Since the release of Sync for Lemmy, some servers (like Lemmy.world for example) are down quite often, probably because of a huge influx of users. Will something be done about the big increase in down-time across Lemmy servers, and if so, how will that problem be dealt with in the near and far future?

Thank you.

A bit late on this, but when can we expect the new rewrite of Lemmy's UI? It seems like a big task.

Will the ability to send instance-agnostic post links be coming?

I would love a way to optionally post a location while choosing specificity, i.e. United Kingdom vs Newcastle etc. That way I can filter communities and posts to just those in a location I like.

I think it could lead to some really cool interactions and ways of looking for things.

Where did the Lemmy name originated from? How long was the development of Lemmy?

  • How do you feel about ads on the internet?
  • What are your thoughts on the sustainability of FOSS?
[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago
  1. Ads have made so much of the internet borderline unusable, to the point that browsing without an adblocker is not an option.
  2. It remains to be seen, but I'm hopeful. The biggest issue is compensation for open source devs labor time. I think the liberapay / patreon / recurring donation model, is the best way forward. Devs don't need much, and most of the software we use every day is worked on by a small number of people, who should be paid for their work. If they got paid as much as the average youtuber with a patreon, FOSS would be in great shape.
