v1 excites me! As someone who has been using Lemmy since v0.17.0, I must say that Lemmy has improved tremendously.

You’re welcome. You have probably checked it by mistake. It is a bit confusing as there are about 10 checkboxes in the settings :)

You have checked “bot account” in your account settings.

Happy if I gave an idea.

I just do query DNS records and fetch nodeinfo. Shouldn’t that be enough?

After verifying that the user is admin, will you continue to send PM code when logging in? If so, then software without a message receiving mechanism will still not be able to use Fediseer.

I suggest you consider the way I did it in Lemmy Federate. I create a private/public key pair and ask admins to add the public key as a TXT record. If the private key entered while logging in matches the public key in DNS, admin can log in.

This way it is not necessary to query the user with webfinger and send a message. You also avoid the hassle of distinguishing between different messaging structures in the Fediverse.

It’s good to see an auth library with built-in OIDC server. Thanks for the post I’ll check.

It’s cool but without legacy support, there’s no way mainstream attention. Do what Tutanota does, encrypt whenever possible.

This depends on the instance of the video being used. Some instances clone a copy of the video, some use proxies, and some send the link directly to the user. I don’t recommend it if you have limited bandwidth.

Agreed. This is not YC news.

Beauty of fediverse. An instance with thousands of users and posts goes down, fediverse still lives.

You were waiting for this one for a month, aren’t you? :)

I’ve been waiting for this thanks 🙏

Yeah that would work. I also recommend you to check Lemmy Federate.

Allow list is explicit. If you allow at least one instance, all others will be blocked. You only allowed the following instances:

• lemmy.world
• sh.itjust.works
• beehaw.org
• programming.dev

You can also search “fep-ef61”

Better proposal: portable objects.

That’s why I said “IIRC” because I don’t remember either 🙂

IIRC WebTorrent support is removed. Is torrenting completely off the table?

My instance has 82GB of DB size. It is almost two years old. I think you’re overestimating.

I’m glad you added lemmy.ml 🙏 Yes, you just need to create a bot account and add it. Communities are added/updated periodically.
