  • Instance administration is also quite time consuming and is also based on volunteer work.

    The vast majority of content on lemmy will be inaccessible to an instance who is under complete anarchy / unmodded.

    There is the fediseer project that helps instances block such instances.

    If you spin up an LLM farm instance it’s guaranteed to be blocked in many of the big ones - making your instance a lone island.







  • Not really no, I haven’t bumped into any issues using the community wiki megathread so far.

    My question was prompted by me accidentally using a old bookmark that took me to rentry and noticed that it had seen updates very recently and compared to lemmy community wiki which seemed like it has not been updated since october. I started wondering whether the links were still all fine and there was no need to update them, or was it simply mostly abandoned and do people rather use rentry?

    I personally prefer the lemmy community edition, but I’m such a noob when it comes to piracy that I put maybe too much trust into the megathread and this was just a wake up call to double check what am I clicking on and thought maybe asking the community about the state of the wiki wasn’t a bad idea.


  • Yeah with the “old megathread upkept by reddit’s piracy community” I mean that one and noticed that it is getting more edits than the community one here.

    Wanted to basically know whether the lemmy community megathread is basically unmaintained and should I just use the rentry one. I really like the idea of lemmy community megathread, but I feel like if it is not maintained it might be more of a hazard. But I’m no expert and wanted a community discussion about this.

    Edit: wanted to add that this is a pirate community afterall, would be of no shame to … pirate rentry megathread to lemmy community wiki every once in awhile, har har har









  • Ok I took interest and want to help you so I got into this, downloaded thunder and did some testing and my conclusion is that your issue is related to the lemmy/fediverse post/comment language settings. The hoodie post is the latest post on BIFL that is not tagged as english post.

    Ill elaborate in a sec once I can reproduce your issue on thunder.

    Edit 1: in the following screenshot from BIFL from the lemmy web UI you can see that the hoodie post is the only one with “undetermined” language setting:

    The posts you don’t see are set explicitly to “english”. By default posts should be “undetermined” but communities/instances can change defaults.

    I can’t fully remember the confusing logic of these content language settings, but ill report back once I play around with thunder for a sec.

    Edit 2: I can now confirm that I was able to reproduce your issue and that it is indeed what thunder calls “Discussion language”.

    Go to your account settings in thunder > Discussion language > make sure you have “undetermined” and also “english”. You should add other languages which you want to see.

    I know. I hate how this works as well, but that has always been an annoying part of lemmy and fediverse :( you are probably not seeing any posts / comments that have a language set. Most of lemmy content is either undetermined or english though, so adding english should fix it for you.

    Hope this works out!
