If you post publicly on the internet, your post is publicly available on the internet. Anyone can read it. Everything that can be read can also be scraped.

So they don't need Threads to scrape all Lemmy data. Or to be more precise, if they wanted to scrape Lemmy data, they would most likely do it separately from Threads.

Phew, that was a close one! I almost went to touch grass, thanks for listening to your users and for the quick fix, devs!

Yup, and I guess XMPP is fine for Cisco's solution or Jitsi. But XMPP has always be used in a rather centralized way, the feature to talk to users on other services was always niche. And this centralized way has survived, where XMPP is used among users on the same server. Which is alright, but don't tell me Google/Facebook killed XMPP.

The XMPP stories/comparisons are such bullshit, imho.

Sure, both Google and Facebook both used XMPP for a while (even at the same time, so you could message someone from Google on Facebook), but XMPP was an unpopular niche protocol before that and it's still the same today. I used to be an uber (foss) nerd at the time but even for me the appeal was close to zero - although I've tried it several times.

I've also literally never heard of anyone signing up for Google or Facebook due to their alleged XMPP 3E strategy. Google Mail was already the most popular and most hyped mail provider and Facebook was at its height as the defacto quasi-monopolist social network as well - everyone who was willing to sign up with them had already long done so.

(Funnily enough, the Cisco in-house messaging and video calling solution we use at my work, through which we also receive landline calls, is still running on XMPP to this day, so I sorta became a XMPP user after all...except I haven't started this software in 10 months because fuck landline calls and we have better alternatives for chatting.)

Der Ursprung ist witzigerweise sehr unoriginell. Solche Posts gab es auf Reddit oder 9GAG schon vor vielen Jahren und immer wieder.

Dass es das erste Lemmy Meme ist, stimmt auch nicht. Vielleicht das erste seit der Explosion der Nutzerzahlen bei lemmy.world. Aber wer waehrend dem Reddit Darkout Protest auf Lemmy gekommen ist, duerfte auch schon das Lemmy-eigene no poop meme mitgekriegt haben.

The problem isn't that you're not stirring it enough, the problem is that you cook it too long.

Pasta doesn't need to be stirred while cooking.

Edit: Or you have a too small pot / not enough water. If in doubt, go with 1 liter per 100g.

While Matrix is federated, it uses its own protocol,.not ActivityPub like the others you mentioned.

Anyone can set up a Lemmy instance, write a small script/bot to find and follow all the communities on all the instances in the Fediverse and store all that data. It's not even hard, maybe a day of work for a proof of concept if you start from zero. (Then you have to figure out how to scale it properly, how to detect you're getting defederated and how to change domains to restart without the defederations. Maybe a week's worth of effort.)

Threads would be way overkill to achieve this goal. You don't need any users. You don't want any users. Just your one account that follows everything.

Edit: or you can just set up a web crawler like Google Search uses to find and store all the data you're looking for, you don't necessarily to be federated / use ActivityPub

The batsignal has often been described as a way to instill fear in the criminals, not as the most effective way to summon Batman per se. Certainly Batman doesn't just watch fhe sky all night long to wait for the batsignal to come up, he has ways to get notified without seeing it.

Gibt es eigentlich irgendwo eine Uebersicht, wieviel Ressourcen feddit.de braucht und was das kostet? Und vielleicht, wie ihr Lemmy installiert/konfiguriert habt, soweit es vom Default abweicht.

Einfach aus Interesse, was es fuer eine Instanz dieser Groesse braucht.

Changed photo previews in post feed to have a consistent maximum height and updated opening animation (prefanatic)

Thanks, I hate it. I don't want a preview, I want the real thing. Full pictures in the feed was one of my favorite features about Liftoff and you just removed it completely. Could at least have made it a setting.

I guess I could live with previews if there was a clear indicator on whether I'm seeing a preview or the whole picture fits the maximum height - now I only realize I need to click on it because e.g. the meme doesn't make any sense so there's probably some caption that I'm missing.

Great work otherwise, thank you for your efforts, but this feature sucks. (Great opening animation, though.)

Way more Americam than apple pie. Apple pie isn't American at all. The Americas didn't even have apples, initially.
