  • I’m on a german instance (feddit.de) and it’s federated with db0.

    I think it’s just lemmy.world bullshit.

    Has anyone read their post about their downtime?

    “We shouldn’t close registration or limit the amount of communities because we’re not even the biggest instance in the fediverse

    Like, what?! The argument was always that they are the biggest in Lemmy! It felt like they were trying to gaslight the users.

    Same as the other arguments, like new users being weirded out if they can’t register to lemmy.world or apps using them as default. So them being down all the time doesn’t matter? Or that lemmy.ml was the biggest instance and closed down registration and new users registered to other instances without a problem?

    I’m really weirded out how hard they try to be the “main” thing on Lemmy.


  • Interesting! I tried it a bit more:

    • I had “Undetermined”, “Deutsch” and “English” selected in my profile.
    • I was able to set the comment to “Undetermined”, but then still not able to set it to “Deutsch” (back to “English”, worked though)
    • Changing the word “homie” didn’t make a difference
    • Other comments set to “Undetermined” were able to switch to “Deutsch”
    • Other comments set to “English” (that were actually written in english) were able to switch to “Deutsch”

    Seems like it’s a problem with this comment in particular, but I can’t figure out why!

    Edit: I found another comment set to “Deutsch”, written in german, that can’t be changed no matter what.

    It has of course nothing to do with the enormous amount of money they rake through their app store by squeezing both the developers and the users.

    Why would they try to force people to only use the store by implementing more and more security features along the way!?

    It’s a mystery!

    Lemmy.ml did exactly that and is one reason why lemmy.world got to be that big.

    Once the server capacity is reached the instance should be closed and people will just go to another one.

    I don’t understand why people feel so happy about lemmy.world being ahead of the rest. It’s against the point of the fediverse and has risks: the instance can be sold, can make decisions to put advertisement etc. It’s like people didn’t really understand what was wrong with reddit to begin with and how the fediverse tries to be different.
