Developer, 11 year reddit refugee
Salient demonstration, but if image proxying were to come to Lemmy I’d hope it was made optional, as it could overburden smaller instances, especially one-person instances (like mine). We also need a simple integrated way of configuring object storage.
I wrote a few scripts to automate this entire process for me:
If you’re able and willing to self-host, I’ve developed a pretty great system that automates my entire process. The app I’m using on mobile is also available on iOS
I was using Vanced for around a year, and immediately switched to Revanced when it became available. No issues so far
My friends instance, crystals.rest, is hosted on a $5/mo Linode with 1GB of RAM
Putting all of the large communities on a single instance is just reddit with more steps. It’s good that one of the larger Lemmy communities is not also on the largest Lemmy instance. Lemmy.world suffers a lot of outages (in part because it’s so centralized), meanwhile this community remains available.
I welcome any alternatives to the current situation, but unfortunately that’s where we are right now.
The only solution would be a massive effort that requires decades of engineering hours and a few million dollars.

Firefox is actually a bit faster and lighter than Chrome these days. Worth checking out it or it’s forks over Chrome
Lesser of two evils
Or install ReVanced and enjoy all of that for nothing, including Sponsorblock
The hype is because Sync was a long standing and well respected client for reddit, that is now available for Lemmy.
For many users this means they can finally try Lemmy through an interface they know from a dev they trust.
I don’t use Sync, or Infinity, but the more the merrier!
Welcome! Here’s a Youtube Short from @misnina@crystals.rest that I think does a great job of summarizing Lemmy and the Fediverse:
I’m also seeing this take place on the desktop site. The Sync admin can’t really do anything algorithmically as that isn’t supported by the API
He could request top posts in X time frame, like last 4 hours or so and then do manual sorting, but it seems more likely that it’s just an influx of users as a result of the app releasing.
This has nothing to do with rockstar culture and everything to do with the fact that you’re spending 10x the amount of typing complaining about an issue than it would have taken you to just go and fix it and be done with this. So either you don’t want it fixed because you prefer to complain and die on your sword, or you don’t know how to fix it.
Either way I’m done with the conversation. If there is actually an issue I expect someone else who is actually levelheaded and reasonable will identify it and submit a PR. Because that’s how you improve open source software, not by throwing tantrums and making wild assumptions about peoples agendas. Go touch grass or something.

Then go fix it and open a PR
It’s amazing how you have fallen hook line and sinker into believing that the problem is difficult to solve. It’s the agenda that is the problem.
If the problem is easy to solve, then go solve it, open a PR, and come back here once you’ve done so.
If you’re going to signal that something needs to be done, and you want people to join you in supporting that belief, then actually put something forward that people can get behind. What would me getting angry alongside you actually accomplish? If there was a PR then the community could go and say “Here is a solution, here’s why we think it’s worth merging” and a discussion could actually be had.
Instead you’re just giving rhetoric about how they don’t want to solve this without any evidence, actually creating a PR and having it rejected would be all the anyone needs to see to support your opinion, so go do it.
They have people like you who will not read actual code to see that they only care about the fact that “Rust is cool programming language” and crashing code doesn’t get any priority.
I’ve have merged PR’s in the Lemmy repos. Don’t assume you know anything about me or my position, because you don’t. I don’t have any particular stance on Rust and if this is actually an issue it’s one I’d like to see resolved, so go open a PR and get the conversation started instead of whinging here.
They even started a new front-end Rust application this month, because they don’t care to bother with the core of the site
Are you referring to this repo that Dessalines forked and hasn’t made a single commit against? That hardly seems like they’re abandoning the current frontend and more like a dev messing around with various tech as we all do.

If you know what’s wrong, and you know how to fix it, then either put up or shut up. Go make a PR and fix the problem and show us that they rejected the PR because they’re not interested in improving performance. There’s folks like Phiresky actually making meaningful contributions to the backend to help improve Postgre performance, something both dessalines and nutomic have said they’re not well experts in. Be like Phiresky, actually put your code where your mouth is.
Lastly, I don’t know if you were aware of this, but the Lemmy devs don’t owe you anything. Even less so if you’re not actually contributing code or money to help move this project forward.
You’re spamming this all over this thread. Why don’t you go create a PR instead? If you think you have a better solution then go discuss it with the people who have the full context and try to get it fixed instead of complaining here.
Same experience in Argentina and Paraguay
I’m really enjoying Otterwiki. Everything is saved as markdown, attachments are next to the markdown files in a folder, and version control is integrated with a git repo. Everything lives in a directory and the application runs from a docker container.
It’s the perfect amount of simplicity and is really just a UI on top of fully portable standard tech.
