We’ve definitely noticed an increase in signups at lemmy.ca when that news was announced. Not all active users yet, but a lot of signups

Valid. I’ll just have to accept that.

I’m sorry that’s how you interpreted my post, as I did not want to imply this was an issue specific to lemmy.world or mean it as an attack upon them.

I’ve edited my post to not name the instance and try to make it more clear about my concerns for the fediverse as a whole, rather than their admin activities.

I’m looking for more of a conversation with the community here on what we want to see from the Fediverse.

I don’t think this is a lemmy.world specific issue at all, and I don’t think they meant any harm by removing the thread. They were just being good admins and trying to stay on top of reports.

I don’t need to move to another instance, I help run lemmy.ca. I don’t like that external users may be seeing a censored version of our / other peoples communities, and I think the community as a whole should be aware of this so they can discuss if they are ok with it.

I’m not sure what you’re referring to here? If a post violates local laws of an instance then sure the admins are justified in removing it, but that wasn’t the case here. Am I misunderstanding you?

Images aren’t federated, but their thumbnails are stored in your instance. You can prune those though as needed.

Lol Wat.

Op, just budget 200gb for lemmy and you’ll be fine. Our entire lemmy.ca server is only using 100gb. It’ll be a good learning experience!

Also, check out jellyfin as a possible alternative to plex.

It didn’t seem to impact everything.

I personally hate all the reddit cross post stuff, and it seems like the majority of lemmy users do too. I don’t understand why people obsess over this as a way to “grow” lemmy.

It doesn’t contribute to active conversations, in fact it deters users who reply locally and then never get a response.

Just let lemmy grow organically by making good content and contributing, stop forcing it with mirrors from reddit.

I wonder if we could get the top admins to threaten defederation with any instance that doesn’t flag automated posts as bots. This way at least the users have some visibility.

Yes, most admins are in a matrix chat.

One liner to get into postgres:

docker exec -it lemmyca_postgres_1 psql -U lemmy

Show only the instances not updated in past 3 days:

 select * from instance where updated < current_date-3;

Fix those old rows:

update instance set updated = current_date where updated < current_date - 3;

There was a beta signup? 😭
