nutomic, 11 months ago to asklemmy in Users from before the current wave of Reddit refugees, how do you feel about the incoming monsoon of refugees?

Cant respond, too many notifications to read and problems to fix.

nutomic, 11 months ago to fediverse in Developer of RedReader (a reddit app with 100k downloads on play store) is considering porting it to Lemmy or Mastodon

FYI we planning to rewrite some parts of the api soon. You can check the api issues to get an idea. So this is a good time for suggestions.

nutomic, 11 months ago to lemmy_support in Lemmy Devs: could you shed light on the range of scalability issues we're about to see with the reddit influx?

There are a few main problems with performance which we are currently fixing:

• Websocket is inefficient. We are removing it and switching to HTTP API. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1081
• There are some slow SQL queries which we need to improve. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2877
• There is no caching. This PR adds it, but will only work after rewriting to HTTP. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/75

Federation isnt causing any performance problems, its all due to database reads from local users.

Its also possible that Reddit rows back from the API change (at least temporarily). I hope they do, so that we have a bit more time to get Lemmy ready.

nutomic, 11 months ago to privacy in PSA: Lemmy keeps your deleted content by design

This is true, but there are two exceptions: admins have a purge action which permanently deletes content. And like others already said, when you delete your account everything that you posted is permanently deleted.

nutomic, 11 months ago to asklemmy in Any way to get a Lemmy Interface like old.reddit or HN?

You can write your own frontend for Lemmy by connecting to the Api and using it to build the HTML. The docs have some more explanation.

nutomic, 11 months ago to lemmy in What's happens if, like mastodon and matrix, 99% of ppl only use the handful of the biggest Lemmy servers?

There were some suggestions to change the order of instances on join-lemmy.org so that smaller instances are shown near the top. So that could help to spread out users better.

nutomic, 11 months ago to lemmy in How to Join Lemmy and Find and Subscribe to Communities

It's not necessary to create multiple posts. Instance admins can sticky any federated post to the top of their local site.

nutomic, 11 months ago to memes in Preparing for the hug of death

I fear that we wont be so lucky. If a million people try to check out Lemmy at once, all the instances can go down.

nutomic, 11 months ago to lemmy in lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead

If a post from a remote user gets removed in a community on lemmy.ml, that removal should also federate back to the user's home instance. At least in theory.

So if you host an instance with no communities, the only moderation you need to do is prevent spam bots or trolls from using it.
