In the short term

This was an exploit in lemmy software and affected multiple instances though

What if the web of trust is calculated with upvotes and downvotes? We already trust server admins to store those.

Small instances are cheap, so we need a way to prevent 100 bot instances running on the same server from gaming this too

Lemmy in the last few days is absolutely tiny compared to a site like reddit, and already instances are struggling to cope.

While this is true, 5 days ago lemmy.ml, the biggest instance, was on a 67 EUR server which is very small. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36270094

Posts like this: https://lemm.ee/post/58472 suggest it is a problem

This is a scaling problem (having more users means you need more mods) but I disagree with how they handled it and it isn’t a money related thing. My thoughts on this are in an older post when this was first announced https://partizle.com/comment/64178

Why should a handful of “lucky” servers have to pay all the hosting costs?

My initial idea is to use the something awful model of paying a one time fee to register an acount. The problem is that people would just sign up on another instance that doesn’t charge a fee but still add load to the lucky instance. Another approach could be to participate in communities on one of those lucky servers then you need to pay a one time fee to that server (comments would need to be removed by a bot if they’re not made by an approved user). I’m not saying that’s perfect, but it’s an idea. Adsense is another idea.

Here’s an idea: in apollo you swipe left on a comment to collapse the current commet’s thread, this would be nice too.

DJI is a chinese company and it is easier for them to just publish an apk rather than submit to all app stores

Maybe search results should link to archives rather than live urls

Mastodon users who want to stay on mastodon can subscribe to communities on lemmy and see each post as a tweet in mastodon

Kbin and lemmy are compatible but different projects

I don’t think it’s a problem. If you weren’t using activity pub and just something like reddit then if you were reddit (the sysadmin) you’d also deal with having to scale if your community gets really popular

Stuff that gets linked to also has the same problem

Oh it’s built with expo, nice!

Commenting through memmy. I love swiping right to upvote comments!

Ah, I might have mispoken. I did realize it was kind of a search box but I’ve had a really hard time getting it to reload when adding a new community that isn’t synced to my instance yet (so I keep switching to the browser to add communities)

First time using the fediverse and I don’t think it was hard at all.

Yeah Mlem doesn’t have a search feature yet so I’m just using mobile web browser

Thank you for your detailed answer. That makes sense. I also don’t like when things are commercialized and would rather have something like lemmy instances be either a co-op or funded by donations.

Do you think open source and free information for all mindsets can’t also believe in capitalism? If lemmy.ml was explicitly anticapitalist but they lost their identity due to the flood of new users like me then that’s regretable, but I wonder if you just don’t want capitalists on decentralized services or not.

It’s the first site on join lemmy
