@dessalines@lemmy.ml made various UI changes that seem controversial to me. Such as changing the theme colors or moving most post/comment actions from the action menu to the context menu. If you have strong opinions on the design it’s best to follow the repository on Github and comment in the issues or pull requests where these changes are made. Otherwise these may also get adjusted later during beta testing.

I live in Spain. The user donations alone would not be sufficient, but together with the money from NLnet it’s enough to pay the bills.

Of course I could earn much more money by working for a company. But I don’t like to be ordered around by a silly manager, be stuck in an office for 8 hours every day and get stressed working on a project I don’t care about. With Lemmy no one can tell me what I have to do, and it’s work that’s actually meaningful.

Hmm on lemmy.ml we dont have such a problem with RAM usage by Postgres. In our case total RAM usage is quite stable with 10 - 16 GB over the past month. Its also strange that restarting Lemmy would solve the problem, I would expect that you have to restart Postgres.

The list of popular communities is only loaded when a new instance is setup for the first time. For existing instances like slrpnk.net it wont be used at all.

has huge memory issues (ironically given that it is written in Rust) that the devs ignore since years,

What exactly do you mean by this? Did you report it on Github?

the next version will hardcode lemmy.ml as a source to pre-fetch popular communities

To be clear it uses the lemmy.ml api to get a list of most active communities. Most of these communities are not hosted on lemmy.ml, and the data looks almost identical to that from lemmyverse.net (more details).

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.

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.

This is a known issue and will be fixed in Lemmy 1.0: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5210

The best channel is through the issue tracker, for example github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui. In practice Im not sure how the UI could be changed to make this clearer. Do you have an idea, or an example how another website handles this?

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).

In theory apps can do anything that the website can, but this app probably hasnt implemented the feature yet.

We always dream, but usually we cant remember the dreams. It helps to keep a dream journal, ie every morning directly after waking up, write down as much as you remember from last nights dreams (or instead talk about it with someone). Over time you will remember more and more details.

You are using Piefed but this community is only for help with Lemmy.

This is a problem with your instance (lemmy.org) so you will have to contact the admin.

These logs are from the api, not from federation. So a client is trying to access posts and comments which dont exist. Is the Lemmy frontpage looking normal? Regarding federation, other instances would have marked your instance as dead by now. This should be reset automatically after a few days, or you can manually trigger it (eg unfollow and refollow remote communities).

I would also suggest you join the admin chat on Matrix to get more help: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-support-general:discuss.online

Por supuesto puedes hablar en Español por aquí.

It looks like Castopod is the main podcasting platform on the Fediverse. I had a quick look how it federates. Unlike Peertube it doesnt use groups, so it wont be possible to follow the podcasts from Lemmy. What you could do is make a Lemmy post with a direct link to the Castopod audio file so users can play it from Lemmy (that is after 1.0 is released with the audio player feature).

Sounds like an adoption of this bible text. Basically a version of karma.

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”

Please make a post in the community and link it here.

Sorry for the late reply, youre a mod now :)

It seems like there was a badly behaved script or possibly an attack.
