  • Purge deletes everything, including the fact that you've deleted them and they become searchable again. It's like a complete reset. Even the act of removing them is reset

    You can purge, and then bring it up again and then remove if you want to delete any cached media or posts.

  • You can also remove specific remote communities, which bans them from your site instead of the entire remote instance. Make sure to use remove, not purge.

    The community will not appear in the list nor be searchable.

  • I'd be more inclined to reach out to Louis Rossmann, especially since he's said he won't post on reddit anymore. Maybe we can even find a home on lemmy for his right to repair campaign.

  • Hey there! Thank you for reaching out. I'll definitely not block your instance then. Regarding postgres, first login to the postgres container with docker exec -it containername busybox /bin/sh

    You can get the container name by running docker ps. Once inside login to psql console with psql -U lemmy

    I've written this from memory, but it should be very similar if not the same.

    EDIT: Consider saving the usernames and details of the bots that signed up. We might be able to use that for some analysis.

  • They should be. There is currently a known bug that causes some messages to either take some time to appear or to be lost if they're not sent out in time by your server, which can happen when it's saturated. Fortunately the new lemmy version coming out tomorrow fixes this.

    It can also be related to language filters that could be on by default.

  • I did not know that. I might want to consider eating more cheese just to have more time :P

  • Do you need energy? So there's something called the pineapple diet (please ask your doctor first) where you eat pineapple for three days to lose weight. Biggest problem here is the spam, so I guess you'd have to use some sort of food that can be rehydrated like soylent.

  • You can request them yourself in the requests community.

  • They should. You need to search for it to make it available on your instance.

  • Never heard of them but I'll keep an eye out!

  • Not sure. Probably if you run the bot yourself. I think it's open source.

  • Not yet. Eventually it'll be a thing. That said, expect the ALL feed to be very messy. It's better for now to curate feeds via Subscribed timeline until that feature is implemented.

    That said it should be trivial to create a userscript that filters out posts from certain remote communities as a sort of way to get around this limitation for now. Have a look at /c/plugins@sh.itjust.works or submit a request there. Should be able to make it happen for Desktop and for browsers that support plugins like Kiwi on android.

  • Thank you for this! Saved!

  • It's read only and it doesn't give you access to the original comments. But it works really well for stuff like news, images, etc... where the discussion is mostly not the important part.

    A good idea is to create discussions on the lemmy side. What I would do is cross-post it or post it to native lemmy communities and then we can have the discussions there. For example, for news articles and stuff like that.

  • Yeah, it might be a just a matter of weeks, but I agree that it eases the transition.

    Especially with yiff / furry images that weren't created by OP on reddit but an artist, I believe there's a strong moral case that we should not care whether or not reddit profits from an artist's content.

    In the end we're essentially just using lemmy as any other RSS reader.
