Hey peeps, let's have a chat.

Do you have anything that you would like to see improved around the divisions by zero? I'm always up for enhancements I could implement. I can't change the lemmy source, but I can do plugins and other hacks.

You can mention anything, from tech stuff, to softer social stuff.

Hm, I am a bit concerned because it's meant for small servers. I am concerned on the ethical question of going in "seed-only" mode as a big server

Sorry to bother you, I know it's been a while but have we considered possibly enabling this? I asked lemmy-federate's creator about it and he said small servers was only an example so I'm not really sure anymore that there are ethical challenges with it. But it is your decision, I don't want to pressure you. I just think it would be good for people here since it is very hard to start communities on the Fediverse due to them not appearing on other servers until someone searches for and subscribes to them. The reason why this tool was created.

I think @[email protected] and other people here trying to start communities would agree.

Good to see things are moving

I mean just because it says under 100 users doesn't mean it has to be for that, you can do it if your server is larger and would prefer to save space by not taking on communities people aren't interested in. After all it's way easier to pull-in communities without the tool than it is to push them out, though I do see how there could be concern if many other instances started doing that. Might be worth it to bring up those points in the discussion thread over there.
