i'm curious about alternate front-end / API clients....
The real war is hate media memes and messages that trickle down to those obedient to voices from the clouds, electric voices these days. In the old days, books that said burning bushes gave out signals.
Is this a case of the servers just needing to sync with each other?
Thee is no sync code for remote user profiles and communities. The local server counts what it has, which is often an incomplete copy - and especially the users/subscriber numbers are not fully represented. Communities also do not automatically get discovered by a new server, a logged-in user must initiate a a search for a remote community for it to be known - and further at least 1 account has to subscribe for content to flow.
You’re thinking about it the wrong way.
I've had to go through a major change in thinking and adjust my interpretation in major ways.
This year has been dramatic. I've seen a big increase of users with quality content doing deletes in protest of Reddit. And the shift to sites like Lemmy that are not as favored by search engines.
Reddit should have gone the other direction, become a non-profit, eliminate advertising, go back to open sourcing the code like they used to, and run on donations. Cut their staff of people that had anything to do with advertising and trying to market the platform.
But each additional row in site_aggregates table was causing the instability itself. The SQL code had major flaws. Adding more servers actually made Lemmy crash more.
Lemmy is written in Rust, I don't think any other ActivePub platform uses Rust.
only on Kbin? Everything from there seems 1 or 2 hours ahead
They still have fake content on the front page. In a bogus community.
lemmy-ui is still pretty bad about presenting spinning graphics when encountering an error. As for why the title isn't rejected, maybe it's too short, I don't know the length minimum.
