I created a repo on GitHub that has a table comparing all the known lemmy instances
Why?
When I joined lemmy, I had to join a few different instances before I realized that:
- Some instances didn’t allow you to create new communities
- Some instances were setup with an
allowlistso that you couldn’t subscribe/participate with communities on (most) other instances - Some instances disabled important features like downvotes
- Some instances have profanity filters or don’t allow NSFW content
I couldn’t find an easy way to see how each instance was configured, so I used lemmy-stats-crawler and GitHub actions to discover all the Lemmy Instances, query their API, and dump the information into a data table for quick at-a-glance comparison.
I hope this helps others with a smooth migration to lemmy. Enjoy :)
abraxas said he was a typescript vet just earlier, maybe we can coax him into having a look? xD
Worth a shot at least.
EDIT: Just shot him a message
Unfortunately I also have very little free time. If you’re not in a hurry and nobody does it before me, I can take a look. Wish I could set a reminder in Lemme. Anyone code the remindme bot yet? LOL.
!remindme 1 week
EDIT: Well shit, yes the deadline for a lot of things is next monday isn’t it. Lemme see if I can squeeze in a little time tomorrow morning or evening, if one of my jobs isn’t overwhelmingly crazy, I might be able to. It’s just adding a few links in the “Lemmy Servers” body text? Any UI standard?
I’m a TS vet, but green on lemmy UI design.
deadline is next monday lol
Updated my original message. If I can make time, I need a little more precise info about what/where on the links. It looks like a short enough PR as long as I know exactly what the links should look like
