It’s upsetting to see the shit-talking because I imagine reading that nonsense is emotionally draining, especially when you’re already stressed out with a billion things to do. I’ve seen you guys active in the lemmy community for years and you’ve always been wonderful. I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates the work you two have put in and are currently putting in. I’m really happy that your project is starting to catch on.
Honestly we’re all adults here and we all know how the Internet works. Best to not feed the trolls and ignore them. The more attention you give the more it gives the appearances that their rhetoric has validity. Just move on and let’s all focus on making a better fediverse for all
I’m in it for the long haul, the first federated service I’ve used that felt like a true replacement for it’s centralized counterpart.
Thank you and @dessalines and other contributors for your effort. It must be really overwhelming to suddenly have so many new people using lemmy. Being overloaded is to be expected in these circumstances. Please make sure that you don’t overwork yourselves now and set limits on how much work you do.

What is the best way to donate to lemmy? According to this article it’s Liberapay. Is that true?
Yes liberapay doesn’t take any commission.
I had such a hard time explaining to someone today that there is no universal set of Lemmy rules/politics and you can run your own instance with literally 0 rules
people have forgotten that things can exist outside of the few billionaire/trillionaire closed source walled gardens they’ve become so reliant on
Just made a donation on Liberapay, thanks for everything that you’ve done!

Great to see an update. I know you guys got overloaded quickly and I appreciate what you are doing. I’ll check out the donation link.
God I appreciate these dudes. I don’t envy them one bit right now…
Yeah, very difficult situation, I truly hope they’ll find the help they need.
Well, I’m lending a hand. I have some patches in production already, and I’ve only been contributing for a week or so.
If you have the means, please help out. There are tons of bugs, important features, etc, and it’s a pretty stable base, so it’s a good time to jump in.
@sugar_in_your_tea About “good time to jump in”: the small size of the lemmy dev community gives you a chance to shift off Microsoft to a community git forge e.g. #Codeberg [1] that aims at forge federation [2] *before* there’s too much #TyrannyOfConvenience inertia. Mastodon devs are reluctant to even *discuss* giving up Microsoft [3].
@ulu_mulu @lemmy #GiveUpGitHub #forgefed #forgejo https://giveupgithub.org
[1] https://codeberg.org
[2] https://forgefed.org
[3] https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22572Well, I don’t get to make that decision. If the maintainers choose to do that, I’ll follow, but there’s a good chance that a lot of the other contributors won’t. For something in rapid development with a lot of community contributions, you want that barrier of entry to be as low as possible.
So if it was up to me (and it’s not), I would say no. I would be open to an official mirror somewhere else, and perhaps moving to a separate feature/bug tracking system (esp. if it’s easier for the community to report bugs), which imo is the biggest barrier to moving the repo.
I guess I’m not particularly worried about it since the project is FOSS and the difficulty in switching is pretty low.
It’s not much but I upped my contributions a bit. Thank you for everything you’ve done for the open, non-corporate internet.
For the past three years dessalines and I have been funded to work on Lemmy full-time by generous support from the NLnet foundation. These donations are paid out when we implement certain new features. But now we are busy answering questions, reviewing pull requests and urgentlyfixing problems. That means we are unable to work on the milestones agreed with NLnet, and won’t receive payments from them.
:(
When will we get details about security vulnerability? Is there a formal method for instance owners to stay up to date on those kinds of notices?
Thanks for the work my friends.
It’s xss, so users could include javascript code in posts which would be executed in other users browsers. We announce new releases in a couple of places, like the instance admin chat, !lemmy@lemmy.ml community and github releases.
post it to Mastodon with LemmyDev account
@dessalines@lemmy.ml @nutomic@lemmy.ml this is a good idea for the users over there to share
I hope this new influx of people will also bring in a nice influx of nerds who will make this platform better over time. :)
yeah, the 2014 exodus to voat was all pissed off nazis, but now the nerds are pissed off so I think you’re right
I was recently sharing Lemmy to some people and how the entire Reddit blackout is stupid considering everything the platform has done in the past and the mindset of the CEO.
Someone brought up Voat and they were lamenting how that failed, and I decided to check out the WayBack Machine captures for it, and Christ, nothing but antisemitism and racism.
OH BOY VOAT
Yeah. Free speech absolutism does not attract a good crowd, and once you attract that crowd you will not attract any other crowd because the content output they produce is repellant to any normal person.
