Jonah is the admin of Lemmy.one, a tracker-free, federated link aggregator, as well as privacyguides.org, mstdn.party, and discuss.techlore.tech.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

jonah,

You only start getting posts and comments from after the first person on your instance (you in this case) subscribes to the community. You can make it fetch old posts manually if there's something you want to reply to by entering the post URL in /search, otherwise just wait and all the new posts will show up here.

jonah, (edited )

Comments are pushed out by the community's server, they're not pulled in by yours. So if you're missing comments from communities hosted on lemmy.ml for example, it may be that lemmy.ml is overloaded and not sending out comments to the fediverse properly.

The other common issue with missing comments and posts is misconfigured language settings in your profile. You need to make sure at least Undefined and English are both selected, lots of people only have English selected which will make a lot of posts hidden.

jonah,

This is usually an issue with your language settings, I wish the configuration options here were more clear. Lemmy is still essentially alpha software, associated quirks and all.

jonah,

This is an issue with lemmy.ml, not lemmy.one. Lemmy servers are responsible for sending information out to other servers, lemmy.one is not responsible for pulling information in.

If lemmy.ml is not federating your community posts or your community there is broken entirely (which it sort of looks like...) then they have to fix that, or you have to rebuild a new community on an instance which isn't broken.

jonah,

The biggest problem to me is what I just saw you post in another reply, that these models built upon our knowledge exist almost solely within proprietary ecosystems.

and maybe even our Mastodon or Lemmy posts!

The Washington Post published a great piece which allows you to search which websites were included in the "C4" dataset published in 2019. I searched for my personal blog jonaharagon.com and sure enough it was included, and the C4 dataset is practically minuscule compared to what is being compiled for larger models like ChatGPT. If my tiny website was included, Mastodon and Lemmy posts (which are actually very visible and SEO optimized tbh) are 100% being scraped as well, there's no maybe about it.

Why is r/PrivacyGuides Private? [Subreddit Blackout Announcement] (discuss.privacyguides.net)

TL;DR: Reddit is making their tracker-filled mobile app the only way to access Reddit on mobile devices, they are falsely accusing third-party developers of blackmail, and they are on a path to severely lower the quality of content posted on Reddit and increase the amount of spam you see. To stand against these changes,...

jonah,

Hi @a1tb1t~ I'm the admin of lemmy.one (I know you also messaged me on Reddit). The specs for this server are roughly double the specs of lemmy.ml's server, except we're ~10x smaller than lemmy.ml at the moment, so we have lots of room for growth. I run mstdn.party which is one of the top 40 largest Mastodon servers according to the-federation.info, and I'm prepared to scale this community as well. If you want your community hosted on this instance, I'm happy to get that set up for you, we can talk further on Reddit.

If you're considering running your own Lemmy server instead, it is not particularly resource-intensive, I would imagine you could host up to ~1000 monthly active users on a server that costs no more than $30/month. I'm happy to invite you to some Lemmy admin communities who can provide assistance as well if you're interested in going that route.

jonah,

Lots of people here with the opposite opinion of me, which is that I like the website and not the mobile apps, but overall yeah I'm pretty convinced this format is probably the best poised alternative to replace Reddit for a lot of people. Maybe not everybody, but I am willing to "settle" for quality over quantity ;)

jonah,

I would describe Apollo as an accessibility app in the sense that the regular Reddit app is unusable.

jonah,

The only problem is that if your instance doesn't know about that community yet, it'll just 404, you still have to search for it first because visiting the link doesn't make your instance fetch the community yet.

This should still be the default behavior when it autofills a community link though, I hope they make this change 👍

jonah,

Oh yeah, fixed 👍

jonah,

I love that "informative and unfortunate" is now a running gag on the channel lol

jonah,

Actually fulfilling campaign promises? This has no place in American politics! /s

jonah,

You're welcome to use this account :)

I just want to avoid everybody joining lemmy.one.

jonah,

It's fine to register here, I mostly just don't want to create a misunderstanding that you have to register on lemmy.one to join local communities here, which can be joined from any instance. And I'm telling Subreddit moderators to link people to join-lemmy.org instead of lemmy.one in announcement posts in the spirit of decentralization.

jonah,

If the current mods of r/atheism on Reddit want to create a new community here on lemmy.one, they can message me as described here: https://lemmy.one/post/41

If people are just looking for an existing atheism community here on the Lemmy network, there are atheism communities already on other servers, such as !atheism.

jonah,

I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it's unusable mobile view. You'll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I'll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they're feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.

jonah,

lemmy.ml has a lot of federation issues unfortunately (uptime issues in general, actually). There’s not much that can be done until their server is fixed, and yes I agree it’s very annoying, but they’re working on it 👍

How do I create a community?

Communities can only be created on Lemmy.one by an administrator. While we figure out the direction we want this instance to go in, in terms of moderation, we are curating the communities hosted here on this instance, to avoid duplicating the efforts of other communities on Lemmy and ensure we're only offering unique,...

jonah,

Sent you a PM on Reddit :)

jonah,

PMs via Lemmy are a thing, but if you're an existing Subreddit mod I want to verify that on Reddit :)

jonah,

DM'd you here.

jonah,

There's !bicycling already, or are you looking for something else?

jonah,

There probably wasn't, because nobody on lemmy.one had "discovered" it yet. It is slightly complicated, but you can find remote communities more reliably with a tool like https://browse.feddit.de/, and then paste the URL of the community you find in the search page. That will tell lemmy.one to fetch the community from that server, the communities you see on lemmy.one are ones where that process has already happened.
