IMO Lemmy/PieFed is safer to run because the community mods will delete anything illegal, which will delete it for you, too. About 5 instances host 95% of communities worth joining so it’s easy for us to coordinate defense.

Mastodon is thousands of instances and more wild west. Bad stuff can come from anywhere.

The home page of aljazeera has 11 placeholder images now, lol

Yes if it’s that old then if it was possible to fix it’s problems then surely they would have by now…

Please test PieFed.

Lucky for you, python is quite readable and the person who wrote it is available to answer any questions you might have.

On PieFed, that character is automatically converted to ‘th’.

Thanks!

FYI PieFed has a reminder function, in the 3 dot menu on a post / comment.

Installed qbittorrent and downloaded a few seasons of Linux isos onto a vps. Discovered accessing those files over SSH to be too slow to play them without buffering so installed filebrowser to get them via http which worked well.

It’s been a long long time since I used bittorrent and wow it works so much better these days.

I had a browse of the code recently. It’s really well put together, I think they have a great foundation it just needs to be optimized. I’m hopeful about friendica.

For people using Lemmy, it’s not different.

For us, it’s way better. https://join.piefed.social/features

Yeah, don’t do that.

You can follow PieFed users on Mastodon though - put the url of their profile into the search on Mastodon then click follow.

Ask your admins about that - PieFed has that feature but only admins can do it and it’s instance-wide.

That could happen in the future but at the moment and in the past surely we lost more mods as a result of their community being dead than from their community being too active. But we don’t hear from them because they feel rejected and like they failed so they slink away quietly.

99% of communities need more content, not less.

Thanks, I was thinking that’d be a good use of it!

Yes but it’s empty. I made it just so someone else couldn’t.

Cloudflare caching can solve this. Cache based on the user agent.
