You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Cache size is limited and can usually only hold a limited number of most recently viewed pages. But these bots go through every single page on the website, even old ones that are never viewed by users. As they only send one request per page, caching doesnt really help.
0·4 days agoThanks for the heads up, I applied it to lemmy.ml just now.
Youre welcome! This are only some very minor changes, because the development branch has diverged a lot from 0.19, so larger backports are almost impossible now.
Yes exactly, only some minor backports.
0·7 days agoSome of these will be available in Lemmy 1.0:
- #5478: different community visibilities, including
Unlistedwhich is not included in All feed, and Private (only approved followers can view/post) - #5038: some more site settings for voting
- Plugins RFC: allows arbitrary restrictions for voting and posting
- #5478: different community visibilities, including
This is my second baby, the first one is three years old. So in my experience it’s much more fun once the child can go to the playground, starts to talk and gradually learns to do things independently. Though there are also difficulties, and of course every child is different.
Twinkle twinkle little star. It’s neat because there are versions in almost every language.
My baby celebrating her first birthday. Soon she will be able to start walking and eat normal food, so it will be much less effort to take care of her.
We have been blocking requests with empty user agent for a long time, its odd that it would stop working now.
Even if we sold out, at most they could get control over lemmy.ml and the git repository. Other instances are under no obligation to upgrade to new Lemmy versions, and could switch to a forked project if needed. The vast majority of Lemmy isnt under our control at all (which is the major difference compared to Reddit).
I also use Freshrss (version 1.24.3 via Docker). Tried a feed from lemmy.ml just now and it loads without problems.
This will be implemented in the future.
Can you check what user agent is used to fetch the rss feed? We blocked empty user agents as well as names of different bots due to AI crawlers.
There is also a button for “view source” on the website (between downvoted and reply).
Lemmy 1.0 will have automatic resizing for uploaded avatars and banners. Based on your post I also added some more config options to resize other uploads (for post images and markdown embeds). As well as options to disable video/animation uploads.

The documentation will get much better with 1.0
Are you logged in on those instances? Resolving a community name like that requires a network request, if you are not logged in it doesnt work.
This proposal could totally backfire though. There will be users paying 5 Euro per month and then demand on the issue tracker that major changes get implemented overnight. Or people who contribute with good bug reports that are unable to pay money, so problems remain unfixed. There might be a way to balance things so it works out, but that will take time. In any case its worth experimenting with different approaches to get open source betterfunded.
