v1 excites me! As someone who has been using Lemmy since v0.17.0, I must say that Lemmy has improved tremendously.

You’re welcome. You have probably checked it by mistake. It is a bit confusing as there are about 10 checkboxes in the settings :)

You have checked “bot account” in your account settings.

It’s cool but without legacy support, there’s no way mainstream attention. Do what Tutanota does, encrypt whenever possible.

This depends on the instance of the video being used. Some instances clone a copy of the video, some use proxies, and some send the link directly to the user. I don’t recommend it if you have limited bandwidth.

Agreed. This is not YC news.

Beauty of fediverse. An instance with thousands of users and posts goes down, fediverse still lives.

You were waiting for this one for a month, aren’t you? :)

I’ve been waiting for this thanks 🙏

Yeah that would work. I also recommend you to check Lemmy Federate.

Allow list is explicit. If you allow at least one instance, all others will be blocked. You only allowed the following instances:

• lemmy.world
• sh.itjust.works
• beehaw.org
• programming.dev

You can also search “fep-ef61”

Better proposal: portable objects.

That’s why I said “IIRC” because I don’t remember either 🙂

IIRC WebTorrent support is removed. Is torrenting completely off the table?

I’m glad you added lemmy.ml 🙏 Yes, you just need to create a bot account and add it. Communities are added/updated periodically.

It was something like Universal Lemmy Redirect

I created this tool and have been using it in my instance since the very beginning. My instance is almost 2 years old and it’s total database size is 60.2GB.

What people don’t understand about this tool is:

• If a community is generating enough activity, it’s likely that someone from your instance is already following that community.
• If a community isn’t generating enough activity, it won’t create much of a network/storage burden anyway.

Sure, it will make a small difference, but it’s nothing compared to the benefits it provides.

Do you think serving images from torrent would work? This can be done easily in the browser with Webtorrent, but I think it might be a bit problematic in mobile applications (maybe the image_proxy endpoint could come in handy here for a hybrid solution).

If it is in the roadmap, I can add this feature to the web UI as a start. Because it makes perfect sense :)

Thanks for the changes 🙏 I wonder, is 0.19.8 going to be last 0.19 before 0.20? I’m planning to upgrade if its stable enough.
