If someone else makes the key to your house, they can make themselves a copy of the key to your house without you noticing.

Someday i will be able to send emails and not have people think i am an illiterate moron but not today.

You know you can copy and paste your emails into ChatGPT right?

Nice case, can you tell us which one it is, please?

If I would use a Raspi as a desktop, I’d install Arch Linux ARM or Armbian on it, however Raspberry Pi OS is probably also a good choice.

Thank you for your efforts to keep the community positive and the site running.

Please take care of yourself and watch out that you don’t burn out. The one thing which is worse for a community than a stressed admin/mod is a burnt out one.

Your post sounds like (I am not a qualified professional, this is not a diagnosis!) you’re currently in stage 3 (of 12, so 25% of the way to the end) of burnout, symptoms being Negligence of one’s own needs (social contacts, rest and relaxation are no longer as important as before. One has the feeling that one cannot take time for this).

If that’s really the case, try to hear your own needs and take a step back once you feel it’s too much.

You could create a post on [email protected], we’ll probably see it. If we don’t reply within a day, just ping me directly on here or Matrix (linked in profile). I can’t promise anything though as I’m not the only one deciding on this, but as a non-default theme we can most likely integrate it after your tweaks.

they look lovely :)

no time to explain a lot right now, but I created an organisation on my personal Gitea where we’ll probably make the configs public: https://code.tilde.fun/beehaw

most of the issues are nginx config (amount of workers, ulimits, open files, rate limits) and having to restart lemmy because it’s overwhelmed and OOMs.

don’t think the technical/backend admin team would scale well at the moment, but moderation is probably a huge time sink where you can help more efficiently right now. alyaza already posted the application form for moderators.

I can only promise that I respect you tons more than that Fuckface Apollo killer u/Spez!

thank you, it means the world to us :)

well, about that… it catches fire about once an hour and it’s been interesting to try to automate problem resolution with scripts and clever rate limits. More on our uptime/SLA plans here: 📢 Buzzworthy SLA Announcement 🐝 (in !support by me)

The UX could be a bit clearer, overall

Feel free to add suggestions to the devs’ Issue tracker on Github (after searching for duplicates). Could take them a while to respond since they’re very busy bees preparing the next big Lemmy release right now.

Unfortunately you can’t; it would need to be implemented by the owner of the instance to make it selectable there

If you manage to create a polished theme we can have a look at integrating it. It’s not that hard technically: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/theming.html

Looks interesting.

You could try giving the site a few more orange colours instead of red. You can create custom themes like this: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/theming.html

If you can figure out a good theme, I’ll be happy to discuss this with the admin team and we might include it as a selectable theme.

I wouldn’t want to have two tiers of people on Beehaw.

a small badge on their profile is probably cool and doesn’t hurt a lot. On the R-site you got access to a special community once you got R-gold, so maybe that’s an interesting option aswell.

ah, ye olde Beehaw switcheroo (:

That’s what I mean. There are [email protected] and [email protected] communities and a megathread on Beehaw, which should be way enough to talk about reddit, in my opinion. We should instead focus on creating content which isn’t reddit. I know it’s hard to part, and people are new, that’s why I created this thread to create awareness.

probably people open three threads about the same thing because they don’t know how to use the search function. That must be it. I will write a manual for this. /s

Why are you so obsessed with growth? Is it not OK if people discover the Fediverse without it being swarmed by new users? Is it the “number goes up” phenomenon?

I imagine this site isn’t running on a $200 Intel NUC with a desk fan tied to it.

Mid tier digitalocean droplet for 96€/month, will get more servers soon-ish after we checked the code improvements and horizontal scaling within the next weeks. No point in throwing money at a problem when you don’t know in which direction you should throw (:

You mean, like Discord? There’s decentralisation which works (Fediverse) and decentralisation which doesn’t (gated/closed off communities like Discord).
