Thanks, the one I’m currently using is not updated to 0.18.3 yet

If my fingers prune I’m going to die or something

? This post is a month old now

It seems to work, but it keeps throwing pictrs related errors, so it’s not really built for it

It barely works on my old version of lemmy, probably fixed now then. It would be nice if there was a was to turn that off and only use pictrs only for locally uploaded images. Since I’m the only person here caching isn’t too important.
I wonder if I could shut pictrs down and only use an external image hosting for images?

Lemmy sometimes caches remote content in pict-rs. It’s a bit broken so you usually don’t see it, but it does do it occasional

Related, What about a personal instance only I use? I can choose what communities I want but I can’t control what is posted on those communities. Someone could post something illegal to a beehaw community (and have) and the mods remove it, but does the deletion of images and posts federate? In know matrix keeps copies of every deleted file in a room on all homeservers, what about lemmy?

I just grep’d the nginx access log for the lemmy.world IP address and looked at the access times. you can see if it’s timing out is the response code is 400. sadly ~57% of the requests are currently timing out today. it seems to work for a bit then time out for about 10 minutes, at least there is some coming through now, before the requests had stopped completely.

lemmy.ml is also back in my logs. yay
lemmy.ml is almost perfect on the timeouts, so they must have managed to fix it.

It’s only been a few minutes but I’m seeing non timing out federation in my nginx access log. Hopefully it keeps working.
Also at least on my instance, lemmy.ml has completely broken, I’m not getting anything from it at all anymore. it dropped out at 13:52:22 and besides a couple few messages it’s been silence since then. It seems to be working on lemmy.world so I’m not sure what’s causing that.

Why does The Register get paid? /s

I came because of Reddit shutting down 3rd party apps, but I knew about lemmy before. I like self hosting and have self hosted a matrix server for probably a year now, and when twitter blew up I heard about mastodon and searched for a Reddit version. However, I am lazy as shit so I didn’t bother to set up an instance until a couple days after the reddit news. Honestly it was probably for the best, I probably would have been put of by the tankie stuff. I do feel lucky to have been here before 100 instances though, It was so barren before the influx of Redditors, rarely would a post hit 100 upvotes. It’s incredible how much it has changed in the last few days.

Brilliant, I can see so much more of the main page. one less than old.reddit.com but that doesn’t really matter. Thank you so much!
I know there isn’t anything you can do but one of the things I’ll miss about reddit is the custom CSS. I hope some form of custom CSS gets added to lemmy. I’ll miss the “unique” design of r/mildlyinfuriating or the complete insanity of r/ooer (I tried to link WayBackMachine but it seems to be down)

Good shit, That fixes most of the UI complaints from me. One other think I can think of is making the post a bit smaller to fit more on the screen. Much better than default though.

The file you downloaded is a compressed JSON file, it’s not something you can really just look at. But it contains all the data needed to build a nice UI around.
I don’t know what OS you are on but on linux you can run zstd -d -c file.zst | jq . and it will print everything in the file. It’s not really readable though. Also it doesn’t have any of the media content, only the text

I hate reddit. But it feels like the library of Alexandria burning down (yea I know). All those google search results and educational subreddits that are shutting down forever, and because they are too small reddit won’t force open them again.
A lot are in the pushshift archive, but that cuts of at 2022. Also, it doesn’t include a lot of the smaller subreddits.
I have had my PC running 24/7 with multiple VPNs to avoid rate limits downloading as much as I can before the API dies, but with some blackouts moving forward a day I have already missed a few.
Like many others, I would often add “reddit” to the end of my searches to get better results, half the websites on web searches now are either AI generated, copies or are completely AD ridden websites that ask you to turn off your AD blocker.
