  • Is defederation from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works still necessary?

  • The kind of people who keep calling it an essay are the exact kind of people I don’t want around anyway.

    The TLDR behavior and won't click offsite links and references and want a constant stream of tiny little ideas. There was a time when Reddit wasn't like that and it became the culture of TLDR and downvote-disagree.

    Reddit could have single-handedly taken on clickbait in 2014 or earlier by people replacing news headlines with sincere earnest descriptions. But the clickbait became what people swam in.

  • Given how unstable Lemmy's performance is, adding even more incoming activity is likely to cause more crashes and problems. And it isn't as if there are aren't 1200 other Lemmy instances out there who are showing content from Lemmy.world

    I remember when Beehaw's signup code in Lemmy was so broken that there was a huge backlog.

    It seems to me that Lemmy overall has slowed down a lot,

    That's helped with the crashes in recent weeks, less data, less crashing. Lemmy.world has over 9000 communities, moderating all those entrances is huge, and the SQL performance problems in Lemmy are aggravated by all that additional data.

  • There Should Not Be “Religious Exemptions” To Laws

    Jump

  • My problem with laws is that people rarely pay attention to their growth and creation, and if they do, it's often with the intention of adding more.

    There never was supernatural laws, yet people still largely want to regulate how their neighbors dress, marriage approval, etc. I really don't think religion came from the sky, I think it absorbed what people already wanted. And I think there are modern-day meme systems that are just as much a force as any classic easily-identified religion from 1500 years ago or older.

  • The constant crashes of Lemmy from performance issues have really been hard on me, because I just don't like seeing it happen to people. It's honestly been the worst web site in terms of stability I've used in over a decade.

    Lots of good comments here on this discussion.

  • Meta Just Proved People Hate Chronological Feeds

    Jump

  • I think this is bullshit.

    I think it is exactly how people are behaving. And I can even recall witnessing many people first hand who flip a newspaper to the sports section. Never learning anything about science news, medical news, unless it's some kind of social column about a diet.

    People wanting to cut out and block things they don't want to read in a newspaper is what I consider the "default behavior" of most of humanity. No surprise they do not care about the news their friends share. An intelligent computer system that filters out (based on topic/content study) what they don't want to see before-hand is always going to be popular with such people.

  • Information Overload - Beehaw style

    Jump

  • This gets it’s own section. Look, the largest issue with Lemmy performance is currently the database. We’ve spent a lot of time attempting to track down why and what it is, and then fixing what we reliably can. However, none of us are rust developers or database admins. We know where Lemmy spends its time in the DB but not why and really don’t know how to fix it in the code. If you’ve complained about why is Lemmy/Beehaw so slow this is it; this is the reason.

    There is a dedicated Lemmy community, !lemmyperformance@lemmy.ml

  • ANNOUNCEMENT: defederating effective immediately from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

    Jump

  • it looks like there is no reddit alternative to a reliable subscription feed right now.

    Lemmy was not built for scale, and the everything from large-community moderation to federation message copying is going through problem identification and optimization.

    The Beehaw.org website is regularly malfunctions for me, showing the Lemmy 0.17.x problem of getting the wrong voting data on postings. Hopefully the forthcoming 0.18 removal of websockets will eliminate a lot of that.

    Lemmy, as it stands today, really isn't ready for anything near like the activity of from page /r/all community on Reddit.

  • Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers

    Jump

  • That's probably a big part. Web browsers can do ad blocking. Within the official Reddit app that's way more difficult.
