LibreWolf remains AI-free!


cross-posted from: lemmy.wtf/post/34364784

cross-posted from: lemmy.cafe/post/28583067
LibreWolf is one of the best browsers for people who don't like generative AI.

Here is the statement posted on Mastodon:

As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick "official" toot to then pin: we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it "slipped through". As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.





Amazon Kindle: scoperta falla critica negli ebook (corretta)


Il Kindle potrebbe trasformarsi in un cavallo di Troia. Un hacker etico ha scoperto che un ebook contraffatto può aprire le porte dell’account Amazon, rubare i dati della carta di credito e comprare libri a spese del povero malcapitato. La buona notizia? Amazon ha già sistemato la falla. La cattiva? Anche un dispositivo pensato solo per leggere può essere vulnerabile.

Getting 400 Bad Request when reaching the end of my feed


Usually when I reach the end of the feed, it just loads more. But recently, I started getting a bad request error instead. Not every time I reach the end, but once I get it it doesn't go away when I tap on retry.

Is anyone else seeing this happening? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

in reply to theOneTrueSpoon

This is a DB attack vector, which is why lemmy long ago switched to cursor pagination.

You need to open up an issue in the summit repo asking the dev to switch away from the deprecated page/limit, and to cursor pagination.

in reply to Dessalines

I disagree with this, and already opened a PR to increase the limit to 100. This way users wont run into problems, and it prevents DDoS just as well.

In effetti capire chi è genitore di chi sarebbe fattibile con un "reverse engineering", di solito il genitore parla del proprio figlio (che c'è o non c'è a un evento), esattamente quello che faccio io per ripescare i numeri di telefono.

I tried out Gothic a couple of years ago for the first time and I thought it was amazing! Very old school and I didn't know what I was doing but those kind of games feel so alive. I was overwhelmed with all of the things to do. I didn't make it to far but have been thinking of trying it out again soon. I usually play games for the first time vanilla, but are there any mods you recommend for first time players?
in reply to DrSteveBrule

Yes that's the charme of it, just like the player character you are thrown into this strange, brutal world and have to figure out how to survive. The beginning is difficult, but that makes it all the more satisfying later in the game when you actually become powerful.

Regarding mods, you should definitely get one for improved inventory, and there's also a DirectX 11 mod for better graphics.

I keep seeing the same things in my feed


On another popular site I can refresh my feed and it's instantly all new things to explore. But here on Lemmy when I refresh, I get either the same top posts (with little new activity) or I see them just down a bit.

I've chosen subs that are active, and a mix of subscribed and local subs.

What settings are best to have a similar experience where if you refresh your feed you see new things to subs you're interested in? Even choosing 'new' its like.. there's no new activity when I refresh.

Thank you in advance

Go into your settings and unclick show read posts , and save. Then you won't see any of the same posts again after you've read them.


Should I set the language when I post something?


On the web I can select the language of a post and comment. The two mobile apps I've tried so far don’t have any language-related features.

So I end up posting and commenting with a mix of languages.

Should I just not set any when using the web UI?



Is there still no way to attach an image/photo group album collection or slideshow on the post header, and if it's being worked on, where can I follow the development?


Title. Just curious if there's any workarounds (like external hosting or linking to Pixelfed albums), or any solutions on the horizon, since I haven't seen any posts about it, at least not recently.
in reply to edcasting

You can already just use the URL / link field to link to that album, and also choose a custom image if you like.

You can also just use the post markdown body to post a lot of pictures also.



Lemmy Release v0.19.14


in reply to Nutomic

This isn't what i had in mind. i meant more like changing the line to something like:

We’d like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, donating money and helping find and fix bugs.


With "donating money" maybe replaced with "funding".


in reply to Meow-Misfit



Do moderators see posts and comments in every language or only in the ones they selected?


I was thinking about my post “Should I set the language when I post something?” (Is this the right way to link to a post?) again.

Does the way language gets used on Lemmy imply that a moderator would need to select all languages in the settings to prevent them from overlooking some content?

And wouldn't this be very annoying if the same account gets used for non-moderation usage?

in reply to Stefan_S_from_H

What you should do as a mod is set the allowed languages in the community settings. Then people wont be able to post in other languages. Though I realize that the UI for this isnt so good for now.
in reply to Nutomic

Is it possible to implement a built in translation feature? Or is that too much?
in reply to pilferjinx

Of course its possible, afaik Piefed uses Libretranslate for this. So the same would work for Lemmy, someone just needs to find the time to implement it.
in reply to pilferjinx

Translation costs either money or user data. Probably a political issue.

Personally, I still can't understand why Lemmy needs to deal with post and comment languages anyway. It's a reasonable feature for microblogging. But when you start sorting content into groups (aka boards, communities, etc.), you don't really need to mix different languages to discuss one specific topic.

Netnews and Bulletin Board Systems had language- and location-specific communities. Everyone participating in one of these communities/groups/boards was writing in the same language.

in reply to Stefan_S_from_H

When you view the global post listing from all communities, it shouldnt display posts in languages that you dont speak. Similarly it shouldnt be possible to make a post in Danish or Polish in a German community. With Lemmy 1.0 there will be automatic language detection available so you wont have to specify it manually for each comment. And translations could be implemented using Libretranslate (selfhosted).

A question about multi-communities (the new feature being tested)


Will the multi-communities be able to handle communities from multiple instances?

Like communities from lemmy.eco.br and lemmy.pt that are country agnostic, like !dev@lemmy.eco.br and !devpt@lemmy.pt, that are development communties, but pulverized across instances, so creating multi-communities across both instances would make good onboarding on both sides.

Just asking to see what would be capable, to atract more people easily, showing more "content", etc.

in reply to potatoguy

Yes, you can test it yourself by registering an account on voyager.lemmy.ml with the sidebar button (direct link). There are also lots of other new features available, I really need to write a post about them. To name just a few: private communities (followers require mod approval), webassembly plugins, post tags (ui is not finished yet), and more...

Le Forze di Difesa Israeliane vietano i telefoni Android: gli iPhone ora sono "obbligatori"


Le Forze di Difesa Israeliane vietano i telefoni Android: gli iPhone ora sono "obbligatori"


Aggiornato il 30 novembre con un nuovo attacco informatico che prende di mira gli smartphone israeliani.

Ecco, questo è interessante. Poche settimane dopo la campagna di Google per promuovere Android come più sicuro di iPhone, la battaglia degli smartphone ha preso una piega improvvisa. L'esercito israeliano ha deciso di vietare i telefoni Android agli ufficiali superiori, per motivi di sicurezza.

La notizia è stata diffusa dalla radio dell'esercito israeliano e ripresa dal Jerusalem Post. "Secondo l'ordine previsto, ai comandanti dal grado di tenente colonnello in su sarà consentito utilizzare solo iPhone per le comunicazioni ufficiali. Secondo il rapporto, questa misura mira a ridurre il rischio di intrusioni nei telefoni degli ufficiali superiori".



Implementing postingRestrictedToMods


Hey pfefferle@mastodon.social nutomic@lemmy.ml, I'm looking to integrate support for postingRestrictedToMods

I see some discussion here:

It's a little specific, but even so, I'm happy to add it, since it solves some issues with cross-community content creation permission.

Is there a JSON-LD context I can add, since I am assuming that postingRestrictedToMods is not standard?

in reply to julian

Its part of the part of the Lemmy context so you could include that.

Btw I didnt notice your post before because Lemmy doesnt support mention notifications in that context yet (it will be in 1.0).



Announce and Undo(Announce) in Mastodon


NodeBB federates out the [code]Announce[/code] activity in two ways. [ol] [li]The "plain object" way, which is an [code]Announce[/code] activity wrapping an object (either a uri or the full object itself.)[/li] [li]The "1b12" way, which is an [code]Anno

NodeBB federates out the Announce activity in two ways.

  1. The "plain object" way, which is an Announce activity wrapping an object (either a uri or the full object itself.)
  2. The "1b12" way, which is an Announce activity wrapping another activity (e.g. Create)

Up until now I haven't needed to handle the reverse (which in AP-speak is the "undo" of an activity), but since NodeBB sends Announce when moving a topic in to category, it now makes sense to Undo(Announce) when moving a topic out of a category.

My first interop test with Mastodon didn't work, and it turns out that Mastodon checks the id of the embedded Announce for a match. It doesn't infer it based on actor/object combination.

Once I matched up the IDs, the Undo was processed correctly.

I also noticed that Announces sent from Mastodon have a published property, although this is not relevant in Undo parsing.

in reply to julian

Lemmy uses Announce/Undo/Delete and similar activites. So the outermost activity is always Announce from the community. To me Undo/Announce doesnt make much sense, it was already announced and you cant take that back. Its the delete action which is reverted.

Mastodon compatibility is another thing, you likely need a lot of ugly hacks for that.

Germany reinstates conscription with mandatory screening for 18-year-olds


All male citizens turning 18 must complete a medical examination to assess their fitness for military service.

If the number of volunteers falls short, a draft lottery will be implemented to select individuals for service in the Bundeswehr, Germany"s armed forces.

Women will also be included in the process, receiving a questionnaire designed to evaluate their potential readiness to serve in the military.

This initiative is part of a broader strategy to expand the German military, with a target of increasing the number of active troops to 260,000 and reservists to 200,000. The duration of mandatory service is set at six months, with half of that time dedicated to basic training, ensuring that recruits are adequately prepared for their roles.

For those who choose to volunteer for military service, the compensation is approximately €2,600 per month. Additionally, individuals who sign contracts for longer than one year will be granted "short-term contract soldier" status, which includes pay comparable to that of professional military personnel.

what's going on with post titles - inconsistent in showing read / not read?


When I click on the title of a post (I use list view) to see the comments, and then go back to list view, the text style of the title is no longer indicating that I have visited that post. It still shows a change when I upvote or down vote the post. It used to show a change when I followed the actual link (url), but that went away weeks ago. Why all the changes? I'd prefer Jerboa to indicate that I have seen a post if I interact with it in any way. That is, I would expect that clicking the url thumbnail, the title text, or one of the arrow buttons would mark the post as 'seen'.

[proposal] a better content-recommendation system


I know that many people don't like complex or intransparent recommendation algorithms.

Currently, there are "subscribed", "local" and "all" categories (at least in the default lemmy web UI).

I would like to change this to include custom topics ("listings").
They are a custom way of choosing content (in case of Lemmy listings). In Lemmy, custom listings appear just like standard listings (API-wise), just that instead of "https://discuss.tchncs.de/?dataType=Post&listingType=Subscribed&sort=Active" you have "https: //discuss.tchncs.de/?dataType=Post&listingType=list:AAAA4865698@lemmy.world&sort=Active" or something.

Listings could either be lists of communities and other listings. Consider this simple text file to describe a listing for a memes-topic: (that contains 2 communities, everything on 1 domain, and another sub-listing)

c:memes@lemmy.world
c:memes@lemmy.ml
domain:memes.net
list:AAAA4865698@lemmy.world

Or they could take their data from an RSS stream or similar external source.

[US] What happens when the government shuts down, and if it stays down, what do we do?


Sorry if thia type of question isn't allowed, I tried on AskPolitics as well but that comm looks mega dead so I'm x-posting here

geteilt von: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/57245755

Forgive me if I'm woefully misunderstanding how this all works.

If the government is shut down, and they can't reach an agreement to open it back up, what happens?

Short term? What does it look like in the coming weeks to months if no agreement is reached?

Mid-Term? Within the next year, if things are still all shut down, what happens to things like trade, tax payments, public services?

Long-term? If, worst case scenario, the divisions between the parties with power have grown so though they can't ever reach an agreement: what happens then? Is it an anarchist state? Do we have new coup attempts to take power? Does the US balkanize?

I'm not meaning to inject any sort of bias in my line of questions, I hope I haven't led anyone to any specific conclusions.

in reply to IngeniousRocks (They/She)

The long term is typically what happens to empires like Rome or Britain: a slow, whiny, unstable decline into obscurity until everyone eventually leaves.

Rome had so many civil wars, imperial overextension, political instability, famines, and an inability to cope with disasters, that by the time it fell, it hollowed out to like < 1% of its peak population.

Lemmy's removal of audience in posts?

Hi Nutomic, thanks for joining the forum.

While I have you, I wanted to ask you about the removal of audience from Lemmy. I believe the rationale for it was that it was not used outside of Lemmy, but both Piefed (rimu@piefed.social) and NodeBB use it.

I still think the explicit use of the audience property is more helpful than not.

I discovered another use case for it, although it is a bit of an edge case. Last night a user from lemmy.ca posted to activitypub@community.nodebb.org. Here, there are no followers to that group actor, so it did not federate here. However, one of the relays this site subscribes to did Announce the topic, and when it arrived here, NodeBB could not accurately determine whether the topic/post _actually belonged to activitypub@community.nodebb.org.

Specifically, it is because sometimes users (on Mastodon or other sites) mention group actors but don't intend for the post to be made there. It is not a strong enough signal.

But audience being explicitly set does provide that strong signal. I've updated NodeBB's code to trust the group actor if located in audience.

in reply to Nutomic

Re: Lemmy's removal of audience in posts?


I feel like that being explicit is more advantageous. There are some subtle edge cases that it helps work around.

Having trouble with some gestures


I have tried Thumb-Key before where I didn't really try to learn much, but since I recently decided to change my desktop layout to a variation of the Gallium layout called Lucens, I decided to also give Thumb-Key another try on my phone and it has been a pretty cool learning experience, I can definitely see the potential here once I get fast enough.

That being said I'm having trouble with some gestures that I can't get consistency with. Specifically Drag-and-return and Circular Drag.

With Drag-and-return, it only works on the letters that need swipe for me to capitalize them. And with Circular drag, I can't consistently make it work, doing the same gesture, it sometimes capitalize, sometimes not, sometimes input the number, sometimes not.

Is there some tips for getting this right?

in reply to Kras Mazov

You may need to tweak the minimum swipe length. 40 seems to work best.

Fornitore italiano di spyware collegato agli attacchi zero-day su Chrome


Una vulnerabilità zero-day in Google Chrome, sfruttata nell'operazione ForumTroll all'inizio di quest'anno, ha diffuso malware collegato al fornitore italiano di spyware Memento Labs, nato dopo che IntheCyber Group ha acquisito la famigerata Hacking Team.

L'operazione ForumTroll è stata scoperta da Kaspersky a marzo. La campagna ha preso di mira organizzazioni russe - media, università, centri di ricerca, organizzazioni governative e istituzioni finanziarie - con inviti ben congegnati al forum Primakov Readings che contenevano un link dannoso.


Era sufficiente caricare il link in qualsiasi browser web basato su Chromium per infettare il sistema informatico. I ricercatori di Kaspersky hanno affermato che la distribuzione del malware è stata effettuata sfruttando CVE-2025-2783, una vulnerabilità zero-day di tipo sandbox escape nel browser Chrome.

Italic and bold markup should output italic and bold text, not emphasized and strongly emphasized text


Currently, "bold" and "italic" markup doesn't actually output bold and italic text (semantically); instead, it outputs strongly emphasized (<strong>) and emphasized (<em>) text. This is completely wrong and semantic markup abuse, since we can't guarantee that bold text will only be used for strong importance or that italic text will only be used for emphasis. HTML output for this markup should be changed to general-purpose elements (i.e. *%text%* (_%text%_) should be <i>%text%</i>, not <em>%text%</em>, and **%text%** (__%text%__) should be <b>%text%</b>, not <strong>%text%</strong>).

Increased Spam on Lemmy Recently


I don't know if it's just me, but it feeks like there's been more spam posts than usual on Lemmy this October. Especially in instances like lemmy.world, lemdro.id, and others.

For example, this week, there has been a 3-day-old account on lemmy.world with over 480 posts. I also refreshed my feed today to find a <1 day old account from lemy.lol just posting Perplexity affiliate links to various places. I've blocked like 10 accounts in the past week alone for this reason.

With affiliate links I kind of understand the motivation. However, for non-promotional spam, upvotes on Lemmy aren't valuable in the same way that it is on Reddit, and there's no real value to an account with a lot of karma.

Is it just me that's noticed this increase? Does anyone know why this might be happening just now?

Some servers don't seem to be doing any vetting, allowing a lot of repost accounts, bot accounts, and karma farmers (even though we don't show karma in lemmy).

All we can do is report those accounts, block them, and if the servers keep allowing spammers, then block those servers.

At least in western cinema, only sci-fi can get away with anti-imperialism. Star wars (the rebellion = vietnamese communists), lots of Star trek episodes especially in DS9, Dune (the book first, then the film), and pry a lot more I can't think of right now.

Ml users throwing around the word fascist like it's going out of style. Surely nothing bad can come from diluting the meaning of this word
in reply to rbesfe

I'm actually very sympathetic to this. What the US did, and continues to do, is far worse than what the fascists of the 1920s-40s attempted.

The Nazis and Japanese fascists tried (and failed) to acheive what the US sucessfully did: the colonization and eviction of hundreds of native peoples, and clearing of an entire region for the "master race". All under a far more stable form of government for colonialism : bourgeois democracy.

Lebensraum failed, but manifest destiny succeeded.

Not only that, but committed countless other atrocities, unparalleled in history.

Matrix movie lore opinion question. Did cypher try anything else before betraying the group? Would neo and the others have tried to help him if he asked?


I think if he would’ve been like “I’ve rally changed my mind. I can’t do this.” Neo and Morpheus I feel would’ve tried to help him re-enter the matrix.

The whole thing was about “give them a choice” and I think everyone would have at least understood how he fealt and would’ve tried to get him back into the matrix at his request.

I feel like he didn’t even try talking about it before he went to the agents.

I know it’s meaningless just wondering what other people thought.

in reply to Aeao

Part of the reason is that he didn't just want to live a life of pleasure... he also wanted to revert to a state of blissful ignorance, and not know that the matrix was a fake reality.

That would go against the moral principles of the ship, whose main goal is to enlighten and bring awareness about the matrix. It would be immoral for them to erase his memory even if they could.

Cypher also was extremely selfish, secretly hated the crew, and had no qualms about selling them all out for his own benefit.



Scaled sort seems broken for small communities


Whenever I subscribe to a small but very active community, for example lefty_news@ibbit.at, my Scaled sort feed gets flooded almost entirely by posts from that one community. I thought Scaled sort was supposed to highlight outliers across all communities to prevent a single instance from dominating the feed. Is this a bug or just how it's supposed to work?

Could the UI and App devs please make it more clear that URL and image options when making a post are mutually exclusive?


Jerboa's not too bad, as the URL field is the same field the link to your uploaded image ends up overwriting, but I swear I see people making this mistake every fucking day. End up posting just an image when they wanted image + link.

Apologies, as I'm sure there's proper channels for this, and open source projects tend to not have the best UIs. Just shouting into the void.

Community behaviour around deletion of posts


As a regular contributor to discussion across a wide spectrum of Lemmy (and other fediverse) communities, I've come to see some people who will submit a post, get replies and then delete that post.

While I understand that this is a feature of the platform, in my opinion, it's extremely disrespectful to anyone who took the time to provide a considered, or otherwise, response.

While we're building a global community, is there any appetite to discourage such behaviour, or are we okay with this experience?

One idea might be to update the platform to "zombie" a post when its author deletes it, leaving it exactly where it is, but removing the author.

Anyone?

in reply to Onno (VK6FLAB)

This will be partially addressed in Lemmy 1.0 by making deleted posts and their comments viewable, but only by direct link (not via post listings).

github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull…

in reply to Nutomic

when i delete a post or comment, it's usually because i realized that i responded to the wrong comment or that i posted in the wrong community; will it still show in such circumstances?
in reply to eldavi

For comments there is no change. For posts, if you delete a post which has no comments it wont be visible to anyone else. If it has comments and you delete the post, then it will only be accessible by direct link but not via post listings on the community page or frontpage.
in reply to Nutomic

Admins will still have ways to remove illegal content, right? I checked the pull request but it's a little light on details for someone not involved with the inner workings.
in reply to wizardbeard

The change only affects posts which were deleted by the creator and have at least one comment. If the post was removed by a mod or admin the behaviour remains unchanged, and only the creator as well as mods/admins can view it.

in reply to the_mighty_kracken

We removed many comments, since its a blanket term used to demonize leftists, like "commie", and carry out anti-communist witch-hunts (the instance you're currently on blocks the major leftist lemmy servers, so we're seeing a lot of witch-hunters).

Its kinda similar to going to a non-theist forum, and asking, "hey everyone, what's a heathen?" And a lot of the answers then demonize these supposed "heathens".

Is this a bug? "Show Upvote %" Only Shows in Tooltip Instead of Next to Votes and Displays Too Many Decimals


I enabled the “Show Upvote %” option and turned off all the other score-related settings, but now I don’t see anything next to posts where the total score usually appears. Some comments show the percentage, but not in the spot between the vote arrows where the score normally is. I’d expect the upvote percentage to appear for every post and comment in place of the total score, but instead it only shows up as a tooltip when hovering over the arrows. Is this the intended behavior or a bug? Also, is it really necessary to display so many decimal places in the tooltip?

Questa voce è stata modificata (2 mesi fa)
in reply to Davy Jones

I just tested this, and it's not a bug, except for the decimals (open up an issue on lemmy-ui github about that).

It only shows the upvote percentage when there are downvotes. Otherwise, you can assume it's 100%.



Random Idea: Federated "Discord-Style" Platform With Isolated Instances


in reply to nullptr

It was originally funded by amdocs, a US and Israeli company, but they have their own funding for many years now.

Regardless, considering its entirely open source, buildable from source, self-hostable (and auditable), which is more than you can say for signal, where the back end is centralized, and hosted in a five-eyes country.

Matrix requires no "just trust us" clause unlike signal, because you can run the software yourself, and verify that its not making calls to US or Israeli servers.

How much Lemmy data can we find?


I mean for example usage hour peaks? Or usage day peaks? Etc.

I know uptime, downtime, total posts, total accounts etc are available.

I wanted to see activity data. I wanna be active when Lemmy is alive and not be here when the world is asleep.

Also just generally curious and like seeing this kind of data.

in reply to Lacanoodle

We have active users per day (and other time frames), for site and every community.



Bit concerned about the view votes option now available.


I mod a few communities and I can now see who has upvoted or downvoted any comment or post in the community.

You'd think any mod would like that data being available to find any issue user. But I feel like invasive with this.

I know admins have long been able to see this data.

Also its not like its personally information, just your screen name associated with your own activity, as your posts and comments are. But the passive act of voting is now very public which is a bit icky to me.

How do you all feel about this?

I'm sorry I haven't been super active on Lemmy and missed much of the conversation around this. I'll go find any relevant discussions too.

in reply to Dessalines

Yeah I mod like 10 communities and I feel wrong doing it. Dont think I'll ever be checking that again.

Entirely up to you.

For larger communities, its a must, since people entities use no-content accounts or bot accounts to mass up or downvote content.



Sorting Communities by Monthly Users for Better Visibility


When exploring communities to post in, using /communities, I believe it would be more effective if they were sorted by active users per month instead of total subscribers.

Sì, siamo meno, probabilmente ci stiamo creando la nostra piccola bolla… ma sapete una cosa? Io qui sto meglio di prima. E non ho nessuna voglia di fare paragoni con i social commerciali.

Developer / Potential Contributor Question: how to add a custom post/comment ranking algorithm to Lemmy?


How would I add a new ranking algorithm to Lemmy as a contributor? I'm a developer by trade, but unfamiliar with Rust and the codebase of Lemmy specifically. It doesn't seem like Lemmy has a concept of 'ranking plugins', so whatever I do would have to involve an MR.

Specifically, I'd like to introduce a ranking system that approximates Proportional Approval Voting, specifically using Thiele's elimination methods, like is used in LiquidFeedback.

I'm pretty sure that with a few tweaks to Thiele's rules, I can compute a complete ranking of all comments in a thread in O(ClogC + E + VlogC), where C is the number of comments, E is the total number of likes, and V is the number of users. This would also support partial approvals, upvotes could decay with age.

I believe this would mitigate the tendency towards echo chambers that Lemmy inherits from Reddit. Lemmy effectively uses Block Approval Voting with decays to rank comments and posts, leading to the same people dominating every conversation.

in reply to Nutomic

in reply to CrashLoopBackOff

Adding a new sort type is not a big deal, so dont worry about it. And a new admin setting for this would also require UI changes, so the new sort type is easier overall.

The current sort options calculate the rank for each post only from the data on that post (number of votes, creation time). Your suggested algorithm looks much more complicated than that, as it requires two iterations and needs to access data from multiple posts at once. Im not sure if this can really be implemented in a way thats performant enough for production use. Anyway feel free to open a pull request, then hopefully other contributors can help you to get it working.

Does Lemmy automatically purge old cached images?


I just noticed that my pictrs image volume reached 20 GBs in size. Does Lemmy or pictrs not delete the cached images automatically after some time?
in reply to tyler

I just changed to another distro (so I had to set everything up again) and I simply did not backup the pictrs volume because how much time it would've taken to transfer it from one machine to another. And well, it seems like what you said is not true. I can load any old post and I will still see its images.
in reply to asudox

The proxied images will be refetched from the origin if they cant be found locally. There should also be a configurable maximum size for the image cache but I dont see it mentioned in the pictrs readme. So like Dessalines said you need to ask the developer directly.


Why is peertube growth so sluggish?


I love the idea, but most servers only host a couple of videos, it's very hard to find enjoyable content on there and it's difficult to figure out which server could be a good server to make an account on...

I wouldn't mind a centralized aggregator of videos and maybe it could have a suggestions algorithm as well or whatever. Not that this would be ideal in the long term but it could help get the videos some views and make more content creators see this as a good alternative. It's not safe on youtube, people aren't even saying suicide anymore ffs

Edit: Even some renowned german media have their own peertube servers that they feed with high quality videos, but of course they have basically 0 views. (peertube.heise.de/, tube.taz.de/)

in reply to Dessalines

Thanks. I don't know much about torrenting other, and I never looked into the concept of what Magnet links are.

It is actually very interesting! Such an elegant and simple solution.

And I think it is even simpler than what the instructions imply... I can write the following into the terminal:

transmission-cli "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:563cf8f2a0bdd5564ae9ef3d3302eecef639328b"

And that's enough to pull the first episode of alien earth that you shared. That unique hash is all it takes to search for seeders. Very cool.

It is still not obvious to me who would seed when implementing the torrent-based YouTube alternative. Would it make sense that users set some torrenting ratio, a file lifetime, and a size limit, and 'collect' videos as they watch them so that they can seed for other users?

All that’s needed is for people to learn how to seed their own videos, and post magnet links around.


I'm in! Looking into it. Now I need to go make something worth sharing.

in reply to Salamander

It always surprises me when ppl don't know about torrents. They were the only way to get things before streaming services privatized all this content, and still remain better, by using the latest encodings and quality formats for media.

It is still not obvious to me who would seed when implementing the torrent-based YouTube alternative.


Torrenters generally leave their torrent application open in the background, and seed whatever and however they'd like. Some create rules around how much and how often to seed, either based on ratios, time seeded, or speed limits. Others just seed forever at max. All the modern clients like qbitorrent or deluge can handle this, pausing the torrents when they meet given rules.

So new content would be no different than the thousands of people seeding existing content.

Hi pfefferle@mastodon.social, I was just curious why activitypub.blog@activitypub.blog was a user and not a group on NodeBB, so I checked out its AP representation on BrowserStack.

This stood out:

    }
  },
  ...

I thought "how would you be able to represent multiple implementations if implements is an object?

It looks like it is supposed to be an array, according to FEP 844e.

[Suggestion] Show number of comments on crossposts without having to open each one.


The line that shows the links to other crossposts should add a (#comments), if there is any, after each link.

Some links get crossposted to multiple communities but I don't know if any of these posts have any comments and it's tedious to check them out one by one, and in my experience most of them don't have any comments which discourages me from checking them out.

Also crosspost links could be in order of comments.

Another idea: instead of (#comments) it could be a different color or some other indicator.

in reply to sadschmuck [none/use name]

Just noticed that this post is already two weeks old. Im aware of the other discussion, there are a lot of ideas and we still need to decide what is the best way to implement it.

Could you post a link or screenshot to see how Photon displays crossposts?

in reply to sadschmuck [none/use name]

Looks similar to the new UI in the PR linked above, except you have to expand it manually.
in reply to Nutomic

Having to expand it manually would help make the page look less cluttered. What I'm suggesting is that you have the Crossposts section at the bottom beneath the comments and for the user to be able to expand crossposts and read their post text and comments, essentially combining the crossposts display with the idea of fetching and showing comments from crossposts together.

Showing crossposts below comments doesnt work if you have a thread with 100+ comments as it keeps auto-loading more comments. Hiding the crosspost details themselves seems unnecessary as we render them rather small. A button to expand these small details into the full post view with comments also makes sense to me.

I was checking Photon's settings and I noticed they have this option

I know it's unrelated but I thought it might interest you, and I don't have a github account to open an issue.

Read posts already show with a different color. So this could be a problem with your browser, or the specific Lemmy theme you are using.


[Question] resilience to downtime


I'm looking for input on how well Lemmy responds to occasional downtime of up to a few days, specifically regarding how federation recovers after such an event.

Basically looking to know how amenable it is to selfhosting via reverse proxy from dodgy setups which are the best some of us proles can manage. I try to run some services where I can but my situation inevitably results in an event or three per year, on average, with some days down.

in reply to ThorrJo

Outgoing federation actions are kept for 7 days. So if your instance is down shorter than that it will catch up with everything.


[Suggestion] Custom filtering of feed by keywords


I'd like to tweak my feed by hiding all posts containing certain key words, e.g. 'democracy, leftists, murder, liberals, fbi, market' etc.

Basic use case: Don't like what you see?
Select keyword -> click RMB -> "Fitler for a week". Now you won't see any posts with this keyword on any Lemmy instance.

Is it possible somehow? Maybe a client with this functionality exists? Does it sound useful to anyone but me?

in reply to Dessalines

This is awesome. I believe difference from client-side filtering is that filters will work everywhere you login with your account. Do you happen to know estimated 1.0 release date?
in reply to podbrushkin

Yep that's correct. Unfortunately a lot of apps start adding app-specific features (which is fine of course), but then don't make issues upstream about the lemmy back-end supporting it everywhere. Kind of a conflict of interest where devs want you to use their apps with the most killer features, but don't care about the rest of the eco-system or helping other apps at all.

No release date on 1.0 yet. The back-end is 99% ready, but we're rapidly updating [lemmy-ui] to get it ready also. Then jerboa is next, then a longer period of testing and bug-fixing.



[Suggestion/Question]Add costum sort types to lemmy?


in reply to 🎇sparkles✨

You'll need to have a familiarity with rust and postgres before adding a random sort. If you open up a github issue on this tho, we'd be able help out.


Image upload support?


In lemmy you can just copy-paste an image into the markdown-text area. Which is quite useful I think.

Users have a media section in their profile, listing all their media-uploads.
Will Ibis support similar ways in the future? How would you go about implementing that?

Drawbacks:
* image uploads take more storage, cause higher server loads
* image uploads add another burden on moderators

So far this is not possible. What you can do is embed external images with ![](). In the future it would be possible to add the same image upload functionality that Lemmy has. However I dont have much time to work on Ibis, because it has so few users and few donations compared to Lemmy.
