What happened to Memmy? by HorseFD in c/memmy@lemmy.ml

[-] HorseFD@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I’ve been using Mlem and it’s really good. Everyone else has mentioned Voyager so I’m gonna give that a try too.

It doesn’t seem to exist anymore, on the App Store at least. I can see this community is basically dead. Does anyone know the story?

The article refers to the iPhone app’s ”recent” release, which was 10 years ago.

As long as they keep all the historical stuff available.

More anti-Lemmy brigading with massive upvotes on Reddit as the 3rd party app apocalypse looms by HorseFD in c/technology@lemmy.ml

I'm not knowledgeable enough on the software to respond to these claims, but the great thing about open source software is that you can raise these as issue on Github and they can be fixed.

Reddit activated a word filter that whenever you say "fuck spez", your comment won't show up for anyone else. I just tested it on ModCoord. they're also deleting spez memes from the subs they nuked lo by HorseFD in c/reddit@lemmy.world

This guy is turning more and more into a Musk wannabe by the day.

Is there a guide to hosting Lemmy on an ARM64 machine? (lemmy.world)

I'm interested in running Lemmy on an ARM64 host, mostly just for fun and because it's possible.

I've tried a couple of things without getting it right yet:

Building from scratch on Ubuntu 20.04 This went quite well but I was unable to get pict-rs working, so there was no image hosting. I followed this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html I had to build imagemagick to get the ARM64 binary, however pict-rs did not run. Is it correct that it's included with the lemmy-server binary or am I understanding how it works wrong?

Using Docker images I was able to get Lemmy up and running using 0.17.3 ARM64 docker images (unfortunately 0.17.4 images don't exist yet). I set up an nginx reverse proxy on the host and was able to access the instance OK, however there was no connectivity between my instance and external sites. Looking in the logs I saw timeout errors:

lemmy_1     | LemmyError { message: None, inner: Request error: error sending request for url (https://kbin.social/u/Emptiness): operation timed out
lemmy_1     | 
lemmy_1     | Caused by:
lemmy_1     |     0: error sending request for url (https://kbin.social/u/Emptiness): operation timed out

So I was wondering if anybody had a guide out there to hosting Lemmy (preferably 0.17.4) on an ARM64 host, either by building it from scratch or by using Docker images. Or any other method really.

Uhhhh, What the fuck is happening at /mildlyinteresting??? by HorseFD in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

I’m hoping people will leave when their favourite app no longer works on July 1. Maybe some of the app developers will move over to Lemmy.

Is Kbin lemmy? I’m so confused! by HorseFD in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Your instance becomes aware of the existence of another instance when just one user subscribes to a community there. From then on it will appear in all.

I just hopped on today and the site is very unusable right now by HorseFD in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

I'll be very happy when this update gets rolled out.

Talking about bugs, any word on when there will be a fix for the upvote count wildly jumping around on posts?

The new Lemmy.world logo (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by HorseFD@lemmy.world to c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

I can see it's the Lemmy logo with a big LW over the top of it and coloured like the Earth. But it kind of looks like a strange, colourful fly.

Is this logo here to stay forever? I was quite fond of the simple globe that we had before.

Could federation be a turn-off for more 'mainstream' users? by HorseFD in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

[-] HorseFD@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Can't you just log in to your Lemmy instance and search the communities by clicking the communities button? You just need to look at "all" instead of "local" communities.

It seems to have settled at ~900 for me.

I'll stick with Mastodon. Is it a slight improvement over Musk, though? I guess.

No idea why you'd pre-order this. The sensible route is to get a trial of Game Pass (or a free month doing Microsoft Rewards) and try it out. If you like it, either buy it or continue with your Game Pass subscription.
