  • This basically shuts my idea down

    it’s not very difficult to modify the code for something like this… and closing off registration wont’ let anyone else login and create new content form your istance.

    Personally the load on the major servers by having one more instance that subscribes to everything is why I think people should back off from creating more than the 1500 instances Lemmy network already has. Delivery of every single vote, comment, post 24 hours a day just so one person can read content for an hour or two a day.

    That makes sense for email systems where all that content doesn’t have to be sent, but for Lemmy it’s a huge amount of overhead.



  • Recently I’ve noticed my feed has become almost entirely the main meme instance. The algorithm gives me 4 meme posts then a technology post then load more memes

    Yes, same issue, and I’m using lemmy-ui…

    Lemmy’s backend Top/Active/Hot are pretty primitive. I’m experimenting with some ways to weigh smaller less-popular communities… because +20 vote on meme topics is noise, but +20 on some focused community can be a big deal. hot_rank doesn’t take that into account and just looks at published date and score. It’s pretty tricky to get new things into the backend, so it may be a while.

    I am sorry to all the never-joined, never-stayed users of Lemmy in May, June, July 2023 “Tweet is X”, “Reddit is $API” ------ because I could not draw enough attention and developers to Github Issue #2910 avoidance. I failed entirely in my social effort I tried to do for 60+ days. I really failed, brain damaged fuck-up I am. The worst failure in my life, and it’s the end of the line.


  • I’m not sure if there’s a minimum Postgres version specified anywhere in the docs, I took a quick look but couldn’t find it.

    I do not find it in the “From Scratch Install” documentation. I will work to revise those documents this weekend to warn people that 0.18.3 and later is incompatible. Thank you again for sharing.

    Heads-up that a new issue on GitHub reporting this problem upgrading from 0.18.2 to 0.18.3:

    thread 'main' panicked at 'Couldn't run DB Migrations: Failed to run 2023-07-08-101154_fix_soft_delete_aggregates with: syntax error at or near "trigger"', crates/db_schema/src/utils.rs:221:25 note: run with 'RUST_BACKTRACE=1' environment variable to display a backtrace

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3756

    If you use “Lemmy from scratch” install,

    you may be on an older PostgreSQL that Ubuntu distro provides, not the same as the Docker install method.
