This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they'd like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.

Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.

A bit technical question: how do you manage to build performant comment trees on frontend?

What's your oppinion on lemmy being used by a few hundreds of people for quite some time and then recently exploding overnight with new instances and tens of thousands of new users. That certeinly changed some things...

It was definitely a difficult struggle. I've elaborated below on how wrecked I was for ~ 2 months.

Why is selfhosted Docker such a mess?

And following up: since Lemmy-easy-deploy is so… well… easy, can’t you make that official as well?

Have an advance option where one could configure everything and one where all is done and automatically works for the somewhat less technical admins?

Where do you see Lemmy 5 years from now?

[-] Limeey@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I recently submitted a PR for stopping pictrs image federation. IMO the images themselves do not need to be downloaded when served by another pictrs instance. This would reduce the amount of diskspace and reduce the burden of hosting images that are unwanted by the instance owners.

What are your thoughts on this, and do you think this will be merged? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3799
