Yeah that means PyLova copied a lot of features from PieFed lol, that’s how forking works.

It does suck if it’s not all compatible though, I hope that gets figured out

I don’t think Zswap can be tuned like that.

The idea is that the Linux kernel wants to get rid of this page of memory only because it has something better to use that memory for. So if it’s uncompressible then it should go to swapfile for optimal performance. Otherwise it means something else is getting kicked to swapfile, and it wasn’t the kernel’s first choice to be moved to swap so that’s even worse, and what happens if that is also uncompressible? Now you’ve got a cascading failure.

I’m looking at https://normals.me/communities

I noticed these aren’t communities in the Lemmy sense, I can’t follow them from here because they pull from multiple sources. So what happens if one of your users posts to them? Where does that post go? How can a Lemmy user see that post and comment on it? Some of these say “Mirror of <a Lemmy community>” so those make sense, but not all of them have it.

Also this post https://normals.me/c/technology/01a1d122-a483-79c4-8a4a-37322d775c14/postgresql-sees-new-releases-for-52-security-vulnerabilities-140-bug-fixes

Your website shows 0 comments and it says “View on lemmy.world”, when I view on lemmy.world there’s 1 comment.

Spectacle is now even faster to launch, thanks to further optimizations and parallelizations. (Kai Uwe Broulik, spectacle MR #625 and spectacle MR #626)

very nice, the slight delay for taking screenshots can be a bit annoying when you’re trying to catch something

That won’t work because casual users don’t want to do anything. The 90/9/1 rule says that 90% of users don’t want to do anything, every extra click required scares them away.

That’s a good example. Or another example, if the fuckcars community brigaded the cars community’s moderator voting and voted in the worst moderators lol

Don’t like the mods at World?

That’s admins not moderators. Admins are for instances, moderators are for communities.

Go make your own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers. But that’s not sufficient. It takes years to build up a community to have enough people for meaningful discussion to happen, and nearly all communities or instances fail.

Define “fail”? Niche communities will have a limited audience of course, but if the moderators of a big community suck then people will move. It doesn’t take years to saturate the Threadiverse audience, the people are either here or they aren’t, but the people that are here and interested will join your community pretty quickly.

Elections should happen on a schedule and, if a community is particularly upset with a mod, a vote of no confidence can be taken.

Voting is really not much different from moving to a different community. Vote with your feet.

Careful, you could get banned saying stuff like that around here!

I had to laugh when you mentioned Linux as if it’s a requirement to use the Fediverse. It’s funny how everyone here loves Linux (including me).

When you make a Mastodon post, put @[email protected] at the bottom and that will do what you want

I don’t agree for Lemmy, they’ve shown some interest in working with and fixing bugs in relation to PieFed, Mbin, PeerTube, and to a lesser extent Mastodon (at least they added that hashtag feature).

But I agree with you for Mastodon, it almost seems like they want to push away the other platforms. It reminds me of the green bubbles in iMessage.

Did you know about [email protected] ?

Rare crossover with [email protected]

The ugliest vehicle I’ve ever seen, good riddance

If that happens then maybe its users will switch to Lemmy or PieFed when they realize it’s the same network

Even if it was completely vibecoded, who cares? It’s another funnel to bring people into the Fediverse. You don’t need to use it yourself, just be glad that there’s more ways to get people in here. It’s a different design with different UX, there’s always the chance that this will hook people who didn’t enjoy Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin/etc. The more the merrier.

Hello from RetroLemmy! Always fun to see a new platform join in

If by “this” you mean https://piefed.social/

It has nothing to do with lemmy.world completely different people

This is quite a turn of events. Glad to have you joining us.

My concern isn’t mainly who can see vote records. It’s that votes can influence which posts and comments people see.

Set your default sorting to “New Comments”, which is identical to how forums do it, ignoring votes entirely.

You can also disable downvoting if you wish.

I’m not exactly sure how Lemmy calculates scores or how much they affect visibility

I’m pretty sure Lemmy doesn’t consider downvotes beyond 3. Also voting doesn’t affect visibility, just sorting.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/ca5193d171987f19dc0891a225b9d0609b962a9d/migrations/2023-10-23-184941_hot_rank_greatest_fix/up.sql#L17

So the score can’t be downvoted to extreme negative sorting, there’s a limit.

Users can choose how votes factor into their feeds, and disabling downvotes locally won’t stop other instances from using their own votes.

Sort of. If the post/comment comes from one of your users and you have downvotes disabled, then your server will decline the downvotes, so other instances won’t see those declined downvotes.

If you still want to make changes you could consider making pull requests for additional config options, or keeping a soft fork
