Lemmy World! Party Time! Excellent!
Whoops replied to the wrong place
I find it hilarious how the most random shit always changes with updates. Like I just noticed how the badges for mod and OP changed on posts, and so I knew there's an update. Who keeps constantly fidgeting with these things?
Ed: to be clear, I'm not dissing anyone. Keep it up folks
Yeah I wonder what the reasoning behind that was. Personally I preferred the old way, where it was completedly filled in. Made it easier to notice the tag by color. It also aligned more with the rest of the Lemmy UI and it's filled-in green buttons.
Awesome, now block threads.net from this instance. Lemmy.ml already did it.
I'm just gonna leave Lemmy.world while I'm ahead. The quietness says all we need to know.
Hi! I noticed an issue with the headers sent by Lemmy.world.
Headers sent from and to this website's official UI look like this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
date: Fri, 07 Jul 2023 23:35:17 GMT
content-type: application/json
vary: accept-encoding, Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers
content-encoding: gzip
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, PUT, OPTIONS
access-control-allow-headers: DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range
access-control-expose-headers: content-encoding, content-type, vary, Content-Length,Content-Range
X-Firefox-Spdy: h2
Which is fine. However, headers received by custom clients look like this:
HTTP/2 200 OK
server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
date: Fri, 07 Jul 2023 23:33:50 GMT
content-type: application/json
vary: accept-encoding, Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers
content-encoding: gzip
access-control-allow-origin: https://natoboram.github.io
access-control-expose-headers: content-encoding, access-control-allow-origin, content-type, vary
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, PUT, OPTIONS
access-control-allow-headers: DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range
access-control-expose-headers: Content-Length,Content-Range
X-Firefox-Spdy: h2
There's two access-control-allow-origin! This still breaks web clients.
At first I thought it was a Lemmy problem, but lemmy.ml doesn't have this problem. @ruud@lemmy.world It's a lemmy.world problem indeed.
My favourite thing except the emoji is the new theme

Haha exactly! I just need to find my dot matrix printer paper with the holes and I'm all set to relive my youth
Awesome! We had BBC Micro in schools here, I think at home we had a Commodore or it might have been an Amiga! it is a bit hard to remember so far back :) I remember writing a letter to my dad on it, quoting Monty Python and calling him a bastard lol, not knowing exactly what I was saying at the time. Ah, fond memories!
Congrats!
I just donated to celebrate this!
I'm not familiar with this blocking threads controversy. Can you EIL5?
Threads big and scary. Smol bois in the Fediverse have been discussing preemptively defederating from Threads due to how big and scary it is in an attempt to protect themselves and the Fediverse as a whole.
Threads is the new Facebook-owned twitter come. It uses the activity pub protocol and is therefore part of the fediverse.
People are concerned that Facebook with embrace the fediverse, enhance it with me features (as they will be the largest developers on the platform) and then either deliberately or because no-one can keep up with their development extinguish it.
Itβs working great, but we would appreciate an update in regards to letting meta in our instance or not
Nice work @ruud. Things are feeling MUCH better now.
Yup, hence why I'm on lemm.ee. Originally made an instance to cover when .world was being slow but I think this will be my main now. They haven't finalized the vote but it seems to be going the defed route.
Still hugely supportive of the .world admins though. They've done a ton of work to keep .world running and a ton of digging that will help lemmy overall. I just don't agree with federating with big social media.
@owatnext @ruud I think he already has: https://mastodon.world/@mwadmin/110654590632768079

Definitely just us cool kids doing this right now.
yay lemmy.world emoji
Where can I learn about transferring my community to another instance? Lemmy.worlds silence about threads means he has no intent to defederate so I need to move over to lemmy.ml.
Or is this not possible? Do I just need to walk away from my community because @ruud doesnβt care about the issue?
If thatβs the case, how do I add a mod that doesnβt care about meta expressly stating they are going to add features to ActivityPub protocol (step two of EEE)? I donβt want to keep coming back here if it is federated with threads but I donβt need to leave whoever is staying here high and dry.
It really seems like having my own personal instance is the way to go. The only users Iβd need to have are mods of any community I create on it. Then I can defederate with tech co instances. damn. I was really starting to like βlocalβ here, but the fact that @ruud@lemmy.world is totally silent about threads is just absolute BS.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting your post but what's the point of having an instance if your only users are the mods you appoint? You'd just be creating your own personal echo chamber. The whole point of a site like this, at least as I see it, is to bring in a wide variety of users with different opinions. That's a big reason why Reddit was so successful in the early days. I know that everyone is anti-Threads and Meta, but clearly @ruud@ruud@lemmy.world knows something we don't. I think being federated with Threads could be a good chance to grow this community and bring more attention to the Fediverse as a whole. If you see something from a Threads instance that you really don't like, you can always block and/or mute the account. On Mastodon, you can block entire instances from showing up in your feed. I'm not sure if that is a thing with Lemmy or not, but if not, it might not be a bad thing to implement later on. Sorry for the wall of text.
Is there a quality guide for how to do this? Preferably hosted rather than my home server.
Use the ansible Lemmy install, it's very simple and will also create https certs and everything. But you need a domain first, pointed at your hosted server ip address.
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible
So basically:
That's pretty much it. The ansible install takes care of everything.
Then you need to subscribe to some other instance community from your instance so other instances know you exist, for federation to work.
Awesome, thanks.
How much power does it take to run an instance? Not planning on hosting my own, just curious. I read stories about people being able to host a Mastodon instance on a Raspberry Pi.
Perhaps point me one that you, in your judgment, think is particularly good?
It's blazing fast with liftoff app
Thanks to all those working on lemmy.world !
Awesome! Thanks for all your hard work and providing an excellent community experience.
Thanks @ruud@lemmy.world . Will this be normal cadence ? You are doing what you can because of major bug fixes but should the largest lemmy instance be the latest version ?
Awesome, robo-lemming has been upgraded!
Any plans to allow cryptocurrency donations to help fund the costs of the servers? If you post a Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin address in the sidebar under Donations, I will send some crypto now and them to help with the costs.
Have been looking into this, haven't yet found an easy way to accept donations via crypto. It needs to be transparent so people can see what's donated, without having to dig through the blockchain :-) When I find an option I'll add it.
Working great for me!
wew nice!!
