It’s over. Reddit is done. Lemmy has porn now. Lol. Jk.
The final tipping point
Not sure if you’ve thought about it yet but consider modifying Lemmy’s source (shouldn’t be too hard of a patch) to show NSFW tagged posts to logged out visitors. (And maybe force-tag all outgoing federated stuff as NSFW? Though that might be difficult for very little gain) It looks like a ghost town from the outside and that’s not gonna be helpful if you want any content
Speaking of content, good luck on the moderation. You’re gonna need it
In general, it feels like Lemmy could use a better built-in method to discover remote communities, PeerTube as one example has their Sepia Search for remote discovery.
Just to be clear, https://browse.feddit.de/ does exist, but as it’s a separate system its usefulness isn’t as high.
I am a web developer with Rust knowledge. So I can do it. I’m will think about it.
If you can that would be awesome! It also makes sense from a discoverability standpoint.
Why don’t communities show up on lemmy?
!porn@lemmynsfw.com for example can’t be found if I search for the community porn under all.
https://lemmy.ml/c/porn@lemmynsfw.comdoesn’t exist either, but shouldn’t it?
Is it a federation thing? does lemmy.ml not federate with lemmynsfw?
Is it too new to show up still?what is the catch there?
It can be about lemmy.ml using allow list instead of allowing every instance. They may add it to allowlist or blacklist. Not sure.
but your main community !lemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com does show up when you search for nsfw
https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com works as well.so your instance would have to be on the allowlist, but do you have to allow communities as well?
Ok checked instance list and we’re allowed. Can you check the url again? Because it working for me right now.
yeah, it just started showing up, pretty sure.
but porninfifteenseconds@lemmynsfw.com still doesn’t show up (at this point)
and https://lemmy.ml/c/porninfifteenseconds@lemmynsfw.com doesn’t (yet) work.But I guess it’s a time thing then? takes a bit to sync, especially under current loads
You should search the url (https://lemmynsfw.com/c/porninfifteenseconds) in lemmy.ml site to let lemmy.ml fetch the community. I know it should work with accessing directly to the url but not working right now.
For future reference, that’s exactly it.
to find a federated community that no one else has searched for, you need to go to the searchpage on your instance, like:
https://lemmy.ml/search
then search for the whole URL, like:
https://lemmynsfw.com/c/porninfifteenseconds
then it should show up.
Although I’ve had it that the search page needed a reload and that it first showed no results and after that switched to the found community.Lemmy seems really janky when it comes to this
Communities that haven’t been subscribed to yet on an instance take a few minutes to show up after you search for them. This is something the need to fix: the delay is fine, but the need to provide useful user feedback, “connecting to community, check back in a few minutes”
Just got this trying to get to your instance: 404: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site? reason: Unexpected token ‘T’, “Timeout oc”… is not valid JSON
Yeah. The instance was down for a while. I’m investigating the problem.
