This is the primary reason why I’m ok for my instance to not grow massively. We got 10K people and we have pretty good traffic ,without overloading us or making too much of a target. We still get new users since we allow registrations, but the application requirements retain the quality

I guess it’s self explanatory but I keep seeing all this stuff about how everyone is moving from Reddit to lemmy and I’m wondering if anyone knows if that’s really what’s happening. If you have numbers that’s even better....
It’s not going to be twice the content though. It’s either going to be split between the two, or, most likely, just seeing double-posts as one is crossposted to the other
Nobody said anything about choice. But you can use your kbin account to read lemmy communities through kbin, and you can use lemmy account to read kbin communities through lemmy. There’s just no reason to have 2 communities.

You don’t need to pirate OpenAI. I’ve built the AI Horde so y’all can use it without any workarounds of shenanigans and you can use your PCs to help others as well.
Here’s a client for LLM you can run directly on your browser: lite.koboldai.net
Unfortunately I’m not an expert in LLMs so I don’t know. I suggest you contact the KoboldAI community and they should be able to point you to the right direction

all these features and lack of featurs you can get with fedi software. The need for your friends to move so you can move is understandable, but eventually Tumblr will become so painful to use, the decision will be made for you.
<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">and the fact that they convert every bleeding image into a webp ↩︎
</span>
TBF, that’s actually good. .jpg and .png are ancient and .webp is way way better. The fault is not .webp, it’s browsers and clients which stubbornly refuse to support it.
i personally have had no compatibility issues with webp, i would rather my image formats are not owned by google, really. i would much rather use jpegxl, but chrome doesn’t support it because it competes with webp and we couldn’t have that, could we.
I mean, why do you even use chrome if google is your problem? :D
MySpace and digg still exist as well. Social media sites don’t die in the typical sense of the word, but they “die” nonetheless. More like abandoned malls than 6 feet under
The only tip is, be an active poster. If you start a community, you have to be the one regularly posting content until you get above like 1000 subs and others start posting consistently. If you can’t dedicate yourself to that, it won’t go anywhere
Lionir elected to prevent any potential data leaks by shutting down Beehaw until the issues lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are identified and resolved
Funnily enough, beehaw was the most protected from this vuln, as their more stringest application requirements made it unlikely the attacker got in. It also didn’t affect lemmy.dbzer0.com even though our application form is much simpler than theirs.
I’ve recently played with the idea of self hosting a LLM. I am aware that it will not reach GPT4 levels, but beeing free from restraining prompts with confidential data is very nice tool for me to have....
If you want to host a text model thats is reachable by you or anyone securely over the internet, I suggest you turn your pc into a worker for the ai horde. You would then be able to access the model you’re serving from everywhere but also everyone else’s llm and stable diffusion models with priority. You would also be improving the commons
Just got very lightly flamed by another user for making fun of crypto and was told that Lemmy and crypto have “the exact same advantages and disadvantages”.

Fuck doing this any easier to reddit. I’m of the mind to just remove all mods, set the community to restricted and if reddit wants to re-open it, they can find new mods themselves.
Unfortunately a few of the existing mods want to continue with reddit only and I’m not top mod anymore, so…
Hi, I was looking at different reverse proxies (Traefik, Caddy, NGINX, Apache (mod_proxy), HAProxy) - I wanted to run two instances of a reverse proxy on different devices for failover.

The original /r/piracy was purposefully gimped because Reddit received DMCAs for any random thing and didn't even bother to follow up.

Why Lemmy's Piracy Community Outshines r/Piracy?
r/Piracy on Reddit is more of a meme subreddit. I’ve never seen any actual discussion or valuable information as I do on this community. Why is that?
