You mean communities, not instances.

Just make one and be the change you want to see. You can always give someone else mod later.

Why? Microsoft hasnt been pushing for it like Sony has. Sony has been crazy anti competitive.

I tend to agree that they should not be allowed, but how would everyone feel about an exception if they’re obviously called out?

I think of communities like churningcanada on reddit for example, where affiliate links / referral codes are intentional and wanted by the community.

IE, something like:

• Any affiliate or referral links must be obviously called out as such, with a clear description of what the poster gains and what the user would gain by using it

Tagging @mxwarp so he can share his opinions here :)

Yeah this is my thought too.

Is someone posting a YouTube video they made and are monetizing, advertising? Where do we draw the line?

Shadow, 10 months ago

Thanks! It’s not a rule yet, but that’s what we’re all here to discuss.

These are actually stock themes that come with lemmy!

I removed the few custom ones since it’s difficult to keep them working while lemmy is getting so many rapid updates.

We’re just behind cloudflare, the server itself and all us admins are Canadian.

I’m not an admin on your server, but they need to upgrade to 0.18.2-rc1 ASAP.

Aircraft have to dodge them.

Shadow, 10 months ago

And yet, I always have to pay for redundant fiber because they don’t dodge it.

Shadow, 10 months ago

Yep, this. Sorry about this, early software growing pains!

I’ll take a look in a bit but might be a new bug.

Edit: I can see the link just fine, even without deactivating it first. Can you try clearing your browser cache?

Paywall free link: archive.is/pUmLx

Want me to nuke your old version off the server?

Shadow, 11 months ago

This. Clear your cache and let us know if you still have trouble.

You may wish to try a different theme too, there’s new ones!

Shadow, 11 months ago

Yeah it’s way faster

Shadow, 11 months ago

Ooh yeah I like darkly-compact too

Shadow, 11 months ago

Done!

Shadow, 11 months ago

Officially out now

Shadow, 11 months ago

Applied!

Correct! The server running this and all data is stored in Canada.

Here’s a blurb from a doc I’m working on:

Lemmy.ca is hosted in Canada at OVH in Beauharnois, QC with all data on a dedicated server. Backups are PGP encrypted and pushed to the OVH backup service, however these will be moved off-site in the near future.

We use Cloudflare as a security and performance layer in front of the server. They accept the traffic for Lemmy.ca through a worldwide network of ingestion points, scrub it of abusive traffic, cache the images, and pass it through an encrypted tunnel to our server. This means they can see in plain text the data sent between us including your credentials, posts, comments and images. You can read more about their policies at www.cloudflare.com/trust-hub/.
