Attached: 2 images 👿 PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent. #redditblackout #redditmigration #kbin #lemmy

/r/piracy is already indefinite blackout. Many others as well, but frustratingly too many others took the scab route and reopened.

Also the astroturfing in the reddit comments in ridiculous

This is being worked on. If your account registation gets stuck, assume you need to change your username

This instance is growing very fast. I realize I will not be able to administrate it effectively along with my other roles and projects. I am looking for 1-2 people who want admin positions. Ultimately I would like to have 1 admin per 2K users.

Since this is a very sensitive role, I want people who share the same values. So people against all forms of bigotry with enthusiasm about open culture. I.e. you should be enthusiastically be aligned with the rules on the sidebar.

Please post your applications here. Please post reddit, lemmy or mastodon accounts which I can use to verify your history. I may contact your on those social media to ensure it's you.

Altready most major subs are re-opening, and bootlickers are gloating that this didn't achieve anything.

There's still an attempt to keep things going but it's a milquetoast "let's shut down on wednesday, ya'll".

There was never a strong consensus to redirect people to alternatives like lemmy, so people used other parts of reddit until their favourite subs reopened. And when people redirected, most of them just directed to fuckin' discord, which doesn't serve the same purpose at all and is even worse from the lock-in perspective.

I just finished upgrading my this lemmy instance's frontend & API VM, effectively doubling it's processing power. Thing should again start to feel snappy around here.

For those interested the current setup is:

• 1xVPS @ 8 cores, 30G Ram and 1Tb storage for Loadbalancer, Lemmy and Lemmy UI
• 1xDedicated Server @ 16cores and 128GR RAM for the postgresql Database (shared with some other projects)

If this starts getting overloaded (which I honestly don't expect for a bit more at least) next step is a dedicated box for the frontend/API

I'm seeing the server struggle a bit, even though the CPUs are nowhere near maxed, so I'm ordering an upgrade to double its power and quadruple its storage.

Unfortunately I don't control the VPS downtime, so this might happen more or less randomly.

EDIT/UPDATE: Recent versions of lemmy make this even easier by allowing turning the !instance format into a relative link to your instance. For example !div0@lemmy.dbzer0.com. However when you do this, don't use the auto-fill option which turns it into a markdown link, as that will break this functionality.

When you link to another community on lemmy with a absolute link like so Div/0 this links to that community directly from that instance's domain. This means users who follow that link from other instances, will not be able to comment or subscribe. They will have to go back and edit their URL manually to workaround this.

If you instead link to a community using a relative link like so Div/0 it will lead them to the community using their own instance as a mediator, allowing them to interact with it naturally.

The source for the above relative link is like this [Div/0](/c/div0@lemmy.dbzer0.com). So basically just add only the /c/... part and ensure your instance's domain is at the end

Lemmy definitely looks very interesting! I hope it grows since I've become more and more sick of Reddit over time.

Looking forward to everything div/0 offers too!

I am creating this list to track which subreddits have created a presence outside of reddit during the blackout

Any community marked with (U) is unofficial which means not ratified by the mods of that subreddit.

I plan to continue adding to this list, so please leave comments with any others you are aware of.

• /r/piracy -> !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• /r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEA -> https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/freemediaheckyeah
• /r/StableDiffusion -> !stable_diffusion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• (U) /r/Buttcoin -> !buttcoin@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• (U) /r/ADHDmemes -> !ADHD@lemmy.dbzer0.com

In the future I hope to add code to automate this. If anyone knows Rust, ping me.

Reddit is circling the toilet and I am fully expecting they will keep taking one bad decision after the other. I've been there since the big Digg migration and I don't think things are salvageable anymore.

They already killed-off multiple of their most major 3rd party apps who have sworn off from ever returning. This is big.

This is a lemmy instance. It is meant to be focused on the projects I created, the communities I run and the interests I have.

Something outside of corporate control, run on FOSS and indexable.

Say hello
