Thank you for the update and it's good to hear your upcoming plans. Being one of those people in Australia (Reddthat) it will be good to see if it actually works as it's designed too!
I'd love to save $7/m to not have a server dedicated to batching the federation traffic ๐Ÿ˜…

When you lay out the timelines for 0.19.3 onwards no time at all has gone by, and having to deal with the issues after .3 has certainly not been fun as an admin. (And I'm only a small server compared!)
Being such a huge player in our Lemmyverse, thanks for taking the time to plan this out as I know how much testing has been done to get us this far.

It's always a nice experience chatting to the LW team!
Hope your updates go smoothly!

Oh wow... I miss interpreted your intention. I thought you meant promote as in, using that post as a way to promoting someone to join, not that you wanted to be promoted into the position!

Sorry for the mix-up and glad to have you on board. It's been actioned!

Yeah saying I endorse the request to find moderator.

Keep in kind that all reports on Lemmy get sent to the admins of the reported user, and wherever the community is hosted. So even if you report a post or comment in woman's hockey, it will always be seen by Reddthat admins (& the moderator). So I and the other Reddthat admins already see every report (for our instance).

Also anyone on Lemmy can be a moderator of it, it doesn't just have to be the people on Reddthat, so you might want to post to the actual community asking if anyone wants to be a moderator.

I'll pin it to the community and hopefully you get some traction, or you yourself can be the mod for the interim and then you can pin it yourself :)

Games do not fall under this law, as they are already have laws around age restrictions. So if you can buy Minecraft they you are allowed to play Minecraft..

Verification only needs to be reasonable. For us a system something what you have suggested would be reasonable for us. And/Or use a content warning popup like other NSFW sites. By continuing you are agreeing that you are 16 years or older etc...

I think by doing that and modifying the signup process it will be reasonable enough. Considering these laws are clearly not targeted at us and any watchdog will be targeting the "major" social medias like that TokTok site and the FaceSpace.

I was initially super sceptical about it but I think there is a way to navigate it while not compromising our ideals. (Which I kinda need to write in a more concrete fashion!)

To be fair on the EFF it has been less than a week and the requirements are still very much in the air. The minimum user count is drumroll 2. I forgot to include this lovely picture for the exact wording.

[โ€“] ticoombs@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks. I might wait until .8 then.

[โ€“] ticoombs@reddthat.com 2 points 6 months ago

I too would love to know what your experiencing (so I can fix it!)

Having a list of all alternatives in the sidebar of alternative places to find people is my recommendation. Thus if people wish to keep a backup community on Reddthat I'm sure to let them.

 

Our proxy in Amsterdam has a reddthat.com SSL certificate.

It didn't renew correctly.

We are investigating

 

What a good browser...

Highly relevant to us (as admins)

 

Not so much a sploit but an easy way to do broadcasting!

 

We had a brief outage today due to the server running out of space.

I have been tracking our usage but associated it with extra logging and the extra build caches/etc that we've being doing.

Turns out the problem was the frontend Next-UI which has been caching every image since the container was created! All 75GB of cached data!

Once diagnosed it was a simple solution to fix. I'm yet to notify the project of this error/oversight and I'll edit this once Issues/PRs are created.
I also haven't looked at turning the caching off yet as my priority was recovering the main Reddthat service.

Thanks all for being here!

Recently I've taken the docker compose example from SChernykh and have started a p2pool for Reddthat!

https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/tree/master/docker-compose (many thanks here!). After some minor changes I removed the IP listing from statistics and increase the visibility to 100 "supporters". It's viewable at donate.reddthat.com. (if @admin@monero.town wants the code change I can provide diff)

The idea was to also allow people to donate to instances via CPU instead of actual $.

My question for the community is whether I am creating a centralised pool or am I still participating in a decentralized fashion?
