How to Download Your Reddit Data and have full text search of it offline (www.wired.com)

Reddit has a form where you can request a copy of your data. The process can take up to 30 days, after which you will get a private message on your Reddit account with a download link. The data comes in the form of CSV files that you can open using Microsoft Excel or any text editor....

I have 17 years of posts and comments and have been active, i don't have much trust in those kinds of tools specially given that the API has hard limits to what it can reach, still will check

Lemmy is in serious need of more devs

After the (temporary) defederation announcement of earlier i checked the Lemmy repo to see if there was already a ticket on the federation limiting option like Mastodon's that people mentioned Lemmy doesn't yet have. Not only i didn't find it, i also saw that there's about 200+ open tickets of variable importance. Also saw that...

That's a good point, there should be a community about developing Lemmy itself on the main Lemmy instance, pinging @dessalines and/or @nutomic@lemmy.ml, it would be the place to recruit to help, maybe even make posts about specific issues that need attention or something

Both Lemmy and Kbin need A LOT more devs and quickly, just this morning was mentioning that i took a look and Lemmy had more than 200 open issues on Github

Sucks a lot but is understandable. That said i did a quick check on the Github repo and didn't see any issue about developing this federation option. I think Lemmy needs more devs, there's more than 200 open issues at the moment, a lot for just two main devs.

It's a meme community, the main rule is that when you visit you must post a meme. So, the more people visit the more posts it gets. No idea why the name though, likely an in-joke.

So, i partially agree in principle thanks to Neil Gaiman, the law should not punish people for what's essentially victimless crimes (unlike IRL CP there's no one being hurt here, just people drawing... things...), but on the other hand this is not about laws and the government not arresting you, is about this particular community. You're still free to host all that up to what the law allows you where you are, but this particular community has no obligation or desire to let this pass here.

I'd say let it be legal, let the people create, host and distribute that to people who care about it, but that doesn't mean everybody is obligated to welcome it. I for one don't, I've been a weeb for decades and have seen many things i cannot unsee, and would like to avoid all of that if possible.

Also, like the alt-text of that XKCD strip says, defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession: you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.

It's just growing pains, literal thousands of people joining small free services managed by volunteers in their spare time, not thousands of employees of a megacorp working on it 24/7, it's EXPECTED that things like this happen. The fact that they have all this transparency and thoughtfulness on it is GOOD.

I made a post mentioning this earlier, hopefully at least a few peeps will see it and join in. I don't have the needed skills or I'd take a stab at it myself.

I insist, this shitstorm should have happened a year or two from now instead of these days! Bad timing! :P

Checked it, and yeah no clue if any of those are minors or if there's any verification, the original Reddit community it mimics was banned along with Jailbait years ago. However, the sitewide rules forbids content with minors, so if that community is doing that it's grounds for banning and maybe calling the authorities if there's serious doubts of anything.

So, teens at lemmynsfw.com has the description: "A replacement for Reddit’s r/teens. Posts should feature teens, and not break any sitewide or common sense rules."

And we check, r/teens was among the ones banned 11 years ago after the Jailbait debacle. So yeah...

Servers going down because logs fill a disk is one common Sysadmin experience, achievement unlocked! 😄

Thanks for doing the work 👍

Yes, that's why i shared it as soon as i got it and read it, i thought it could help

Blows my mind that a good chunk of this just didn't exist a month or two ago

Self-hostable but not federated. Still in construction though, specially doesn't have all the voice capabilities of Discord yet, but looks quite decent so far

Doesn't help for searches though

@jherazob@beehaw.org avatar

You're absolutely right, true, but that will work for you and me, but not for your typical user, even the more advanced ones will be stumped at that point

Pihole explicitly doesn't block Youtube ads as they can't differentiate them from content at that level, it needs to be done at browser/app level

Invidious doesn't use the API
