I might actually end up disabling swap in the end. I wanted to update that apparently I “fixed” the problem (not sure if permanently) by turning off the pc, unplugging the PSU, and holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Normal reboots weren’t enough. I’ll take it for now.

I’m using Memmy, Mlem, Liftoff, Thunder and wefwef lmao

Haha, same here! I was so proud I knew what the title was referring to before reading the post. Lol

Good luck with storage lol

As long as you make it clear in the sidebar, I think it’s perfectly fine IMHO

It’s not even that selfish because surprisingly you might even find a few people who like your content and subscribe! Lol

Maybe I’m wrong, but you would be fetching the content from all the other instances. The other instances would only need to fetch your content if someone searches for the communities you created. So, if you mostly post and comment on existing communities, the other instances wouldn’t have to do any extra work.

It’s like r/The_Donald but on the opposite end of the political spectrum

This is what the devs are saying: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977#issuecomment-1584337286

I don’t want to argue, so I’ll end it here.

You can fight for a better implementation, sure. Of course I would not be against that! I just personally fail to see the real issue with the way things are now on a public platform.

What about The Internet Archive? Search engines cache? Copies made by other people? etc.

This is a public platform; don’t share things you don’t want to be shared. You can’t truly expect anything being deleted forever everywhere.

The community here is much better IMHO

Much less toxic (I’m not talking about lemmygrad)

I don’t understand this question. This is a public platform, there are no secret messages or info. What do you mean by privacy? Hide what from whom?

See one of the two devs’ essays here for his political views: https://github.com/dessalines/essays

Having said that, you’re free to join a different instance (like the one I’m commenting from), if you have issues with that. I haven’t personally noticed anything actually problematic though.

Edit: quick answer -> definitely not neo-nazis, and probably not relevant either

Impossible to say now, but definitely quite a lot of them are not going to be regular users. I still hope/believe the majority will stay though.

I don’t think so.

Workarounds for desktop usage:

• extensions to force opening all links in a new tab (example)
• just remember to use middle click instead of right click (or equivalent key for your device)

Super cool, thanks

If you want to use it just for yourself (thus removing the load of your own usage from the other public instances), sure.

If you intend to open it up for many users, you need to consider whether you’re capable of managing that kind of load. Lemmy is relatively lightweight though.

On my post here, you can find some informations about other people running an instance in the comments.

giga chad

Did it work though?

Blindly recommending the AUR is dangerous though, as you really should check what you’re installing/updating every time.

It could be in cool (in the future) to have a donate button instead, so to support users who are posting great content

On the other hand, donating to lemmy should be separate (the way it is now) and not a cut of those donations to users
