Federation between Onion and Standard Domains that way tor users would not be isolated
This is the hardest part as you would need to be both have an onion and have a standard domain, or be a tor-only Federation.
You can easily create a server and allow tor users to use it, which unless a Lemmy server actively blocks tor, you’d be welcome to join via it. But federation from a clearnet to onion cannot happen. It’s the same reason behind why email hasn’t taken off in onionland. The only way email happens is when the providers actively re-map a cleanet domain to an onion domain.
This is what Lemmy would need to do. But then you would have people who could signup continuously over tor and reek havok on the fediverse with no real stopping them. You would then have onion users creating content that would be federated out to other instances. & User generated content from tor users also is … Not portrayed in the best light.
I’m sure someone will eventually create an onion Lemmy instance, but it has it’s own problems to deal with.
This is especially true for lack of moderation tools, automated processes, and spammers who already are getting through the cracks.
I can confirm the sections around downvotes as Reddthat has the stance exact what you are talking about (re your child comments)
A downvote disabled instance creates it’s own algorithm/feed/ranking based purely on all other metrics, because as far as the data is concerned, it sees every post having 0 downvotes. It does not take into account external instances.
I can answer the first point.
We’ve already tackled part of that problem with the Parallel Sending feature that can be enabled on instances with a tremendous amount of traffic. Currently the only instance that makes sense to enable that is LemmyWorld and the only reason is so servers in geographical far away can get more than 3-4 activities/second.With that feature, servers that eventually house and generate the biggest amounts of traffic will be able to successfully communicate all of those activities to everyone else who needs them.
I predict a 10x increase is well in our grasp of easily accessible by all of our current systems. 1000x? That’s a different story which I don’t have the answers too.

Tiff@reddthat.comto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•About updating Lemmy & explanation of recent federation issues with lemmy.ml13·7 months agoThank you for the update and it’s good to hear your upcoming plans. Being one of those people in Australia (Reddthat) it will be good to see if it actually works as it’s designed too!
I’d love to save $7/m to not have a server dedicated to batching the federation traffic 😅When you lay out the timelines for 0.19.3 onwards no time at all has gone by, and having to deal with the issues after .3 has certainly not been fun as an admin. (And I’m only a small server compared!)
Being such a huge player in our Lemmyverse, thanks for taking the time to plan this out as I know how much testing has been done to get us this far.It’s always a nice experience chatting to the LW team!
Hope your updates go smoothly!

Tiff@reddthat.comto Announcements@lemmy.ml•Lemmy Development Update 2024-09-20English15·10 months agoThis is sso support as the client. So you could use any backend that supports the oauth backend (I assume, didn’t look at it yet).
So you could use a forgejo instance, immediately making your git hosting instance a social platform, if you wanted.
Or use something as self hostable like hydra.Or you can use the social platforms that already exist such as Google or Microsoft. Allowing faster onboarding to joining the fediverse. While allowing the issues that come with user creation to be passed onto a bigger player who already does verification. All of these features are up for your instance to decide on.
The best part, if you don’t agree with what your instance decides on, you can migrate to one that has a policy that coincides with your values.Hope that gives you an idea behind why this feature is warranted.

Export, remove pg15, install pg16, import. I think you can streamline with both installed at once as they correctly version. You could also use the in place upgrade. Aptly named:

But updating to 0.19.4, you do not need to go to pg16… but… you should, because of the benefits!
Tiff@reddthat.comto Memes @ Reddthat@reddthat.com•When someone tries to downvote me on Reddthat61·1 year agoThe downvotes you can see (on this post) are from accounts on your instance then. As this post is semi inflammatory it is highly likely to have garnered some downvotes.Edit: I guess I was wrong regarding the logic of how downvotes work when we block them. As the http request (used too?) return an error when responding to a downvote. I’ll have to look at it again. As the only way it was/is 15, is if:
- we kept track of downvotes and sent out the activities notification
- your instance got the notifications from other instances about our post, (which is not how Lemmy works unless I’m seriously misunderstanding it.)
Looks easy : https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+SSD+Replacement/148989
Edit: Is it worth 30-60minutes of your time, the screwdrivers, maybe the spatchula, and reinstalling steamOS onto the drive?
