I recently submitted a PR for stopping pictrs image federation. IMO the images themselves do not need to be downloaded when served by another pictrs instance. This would reduce the amount of diskspace and reduce the burden of hosting images that are unwanted by the instance owners.
What are your thoughts on this, and do you think this will be merged? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3799
Since the release of Sync for Lemmy, some servers (like Lemmy.world for example) are down quite often, probably because of a huge influx of users. Will something be done about the big increase in down-time across Lemmy servers, and if so, how will that problem be dealt with in the near and far future?
Thank you.
First of all, thanks for the great work!
How's the onboarding of the new contributors going? I assume suddenly getting a huge influx of eager contributors might create a lot of fun "problems" that software developers don't usually get in their day jobs.
Related to that, besides the contributor docs on join-lemmy, is there any recommended reading before getting down to work on starting to contribute (already made or in the works)? I've been looking into helping out and getting better at Rust in the process.
A bit late on this, but when can we expect the new rewrite of Lemmy's UI? It seems like a big task.
Where did the Lemmy name originated from? How long was the development of Lemmy?
I would love a way to optionally post a location while choosing specificity, i.e. United Kingdom vs Newcastle etc. That way I can filter communities and posts to just those in a location I like.
I think it could lead to some really cool interactions and ways of looking for things.
