a better solution is to decouple the query from individual api requests by adding a caching layer. we’ll get there eventually

if you click https://lemmy.world/comment/2024416 what do you see? i see nothing, just a blank page

I love U 235

Lemmy has cleared some early hurdles to grow from near-zero to 60k DAUs in a month. I’ve enjoyed talking to people over the past month in a more friendly and intimate way than on that other site. The main communities are fun and viable but the niche ones are mostly empty. I run a niche hobby community and despite having a few hundred subscribers <5% have ever commented, <0.5% have posted. I think Lemmy needs to be perhaps 10x larger than it is now to be self-sustaining for niche communities.

Bite my shiny metal ass!

A lot of mobile apps don’t display community banners, and they’re how a lot of people interact with lemmy.

Canned beans are Lemmy’s favorite food

It’s not just you! sh.itjust.works is down.

It’s called a single-point of failure in Engineering.

For that instance, yes. For the whole of Lemmy, no. Everything else keeps on chugging along.

yes, you can subscribe to any community that has been federated. search communities “all” or just go to !moviesandtv@lemmy.film

Good stuff 👍 Right now you’re using “can” and “should” which are somewhat vague. What happens if bots don’t do something they should?

Consider clarifying requirements using the following RFC-style language: “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL”.

why make users set a home instance? i can see a list of communities local to lemmy.world at https://lemmy.world/communities in the [Local] tab, and i can search my home instance at https://lemmy.world/search. i figured a search engine would span instances so users could find things across the lemmy-verse?

cleared cache, your url still gives me no results. in the top right the dropdown as “Ice Orchid”. I’m not sure what that is

Cool, how do I do it? https://www.search-lemmy.com/results?query=ultralight still returns “Found 0 results in 0.01 seconds”

very cool, thanks for the feedback and the site! my question is more along the lines of whether someone interested in a topic would be able to find my community without knowing it existed in the first place?

I created !ultralight@lemmy.world – searching for “ultralight” returns zero results on your site https://search-lemmy.com/results?query=ultralight&page=1 whereas searching for it at least returns something on each lemmy instance i’ve searched

Agreed on the need to adjust mindset. Initially I behaved similarly to how I did on that other site until I realized that Lemmy is different and that’s ok. It’s a lot smaller and federation has its advantages and drawbacks and we’ll see it in action soon enough. Many seek the comfort of the familiar and are not always finding it. Start by appreciating the hard work that has allowed many of us to transition here quite easily. Take a deep breath, look around and realize that we are now playing a different game.

🫘 bean strong 💪

Close! https://lemmy.world/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
