Hey! Seems my instance can receive posts from yours; both [email protected] and [email protected] seem to show the latest posts (newest one is from 19 hours ago). Can this federate back?
edit: I made a whole comment on the issue page without realizing that 19 hours ago was also when you fixed federation... congrats on getting things to work! And maybe my coffee shouldn't be as strong...
My instance is also having issues with federation. I actually found this from an issue on GitHub about it. I had to search up this post in order to see it. Hopefully my comment federates back!
I remember managing to get this issue solved on my computer. Looks like a QT issue. I may not remember exactly how I fixed it, but try the solutions in this thread and see if it works: https://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34104
In particular run export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 and then run LMMS from the same terminal.
Also in response to other comments, LMMS is actively being worked on (though updates have been slow) -- the last commit on the master branch was from 3 days ago, so that suggests that the project isn't abandoned but development's just rolling slowly.
Yeah... Just wow. I disabled pictrs and deleted all its images, which also means all my community images/uploaded images are gone, and it's more of a hassle to see other people's images, but in the end I think it's worth it.
Through caching every image pictrs was also taking up a massive amount of space on my Pi, which I also use for Nextcloud. So that's another plus!
A bit of reverse image searching reveals this was the original XKCD comic (more specifically, the top middle panel): https://xkcd.com/1269/
Don't forget people on single user instances too! It feels pretty good watching drama and not having to worry about how this affects me.
They don't! The first site I linked doesn't have a time limit, and for the second one, you can choose whether or not to give files one.
I know, yeah! Talking a bit with you folks here really motivated me to actually start posting some content here, and honestly, on Lemmy in general! Apologies if this was a silly question because looking on it in retrospect yeah it's a bit weird to start making another community when there's so little content in Lemmy that there doesn't need to be that kind of distinction (and that kind of fragmentation might actually end up harming more than helping).
But about my first point, who knows though... you might see some pictures of dergs turn up somewhere here. Maybe...!
pict-rs, the software Lemmy uses to upload media by default, is a bit wack right now so people usually get around this (and some other issues) by uploading to sites like files.catbox.moe or postimages.org (the former of which can upload any media while the latter can only do images/gifs). I recommend checking that out - it can come in handy sometimes!
I got this email from Cloudflare... apparently ~11 GB of data was sent in the past month alone! I was a bit worried, but then I realized that's from all the federation Potatoe Lemmy is doing with other servers.
Also yeah, most requests are from Finland! I guess that means sopuli.xyz has the most Lemmy users?
It'd be a interesting challenge for Lemmy devs to see how requests, and thus server bandwidth and operating costs, could be minimized in the future. This could lower the bar for new servers (such as mine) to enter the Fediverse.
