Right I will also have to make a template with these common parts of the release announcement. Instance blocking is not implemented yet, but it uses the same federation library as Lemmy so that will be easy to add when its needed.

Thank you, fixed!

In principle it’s finished, but last time we put it on lemmy.ml for testing there were performance problems and we had to revert. So far it’s not clear what caused those problems, so we need to try again somehow.

Ah yes Im a liability to Lemmy which wouldnt even exist without my work. Troll harder kiddo.

Not sure, I just got back to work this week and need to catch up with everything.

Big words from someone who posts anonymously, and who never contributed anything positive to the internet.

I just checked out your website, you have a lot of active projects, impressive! I only work on Lemmy, fulltime, but yet there is way too much work.

That’s only one developer, but you were talking in plural. What other Lemmy dev are you referring to?

It seems there are always people on the internet who spread negativity about those who actually create things. Best you can do is ignore them.

I haven’t seen that community before. Some people have way too much time on their hands to keep posting about things they dislike. But at least it proves that censorship on Lemmy is impossible, when not even us developers can do it.

Wait, when have I ever denied any genocide?

I pay around 80€ per month for the lemmy.ml server, plus a few euros for image hosting and domain. So that’s around 3 cents per active user.

I believe there is still an open issue on Github for this, but no one was interested to help implement and test it. So use the search function and contribute!

Thanks!

Please open an issue for this if there isn’t already one. Then I can have a look once the summer holidays are over.

Interop with microblogging is not the main purpose of Lemmy. The main purpose is to have a federated Reddit, with federation between Lemmy instances. That it can also connect with other platforms like Mastodon is more like a neat side effect.

We created Lemmy from the very start with federation in mind. But it was always meant to be a Reddit alternative, which means community focused. I don’t see any reason to add user following when that’s already supported by a dozen other Fediverse platforms, and would only dilute our main focus. I believe in the Unix philosophy: do one thing and do it well.

Activitypub is based on Activitystreams, and doesn’t define any types of its own. Lemmy is fully compliant with the Activitypub standard as far as I know.

Not true.
