This would be neat to generate forum avatars, to show something similar to your real face.

The post yes, but not the comments at depth > 50.

No the max comment depth is generally lower now. However this doesnt affect comments created before upgrading.

Changing post.url from varchar(512) to varchar(2000) really messed up database performance so lemmy.ml became unusable. Turns out that column statistics are removed when the type is changed, so we had to run analyze as part of the migration. Seems like a bug in postgres.

Dont think I did, it was really a team effort. And in the end the working solution was suggested by @[email protected], thanks for that!

It will be rejected by the api (or by federation).

Correct, I suppose the ban button could be hidden from the ui in that case.

The average peasant in medieval Europe would certainly never see an African person in his lifetime.

Some people get faith and hope from Christianity. Or Islam, or Buddhistm or others. Nothing wrong with that.

Maybe there never was a real Jesus.

Do you think all of lemmy.ml is a single person? In this case its just the decision of a single moderator, nothing to do with admins.

With pleasure :)

You’re welcome :)

What a shame, I spent a lot of time working on syncthing-android (probably around four years). But in the end I stopped for the same reason, it’s very demotivating to be so reliant on a corporation like Google which is entirely indifferent or even hostile to open source apps. Every year with the new Android version there are new required features or mandatory changes to implement, and if you don’t comply they don’t allow publishing new app versions. That’s not a big deal for commercial apps with fulltime developers, but it’s a lot of work for small apps maintained by volunteers. And it’s never anything that would benefit syncthing-android or it’s users, just busywork that takes away from bug fixes and feature development.

The good thing about open source is that someone else can always pickup and continue the work. Google’s shenanigans were what drove me to server administration and backend development, which finally led me to work on Lemmy. The experience with syncthing-android definitely taught me a lot about how to run a popular open source project.

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!

Thank you, fixed!

Pictrs is only made for images (and videos), as the name implies. Supporting other types of files in pictrs wouldnt make much sense. This means that other file types would have to be stored by a different backend tool, or directly in Lemmy. As we are only two fulltime developers on Lemmy, we dont have the time or resources to work on this, and need to focus on the most popular features.

There is no way for admins or mods to modify user comments or impersonate users, except directly through the db which is unavoidable.

We had a very long discussion recently how vote privacy should be handled, and the current behaviour seems to be the best compromise.

Multi-communities is one of those popular features we are going to implement soon.

I wish this obsession with superhero movies would finally end. It’s been going on for what, more than ten years now? And it’s always the same, some bad guy wants to destroy the world (or the universe or the multiverse), then an excessive amount of cgi action happens and finally the good guys win.

Why not make some original movies with new stories, instead of rehashing the same old slop over and over again?
