I hate reddit. But it feels like the library of Alexandria burning down (yea I know). All those google search results and educational subreddits that are shutting down forever, and because they are too small reddit won't force open them again.
A lot are in the pushshift archive, but that cuts of at 2022. Also, it doesn't include a lot of the smaller subreddits.
I have had my PC running 24/7 with multiple VPNs to avoid rate limits downloading as much as I can before the API dies, but with some blackouts moving forward a day I have already missed a few.
Like many others, I would often add "reddit" to the end of my searches to get better results, half the websites on web searches now are either AI generated, copies or are completely AD ridden websites that ask you to turn off your AD blocker.

If they go the lemmy route I hope they setup a new instance. It would be great to have another big lemmy instance to make it more distributed. Also i think the influx of users would not be good for lemmy.ml

fuck /u/spez

Can you not see if you are posting on a lemmy instance from kbin? I've seen a lot of kbin users referring to kbin while posting on lemmy intances.

It would be pretty easy to make a copypasta bot for lemmy but I think it would just be annoying. I don't think PetrosianBot is too annoying because it only respones to a couple of triggers, but I think many copypastas would get annoying quick.

This is wrong, I use IPTables but the device is absolutely not dedicated lol.

lemmy hug of death lol

Nah, I can't see any reason to make more than one account.

It's only been a few minutes but I'm seeing non timing out federation in my nginx access log. Hopefully it keeps working.
Also at least on my instance, lemmy.ml has completely broken, I'm not getting anything from it at all anymore. it dropped out at 13:52:22 and besides a couple few messages it's been silence since then. It seems to be working on lemmy.world so I'm not sure what's causing that.

At some point the chess board is going to stop looking like a chess board. I think this will be the comment that does it.

already too late for me. I've been waiting for a reason to leave.

what if it beats the EA comment lol

Related, What about a personal instance only I use? I can choose what communities I want but I can't control what is posted on those communities. Someone could post something illegal to a beehaw community (and have) and the mods remove it, but does the deletion of images and posts federate? In know matrix keeps copies of every deleted file in a room on all homeservers, what about lemmy?

mod reply, please ignore

there is a UK lemmy instance now: https://lemmy.org.uk

The image is on my own website. The proxy passes the header though and nginx rewrites the URI.
The link is https://i3b.co/unwave.png

One nice thing is you can always access lemmy as long as your server is up. lemmy.ml has been down a bit recently and although never for too long, I can access all the posts and comments that have already been made on the lemmy.ml communities I'm subscribed to and also other instances, like beehaw.org. And I don't know how much of an issue this is now, but if lemmy.ml gets an image upload size limit, if you host your own instance you can upload as big images as you want (there's a bit of a bug with that but still).

Looks like if you try to login you get a message telling you the deny reason
