What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
  • Why wouldn't you want your home media server software running on the server that's in charge of storing your media?

    There are many reasons to do so, such as wanting to use GPU acceleration or a better CPU than what your NAS or SAN has to offer.

  • Is there a way to hide your activity?
  • Posts in this community should be directly related to sh.itjust.works, not just Lemmy in general. With that being said, I think that the question has been answered thoroughly by the folks here.

  • Outage today around 9pm - what happened?
  • Some maintenance done by @[email protected] caused issues. If you're interested to find out more you can join us on #sh.itjust.works:matrix.org via Matrix. Long story short; the site image was preventing lemmy-ui from restarting after doing basic maintenance.

  • Has anyone else been getting a lot more errors on sh.itjust.works recently? Could the server be overloaded?
  • A lot of bots were spamming the instance which was causing an IO bottleneck, and thus timeout issues. We're looking into solutions to limit their impact, such as rate-limiting users. We're trying to do it in such a way that it doesn't impact regular users which is why it's taking a bit longer.

  • How do we report spam communities?
  • The majority of these communities were cleaned up by @[email protected] tonight but if you spot any more you can DM him or also raise the issue on the Matrix chat that we have here.

    We're also working on implementing rate-limiting on our instance so these changes should make sh.itjust.works much less attractive to spammers.

  • Why was lemmygrad blocked?
  • Keep in mind that these are the early days of Lemmy and the admin is donating time and resources to get this community going. Getting the configs published publicly so that people can make informed choices about which instance they wish to use would certainly be nice, but comparing this to Reddit is a bit far-fetched. TheDude is trying to sustain the community as best as he can, whereas Reddit has been suffocating the community in exchange for corporate profits.
