Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, I sure never heard that one before
For what it’s worth, I have offered my expertise to the admins around networking, security, scale, and automation.
It's open source. That's what's great about it, the pro that beats out all those cons. You don't have to offer anything to anyone, you can just start contributing.
It seems like if a user gets banned on their own instance, they show up on this list for everyone (I also see them on my ban list here), so unbanning them on your end probably does nothing.
Seems like just a bug, I think this list should only show local users who are banned, and instead it shows every ban it knows about across the fediverse.
I mean, the users have remained unbanned, at least as far as my own instance's settings go. The list is empty since I unbanned each user after a look at their seemingly benign history. But I guess that if they are banned on the instance they registered on, then they probably aren't able to interact with any federated instances in any case?
Even the vast majority of people who “quit reddit move to lemmy” will likely return in a few months, and that’s what Reddit’s banking on.
Even with third-party apps gone I don't expect to leave reddit entirely. But I will certainly be on reddit a lot less if there's no usable phone app.
Same in Firefox. I definitely stumbled over this a few times, confused over why links weren't working.
I got a response on GitHub recently from one of the devs about a related question. It seems that email verification is broken right now, but should be fixed soon:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1062#issuecomment-1577135751
I think email verifications might be broken on
0.17.3. They are fixed in the next release tho. Apologies for that.
I can confirm that my instance is in the list now - it seems that it was in fact just a matter of waiting a bit.
I can make no promises about longevity or anything else, since I'm really just dipping my toes into federated social media personally, but the instance I host currently blocks lemmygrad.ml and is open to signups.
Adding onto this: It would also be nice if it was easy to search in a communities list, and just filter the list there, instead of being redirected to the main search function.
It's not a bad start, necessarily, it's just extremely misleading to say it has anything to do with RARBG. In its current form this is a crappy, less usable reskin of 1337x.to that just somewhat visually resembles RARBG. It doesn't look like you've even bothered to add any of the archived RARBG magnet links to your database.
I'm not sure about the "AI Enhancing"... in general I would prefer that things be as close as possible to the official release. And certainly I would hope that if something has not just been re-encoded, but visually altered, that it would be clearly marked as such.
That's not how this works.
Lemmy doesn't run on an instance. It runs on everyone's instances. If lemmy should be deployed differently, then the first thing that would be needed is documentation and automated tools that make it easier for everyone to deploy their instances that way. You might be using lemmy.ml, but I'm not!
