Timeline not changing frequently?

This is an issue that the dev team is actively working on and (I believe) it'll be a part of the 0.18.0 release.

There's a hacky workaround some admins in the matrix chat implemented @[email protected] -- set a cron job to restart your lemmy back-end every hour or so. Not sure what the impact would be on a bigger instance like this but the restart only take a few seconds on my smaller one and it keeps my feeds fresh.

Looking for cool communities?

Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We've got communities for all the major sports and their teams.

I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I'm working out but I've begun rolling them out to the teams' communities, starting with the baseball communities.

Check out:

And all the teams-specific communities!

I want old.lemmy.ml, I'm not joking.

I'm pretty sure you can create your own bootstrap theme. If someone makes an old.reddit theme for Lemmy I'll add it to my instance.

PSA: you can choose your default theme in your profile settings. I'm pretty sure the themes available are determined by your home instance's options

what would Reddit need to do to get you to go back

I agree with most of the other posters, I'm done with reddit. I want the community but I don't want the corporation. It's not that I find admins who run lemmy instances more trustworthy by default, but the decentralized nature make me think it can be more resilient and altogether a better experience.

Boy do I wish we had RIF for lemmy though 😞

Update: All baseball communities should have a game bot now!! 🎉

Please let me know if your community is missing its bot or you want to change the configuration or you want to start running it yourself.
