Its an issue with outbound federation, we’re working on a fix.

Just what’s on the readme guide. If you’re in english, I’d just recommend using the default layout and settings for ~3 days, that seems to be the time to get used to it. Or practice on monkeytype.com

It really just exports user-settings related data to a new account, so things like bio, followed communities, saved posts, etc. It can’t be used to impersonate you.

Yes it did, I have a fix out for it now: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4297

You def should… open up an issue on the github with how to create if you would.

Thx! Ya its sad that torrents have effectively solved the static data distribution problem, but we still don’t have user-friendly ways to access them via browsers. We’ve got tons of pictures, video, music, and other large files still being mainly hosted on centralized platforms like youtube and spotify, fully under their control. Its a sad state of affairs.

Have you considered surveying stakeholders (primarily the userbase) about features and strategy?

We sometimes use the github Sort by thumbs up to find the most-wanted issues, and bug fixing is always necessary… but part of being open-source means that it should be fun, and its nice to be able to pick issues we feel motivated to work on. If we didn’t have that, we’d get burnt out pretty fast.

Thx! I’d also like to do more frequent releases, and would especially like a monthly / regular release schedule. It gets difficult for network services like this one, where we have a lot of apps speaking the same language, and then we need to change or remove a bunch of words (IE breaking changes). So this one was mainly pushed back due to the large number of breaking changes, with us wanting to get them all into one release. Otherwise devs would be tearing their hair out every other week accounting for yet another breaking change.

Once the API stabilizes and reaches a 1.0 status, breaking changes should be far less frequent, and more frequent releases should be doable.

Here’s our donate page also: https://join-lemmy.org/donate

Liberapay is preferred, as they’re open source, don’t take a cut, and are funded by their own model.

You have the best profile banner I’ve ever seen btw.

No probs, and thx for your support! I’m glad when anyone finds the things I work on useful.

We still have far to go privacy-wise, but finally there’s FOSS alternatives for nearly every major app and comms platform. IMO the next big one that still needs to be tackled is youtube, and lemmy could have a part to play there.

Thx!

Speedily trying to get things merged and more release candidates out… sry its taking longer than expected.

The auth method has changed. Check the posts stickied to !lemmy@lemmy.ml

We have a PR fix for that out.

We’ve got that one fixed now.

That’s definitey a bug, could you open up an issue on lemmy-ui?

Thx! It turned out to be a lot more than we expected 😭

We have a PR fix for that out now.
