Personally I'm fine with paid apps here, lots of people use tailscale for example. I think the larger issue is the drive-by spamming without contributing outside of their own promotion thread.
I like the comment elsewhere in this thread referencing a subreddit that requires X comments over Y days in the community first.
They should hang out a while first and not have only posts promoting their software, and not only have comments in those threads.
The lemmy attitude is very anti commercialization, and they don't know any better. That doesn't mean we should allow it.
It's just a convenience service. Your original url is right there in the path if it were to go down, and it's open source if you want to run your own.
There's no other way currently to do it
The point is that it redirects you to the post on your personal interest.
You can also paste that into the search of any lemmy instance to find it, if they mirrored it
Not quite open hardware, but it's minimal compute - https://www.slate.auto/
Thanks for sharing all the technical details!
Did you have ssh keys configured between your machines, or is all of blahaj on a single server? (Wondering how they got from postgres -> root -> other servers)
Sounds like they could use some more sites linking to them to improve SEO. https://clownstrike.lol/
Admins are in agreement that we don't want federation with Meta.
I don't see us currently federating with them - https://lemmy.ca/instances
We'll make sure it stays that way! I've added threads.net to our blocklist.
I personally hate all the reddit cross post stuff, and it seems like the majority of lemmy users do too. I don't understand why people obsess over this as a way to "grow" lemmy.
It doesn't contribute to active conversations, in fact it deters users who reply locally and then never get a response.
Just let lemmy grow organically by making good content and contributing, stop forcing it with mirrors from reddit.
I wonder if we could get the top admins to threaten defederation with any instance that doesn't flag automated posts as bots. This way at least the users have some visibility.
thanks for using Leebra!
