What you should do as a mod is set the allowed languages in the community settings. Then people wont be able to post in other languages. Though I realize that the UI for this isnt so good for now.

We are still in our Lemmy 1.0 holding pattern, with me too afraid to write any zippy code in case something breaks and I have to go back over that uncommented clusterfuck that I mashed together.

What kind of integrations do you have right now, is there any way to see the code? Lemmy 1.0 has a backwards compatible API which can cover some use basic use cases. You may also be interested to write Lemmy plugins (in Webassembly) for your use cases.

Your post also made me wonder if Lemmy should have any builtin functionality against bots.

Good to see this update, well done!

Yes, you can test it yourself by registering an account on voyager.lemmy.ml with the sidebar button (direct link). There are also lots of other new features available, I really need to write a post about them. To name just a few: private communities (followers require mod approval), webassembly plugins, post tags (ui is not finished yet), and more…

Not sure what you mean by “advanced caching”. There is some basic caching for data which rarely or never changes, for example most things in /api/v3/site. But other data like post listings change a lot, so caching is not an option and instead its a matter of optimizing the sql queries (using the right indexes, reducing the number of joins, making benchmarks and looking at query plans).

Here is an issue on this topic: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5555

That is correct, and this happens to be another one of the issues which is already fixed for version 1.0. Basically for each ban we also store which instance it’s associated with, which is shown in the modlog and the new mod action notifications. If you’re interested I can link you the PR.

Notifications for mod actions are already implemented for Lemmy 1.0. Mod mail would take a lot of work to implement, and we have plenty of other things to work on. Being able to view your own removed posts makes sense, will note that down.

What’s wrong with instance bans on Lemmy?

Python is an interpreted language, which is fundamentally always slower than a compiled language like Rust. However the main performance bottleneck are actually sql queries, and I believe we make a lot more effort to optimize them compared to Piefed.

You can try it now on https://voyager.lemmy.ml/multi_communities

You can try it now on voyager.

Yes just like that, and it will be compatible over federation.

Afaik lemmy.world doesn’t have image proxying enabled, so your browser/app has to connect to other servers to load images. If you use an instance which has this enabled it’s probably faster.

At some point in the future I will also have time to implement community migration for Lemmy. In theory it’s not so complicated, but there are lots of other things to do.

We are close to releasing a first beta version for 1.0. Admins who are adventurous can already upgrade their instance to that. The final release will take longer though, with bug fixing, performance optimisations and general polishing.

Ads dont really work with federation, because you could simply access the content from another instance which doesnt have ads. Even if ads are directly encoded in the video file, it wouldnt be so hard to add something like sponsorblock to a Peertube instance.

It seems to me that our only chance is to wait for commercial platforms to enshittify and destroy themselves, because we can never compete with the amount of money and resources they have available.

There are a few reasons:

• Test if the plugin system really works
• As an example for other plugins
• Avoid bloating Lemmy core with functionality that isnt needed by everyone
• With plugins its much easier to make adjustments or new releases, and no need to wait for a new Lemmy release (and no need to fork all of Lemmy for minor adjustments)

I also developed a plugin for automatic language tagging of posts/comments, it works quite well even on very short text. Will also put it on voyager.lemmy.ml soon.

It will be available for testing on voyager.lemmy.ml soon.

EU officials are, incidentally, exempt from chat monitoring – which is quite convenient for someone like von der Leyen. Their communication is explicitly NOT to be monitored. The mere fact that those who drafted this law don’t want it to apply to them tells you everything you need to know about it.
