How did Lemmy start off? Did you know each other before and start it together or did somebody join up after a little bit of time ?

Hello devs of Lemmy! I was wondering if you're going to improve the privacy of Lemmy as a whole, and make sure that it don't violate the GDPR. For instance what happens when a user deletes their account? The GDPR gives the right to the users to be forgotten (don't mistake this with the right to erase everything, a forum is allowed to have the data that the user has written as long as it's not sensitive, including name etc). I've seen posts where users are reporting that their account is not deleted when pressing the delete account button in the settings page. There is very little information about this.
The point being that the user name should be erased when someone deletes their account.
Would be great to have answers about this. And if you can also anwser some general about what you're going to improve privacy going forward.
Thanks!
Awesome, looking forward to it
I have a suggestion about lemmy. Could there be a way where Lemmy can check for community names across instances to help reduce multiple communities of the same name? For example, say someone wants to create a Linux community on their instance and during the creation Lemmy searches an index of community names and finds one already named that name, it would then recommend the existing community which already exists be used or a new community name be made.
My theory is to help reduce the multiple communities of the same name posting the same article numerous times on the all feed.
I point out, if you don't know, that YunoHost v.11.0.10 does not install the Lemmy application on the Raspberry Pi 4 because Pi 4 is an Arm64 architecture and not Amd64.
What's for dinner today?
Awesome!
cool bananas.
Have you found any limitations or pain points related to the ActivityPub protocol? Are their improvements you would like to see to the spec?
EDIT: On a related note, do you have any thoughts on the AT Protocol?
