  • lemmy.wtf 502 errors

  • This topic has had a lot of discussion, but backup plans are good indeed. Lemmy.wtf is small though, so I wouldn't worry about it and I believe Meldrik is coming back :) what happened with feddit.de was tragic. I wonder if they ever found out what happened to the admin.

  • Just pinged @meldrik@lemmy.wtf on matrix. Seems like he's been away from lemmy (or just not commenting) for a week.

    Edit: was made aware that he's away right now unfortunately :( hope he returns soon and resolves the issue!

  • I thought lemsha.re stopped working - guess not, that's good news! And such a cool feature by the dev with the voyager link. Haven't tried that feature out yet (voyager is my personal favourite lemmy app).

  • Ah must remember wrong or maybe it was proposed!

    Yeah the software would need to know, but in a way "lemmy" knows because it knows which instances your instance is federating with. If your instance isn't federating with the link target it cant find it anyway.

    Same as the ! Exclamation mark for communities or @ for users it can do a look up (you can put my link to your search input in lemmy and it will find it), but there would be otherways to achieve this too.

    But yeah it would be really nice to have some universal way like the ! And @ signs to point to another fedi post/comment.

  • No problem, I feel like fedistuff is so scattered and hidden that it's always worth mentioning your favourite tools :)

    The frontends and apps do redirect embedded links in comments no? E.g. if you click this it should automatically use your instance to find the comment (even though its a link to my instance): https://sopuli.xyz/comment/17606535

    Or maybe you mean when you paste an url to the browser that it should automatically redirect to your instance? If so thats tad bit difficult. There was once a post that proposed something like a activityPub/lemmy URI scheme where links would look like this: 

     
        
activitypub://<postorcommentidentifier>

    But I don't remember where that conversation led and also I have no idea how feasible that would be.

    Edit: added words

  • I agree with the other answers here, however if you share the link to another fediuser outside of the platform (e.g matrix) I really like sharing with threadiverse.link.

    Edit: an example using your post with threadiverse link (used my local instance to copy the post): https://threadiverse.link/sopuli.xyz/post/29845043

    You set your instance once into the cookies and it will always redirect to yours.

  • I had a look and determined I need bit more time for this all than just today (long work day and a lot of additional info + need to get into lemmy-ui codebase a bit).

    You've got some good points there, thank you! I'm not a UI or UX expert but it's a bit of a challenge reducing the amount of clicks and still keeping it mobile friendly without creating a screen full of options with several scrolls needed to reach the actual search, but I agree the goal should be less-actions.

    I think once I have a bit of a grasp on the project I'll try and submit my suggestion.

  • Ah good point!

    I'll hopefully manage to set up lemmy-ui locally at home after work and make that pull request - I edited that in with webdev tools since didn't want to lose that thought before I get home (sorry if this just pollutes the discussion).

  • Yeah there's a lot to consider here, good points. The language specific texts too to make it more search selection context based. This would need to be thought through to not make it more confusing.

  • I'm not a UI or UX expert, but I wonder if it would make the search page nicer if instead of the search target (form select) would be tabs instead of a dropdown since it is distinct selection from the other filters in the search?

    using bootstrap tabs (I didn't put any effort into styling just added bootstrap tabs and removed the form select butto dropdown):

    Edit: now that I think about it, the tab might be kinda confusing unless also the other dropdowns are slightly altered to give more context in the current form selection tab, e.g. (text changes):

    But yeah I just wanted to throw out ideas, I'm not sure about them myself. The search inside a community is nice addition!

  • I wouldn't say no one who isn't running linux isn't going to see this:

    I know that I switched over to linux because of the sheer amount of advocacy and info posts for beginners on lemmy. I used to only use linux servers at work, but lemmy convinced / helped me to switch fully to linux! :)

    Edit: just to clarify: I mean this post will get shared around on spaces with noobs like me, even if its on peertube and im not "on it"

  • Oh god.. You'll have to learn IIS. Internet Inf🤮rmation Services.

    In all seriousness Windows Server is much more enjoyable than Home/Pro/Enterprise or whatever the desktop versions are called. You have more control over the system and they don't hinder you from configuring stuff unlike on the desktop version.

    Someone already suggested to get a VPS and just get to know the system. A tip though if you have to spin up a windows server on Azure vs somewhere else: search for info with the keyword "azure". Microsoft stuff seems to work worse on their own cloud than anywhere else. MS SQL Server and Azure's version of MS SQL Server differs and lacks features.

    Been a long time since I had to use any of the above so things might have changed.

  • Views that seriously harm or endanger other people are dangerous.

    If the founder would have opposing views in e.g. should we narrow down the car roads in cities and widen the pedestrian walks - ok. I think there's a lot to this question, I think pedestrian walks should be wider, cars are dangerous, etc. But this is not as dangerous as:

    "Do you deny scientific evidence that COVID is real and a real danger to a lot of humans"

  • SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder's positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he's also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I've lost receipts to that.

    I did not know this. I've seen people recommend SimpleX on lemmy too, but probably they didn't know.
