Huh? It’s just greedy owners. Don’t overthink it
This John Hussman, the guy that continually predicted a crash during the strongest bull run in stock market history?
2010: “Investors dangerously underestimate the risk of an abrupt and possibly severe equity market plunge.”
2011: “the expected return/risk profile of the stock market has shifted to hard-negative.”
2012: “The present menu of investment opportunities continues to be among the worst in history.”
2013: “stock returns prospectively are very low.”
2014: “What concerns us beyond valuations is the full ensemble of overvalued, overbought, overbullish conditions.”
2015: “Exit now.”
2016: “current extremes imply 40-55 percent market losses…. These are not worst-case scenarios, but run-of-the-mill expectations.” 2017: “the most broadly overvalued moment in market history.”
2018: “The music is fading out, and a trap-door has opened up in the floor, but they’re still dancing.”
2019: “a projected 50-65 percent market loss over the completion of this cycle is actually somewhat optimistic.”

Can you link to a process for purging bot accounts?
Upgraded to 0.18.2! Apologies for the downtime
To start -- apologies for the extended downtime. I ran into several issues with the server, but was finally able to get it back up, and upgraded on the newest release of Lemmy. Thank you to everyone for the patience while I worked through it!
I've been working on some major updates related to Wirebase. I'll come back in the next day with an announcement.
Which community are you attempting to add?
Sensationalist headline? What are you talking about
This is super helpful, thanks! I’m also in the market for one of these 3.
My fiancé and I really enjoy Space Realms, and we’ve played a decent amount of Dominion. She isn’t into games with large setup/tear down, and we have a 1 year old which makes finding time challenging.
Which of the three do you think we should consider?
I absolutely love pho, but when I went to Vietnam I ate Bun Cha constantly. Soooo good.
Thanks. Any chance you could share a link so I know what to look for?
How do I avoid these?
This is the only correct answer if you are right handed, as it is the most efficient to easily look at your phone screen.
Take a look at this how-to post! The bottom sections are focused on adding communities: https://wirebase.org/post/3019
TL;DR: you have to search by URL the first time you add a community. After doing that once, it will appear on Wirebase permanently!
I also noticed this when I was living in LATAM. Many coworkers and toothbrushes at work and would brush right after lunch.

Let me know if you are still having trouble with this. Happy to create it for you!
Collaborate on Fedi-hosting - looking for others to team up with
I'm looking for others who could be interested in collaborating on hosting Fediverse platforms and tooling, including Lemmy.
The main incentive for this is to build out infrastructure that is super reliable -- highly available, geo-diverse, monitoring, best practices, etc, and to have fun doing it with a group of people rather than solo.
We can help contribute towards the shift that is happening from centralized/corporate-owned to decentralized/non-profit. Some of the biggest barriers for services like Mastodon and Lemmy are related to performance, reliability, confusing onboarding, etc. By grouping up we can help improve on these, innovate on tooling and systems that are service-adjacent, and have fun doing it.
Shoot me a PM if interested!
Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Since posting, many people have responded or reached out directly with interest in getting involved.
We have set up Matrix.org channels. You can join here: https://matrix.to/#/#fedicollective:matrix.org
How to get involved in new initiatives for Lemmy
Hi all. Very happy to see Lemmy’s success so far. I’m interested in contributing to Lemmy’s growth.
At this stage, the engineering team should consider bringing some additional public-facing structure, such as:
1. Published roadmap 2. Performance metrics and reporting 3. Community outreach - keeping user base in the loop on roadmap, launches, metrics, growing pains
Lemmy will continue to grow regardless, however bringing some structure will onboard new users faster and add trust to Lemmy’s image. Trust factor is important - Reddit refugees are evaluating alternatives to Reddit, and are ultimately choosing off relatively little information.
What is the best way to get involved in new initiatives for Lemmy? I have experience with this type of work (engineering manager at a large tech company), focused on building teams, product roadmaps, and continually improving customer experiences through engineering.
It actually happened.
Two new maps, more work towards replicating CS:GO movement, and a variety of bugfixes arrived in the latest update.
Utility to update DNS dynamically (like ddclient)
Any docker recommendations for a utility that can update DNS, based on current external IP?
I've used ddclient in the past, but it seems like its not working anymore, oddly.

Email Verification and Password Resets added to Wirebase
Small update tonight.
I provisioned email for Wirebase, which will now unblock a couple features:
- Password resets are now possible through Settings
- New sign-ups will require email verification (this wasn’t possible before)
Wirebase Matrix Chat is live
A Matrix server was spun up to chat about Wirebase usability, issues, and for general discussion. Matrix is a federated live chat platform. You can learn more about it at matrix.org.
