Did you try these searches while logged in or anonymously? Lemmy (and probably other platforms) don’t allow searches for remote objects unless you’re logged in, this prevents abuse of server resources. The fact that you’re getting replies and you can see them and reply to them means it’s probably all working fine.
Because if I didn’t use Discord then I would be the only one in the community. Discord has a massive userbase especially with gamers. You give them a Discord link and there’s a decent chance you’ll see them join and post a message. Give them any other link and they’ll never make an account, they probably won’t even click the link to see it.
I provide links for Discord, Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Steam group, and GitHub. I see lots of people come in on Discord, but 0 on the others except for myself lol.
Only the few actual contributors use the GitHub, don’t think I’ve ever seen a non-programmer submit a bug report on my GitHub or use the discussions or leave any comments on releases or anything.
I’m also on Moddb and NexusMods, got a few comments on Moddb, none on Nexusmods yet.
I also have Twitch and YouTube of course, I get small numbers of people commenting on those.
Nobody has even asked for any other type of community, Discord is just want they want. If I just wanted to talk to myself then I wouldn’t bother creating a community/forum at all.
oh btw 3rd party apps aren’t working with 0.19.0 yet, because of changes to the authentication API
Well now you can use :0.19.0-rc.5 :)
it’s in alpha currently, but you could still run it
I think you might have to use the :dev tag to get this update, a bit risky to stay on that tag though, maybe wait for the next docker image of an alpha release
in v0.19.0 Lemmy will automatically delete entries over 7 days old
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4113
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/commit/cb01427dcff14b3d88e30220695fc97978786a9a
currently it waits 3 months before deleting
yes you’re right, also that config flag was renamed to cache_external_link_previews
in v0.19.0 you could try disabling pictrs caching https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/commit/1d23df37d86cc5cb6d7d9efaaf4360ecc9a9796f
cache_external_link_previews: false
I don’t think that will clear the existing cache though
I setup Gogs once like 6 years ago or something lol, I remember it being pretty easy and it is nice. Although if Gitea is more actively maintained then it’s probably worth giving that a shot first.
looks like the 0.19.0 backend will support it, but idk if it’ll be exposed in the frontend yet https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397
This is really great, it’s basically the same effect as what OP is doing when browsing c/All on a large instance, except you can do it on a small instance and without using an insane amount of system resources on your server
I don’t hold it against them, it’s just unfortunate that they’ve been having so much downtime recently, certainly more than most other good instances
Yeah but why give new users a bad experience, you’re just gonna drive them away from Lemmy and they never come back
Also we’re overly centralized on them, we need to decentralize better, both users and communities
lemmy.world really needs to close signups and the creation of new communities, until they can improve their uptime
or they should at least be removed from https://join-lemmy.org/instances maybe it could track the uptime and use that to build the list?
but Reddit actually does go down pretty often too
Mirror for that lemmy.world post since they’re currently down…
for 2. maybe just say bring your own games? BYOG
this is such a good idea I can’t believe it isn’t already the standard lol
He called Git simple lol. Some good points here though. GIMP is definitely a bit clunky. Kdenlive does crash a lot for me, and often fails to recover the autosave, and it renders slowly. But there’s a lot of other good open source programs too. Firefox, OBS, Blender, some people in the comments were saying Krita but I haven’t tried it yet. There’s also Chromium and VSCode but obviously those are backed by huge companies.
