Yes it was interesting finding communities banned from Reddit who seemed like they had been here awhile.

I can’t find it now. The number that I saw was 1.09 million, but I can’t find the site I saw it on now. I think a bunch of them must be purged spam accounts maybe.

I don’t think people really understand that reddit is an 18 year old product. Their original site was iterated on for 10 years before they stopped building on it.

Lemmy will get there and beyond. As the fediverse attracts more users, it will also attract more contributors. I’m starting to learn Rust myself in hopes I can contribute to the project at some point down the line.

Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.

If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.

Totally agree. Each sub top mod should submit one good post per day at a minimum.

What Lemmy needs now more than anything is commenters. If the site is to succeed, it needs robust comment sections.

I don’t generally block anyone on social media. I don’t want to block racists and then not be able to report their racism.

I remember back when you could only download one song at a time from there. But you’re right. There is an insane amount of good music there.

I was trying to but the instance was down.

Yes, I’m sure.

Is etree.org not still up?

just admit you were wrong. It’s ok.

Thank you for this post. I was hoping I could ask you a couple of questions because I also had to make some modifications to get Lemmy up and running. I don’t have email yet because my isp blocks post 25 and I haven’t gotten around to requesting an unblock yet.

I see you’ve modified your hjson file to use gmail. The default config syntax for email is:

email: {
    smtp_server: "postfix:25"
    smtp_from_address: "noreply@{{ domain }}"
    tls_type: "none"
  }```

My question is, can I just drop in your email syntax with my information and the instance will use gmail instead of the default?

Cool. I didn’t really want to make a patreon account.

You’re doing a great job so far. Thanks for the update.

make it so

How do I gild this comment?

I’ve noticed that some of the pieces that make up RES are already out there, they’re just not part of one extension. I do expect that will happen at some point in the near future.

You are a legend for this.

Thanks for posting the userscript. I’m seeing lots of RES type features like this and hoping they’ll be rolled into one at some point.
