It's almost always the first one for me.

[–] jgrim@discuss.online 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks!

It's considered part of it. Projects on the Fediverse use Matrix for discussions (besides Pixelfed using Discord). I'm not seeing much push for XMPP.

I have old.discuss.online and plan to add more front-ends for Lemmy soon.

[–] jgrim@discuss.online 2 points 5 months ago

Nope, that's about it. Ha. I took my oldest son up there when he was 2, and he loved it. We're just thinking about going back to relive that experience. We've been trying to think of other options, too. My wife suggested we go to Chicago and go to some places there with the kids.

Great! Let us know how you like it or if you need any help. You can find me @jgrim@discuss.online.

We're thinking about going to Michigan and seeing the dunes this summer.

How long ago did you try it? Did you try an other federated chat clients?

It does have some rough edges that make adoption difficult but once you persavere beyond those poinpoints I start to like it. I had considered switching to something else like XMPP but I already have so many channels on Matrix I'd hate to try to get people to switch. I'm not certain I want to run to different services even if I could bridge them.

[–] jgrim@discuss.online 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks! After I updated my configuration, I saw that the communities were queued for processing. I'll keep an eye on it.

[–] jgrim@discuss.online 7 points 5 months ago

I doubt many are from other fediverse platforms. Pixelfed has been well known for a while. There are a lot of sharp edges running a Pixelfed server. He's stretched himself thin with all these projects. They need more love for sure.

Yes, I'm not certain I could tolerate so much darkness. I already suffer from depression pretty badly.

[–] jgrim@discuss.online 2 points 5 months ago

I realy love this series! It's simple and creative. I'm going to try this.

This is to be expected. The same thing happened with Lemmy, several times. I had a bunch of signups on social.photo; however, the new people that signed up aren't very active. I think a lot of people were just trying it out and weren't impressed.

There will be a short 5 to 10-minute outage as I scale down the environment. I was ambitious about the growth of this community during the Rexidus / Rexxit. The server sizes for discuss.online way outpace the daily load. Usage is typically well below 5% on all servers. Lemmy has become much more memory efficient, and I've made other adjustments to improve performance. Memory usage hangs around 10% for the backend and 30% for front-end servers.

The target is to reduce to better align with current donation payments. Server costs are over 10x the monthly donations right now.

Let me know if you have any issues. Please, remember to check https://status.discuss.online/ for updates during the outage.

Thanks, Jason

If you noticed some strange site behavior, it could have been caused by some load testing I performed.

A misconfiguration in rate limiting caused all users to share the same bucket. This has caused strange behaviors for some users.

I've stopped load testing and adjusted rate limits to prevent further disruptions.

Let me know if you still experience any issues.

You can always email: hello@discuss.online if you have issues logging in.

Thanks, Jason

 

Hello all,

I'm close friends with Ryan from Playing With Power MTG Youtube channel.

We've started a community on my Lemmy instanced for fans of MTG. You can join here: /c/playing_w_power_mtg@discuss.online.

I asked before I could make this announcement... so it's not spammy and stuff.

I hope to see you all over there!

 

Hello ~~r/nerf~~ /c/nerf and welcome!

I'm the admin of this instance of Lemmy. I'm eager to grow Lemmy's presence on the web and this instance in particular.

Is there anything I can do to help anyone? What are some features you wish to see in Lemmy soon?

I recently did an AMA (which didn't get too much traffic) if you have any questions that might have already been answered: https://discuss.online/post/70663

Also, did you know there is a discuss.online matrix space? https://matrix.to/#/#community-channels:discuss.online

I'm happy to send registration codes to anyone wishing to join Matrix that doesn't already have an account. I'm happy to set up a c/nerf specific channel too!

I'm here to help.

Thanks, Jason

Are there any communities missing from Lemmy that you'd like to have started?

Or

Are there communities on federated instances you wish existed here?

Please let me know if you said yes to either of these questions! I'd love to get them started here. I can either help you do it, or I can start to build it up.

I'm hoping to grow this community, and part of doing that is as simple as asking you what you want.

We're currently running the latest release candidate of Lemmy 18.2. It has many fixes; however, there are still some remaining issues.

One example is that some buttons do not appear correctly on the dark themes. I will keep my custom dark theme as the default theme for now. I think it just looks better, even with broken upload buttons. I will attempt to apply a fix to it later today.

If you see any other issues, please, let me know so I can forward them to the core development team-- if you don't wish to do so yourself.

Thanks a lot! -jgrim

 
 

The mod of this community has been removed due to unresponsiveness and lack of community care.

Anyone interested in Moderating this community, please let me know. I'm not 100% what this is.

 

Why do you lurk?

I used to be a lurker when on Reddit. I'd post here and there but mostly just kept to myself. It was because something as large as Reddit felt like shouting into the void.

On Lemmy, the communities are small, and so are the instances. Is it lack of something to say, anxiety, or you're a bot? What's up!

I find myself being way more active on Lemmy & Mastodon than on Reddit & Twitter.

 

We've updated Lemmy 18.1. There may still be some issues; however, I believe it resolves much more than it creates. Let me know if you see anything funky.

A lot of you are new to Lemmy and the fediverse. You might have some questions about it, about me, or about discuss.online and it’s sister site utter.online.

Ask me anything. I’ll be watching this thread all day today: June 30th, 2023.
