Supporting our instance
I wonder if you should create a Matrix space for coordinating all of this stuff. If some people volunteer to administrate the instance it would probably be good to have a place where communication about that can happen, and it would also be good to have somewhere to communicate when the instance is down (the Mastodon account would maybe work for that, but I think it would work better for updates about server status than for discussion).
Also, I would love to help as a sysadmin. I don't have that much experience with server hosting (I have run a Minecraft server for some people before on a dedicated computer running Linux and hosted some things on Raspberry Pis, but that is it), and I don't have too much time to do it (I can't really have any responsibilities to manage something), but I could help some with troubleshooting difficult issues and stuff (I have quite a bit of experience with using Linux and troubleshooting weird problems with various software).

Unlike Reddit, on Lemmy you can edit post titles, so you can fix this error.

Fireship – The shocking decline of Stack Overflow [satire]
Reply in thread
I haven't used Stack Overflow in a while so I forgot about most of those features, and as long as it also uses ActivityPub it doesn't really matter that much if it is a different platform. I think some of those features could even be useful on Lemmy (tagging posts would be nice and maybe community-editable posts could be a thing that communities could choose to enable).

It would be nice to also have it on F-Droid.

How to stretch an image to correct for perspective and lens distortion?
Reply in thread
I finally got around to doing this, and that worked fine.

Is numlock key actually useful?
I think it is still is useful, as some software still hasn't figured out how to turn on numlock automatically, and for a few applications number pad scrolling can be better than the arrow keys, but it is probably less useful than the scroll lock key at this point.

AI Image Upscaler - upscayl 2.5.5
I wanted to implement the pics into the post via
But it was not working for the upscayl version, sorry.
I just had to copy the link that the Download original image button pointed to and remove the ?dl=1 from the end, and that gave me this URL which points to the image and can be embedded in the post.

Lemmy could be that, just have programming (and other) Q&A communities here.

If you format the link as [email protected] it will be a clickable link (in this case it would be ![email protected]).

Wine can be difficult to get working right (I have tried to use Wine for a few things before and I also had issues with it that I couldn't solve), so it doesn't surprise me that it doesn't work right for you. It is a miracle that they can get any apps to run on a completely different operating system, and audio software tends to be very complicated and often depends on system APIs.

Issue with Federation - Viewing a Community
Reply in thread
Now it appears to be working for me too, so it probably just took a while to become accessible through federation (it was only created a few days ago).

Issue with Federation - Appointing as a Moderator
Reply in thread
It appears to be working now. I think it is similar to how it took a few days for the community to become federated at all (I could not access it from lemmy.studio for a little while after I created it).

Downtime today
I was just wondering when you would update to 0.18! It turns out the client Jerboa requires version 0.18, so I was just about to post asking when you were planning to update as it seems to be a pretty nice client. I should also be able to finally set up 2FA, which I have been wanting to do for a while.

Voyager: The road to v1 and app icon redesign contest!
Reply in thread
If you start to type @username@server in the default Lemmy web app it will give a list of users that roughly match what you typed, and if you choose one it will just add a link, so I think that that is actually the correct way to do it.

is wefwef only ment to be web app or will it be released as an app?
Reply in thread
I have known about PWAs for a while, and it always has annoyed me just how many apps I have that could be PWAs instead. I think apps can be tracked to a greater degree than websites, so, at least for closed-source stuff made by companies, native apps give more data they can use and sell.

Server Issues
Reply in thread
For some reason CPU was randomly spiking at 100%
That would explain the issues!
I just finished upgrading to the latest release (0.18.3), which has a lot of performance improvements.
I figured Lemmy would improve performance over time, so I was wondering how much it would help to update.
(0.18.2 also added some CORS stuff which makes third party web apps work better, so I was eagerly awaiting this update similarly to 0.18)

the latest release (0.18.3) ... has a lot of performance improvements.
It seems to be performing much better now. I use a userscript that replaces Lemmy links with ones to your instance, and for posts it used to take a few seconds (maybe ~5 seconds, I don't really remember) to load the new links (it has to ping the instance to find the correct link for posts, as the post ID is different across different instances) and now it only takes a second or two to do so.
