If any Activitypub platform sends messages to an actor which they arent addressed to, thats clearly a bug.

Thing is that we dont have any information about someone who visits joinlemmy, other than the IP address which gives the location, and Accept-Language HTTP headers. So it attempts to give useful suggestions with that limited info.

Looks like youre right, I’m removing it.


There are multiple defaults on https://join-lemmy.org/


Its already solved, you get an automatic instance suggestion here: https://join-lemmy.org/


This is wrong, Lemmy doesnt send private messages to followers.


You are right.


This is not correct, Lemmy sends private messages only to the single recipient server. Other instances cannot access it at all.


Not public. Private messages can only be accessed by your own admin, and the admin of the recipient. Other instances cannot access it in any way.
Sorry forgot about that, you can view it now.


No problem, this is my job after all. And I got lucky to end up with a job like this :)


Thanks for letting me know! I made a fix, it should be deployed within half an hour.


Im not a designer, so for me its very difficult to make such changes. I prefer making a small adjustment rather than messing the whole thing up.


Thanks for your feedback! I made the theme colors a bit darker, what do you think? https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/pull/597
Now that you mention it, I also notice the problem with scroll performance, hard to say what might cause it.


It looks like Lemmy itself is not fully translated into your language yet:


Success, you are a sandwich now!


Its a difficult decision to send people to the homepage or the registration page. Homepage makes sense to explore like you say, but then someone might not find the registration button or dislike the frontpage posts and close the page. Registration page makes sense because with an account you can actually start voting, posting and following so you get the full experience. Its also what joinmastodon.org or pixelfed.org do.
I can see how that warning is a turnoff, but the registration approval is necessary to prevent spam bots. And its better to make users aware of that than having them think something is broken. In 1.0 there will be estimated approval time shown, and it will also be possible to use a plugin for automatic approval based on keywords.


How does the json for a batched vote activity look like?


No you cannot post to a multi-community, they are only for browsing/viewing.
You can subscribe to Peertube channels from Lemmy since a very long time. Recently there has been a problem with federation on the Peertube side, but that will be fixed soon.
