  • who in turn have their own API, which we have a wrapper API for.

    Oh noooo!

  • Cheezus Crust!

  • The current Lemmy UI doesn't display the reason. use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to login and you should see the reason. In any case, please join our appeals channel (it's in the sidebar) and we can sort you out.

  • I don't get why anyone would publish v2 when it not really on feature-parity. Do companies really start releasing v2 endpoints slowly?

  • Voat shut itself down. It basically speedrun the reddit refugees > reddit conservatives > reddit nazis within months and then it spent the rest of its life with nazis trying to out-nazi each other, until its owner finally realized what their version of "free speech" really means.

  • I'm not quite sure what you're talking about? This is neither our user, nor our comm, (nor does it seem the post you screenshot was racist)

  • You need to somehow get your url out. Usually if you're just "generalist" people don't see a big reason to register compared to something like lemm.ee. Also new servers have another issue is that one doesn't know if they'll be around long enough. We've lost so many small servers in lemmy when their admins discovered it was more trouble than it was worth.

  • 46K active users is nothing to sneeze at. Most old school forums were hella active with just 1K

  • You don't see the link I posted?

  • Captcha and email verification are trivially defeated by bots. If just getting lurkers is a concern, try using a registration application form like we do. Do you at least see these lurkers as MAU? (i.e. just voting)

  • Nice!

  • Every reddit shock, more people register on lemmy, as it's the only valid alternative, then around 10-30% of those stick around. The more reddit enshittifies, the more shocks it will experience until a tipping point is reached.

    The latest one only got weakened by reddit panicking and rolling back their "bug". My suspicion is the next time they will try to enforce it, they will first make sure all lemmy links are banned.

  • Most providers like hetzner and contabo already provide ddos protection. No everyone needs ddos protection anyway and the privacy issue its not certain with cloudflare either not would I argue that the costs are worth it.

  • Just host your own reverse proxy. It's not hard

  • That one is stale. Now it's all pepes and wojaks and trollface has also gone all but extinct.

  • Not really uploaded. There's plenty of mastodon instances which have open distribution of CSAM or Loli (A look at our blocklist on fediseer can show just how many there are. Non-risky link btw.). All one needed to do is use that service to retrieve one of those posts using its own search function.

  • The mindless GenAI hate is really off the scales on mastodon. I run a FOSS GenAI volunteer service and was trying to join a popular non-profit on mastodon and the non-profit itself got bulled so much that they dropped us. Some of those scolds even tried to bully me because I run the Fediseer.

    Fortunately the lemmy crowd is a bit more reasonable with integrations like these.

  • Now that's some proper boomer humor
