This post is going to be a long one, to spare you some reading I’ll do a TL;DR,
but I really would appreciate you reading the whole thing. TL;DR: Burggit (The
Lemmy Instance) will be shutting down July 14th 2024. Due to lack of funding,
grievances with the Lemmy software and lack of resources, energ...
So hyper-sexualized little girls in anime style? Shouldn't that fit right in with lemmy users? Because when I came onboard, I had to (and still do) block one after another degenerate sub like that.
"You don't understand! It's not a child in lingerie with huge begging eyes and monstrous tits! It's art you troglodyte!"
Always a shame when an instance shuts down, but it is nice when the admins are transparent and provide an advanced warning.
I don't believe I am subscribed to any communities on that instance. Are there any valuable ones which don't have an alternative on a more stable instance, and have not yet migrated?
I still don't think the best solution to an under-staffed team is to try to make a competing under-staffed team. I think just contributing would be more helpful for all, especially with the plugin support coming soon to Lemmy
That post complains about not being able to view/manage images hosted by your instance, but v0.19.4 already fixed that last week? So that kinda disproves them saying the Lemmy developers didn't want it to be possible. Also the post complains about the amount of storage used by caching images but that was also fixed/improved in v0.19.4
Their other complaint about not being able to view a list of users, there's an open issue for that, give it a thumbs up reaction if you think it should be prioritized (github lets you sort by them like upvotes) https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2450

You don't need 0.19.4 to avoid large storage costs. You can adjust your nginx setup to set a limit on the size of images allowed. For example, Feddit.dk only allows images up to 5MB. Anything larger than that will be linked to rather than stored locally.
