Reddit now says it will allow free API access for developers of accessibility apps
I would describe Apollo as an accessibility app in the sense that the regular Reddit app is unusable.

PSA: How to link users & communities so it doesn't break for other instances
The only problem is that if your instance doesn't know about that community yet, it'll just 404, you still have to search for it first because visiting the link doesn't make your instance fetch the community yet.
This should still be the default behavior when it autofills a community link though, I hope they make this change 👍

Developer of RedReader (a reddit app with 100k downloads on play store) is considering porting it to Lemmy or Mastodon
Working link: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedReader/comments/13ylk42/update_3_reddit_effectively_kills_off_third_party/ Also,
The Apollo dev (/u/iamthatis) estimated that the new pricing would cost him $20m per year. I raised this with Reddit -- they said that his calculations were "totally wrong", but they were unable to discuss why. Given that the Apollo dev literally just multiplied the cost by the number of requests, I have trouble seeing how this could be wrong.
lol

So, what do you think about Lemmy/kbin so far?
Lots of people here with the opposite opinion of me, which is that I like the website and not the mobile apps, but overall yeah I'm pretty convinced this format is probably the best poised alternative to replace Reddit for a lot of people. Maybe not everybody, but I am willing to "settle" for quality over quantity ;)

You're hypocrites
Anyways, be constructive in the future, or leave.

My guess is that Reddit is alluding to the stupid suggestion of "just make your app more efficient with requests bro" (paraphrasing) that I saw an admin make. Reddit's already said they're not open to negotiations.

4 core AMD, 8GB RAM. Memory usage usually hovers around 1.5GB, load average around 0.6, so... Not sure what is going on over at lemmy.world lol

How much does it bother you that OpenAI is trained on your data? What can we do about it?
The biggest problem to me is what I just saw you post in another reply, that these models built upon our knowledge exist almost solely within proprietary ecosystems.
and maybe even our Mastodon or Lemmy posts!
The Washington Post published a great piece which allows you to search which websites were included in the "C4" dataset published in 2019. I searched for my personal blog jonaharagon.com and sure enough it was included, and the C4 dataset is practically minuscule compared to what is being compiled for larger models like ChatGPT. If my tiny website was included, Mastodon and Lemmy posts (which are actually very visible and SEO optimized tbh) are 100% being scraped as well, there's no maybe about it.

Why are there automatically banned users on my instance?
It seems like if a user gets banned on their own instance, they show up on this list for everyone (I also see them on my ban list here), so unbanning them on your end probably does nothing.
Seems like just a bug, I think this list should only show local users who are banned, and instead it shows every ban it knows about across the fediverse.

Yes, you will have to be sure to join an instance aligned with your values on moderation.

I disagree, but it sounds like lemm.ee will be a better fit for you, and that's the beauty of the fediverse 👍

Hi @[email protected]~ I'm the admin of lemmy.one (I know you also messaged me on Reddit). The specs for this server are roughly double the specs of lemmy.ml's server, except we're ~10x smaller than lemmy.ml at the moment, so we have lots of room for growth. I run mstdn.party which is one of the top 40 largest Mastodon servers according to the-federation.info, and I'm prepared to scale this community as well. If you want your community hosted on this instance, I'm happy to get that set up for you, we can talk further on Reddit.
If you're considering running your own Lemmy server instead, it is not particularly resource-intensive, I would imagine you could host up to ~1000 monthly active users on a server that costs no more than $30/month. I'm happy to invite you to some Lemmy admin communities who can provide assistance as well if you're interested in going that route.

Is Lemmy cross compatible with Kbin?
Reply in thread
This is why I encourage individual people to try out Kbin if they like the design or project better or whatever, but Lemmy was the only choice for me to host a community like [email protected] on, and I encourage other community mods to use Lemmy as well. Community federation and community moderation in general is simply far more mature on Lemmy at the moment. I’m very glad that I can host a community on Lemmy and Kbin users can still access it though :)

lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead

How/which URL should we link to then?
My (somewhat) hot take is that large migrating subreddits should probably host their own communities, which is what we did when we told people on r/PrivacyGuides to move to Lemmy. Or at the very least, actually coordinate with instance admins beforehand about all of this, clearly lemmy.ml isn't the ideal choice for this situation.

Gigabyte's response to poorly made GPUs is informative and unfortunate
I love that "informative and unfortunate" is now a running gag on the channel lol

Looking for cool communities?

I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it's unusable mobile view. You'll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I'll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they're feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.

Ko-fi hype? No liberapay?
Is it because of fees or a one time tip jar feature?
Both. Thanks for your support! I should check out Liberapay again though.

What are the actual privacy implications of using a fitness tracker with mostly pseudonymous information?
When doing an outdoor activity, I would allow my precise location on a run.
It is well-known now that anonymizing location data still does not preserve privacy: https://iapp.org/news/a/getting-lost-in-the-crowd-the-limits-of-privacy-in-location-data-2/
