  • I’m not sure what you’ve seen, but I’m just going to pull stuff off my MAL that I don’t remember having that happen in no particular order. A lot of these are shows I’ve seen years ago, so if they do include that gag, there’s a chance I could be forgetting in some instances. Though I would recommend seeing if you can get past the distaste, style changes like that are super common for gags, and avoiding them locks you out of a lot of amazing shows like FMA Brotherhood as an example.

  • For my instance, I already have an MXRoute account that I use for my personal email, so I just set up an account on there and pointed Lemmy at that. I’ve been down the road of self-hosting email, and it is a dreadful experience.

    Granted, that was with full inboxes and POP3, just hosting the send part might not be so bad. But then you have to contend with possibly being on spam lists, and those are hard to get yourself removed from. If you have some cash to let someone else deal with that headache for you, I fully encourage taking that route.





  • Possible, but I don’t see it happening. Postgres provides functionality that MySQL/MariaDB don’t, so if a lot of that functionality is used, the primary devs probably aren’t going to want to take on the extra overhead of maintaining and testing it. In those cases, it would require additional rewriting on the Lemmy side to make it work seemlessly. A fork could likely do it, though.





  • Pretty much, that would force federation. Though I don’t think users in the other community would see your communities until someone from there searched one of yours.

    An idea I have is giving small communities an option to run the bot on their instance, and it would add them to a list. Then, communities voluntarily participating in that list could auto-populate each other’s communities through the bot. I could see spammers abusing something like this to try and flood feeds with garbage content until they’re defederated though, especially on instances with open registration, so there is a downside. But that’s something the community of proper users will need to be prepared to fight down the road.


  • I’m working on a Rust API wrapper around the existing common API to make it easier to use. Implemented the calls that could let someone do this exact thing at scale last night.

    It’s nowhere near ready for production and is still missing a lot of basic API functionality even for a simple bot, but I think it’ll be ready to publicly release in an alpha state within the next couple days.
