TheDude,

No matter the outcome, you are still a hero. Kudos to you.

TheDude,

Hey icy,

The decision to block the Lemmygrad instance was less a question of censorship, and more an issue of personal conviction. As a volunteer dedicating my personal resources and time to facilitating a space for users to create, discover, and discuss - not just on this instance, but across the Fediverse - I admit that this choice was made alone, selfishly, without the consent or thoroughly considering the collective opinion of the community. With the above said, sh.itjust.works has had the lemmygrad instance blocked from its first day.

I'd like to also point out that the lemmygrad instance has far more blocked instances than what is currently blocked here. Maybe you can create a post on that instance to see what that's all about and report back?

TheDude,

I plan on making a post sharing some considerations people should take before registering to an instance. In it I’ll definitely bring this subject up.

TheDude,

You are right, wrong link! I just updated it. Thanks for the heads up

TheDude,

I believe the devs were saying that they were moving away from websockets in v0.18.0 which is scheduled to come out in a few weeks

TheDude,

The security fixes were documented prior and manually applied on our old instance as well. This patch was to get the performance gains and align with the latest release!

TheDude,

Not everything is documented but here is a link to the official lemmy documentation: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html

TheDude,

just updated the thread post to include more information for your curious beautiful mind

TheDude,

I figured out the storage issue last night, the instance is only at about 20% utilization so we should be good to take on a good amount more. We probably will need to do some more tweaking as we grow but for now its looking pretty good!

TheDude,

Hey all,

I just posted an update here https://sh.itjust.works/post/49787

I probably should have listened to my gut and not have went to bed last night.

Should be fixed now, it was related to an nginx setting that needed to be tuned.

TheDude,

This is really cool! Do you have you code on github? How are you handling pictures? I noticed that the way obsidian and hugo do it are different (obsidian adds it in the same working folder while hugo has a specific folder to store images)

TheDude,

Any government or governing body should be open to criticism. They are suppose to be working for the people they serve. How is anyone going to know better if no one tells them what they are doing wrong? @wriggly3171 you have my support

TheDude,

That's correct.

TheDude,

Welcome! Which ever instance you sign up becomes your home instance. You can browse other instances through your home instance however when it comes signing in, you need to do it from your home instance. I will add some “getting started” material in the future to help answer questions like these as I know you’re definitely not the only one we these type of questions.

TheDude,

Could you check and see if its with a community on this instance vs another instance on the fediverse?

TheDude,

I get the same behaviour as well. I noticed however that if you select a language then it works just fine. Could you try it out on your side as well? I will reach out to the lemmy devs to see if this should be marked as a bug.

TheDude,

It definitely helps!

TheDude,

I'm being a little private about the total amount of disk assigned to this instance for now. I do plan on sharing these details when I have implemented a viable solution. That being said I can tell you that with the amount of current users and activities this instance is growing by about 20GB per day in disk size.

TheDude,

I love this!

TheDude,

Not taking donations at the moment. Still need to figure out the best way to collect donations and haven't had the chance to think about it! I will eventually
