Yeah I agree on that. I've already seen two text posts in !pcm@lemmy.basedcount.com that didn't really have anything to do with PCM but of course the people there didn't have another place to post them in.

How do you think such a #general community could look like? Something like !main@sh.itjust.works ? A strictly helpful !support@beehaw.org? Or pure chaos like !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world ?

Thanks for the idea, however I'm not sure of how I feel about that. If any of those topics particularly interests you, then sure, we can open some of them. But I wouldn't rush opening a community for every topic on Earth, just for them to remain empty and forgotten. After all, there's plenty of general purpose instances we are federated with, out there.

And more importantly, the reason why I said "you most mod it yourself or know someone that would" is because I don't want to spend my days as a janny (and of course we can't have modless communities either), so that's still a pretty important point to cover imo.

Aww you called us "cutting edge". I really like this idea. Discussing it with the other admins right now, will let you know.

As I said I didn't know much about lemm.ee but that policy is tremendously based.

Probably government agents in disguise

likely applies to all groups on this compass.

Blame it on @Atalocke@lemmy.basedcount.com lol. We've split the load 50/50, as soon as he's done I can start workign on my part.

Thanks for sharing! I see it takes a few ms to load the thumbnail but it's a worthy tradeoff if it saves that much in storage. I'll save this post and come back to your PR once it gets merged in, too lazy to apply it myself. :)

Holy shit, alright, I think I might be interested in this. I also have a growing storage problem that would need to solve. How does a patched instance look? Do you still see thumbnails? Can you share a screenshot?

What's the use case for this? Reducing storage usage?

My apologies, ancient one lol

I’d say considering they let me in knowing who I liked

This reminds me, I really should start working on adding flairs to this instance, it's hard to remember what side people are on without the funni colours next to their names.

Not sure if it's the first but it's definitely a first for me. In retrospect I could have written it way better, the logic was a bit rushed, but it should be fixed now.

I love the amount of support I've been getting from this and other threads, thank you for using my site.

If we're talking efficiency, the fediverse isn't particularly well optimized either. It's just a trade off for decentralization.
