First of all, welcome! Happy to have you onboard.

With regards to the long-term future of Leminal Space, we certainly have no intentions of going anywhere. While the instance should be considered 'hobby-run' in the sense that it is funded personally by the admins and maintained in our free time, I can see this changing in the future if we expand to a point where the server requires more upgrades to stay performant and the ongoing costs consequently increase -- at that point we would consider allowing user donations towards the server costs.

If it plays out that way and we became community-funded, that may be the right time to also reevaluate how the server is administered and maybe even consider user voting on significant decisions. However, at the time of writing, our MAU count has been fairly steady for several months at around 60. So, at this stage, at our current size and rate of growth, moving towards a community-run model isn't on the cards in the immediate future.

As ever, always happy to keep the discussion open going forward.

Just rewatched it yesterday. He really was great in that.

There are myriad reasons not to federate with Threads.

Had the same reaction to this email today!

Cool. How about leaving it there?

It's also second only to .com in terms of query volume in ICANN's Magnitude statistics with 980 mil vs .internal's 60 mil. Not sure if that makes it a de facto standard, but it's close.

Nice to see this community pop up here.

I know it's not a fan favourite, but 'Diabolus in Musica' was the last physical CD I purchased and I still love that album!

I was more getting at the headline being worded to imply the corporation is doing the 'gifting' here.

It's funny to me that the blue tick has gone from meaning 'oh good, this is at least coming from a verified source' to 'this is almost certain to be alt right bullshit'.

Ironically, Piastri got hung out to dry there.

EDIT: Update complete.

Service will be interrupted from 0:00 UTC (~1 hour from now) due to updates to both Lemmy and the database version. This is a major update and downtime could be up to to two hours (but hopefully less).

As ever, you can refer to status.leminal.space if we're down to see if it's planned and what the reason is.

I’ll comment here once the updates are complete.

The featureful Photon fork Tesseract is now available to use at tes.leminal.space. It has significantly advanced upon Photon's already excellent interface and really come into its own. As such, the list of features is extensive, so I encourage you to check out the repo for a full description if you're interested. Tesseract also works well on mobile, especially when installed as a PWA, so give that a try, too.

If all goes well, it's likely Photon will be retired in the next couple of weeks with Tesseract taking its place. (EDIT: This has now been implemented.)

We had an issue over the past 24 hours or so that stopped incoming federated comments from making it to the database (you may have noticed highly-upvoted posts with 0 comments). This has now been resolved and comments are being received again.

This issue should not have impacted outgoing comments reaching other instances.

Photon is now available as an alternative web front-end at photon.leminal.space - link also in the sidebar.

Image service degraded (leminal.space)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

The image service is currently degraded while a database migration completes. It may be hit-or-miss whether images appear, but should be 100% within an hour or so.

Service may be interrupted from 6:00 UTC (~7 hours from now) due to planned updates to both the Lemmy and image service back-ends. As this is a major update for both, with each requiring database refactoring, anticipated downtime is up to two hours (but hopefully less).

If Lemmy is still up during the above period but you notice images aren’t being served or uploads are failing, it is be due to the image service being down for the update.

I'll comment here once the updates are complete.
