Föderations-Test!

I switched from Franz to Ferdi to Ferdium and then I noticed all it’s doing is creating PWAs in profiles, which made me use Chromium with some cookie deletion and privacy add-ons and just install the applications I needed as PWAs. You can start Chromium with a separate profile and auto open all of the apps which you can’t install as PWAs in tabs, and you can move the tab bar to the left side. Then you basically have Ferdium with extra steps and better efficiency.

They didn’t claim it’s distasteful, quite the opposite.

We’re hoping that v0.18.1 is out within the week or even tomorrow, when we wanted to upgrade.

Sitting yoga, talking a walk, lying flat on the ground and not a mattress for a while, changing seating position often, getting a better chair, static stretching, light aerobics, swimming.

Yes, copyright and should exist, but only for about ten years, which should be enough time to get rich off it. Afterwards you can just come up with new ideas.

Same, especially with questions about gender and sexuality. I’d have preferred a selfhosted LimeSurvey, Baserow.io or similar.

Maybe we should not federate by default but rather have admins send us an email to request federation, just like users have to send an email with a request to register?

Or not federate by default if the registration is open without requiring an email?

oh, no. hides from work

And Linux gaming is already here for years now ;)

sounds good, but please direct these suggestions not to Beehaw itself because we currently do not routinely contribute code to the software Lemmy. If you have suggestions about the software architecture, reach out to the Lemmy devs here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/

If anyone has an issue with defederating to reduce stress (and worse) for our volunteer mods, please watch the Documentary “The Cleaners” (2018) about how moderators in Manila for Facebook, YouTube, Twitter & Co. got PTSD (and worse) from moderating content. Or at least this video about the traumatic life of a Facebook moderator by The Verge.

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.

they look lovely :)

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.

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.

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.

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 (:
