IIRC the join page is largely automated and simply scrapes active but “small” instances, other than instances that have been asked to be removed from it due to load issues (such as lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc). The devs probably don’t even know its up there. Hopefully this gets their attention.

I’m going to preemptively warn my admins about them and ask for defederation though. Don’t need that shit creeping in.

Troll = BUSTED LMAO

Block the lemmit.online and irradiated bots that just spam reddit links, as well as basically every community from lemmit.online Then add reddit to your uBlock lists so any accidental direct links just get blackholed. Bam, reddit is gone from your life.

That’s all Reddit was when it started too- a link aggregator Digg side-site.

Let natural growth run its course, and curate your communities better to see less Reddit content. I spent an afternoon discovering communities thst weren’t built on reposts and see quite a decent amount of original content, and actively hide all the reddit-linked content.

They will not ever be blocking Reddit content because that will be the early death of this platform. Besides, devs choosing to hard block sites in the back end is a horrible, horrible precedent. Learn to deal with it.

Disney Corporation lawyers would like to know your location

You can downvote from your instance and the UI will “show” it, but the votes will not be counted on the originating instance with downvotes disabled.

Magic of activitypub!

It’s an injection vulnerability that some dirty folk found and needs to get patched out. It was inevitable with the sudden user increase.

Yeah, better embed support would go a long way to keeping the load off Lemmy but still supporting additional content. On Desktop it’s not a big deal to just shift-click videos into a new tab, but on mobile it’s slow and I usually lose my spot when I leave the lemmy tab… I’m sure they’ll get to it soon enough.

I’m going to guess no. Video would exponentially increase the bandwidth and data storage requirements of instances when these instances already can barely handle their user load and static images being uploaded.

Use an external hosting service as much as you can. Linking directly to something actually designed to distribute the load, like PeerTube, is vastly more efficient than expecting Lemmy instances to handle it.

I feel as if somehow claiming ownership of user content in the EULA in a way that would be DMCA enforceable would also be antithetical to the tenets of open source software.
