Lemmy user list (lemmy.ninja)

EDIT: I'm putting this up front so it's the FIRST thing you see and read: I WAS WRONGI ASSUMED (and I know better) that it wasn't possible for me to have 3000 accounts created within a day or two of going live. I ASSUMED what I saw was accounts that were NOT local, I WAS WRONGI created a process to remove the bot accounts from...

kiwi,

Yes accounts are distributed to each server. Same as communities.

kiwi,

Ah, great thanks. That sounds much smaller in file size than mirroring all embedded content.

Disable autorefresh while scrolling?

I'm trying to view Lemmy from the browser but have already seen most of the posts at the top, so to get new stuff I'm trying to look at all communities sorted by new. But as I scroll down the page keeps refreshing the posts automatically and pushing stuff I've already scrolled past into view again, and sometimes causing...

kiwi,

The lemmy ui is removing websockets in the next update replacing it with a REST API. I suspect that will stop any new posts from popping to the top after load.

People seem to not want new posts and comments moving things around on their page anyway.

kiwi,

A lemmy instance will only show communities that someone’s has previously searched using the full url. You can find a list of all available instances here: http://browse.feddit.de/

kiwi,

I think eventually the search on your instance could build out a similar list as shown on browse.feddit.de but it’s not there yet.

kiwi,

wow very tricky, thanks for reporting back! Can I ask if you’re seeing better performance running postgresql separately?

kiwi,

One of the downsides seems like since the developer packages everything together, I’m reliant on them to push out changes. For example if some dependency needs a critical security update then I’m relying on every flatpak author to apply that change and push out a new version. But if I’m installing packages directly, I can update that one package and be done with it across my system.

kiwi,

Thanks, I didn't know that.

kiwi,

If nobody from your instance is already subscribed, then you can only search for the community by the full url. I wrote a bit more about this here: https://lemmy.directory/post/34207

kiwi,

Thanks for the feedback! I think if your main goal is to just search for communities by name, then it’s best to use: https://browse.feddit.de/.

I find lemmy.directory the most helpful in browsing all posts across the lemmyverse in a single feed (via the “All” filter).

Searching for new communities may be able to be made more universal, but automatically pulling in those feeds (subscribing) is probably not a good general idea. See here for more info on that: https://lemmy.ml/comment/476925

kiwi,

I think that would be possible to do to help with searching for new communities. Although for now I’m not sure there’s too much difference between it existing on each instance vs on https://browse.feddit.de/. Other than ease of use of staying on one website I guess.

kiwi,

When first subscribing to a new instance, a handful of posts get backfill synced. I think it would make sense to also backfill the comments for those posts.

kiwi,

Can I only create a community on the instance I joined, or can I also create a community elsewhere?

You can only create a community on the instance you have an account on, but people from other instances will still be able to follow and post to it.

kiwi,

I think that's right. A request for deletion gets made and it's up to each server to decide if they will honor it.

kiwi,

You might be able to save the website as a progressive web app to your home screen?
