Lemmy

is there a way to see new users stats somewhere ?

@ devs:

Can you please focus your work on optimising performance for the UI? It will greatly reduce the amount of electricity and money spent, so you're actually multiplying every tenth of a second you can shave off of CPU time...

Thank you a lot for writing this software. It's been a great little project so far and it seems to go down the Mastodon route of increased popularity. Be proud!

I'm a noob. I created an account on beehaw and on lemmy.ml. That's because I see communities on one instance that I'm interested in and a different community on another instance. So if there's a technology community on both, how do I get to see all the technology posts without having to have two accounts?

This is really confusing for noobs like me. I'd just like to see one community to technology, one for Science, one for nintendo etc. I don't care it it's spread out amongst different servers to divvy up the load, but from the user side, it needs to be seamlessly integrated.

I'm still learning how all this works though. But I don't know how many folks that are more casual than me will be willing to figure it out. I hope they do though! It'll be worth it to leave reddit in the rearview mirror!

Edit: lawdy, I just figured it out. Local vs all on the communities list. It was right in front of my face. good grief!

I believe the only way to get Lemmy working with every "refugees" is indeed to run organised instances. I'm thinking of a Circlejerk instance (yeah sorry, first example I had in mind) with all the jerk communities such as r/Watchescirclejerk, r/Carcirclejerk, etc... Could work for countries, car, music communities... I might be wrong though as I'm quite new to all of this.

Is this why I can't create a new community? I've tried 3 times and it just keeps spinning when I hit submit.

I run a general purpose, (currently) single-user instance as of yesterday. It will be funded through end of 2023 and then I'll probably beg for donations if I host other users. https://links.dartboard.social

This is hosted on Digital Ocean and I can scale up CPU/RAM/Storage/Bandwidth as needed. (I already did once)

well, what can be done to help with upgrades to this server? what does that entail?

Hi,

I setup my account on lemmy.ca. But it seems I cannot sign into lemmy.ml with this account (just getting busy spinning circle. On a high level I want to subscribe to some of the communities on lemmy.ml.

Thanks

this site is currently 😗 struggling to handle 🧱 the amount 🈷️🈷️🈷️ of new 💎👑 users. 🏻 I 😱 have 🈶 already 😞 upgraded the server, 🦋😘 but ✋🏽 it will 👀 go 😩 down 👤 regardless 😜😘 if half 🎵 of Reddit 💰 tries to join. 👌 However 🤔 Lemmy is federated software, 👨‍💻 meaning 😏 you 👉 can 🎥 interact seamlessly with communities on 👄 other 💰 instances like 👍👌 beehaw.org or lemmy.one. The documentation explains 📢 in 🏡👸 more ✋🍗 detail 🇩🇪🐊🐉 how 🤐 this works. ♿ Use 😏 the instance 👉🙄 list 🥵 to find 🔍 one 1️⃣ where ⬇️ you 👈 can 💦 register. Then 🥵 use 😐🤔😴 the Community 👩👩 Browser to find 🔎 interesting 🤔 communities. Paste 🍒🥖💦💦🥛 the community 👩 url into 😫😩🍑 the search 🔍 field 🏑 to follow 👣 it. You 🙇 can 🥫 help ⬛💠🔷◾🔴🚩🇦🇿🇦🇬 other 👪 Reddit 👽 refugees by 😈 inviting 😎 them 😘 to the same 🏆🤷 Lemmy instance 🤔 where 🤷 you 👈🏼 joined. 🈴 This way 👟 we 🔪 can 👺 spread 👐 the load 😼 across ➡️ many 👬 different 🚿🛀🧖🏼‍♀️🙆🏼‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️💅 servers. And users 😏😼 with similar 💯 interests will 💍⚽ end 🔚🔵👯‍♂️ up ⬆️ together 👫👬 on 🎂 the same 🙂👍👍👍👍 instances. Others 🏼 on 👥⬅️💡 the same 😯 instance 👉 can 🔫 also 👨 automatically 🤖 see 👀 posts 📱💻 from 💋 all 🧏‍♂️🧏‍♂️🧏‍♂️🧏‍♂️ the communities that 👏 you 👆 follow. 👣 Edit: 📑 If you 👉 moderate a large ⬛ subreddit, 💻 do 🍆👺 not 🚫 link 🌐🔗 your 👉 users 📤🏻 directly to lemmy.ml in 🥕 your 👉 announcements. That 😟🔇 way ❌ the server 🧁🌟 will 🌽🌽 only ☝️ go 😓 down 👎🍺🍺🤮 sooner. 🕛 (joke)
