Totally won't just stay on my Hexbear account...

Sorry, that doesn’t work for me 😐

i'm a software engineer and i've worked in IT for 15 years before that. i'd like to pay back how much i've been enjoying .ml

how can i help?

[–] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Contribute code on github!

i want to contribute to .ml and minimize how much of my effort goes to .world or .shitjustworks; i think my IT experience would be more beneficial to this end.

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you don’t want to contribute to the Lemmy project, because other instances might benefit from it?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

lemmy.ml runs on the vanilla Lemmy codebase, so from a software development standpoint, you mostly can’t pick & choose which instances you’re helping. You can work on whichever features/GitHub tickets you’d like to see on lemmy.ml (though keep in mind that a few features are optional/configurable, and the lemmy.ml admins and/or user base might not want some enabled. It’s a good idea to read the room before investing the effort).

Best way to decentralize users more would probably be to make your own instance. .world is certainly centralizing Lemmy's userbase too much right now.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

no reddit diaspora sites has ever survived and no instance on the lemmyverse has the critical mass of users necessary to recreate reddit's subreddit communities.

the people looking for a reddit alternative will leave and .world will become like any other instance after .worlders start to miss the niche content enough.

[–] whydudothatdrcrane@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As for this valid focus on critical mass of users, perhaps a linked tags approach is better than a multiple-communities structure, until specific tags gain enough friction to become communities. Just thinking.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

i had a similar thought when i used to spend most of my time on .world and felt that the lemmyverse was lacking where reddit was overflowing.

i haven't felt that way since i've switched instances and found more content than i could ever finish reading/watching/learning from other lemmy-ites.

Good luck with the testing!

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, the good old “testing in production” 😆

Good luck!

Chad Lemmy vs Virgin Reddit

That's dinner time for me and tomorrowI'll be having a first date dinner: we both hope there are going to be good news after those two hours.
Good luck to the both of us!

Sry for the downtime, we're back up.

We tried several things but weren't able to diagnose the specific problem, but we've narrowed it down to a specific file. We're keeping track of it in this issue. Most likely its gonna be one of those extremely simple things that got missed.

Thx for being patient, we'll probably have more downtimes in the future as we need to test more fixes.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Of course right after I start work 😢 but forreal thanks for all the work y'all do.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

I'll take sleeping pills to get through it.

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

We are so back! 🥳🥳🥳

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks!
