This post is sent with Liftoff for lemmy. It's written in flutter, so I think you can use it with almost every device.

Please excuse my sub-par JavaScript, I am a backend dev.

All you need to do is paste this into Tampermonkey and enter your username and your instance url (on two locations).

This is not showing other users’ scores and it doesn’t make your score visible to anyone else than yourself.

So no need for karma farming. This is just for fun.

``` // ==UserScript== // @name Lemmy score // @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/ // @version 0.1 // @description Shows your total post/comment score at the top right. // @author You // @match ENTER INSTANCE URL HERE (leave the asterisk after the URL)* // @icon https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=feddit.de // @grant none // @run-at document-idle // ==/UserScript==

(function() { 'use strict';

var USERNAME = "ENTER USERNAME HERE"; var INSTANCE_URL = "ENTER INSTANCE URL HERE";

var totalScore = 0; var currentPage = 1;

function postResult() { var navbar = document.getElementsByClassName("collapse navbar-collapse")[0]; console.log(navbar); var ul = document.createElement("ul"); ul.className = "navbar-nav"; ul.id = "karma-ul"; var li = document.createElement("li"); li.id = "karma-li"; li.className = "nav-item"; li.innerHTML = '<div id="karma-div">' + totalScore + '</div>' navbar.appendChild(ul); ul.appendChild(li); } function callPage() { var userRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); userRequest.onreadystatechange = function () { if (this.readyState == 4) { if (this.status == 200 ) { var res = JSON.parse(this.responseText); if (res.posts.length==0 && res.comments.length==0) { postResult(); } else { totalScore += res.posts.map(x => x.counts.score).reduce((partialSum, a) => partialSum + a, 0); totalScore += res.comments.map(x => x.counts.score).reduce((partialSum, a) => partialSum + a, 0); currentPage++; callPage(); } } } } userRequest.open("GET", INSTANCE_URL + "/api/v3/user?username=" + USERNAME + "&limit=50&page=" + currentPage, true); userRequest.send(); }

setTimeout(callPage, 200); })(); ```

Use your favorite text edit tool to replace "thelemmyclub" with your instance name, or whatever you have your docker containers named. (Check docker ps). You'll also have to be able to run docker without sudo, so add your user to the docker group or put the cron job on root (if you do that make sure only root can access the file, for security) > > Also if you set up manually without docker, well I'm sure you have the skills to adapt these commands appropriately. > > First though run: > > docker exec -it thelemmyclub_postgres_1 psql -U lemmy -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -d lemmy -c "select * from local_user where id in (select local_user_id from email_verification where published < (NOW() - INTERVAL '60 minute'));" > > This will list all users who haven't completed email verification, except those that are under an hour old.

On FediDB the total user number for Lemmy has now reached 2,710,730.

---

"Top" servers first 3 pages are full with spam account:

!

!

!

It is clear these instances are filled with "idle" spam accounts since the MAU (Montly Active Users) and Status Count does not come anywhere close to the total users per those instances.

---

If anyone knows a solution for these admins to remove the spam accounts please let me know in the comments!

Let's hope v0.18.1 of Lemmy releases soon with the captcha added again since we do need it..

Lemmy backend 0.18.1 RC1 has been released. Will test later today on a clean server before Geddit upgrades.

> ## What is Lemmy? > > Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top. > > ## Major Changes > > ### HTTP API instead of Websocket > > Until now Lemmy-UI used websocket for all API requests. This has many disadvantages, like making the code harder to maintain, and causing live updates to the site which many users dislike. Most importantly, it requires keeping a connection open between server and client at all times, which causes increased load and makes scaling difficult. That's why we decided to rip out websocket entirely, and switch to HTTP instead. This change was made much more urgent by the sudden influx of new users. @CannotSleep420 and @dessalines have been working hard for the past weeks to implement this change in lemmy-ui. > > HTTP on its own is already more lightweight than websocket. Additionally it also allows for caching of server responses which can decrease load on the database. Here is an experimental nginx config which enables response caching. Note that Lemmy doesn't send any cache-control headers yet, so there is a chance that private data gets cached and served to other users. Test carefully and use at your own risk. > > ### Two-Factor Authentication > > New support for two-factor authentication. Use an app like andOTP or [Authenticator Pro]( > https://f-droid.org/packages/me.jmh.authenticatorpro/) to store a secret for your account. This secret needs to be entered every time you login. It ensures that an attacker can't access your account with the password alone. > > ### Custom Emojis > > Instance admins can add different images as emojis which can be referenced by users when posting. > > ### Other changes > > #### Progressive Web App > > Lemmy's web client can now be installed on browsers that support PWAs, both on desktop and mobile. It will use an instance's icon and name for the app if they are set, making it look like a given instance is an app. > > Note for desktop Firefox users: the desktop version of Firefox does not have built in support for PWAs. If you would like to use a Lemmy instance as a PWA, use use this extension. > > #### Error Pages > > Lemmy's web client now has error pages that include resources to use if the problem persists. This should be much less jarring for users than displaying a white screen with the text "404 error message here". > > #### Route Changes > > Pages that took arguments in the route now take query parameters instead. For example, a link to lemmy.ml's home page with a few options used to look like this: > > > https://lemmy.ml/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Active/page/1 > > > The new route would look like this: > > > https://lemmy.ml?listingType=All > > Note that you now only have to specify parameters you want instead of all of them. > > #### Searchable select redesign > The searchable selects, such as those used on the search page, have a new look and feel. No more inexplicable green selects when using the lightly themes! > > #### Share button > > Posts on the web client now have a share button on supported browsers. This can be used to share posts to other applications quickly and easily. > > #### Lemmy-UI Overall look and feel > > lemmy-ui is now upgraded to bootstrap 5, and every component is now much cleaner. > > Special thanks to sleepless, alectrocute, jsit, and many others for their great work on improving and re-organizing lemmy-ui. > > #### Database optimizations > > Special thanks to johanndt, for suggesting improvements to Lemmy's database queries. Some of these suggestions have already been implemented, and more are on the way. > > Query speed is Lemmy's main performance bottleneck, so we really appreciate any help database experts can provide. > > #### Captchas > > Captchas are not available in this version, as they need to be reimplemented in a different way. They will be back in 0.18.1, so wait with upgrading if you rely on them. > > ## Upgrade instructions > > Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker. > > If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat. > > ## Support development > > We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for almost three years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation. > > If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. No one likes recurring donations, but they've proven to be the only way that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive. >

A silly test post from the app 🦊👌🏻

!

The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day.

Updated list below:

• Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
• Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
• Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
• Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
• Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
• Beyond (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
• Limbo (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
• Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
• Slide (Android, lemmy): link
• Sync (Android, lemmy): link
• Unnamed (kbin): link

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time. Some of the apps are in very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

Another day another donut!

An open-source cross-platform Lemmy client for iOS and Android built with Flutter

This app is currently a very very WIP.

There is a community for this at: https://lemmy.world/c/thunder_app

Not sure of this is the right place, but here we go: Which client apps for Lemmy do you use on your, preferrably Android, smartphones? I'm currently having a look at Jerboa, which seems to be quite mature.

Huh. In the list with "fastest growing #Lemmy instances" are only spam instances now

I'm currently creating an instance ban list for Geddit to block those instances if they don't take action.. This is a disaster waiting to happen :lemmy:

https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse

@lemmy

The developer of Sync, a popular Reddit app for Android, has confirmed that they're building 'Sync for Lemmy'.

The developer confirmed it on Reddit here.

You can track it in the new Lemmy community here.
