks team.
5. This will be discussed, so no idea.
6. Probably, if the users toxicity reduces here, probably yes, we are sorry for that, we hope to improve.

I am sorry but the FHF / Lemmy instance admins are just humans. And yeah there is a feature now to export your blocks, community subscriptions and we are not blocking you to use it if you are really sick of us.

Rooki, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Yes, its their right to do so, you could create a community where you just ban everyone from the community that you dislike. You can do literally anything you want ( except site rule breaking stuff ) with your community. It depends of course on the instances internal policy, if a instance admin wants or should intervene, for personal or just for management reason. )

Rooki, 2 months ago

There is always an option where, you can just create your own community ( with hookers and blackjack ) on your current local instance, or just host your instance yourself.

Rooki, 2 months ago

Ok i will give those alternatives to the sublinks team.

Rooki, 2 months ago

Exactly what our reasoning was with it. We wanted a reliable way to identify if its really you. And a easy dm verification did that.

Everything will be migrated, you will only see some minir downtime when the migration happens. But it will be announced and it will still take some time

Rooki, 2 months ago

Some of the world team That is probably me. I am sorry about it.

Sublinks should not replace lemmy but add alternatives to the fediverse. We understand it is difficult to maintain such big software especially if there is always that exceptional “big” instance that has special requests for special / specific features. With it we just want to have less “beef” with the lemmy devs, with “big” instance issues.

Rooki, 2 months ago

Everything will be migrated, WHEN and IF we every swap over.

This is message is because lemmy doesnt have that feature, we check through the db what email you have and then purge you, if you are with bad email domains.

Rooki, 1 month ago

Hi, as told by MrKaplan we disallow disposable/simple unidentifiable emails.

Mozilla email relay, is the kind of disposable email we disallow.

Thanks for your understanding
