not quite. While it's true that rust has a reputation for taking longer to write and release in, green field development is a lot easier to work in than stuff that already has a lot of moving parts and places that you need to consider the affects of changing one thing to somewhere else.

correct, they're pretty interoperable and federate with each other.

 

I'm considering launching a server for some fediverse applications for a niche group. Since the Lemm.ee announcement, I got back in to PieFed, partially because my company blocks xxx.zip (lemmy.zip, etc). I would want to make these fediverse services easily available and reachable to newcomers.

I'm thinking of sticking with Lemmy and maybe the photon UI instead of the default, or have the default hosted at another address. I like the features of PieFed, but I think that the lack of apps could be a barrier to entry.

I'd like to hear others' thoughts as well. Lemmy seems to be more ubiquitous and has better app support, so I think that would be better so serve. I don't think that hosting both would be a good idea, as it'd create fragmentation in an already niche area.

I thought this was not a real movie! 😂
...or something else

That's a cool way to do chats though, I never thought about live updates on the tag.

trying to get sucked into the lemm.ee "after shutdown" anime?

There are a few towns that became their own internet providers b/c the big guys wouldn't bring them either any or adequate service and they realized they could do it themselves more cheaply. They had to fight anti-socialism propaganda and of course lobbying and disinformation campaigns from the big providers, despite the fact that they had no intention of ever going there.

I just looked in to it b/c my browser isn't showing it either. It turns out the alt text is just for when the image doesn't load or screen readers. The title text is supposed to be for tooltips, or what you'd get if you hover over the image.

there is one issue that I've found - my work blocks lemmy.zip, so I'm using the piefed account I made to test it.

My guess is that it ends in ".zip" and is getting blocked, b/c the rest of lemmy they aren't bothering with.

I actually described how dutch sounded to me to some dutch friends. I said something like, "Dutch sounds like if a German got drunk, tried learning English, and then started choking."

They told me that wasn't far off 😂

 

I've been considering launching a Lemmy server for a community lately, but am now back exploring piefed with the Lemm.ee shutdown.

I've read that Lemmy for some has been quite resource intensive and piefed was much easier on CPU and RAM. Is anyone able to share some metrics, say, for this server for reference?

It looks like documentation is better for piefed and the mod tools are better. I like the topics organization.

Downside is that the interstellar app didn't seem to have that feature built in.

Also, my phone really does not like the word piefed lol.

But I'm starting to consider whether to trim a piefed instance instead of Lemmy. Is there anything I should know ahead of time? Such as unexpected gotchas or federation issues with Lemmy?

 

forgive my ignorance, in trying the different views and want images to be viable viewable without me having to click on them. is there a way to get them to fit by width and height?
