Big spike in comments/posts this AM :/

Thanks for the in depth write up! I haven't looked too far into the docs or the subscription model, but is this a fault on Lemmy's end, or is this a function of how activity pub handles federated communication? (I'm very new to activity pub/federation, just now reading through the activity pub docs)

I do like your idea of distributed replication via keys,much better than what I had brainstormed

Edit: yeah it does look like it's a function of activity pub, wonder if theres a more scalable federation protocol out there

it could have been done much better.

Care to expand on this point?

Lol, because I'll be spinning up an instance this coming weekend with some QoL changes that I'd like to see, but don't think would be merged in (route schema for posts as i dont like {url/post/{post_id}

I'm presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit's,

Eg:

/post/{title}-{title_id}

/post/{title}-{title_id}/comments

Etc.

I have all the code changes locally but waiting for a new PSU fot my home server to come in tomorrow for my dev server as i dont feel like setting up postgres etc on my laptop

What are the current specs of the server y'all are using ?

Yep! Although it is too bad that when you sesrch for reddit alternstives, that lemmy doesn't come up.

Bonus points for: a way to get my playlists/liked songs off of spotify :)

Absolutely. The value from the knowledge that I've gained from reddit is intangible. It will be next to impossible for me to not use it as reference material in the future. I mean we're talking about close to 2 decades of crowdsourced information.

Being able to filter out bad information with downvotes was also amazing, and part of the reason I will most likely be moving away from beehaw communities (no downvotes, wtf?? trying to be youtube, eh? 🤣 )

It will still be a useful repository of knowledge. It's going to be a hard transition, most of the time when I google something I need to append site:reddit.com, to get a useful answer

Note: you will most likely still be able to view from mobile browser via teddit even after the api cutoff date
