Lemmy Development Update 2023-09-22
Some years ago we used to post weekly development updates to let the community know what we are working on. For some reason we stopped posting these updates, but now we want to continue giving you information every two weeks about the recent development progress. This should allow average users to keep up with development,...
Why is Lemmy so heavy on the CPU? (Firefox + Windows 10)
Lemmy is the only website that causes my CPU fan to ramp up, other than games or heavy 3D stuff. Why is that?...
Moved my Lemmy instance to a new host - none of my content is federating out
As the title says… I moved my lemmy instance from one host to a new host. The domain remains the same....
Could a "login with lemmy" replace all the login with Google/Facebook we see everywhere?
I love the convenience of not having to create a password everywhere I need to be authenticated. It would be interesting to be able to use lemmy instead of feeding more information to these big corporations.
Do you feel a sense of loyalty to your instance?
I feel like I’ve formed some sort of faithfulness towards dbzer0 and have a bias towards subs and users of my instance. Anybody else in the same boat?
Why do lemmy posts, particularly image, often have the wrong title on it only to be corrected upon refreshing?
In case this is an app issue, i’m on eternity. Unlikely to be an instance issue i’ve noticed this several times on my alt too.
What are your thoughts on the idea of adding an edit history feature to posts, and comments in Lemmy?
I believe that the addition of an edit history would be a massive boon to the usefulness of Lemmy on the whole. A common problem with forums is the relatively low level of trust that users can have in another’s content. When one has the ability to edit their posts, and comments this invites the possibility of misleading the...
Anyone has informations about compuverse.uk instance?
My previous account was on compuverse.uk, tho since about 1 week I cannot access the instance at all. I suppose either the hosting service destroyed it. The maintainer disappeared Or there are bigger issues about cloudflare routing or server issues....
r/RedditAlternatives doesn't like a Reddit Alternative ( lemmy.ml )
Make the vote UI consistent
I can see downvotes on comments, but on posts there’s only a total score. Can you please make the UI consistent by either giving posts both up and down votes visibility, which would be my preferred course of action, or make comments have only a total value shown like posts? It’s a pet peeve of mine, I mainly just want to see...
Is it possible having a lot of communities blocked is affecting the performance of the server I'm on?
I have a lot of communities blocked. Sometimes when I would block, they wouldn’t get blocked, so I’d have to block again. I assume it could be just server temporarily blacking out, but I was wondering if it could be actually related to the community blocks I have. I don’t use any apps, just the browser version with the...
Lemmit.online changes - Expansion stop and community cleanup
cross-posted from: lemmit.online/post/1047028 - because ironically this will not reach instances where Lemmit is blocked....
Can I block entire instances?
Is it possible to block entire instances? I see I can block by user or community, but not by instance....
Is it possible Lemmy's API changes the way reddits did?
I don’t mean the recent selling API rights at absurd costs but when they went from open sourcish to closed.
Lemmy Development Update 2023-10-06
Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program....
Why is join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance? ( sh.itjust.works )
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/6400327...
What I like about lemmy is how often I come across account names and think oh I've interacted with you before.
Familiar faces resurfacing is nice and only possible on a smaller sized platform. Or clicking someones profile only to see a post I previously saw or commemted on.
Fediverse uptime badge
I’ve wanted a badge that shows the instance uptime and couldn’t find any, so I created one. It’s available at uptime.lemmings.world/{your-domain}.svg and gets its data from fediverse.observer....

Options to mute reply notifications?

would it be simpler for people if we said "server" instead of "instance"?
or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word “proxy”, “host”, or “hub” is simpler...
Might be a good idea to have a contest for a new join-lemmy.org layout and wording?
Right now, unless someone is linked to an instance directly, the first point of entry is usually join-lemmy.org, and let’s face it, it’s completely uninviting....
anyone sorting posts by New Comments much?

Could we get a "delayed new" sort on Lemmy?
Because of the time it takes for mods to moderate content on Lemmy, the"new" sort’s been prone to abuse....
