Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children.
I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.
You can try it now on voyager.


It will be available for testing on voyager.lemmy.ml soon.


I live in Spain. The user donations alone would not be sufficient, but together with the money from NLnet it’s enough to pay the bills.
Of course I could earn much more money by working for a company. But I don’t like to be ordered around by a silly manager, be stuck in an office for 8 hours every day and get stressed working on a project I don’t care about. With Lemmy no one can tell me what I have to do, and it’s work that’s actually meaningful.


This is a known issue and will be fixed in Lemmy 1.0: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5210


The best channel is through the issue tracker, for example github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui. In practice Im not sure how the UI could be changed to make this clearer. Do you have an idea, or an example how another website handles this?


This is not possible unless you are an instance admin and query the database directly with sql.


Thank you :)

Localization is done through our Weblate. Theres also an open issue to let admins add extra email text: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5612
Yes exactly.
Its basically a collection of communities, so you can browse multiple related communities at the same time. Piefed already implements this under a different name:
This is already implemented, admins can specify a “suggested” multi-community which will be shown next to Subscribed/Local/All just like you say.
Thats from the rate limit, it seems you already did a settings import recently. That can take a lot of resources so its limited to once every 24 hours by default. If the import didnt work last time try again a day later.
Thanks :)
Fully agree that theres too much politics. Like you say too often about attacking some kind of enemy rather trying to understand other perspectives. For better or for worse, those seem to be the types of people more likely to use a new platform like Lemmy. Hopefully in the future they will also get tired of this stuff.
Thank you, all donations help :)
Liberapay is preferable as it has low fees and is also open source.
I actually got in contact with them yesterday, will probably have a meeting soon to discuss how we can work together with them.
Liberapay is the best option, because it doesnt take any fees beyond payment processing, and its also open source. Thanks for donating!
Thanks for the analysis. In addition to the monthly donations there have also been many one-time donations. I agree that it makes sense to update the donation dialog and popup with adapted text from this post, will do that shortly.
You mean that announcements like this should include a list with the names of all donors?
