Who cares if it already exists, just make it.
Also consider the possibility when the other, more popular projects got enshittified. Now the fleeing users have an option to switch to your project. It actually happened on one of my side project. I made it because I want to try building my own version of X. It got ~2000 users, but later down the road, X got sold to a new shitty owner that waste no time to enshittify it, and my side project suddenly grow to 20,000 users overnight.
Looks like they won't publish a timelapse video after it's all over like last year.
They did blur the screenshots though, but yeah, pretty much flexing that they can browse anything without restriction in their office, lmao.
It's Indonesia btw. That reminds me, I do have a concern about Lemmy instances that use .id TLD (e.g. lemdro.id). It's Indonesian TLD, so it might subject to Indonesian law, so they'll might run into trouble if they federate with porns communities. Might be a similar situation where websites with .ly TLD got into trouble with Libyan government back then.
That's not true. Phone manufacturers need to pay if they want to include Google Play in their devices, it's not free. It can cost as much as $40 per device.
Microsoft is probably considering to release an enterprise Linux product right now. Perhaps called Windows Subsystem for Enterprise Linux.
Are you telling me I wasted my time manually tallying up my karma with calculator to track my karma-whoring activity?
What do you mean you don't want to play a game that let you buy your own plot of land using blockchain? You'll get to experience almost real property ownership here.
Life is even more tough for Lemmy devs, putting out fire left and right in the past few weeks. My concern is are they still able to earn a living when the majority of their time is spent fixing bugs in Lemmy?
It's simple, really.
Note that I haven't actually tested this with actual Reddit app.
Edit: oops, replied to a wrong thread
Meanwhile redditors on /r/piracy kicked their own mod for continuing the protest. I think their Lemmy migration to lemmy.dbzer0.com is a bit too effective and now only loyal redditors left at that sub.
As long as the backend is stateless, it can be scaled to handle huge amount of users, at least in theory. IMO the main issue right now with Lemmy deployment is pictrs not being stateless. It uses a filesystem-based internal database called sled. Not only this make pictrs not stateless, you can't even run multiple replica of pictrs in the same host because sled would crash if the database file lock is already acquired by another replica. Someone with some rust skill should consider donating their time to add postgresql support to pictrs soon, which will greatly help making Lemmy scalable. Too bad I know nothing about rust.
It's not 3rd party app developers fault that kbin didn't have any stable api yet. Now that they fast track the api development, I think we can expect more 3rd party apps coming soon.
