Wait really? Is there a recommended extension for this?

Big spike in comments/posts this AM :/

Thanks for the in depth write up! I haven’t looked too far into the docs or the subscription model, but is this a fault on Lemmy’s end, or is this a function of how activity pub handles federated communication? (I’m very new to activity pub/federation, just now reading through the activity pub docs)

I do like your idea of distributed replication via keys,much better than what I had brainstormed

Edit: yeah it does look like it’s a function of activity pub, wonder if theres a more scalable federation protocol out there

it could have been done much better.

Care to expand on this point?

I’m presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit’s,

Eg:

/post/{title}-{title_id}

/post/{title}-{title_id}/comments

Etc.

I have all the code changes locally but waiting for a new PSU fot my home server to come in tomorrow for my dev server as i dont feel like setting up postgres etc on my laptop

Nice! Ill give this a shot, as I have something like 5 unis near me

NOTE: Taken from reddit.

As explained in an earlier post, deleting your user footprint on Reddit completely requires overwriting all your posts and comments with a boilerplate or randomized message, then deleting them all, and finally deleting the account itself.

I have found two tools that do this well, one using the Reddit API, and one not. The one using the Reddit API has more features and fewer bugs, but it may stop working beyond July 1, 2023. Both tools require a Windows, macOS, Linux, etc. computer.

My advice is to wait as close to July 1, 2023 as you can, if not beyond it, in case Reddit changes course at the last second. You may also want to request all your data from Reddit before deleting anything. Or use Reddit Manager to backup selectively.
