This basically shuts my idea down

it’s not very difficult to modify the code for something like this… and closing off registration wont’ let anyone else login and create new content form your istance.

Personally the load on the major servers by having one more instance that subscribes to everything is why I think people should back off from creating more than the 1500 instances Lemmy network already has. Delivery of every single vote, comment, post 24 hours a day just so one person can read content for an hour or two a day.

That makes sense for email systems where all that content doesn’t have to be sent, but for Lemmy it’s a huge amount of overhead.

Keep in mind that you’re going to be retrieving and storing a huge amount of data running these scripts

And you are adding to the overload of lemmy.world, beehaw, lemmy.ml, etc who have all the popular content communities. Federation has a lot of overhead, as does having to distribute a community one vote at a time to 500 subscribed servers.

pend my time on Lemmy scrolling “All”, which I think is a pretty common thing.

There was a lot of advice handed out back in June that the answer to scaling Lemmy was to go create instances. The reason it works is because “All” is empty on a virgin system ;) With no data in the database, the logic Lemmy hands to PostgreSQL works real fast ;)

The real war is hate media memes and messages that trickle down to those obedient to voices from the clouds, electric voices these days. In the old days, books that said burning bushes gave out signals.

I use that periodically to compare feeds, and like I said sometimes a post or comment is missing, actually I often see a comment that looks like it’s responding to a another comment, but I cannot see the parent comment.

There have been bugs in Lemmy not sending comment deletes to all the instances. And lemmy.world and lemmy.ml were not communicating fro Saturday through Tuesday. Lemmy.world had some significant outages. It gets pretty tricky to track down and identify exact causes while things are unstable.

Nolan pushed the limit of IMAX projectors with Interstellar run time in 2014, he went out of his way to find out what the maximum that could be done with platter modifications, an extra 20 minutes.

Sunday, lemmy.ml is performing better than I have seen it in 60 days. I did get errors on Saturday and significant lag. Not sure if activity is just today or what, but it’s really been fast in routine browsing.

Who are you? I am published author Stephen Alfred Gutknecht, an expert in messaging systems and operating systms. Do you have evidene and facts? (I do have brain damage)

Can you identify who you are?

Can you answer details about GitHub issue 2910 on Lemmy project and the date?

I am sorry to all the never-joined, never-stayed users of Lemmy in May, June, July 2023 “Tweet is X”, “Reddit is $API” ------ because I could not draw enough attention and developers to Github Issue #2910 avoidance. I failed entirely in my social effort I tried to do for 60+ days. I really failed, brain damaged fuck-up I am. The worst failure in my life, and it’s the end of the line.

I’m not sure if there’s a minimum Postgres version specified anywhere in the docs, I took a quick look but couldn’t find it.

I do not find it in the “From Scratch Install” documentation. I will work to revise those documents this weekend to warn people that 0.18.3 and later is incompatible. Thank you again for sharing.

docker compose down &&

Looks like the & parsing in code blocks is another bug in 0.18.3 like the post title one. I’ll add your comment to the GitHub issue.

Thank you for sharing.

Heads-up that a new issue on GitHub reporting this problem upgrading from 0.18.2 to 0.18.3:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Couldn't run DB Migrations: Failed to run 2023-07-08-101154_fix_soft_delete_aggregates with: syntax error at or near "trigger"', crates/db_schema/src/utils.rs:221:25 note: run with 'RUST_BACKTRACE=1' environment variable to display a backtrace

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3756

If you use “Lemmy from scratch” install,

you may be on an older PostgreSQL that Ubuntu distro provides, not the same as the Docker install method.

Heads-up for anyone who compiles the Rust code from source and is testing/integrating their own manual changes/patches to the code… the main git branch is not what Lemmy 0.18.3 is based on. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3602

You are speaking as someone who is home, transportation, and water secure. Someone with a marginally less stable life

Exactly. I’m in Arizona right now and it’s incredibly hot with no break from the heat. Equipment overheating is a real issue, my development computers and phones have all had problems.

And I would like to see a federation-wide policy that all bots must be clearly identified as bots (an attribute on their account). And features in the site code to block all bots as a user preference.
