Disroot Community

As you probably noticed if you tried to use our Lemmy instance, we have had some issues with stability. It was mainly due to underwhelming database configuration and very modest amount of resounces given to the database server. We did some tweaks and things should be working a bit better now.

Additionally we have slap new frontend while toying with lemmy today. It's called photon and looks awesome. Definitely a keeper but we need to use it a bit more to see if things work proper. That said, if you love the old looks we will provide old UI under different URL. Let us know what url (lemmy.disroot.org? lemmyui.disroot.org? something else?

When Disroot began to take shape back in 2015, the world seemed to be heading in a different direction. People were talking about climate agreements, building alternatives... and riding that same wave — almost as a necessary reaction — Disroot was born: our modest but determined attempt to offer digital tools that do not sell our privacy, freedom and choice to the highest bidder. Now 10 years in and looks like the world has gone on the downward spiral. Privacy seems to be a term of the past. Sponsored content, digital exhibitionism and glorification of fame is the new standard. Short content format has taken over the world. AI slop is slowly taking over the internet. While all this is happening, there is still hope. There are still ton of people working endlessly to create another horizon of possibilities, coding, testing and hosting alternatives that tries to distant itself from the corporate internet most of the world uses on daily basis. We are happy to be a part of that movement and would like to celebrate with all of you briefly reviewing some of the most important milestones on this journey that began ten years ago.

Hi there, In the times of short attention span content, flashy and heavy websites, I was wondering if people would be interested in some of the lightweight, text based web services here on disroot. Something like gemini/html capsule/blog posting or writefreely so it's also federated, a bbs, tilde or other service.

What are your thoughts on this?

We were thinking about it some time ago, and now that a user came up with a proposal as well we thought why not. The idea is to add possibility to use username@disr.it along side your username@disroot.org JID for XMPP (just like email). We could implement it in two ways:

1. as alias - Using same roster but possibility to connect/be contacted with two additional addresses
2. as new account - Seperate account meaning clean roster, avatar etc. just using same credentials to login

Which one would you prefer?

(for reference original user's suggestion - https://git.disroot.org/Disroot/Disroot-Project/issues/1212 )

You're not following anyone yet

FEDIsroot gets more interesting once you follow other users.

Or you can visit the FEDIsroot tab to get started and meet other users.

I am following users and they did post within the last 24h, so I imagine something is up with the instance

For example

https://scribe.disroot.org/post/3515715

https://scribe.disroot.org/post/3515714

I don't know if this on the server's end or on my end. It's happened a few times, I am not doing anything while the post is being submitted, just waiting until it loads and sometimes two posts are posted instead of one. Thanks.

In recent days I have noticed that there seem to be federation problems between akkoma and lemmy instances of disroot.

When I try to search for a lemmy post (e.g. https://scribe.disroot.org/post/3463101) on akkoma, it doesn't find it. Also, when I try to follow a lemmy user, it remains as pending approval.

Howdy folks!

I have been busily cloning communities from instances that maybe aren't my favorite, but which often have posts that I think I'd like to participate in a discussion, if it weren't on those instances.

This has rubbed the admins a little wrong: they expressed a concern about deceiving people about which instance/community people are actually posting and commenting to. They asked me to change the branding.

To that end i've been trying to workshop a consistent theme i'd apply to all the cloned communities. Initially, I tried just stamping the disroot "D" logo onto the assets, but that didn't get great feedback on xmpp. I'm now considering a theme comparable to the themes used by db0 and beehaw, but using disroot coloring and maybe they graffiti font for the banner.

As the creative process has been mostly progressing between two people (me and muppeth), muppeth suggested I bring this proposal to the community, and that's just what this post is.

I'd love to get feedback on whether this is something you all think is worthwhile, and if so, I'd be happy to share whatever assets i create for templating etc. If you think there is another direction i should go, I'd love to hear that, and of course, if you think the whole venture is superfluous, I can continue my one-man show.

we need an admin to sign up for it though

because i think we should be. they're huge and pretty rad.

edit:

ok. we ARE federated, but not fully, i guess. so if someone would subscribe to all their communities, we'd see everything on their server.

i guess we just need more folx to start using this instance to push the federation deeper. of course, that's gonna mean higher server costs....

URL: https://search.disroot.org/search?q=%25s The last days I had any problems to do that and today is giving me an error. Any idea about?

Comments, posts and votes have recently not been federating outwards very well. Sometimes it goes through, but it often sits in limbo forever.
Currently having issues commenting on feddit.dk posts as well as not seeing votes update on existing comments.
Previously had issues posting on lemmy.world communities.

It is time to move to the next phase of Lacre testing. Our end-to-end solution to incoming E-mail encryption is ready to be tested on a broader scale. For the past weeks we have been running Lacre on the Disroot email server to check some nasty bugs and edge cases before more people start using it. With just a handful of uploaded keys from brave early birds we managed to find some little annoying issues and to take care of those.

Happy solstice everyone!

We wish you a warm, bright, and happy solstice. Whether it is the longest or the shortest night of the year for you, we hope you make the best out of it and enjoy this astronomical event and celebration of seasonal change.
