Essentailly. Theres a couple of peertube instances that had that issue if i recall. Filters started to go up a coupke of years ago. Admins can see it pretty easy in the logs most of the time once its pointed out. Its a timing thing. Some software is beyter at it than others.

Same fantastic one liners.

Good questions. Its been a bit since ive looked at lemmys code so im going to dive in again.

Here is the docs for the votes themselves. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/blob/main/src/users/03-votes-and-ranking.md

You can see this in action here: https://lemvotes.org/ if I recall.

I know the vote model is here . You can see the logic here. It checks to see if the post is actually available in the community with other functions and other such checks. It doesnt ask any lemmy instance for totals (unless theres something im not aware of), it tallies based on real time data. Which can also include fediverse actions(not necessarily lemmy/piefed/mbin/etc… but also mastodon, gotosocial, and other such services).

One of the things piefed does a bit differently is it bunches up votes for sending to other instances. And there is a backfill operation when puling from new communities or users. I would argue its a bit better than lemmys system at least from a technical perspective. But its a VERY minor one. Its nice we have multiple ways of getting to the same result-ish.

Hope that helps! I dont know everything but I know a little bit.

It would be VERY difficult. I have no idea what im looking for other than the delay or block. And im not seeing anything today. If you can give me an example, I can check in and reproduce. Otherwise its nettle/haystack.

It might very well be a bug.

I can see it being frustrating. But thats what community software is. The good news is that even just reporting the issue can help us all out!

Yep i can. Ive helped out on both lemmy, piefed, mastodon, gotosocial, peertube and others. Little things mind but yeah its my day job.

Can you elaborate? Arent blocks public via the admin logs in lemmy? In addition that info can be pulled from the api from any instance/fediverse protocol.

I can reproduce of need be since i have my own lemmy and piefed instance and have over 20 years of software development experience.

I dont understand. Can you point to where in the code it has this? The algorithm/stack is open to anyone.

How would that work?

We are all on different instances. With different algorithms, technology, and differing filters. The code doesnt support what your saying.

Datacenters are going to heat up the us so much. Thats exceptionally bad for the people and environment around them.

Better than 100 clankers.

Agreed!

Ive thought about a yearly “election” for communities. So that mods can change more naturally. And so they themselves have less of a chance to get burnt out.

Really? Cause im seeing new stuff all the time. Maybe you need to find more things to subscribe to? Piefed hasva ton they give you the option to subscribe to as well as feeds (groups of like communities you can subscribe to).

I had one. It was great.

Theres a couple people I saw recently that went though the process of getting another job.

One was network engineer, he was snatched up really quick (less than a week looking). Another was a software developer and had a harder time (something around a month from what they told me in the meetup).

Both were remote.

I know it kinda sucks…but there are still jobs out there. They are just not in the MAANGA world ATM. I personally think those companies are trying to get beyond having staff as much as possible (which is silly).

I have the same ipod for the last 10 years. My ebook reader is from 12+ years ago. I see young people buying vynals for some reason.

When everything is an app to be streamed, physical goods seem to have an appeal.

I did the same. Thres even a tool that lets you pull everything from github real easy.

Once PR/issue federation works…its going to be SOL for GitHub. Or just a slow decline.

Yeah work is thinking of switching.

Its decent…but VERY hard to set up. At least at the moment.

Ive played around and contributed a tiny bit over the last couple of years. You basically set it up piecemeal and then you have an actual decentralized server/client setup on a number of devices. Phones, lora, etc… can all work with it.

Ive sent myself some pictures/voice/internet packets via two heltek v3 at one point using nothing but the system and a laptop not connected to the internet. It does what is says on the tin.

But it took quite a bit of time and effort to get there. And while it was neat, no one else is really using it and things go down all the time. So I moved on to “easier” projects like meshtastic/core.

Tor/onion is MUCH easier than using reticulum but also is dependent on quite a number of internet nodes all being up and doing their thing. reticulum can run on the equivalent of 1W (or less) helteks.

What is meshbrowser? Ive done work with reticulum but never heard of MeshBrowser?
