  • For #3, as far as the instance lists and the Lemmy Community Browser are concerned, I believe a 301 redirect should work as long as it redirects with the URI. e.g. old.lemmy.tld/c/Hangout -> new.lemmy.tld/c/Hangout . Eventually my new instance will be picked up by those, but I’m still not sure if/when my old instance would drop off (see question #1)

    That would allow anyone clicking into my old instance from any of the currently published instance lists to land on the new domain. But I’m not sure how currently federated instances would handle that.





  • Even worse, the fancy smart display doesn’t even have to physically break to become inoperable.

    Most smart devices connect and are locked to a single company’s servers and become e-waste the moment they decide to pull the plug.

    If you’re lucky, you or a techy friend can flash an open firmware to them, but that’s not always possible.

    To expand on that, I do a join between the local_user and person tables so I can grab the name and display names for the local users:

    select 
      p.name, 
      p.display_name, 
      a.person_id, 
      a.email, 
      a.email_verified, 
      a.accepted_application 
    from 
      local_user a, 
      person p 
    where 
      a.person_id = p.id;
    









  • I’d heard about Lemmy a good while back, but there wasn’t much interest in it until the Reddit API kerfuffle.

    I really like the concept of federated social networks and breaking free of the big tech rage-baiting algorithms. Just give me a list of topics I can follow and let me sort and filter them how I want. Don’t suggest or recommend things to me, especially if they’re designed to make me angry just for sake of engagement.

    Lemmy seems like it has a lot of potential in that regard, and I’m hopeful it’s able to build a respectful user base. I’m primarily here to feel out the landscape and be the change I hope to see in the world.
