are you using a mobile app or just the lemmy.world website?

I dont know what Instance I am

you are on lemmy.world

but am being asked for a instance

it sounds like you were trying to Subscribe without being logged in

so I’m guessing you have your login in an app instead of the website and then you opened the community in your web browser instead of in the app which already had your login

the link I provided should work in your app or wherever you’re commenting from

Lemmy supports local-only private communities now, might be a good use case for that

we all know there’s currently only 1 chick in the fediverse

Lance’s quote at the end of the article is so good lol, really cool that Mastodon has lived longer than Google+ already!

They already did, in 0.19.11

Dont render images in private message (#3043)

Kinda like https://quiblr.com/understanding_your_private_personalized_feed

But for Peertube instead of Lemmy? Sounds cool, I think Peertube needs it way more than Lemmy does

2026 or 2025? I thought it was 2025

I can’t believe it took them this long lol. There’s like millions of whatever latest Samsung Galaxy phone, running that compilation locally millions of times is just a waste of global compute power and everyone’s time, run it once in the cloud and cache it.

• An Android Authority app teardown has revealed that Google is working on an inactivity reboot feature.
• This security feature would reboot devices if they’ve been locked for three consecutive days.

Pretty cool, three days is kinda long for someone’s primary phone though, I wonder if they’ll let you reduce that to 24 hours or something

What’s missing from Lemmy that would make it unattractive to the average user?

I don’t think it’s always easy to pinpoint UX issues and user friction. Sometimes these things just don’t stick with mainstream users. I say it’s worth a try to see which platform the average Reddit user will prefer.

But if you’re gonna use from a phone, Lemmy’s selection of mobile apps is unbeatable.

The rate of growth does matter yea. If an instance gets worried, they can lock signups. Slow growth means the software has time to improve as they notice issues.

Lemmy had many issues scaling before, except Lemmy had huge surges with the Reddit API blackouts.

If people start recommending PieFed now, it’s on their own terms instead of a massive wave. They can backoff if they get too many users.

I think it’s unlikely that they would attract such a large number of users with 1 post on r/RedditAlternatives or something. Lemmy gets spammed everywhere and we usually don’t even gain 1000 users a day overall across all instances.

There’s already been some comments about PieFed and they didn’t result in huge surges.

We have data on what it costs to run a sizeable instance of Lemmy and it’s not a lot. How does Piefed compare? Anyone starting an instance who envisions it growing large has to contend with this question.

I don’t think this is a major concern yet. The largest PieFed instance has 308 active users, 2nd place has 34. They’ve got room to grow.

People can start posting about PieFed on Reddit and see how the Reddit users react.

Does it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user?

Not really lol, but if you think it will be fun then go for it

I missed it live and I was curious, here’s the trailer
