I changed the pict-rs settings a bit to allow more file types, but I assume your main issue is frontend and/or browser related.

Well I guess !climate@slrpnk.net !energy@slrpnk.net and !technology@slrpnk.net are already quite well known.

!balconygardening@slrpnk.net and !inperson@slrpnk.net are kinda cool as well. In general have a look at our community list, we have some good ones that are at least reasonably active.

Sounds like that would be welcome on slrpnk.net as long as you don’t plan to set up a Reddit repost bot or something like that. Also note our 5mb image upload limit and currently our pictrs image back end does not allow animated media (gifs/video) but I would be willing to look into changing that setting for small files (storage is not unlimited).

Hmm, no. I guess this is only a lemmy-ui frontend issue. Although I probably need to have another look at the pict-rs image settings for animated formats.

We had a few such attempts in the past, but experience shows that Reddit mods have limited influence on that. Even if they are really trying to move over people it ends up being only a small minority and after a few weeks/months they all go back.

What we need is more homegrown communities that grow naturally by attracting people.

No, it works the same in both directions.

I think the cross-post issue was fixed in 0.19.5 as well. As for the other issue in 0.19.5 (only on Chromium), can you make a bug report on the lemmy-ui github repo for it please?

Its not a big deal to have one more user.

I assume the part in the TOS refers to an experimental feature of Synapse that allows setting a message retention time. I think what it does is to set a deleted flag in the DAG and maybe overwrite the internal storage…but deleting anything on Matrix is surprisingly difficult and this experimental feature comes with a big disclaimer in the config file.

However, the ever increasing storage requirements are a serious issue for large public Matrix servers, having resulted in some of them shutting down permanently and the tchncs one had to do expensive hardware upgrades solely because of that.

That’s not how Matrix works. Matrix runs an internal DAG that stores all messages basically permanently.

Yes, I could easily configure our Podman containers to auto-update, but given how there have been significant breaking bugs in Lemmy releases before, I think it’s better to not automate it.

Upgrade to 0.19.5 was a quick one. Please let us know if this fixed the main issues with the lemmy-ui interface on 0.19.4.

I would like to discuss this with the other admins first. To be honest I am a bit sceptical as I don’t think what you want to do can be really done as even if you think you are being unbiased in your banning criteria, it is basically impossible to do so. And as a result you will likely get an endless number of “polite” concern trolls that will test how far they can go.

We are defederated from Lemmygrad and Hexbear so at least that part of the Lemmyverse wouldn’t be able to participate if the community was hosted on SLRPNK.

Firefox 😎

If we gave that impression it wasn’t intentional. But of course feel free to join our own groups chats as well.

It’s for sure an interesting project for small or single user instances, but I doubt it scales well, at least in its current state of development.

Yes? It is a fully federated XMPP account/client. Why do you think there would be a limit on that?

Yeah, there is something messed up there. For the time being, maybe use one of the alternative frontends?

The first two are sweeping generalizations that are like that simply not true and only serve to attack the work of the moderators. If you want to critizise something you need concrete examples.

The last one… the historical accuracy is debatable, but was it even posted on a thread that discussed pre-ww2 history? Usually such cut&paste comments are made to derail justified complaints regarding ML propaganda about recent events.
