Yes, the about site needs a lot of work. The demo site is using the Lemmy frontend but Java Springboot backend. The whole intent of the first milestone release is to be a drop-in replacement for Lemmy. It's after that where we will differentiate with things like better moderation/admin support, etc... The federation service will be built in Golang. And yeah, we need to do a lot more work on outlining what work needs to be completed in the form of issues. Those 8 for sure are things that need to be done though.

Hi @synlogic@toot.io appreciate it, but we have no budget for paying contributors (we aren't even covering base costs let along paying ourselves). This is an open source project where we don't have any plans to monetize the platform itself (we might consider building things down the line that are paid add-ons, but nothing that would be essential for running your own instance self-hosted)

 

I got my ADD diagnosis today (no "h" as I don't meet the criteria for hyperactivity). It felt validating to hear a doctor say what I've felt for a while now.

 

I relate with this sooo much.

 

Hey all,

I’m going to change the frequency of the question bot from daily to weekly. It seems to get a few upvotes every so often, but very little engagement. My hope with having it at all was to create an “ice breaker” type post to get others to feel open enough to engage in the community. Let me know your thoughts though if you would rather it be even less often or not at all.

Something else to consider here would be some kind of batching. A system doing this check should group users together by instance and make a single call to that instance. Something like: "Hey, I have this list of users from your instance. Are they all still active? A, B, C, D..." Reply: "From your request, here is the list of users that I found in my database: A, D". Now the calling system would know it should remove all data for users B & C.

 

Hey everyone,

I'm working on some automation that I will add to a bot account for posting the daily question. I'd love if anyone has suggestions for questions/topics. I'll add a credit mention for you if I use a submission (or keep you anonymous if you want). Feel free to reply here or DM me

 

Here is today's question:

Share a piece of advice you would give your younger self

 

Hey all, I’m going to try posting a “daily” question (I say “daily” because I very likely will forget to post a question every day). Here’s the first one:

What positive qualities can you acknowledge and celebrate in yourself today?
