Any slowness should be gone by now, I haven’t seen the JSON thing happen to me yet, but I’ll look into it. Next time it happens to you can you DM me a screenshot?

Greetings, fellow space explorers! As we continue our journey through the vast expanse of the cosmos, let us take a moment to reflect on the various governments depicted in the Star Trek franchise. From the classic monarchy system of TOS, to the anarchist government of TAS, these series serve as powerful metaphors for the...
I banned the account from the instance and alerted its instance Admin. Lemmy makes it very easy for bot accounts to self-identify and this one wasn’t which makes it more suspicious. But what is its goal? Karma farming??
Is the darkspace theme something that comes packaged with Lemmy or something the server admins are throwing together? I love where it’s going but its in need of some love… there’s nothing to make the posts readable against the background....
I installed some community made themes (like darkspace) just to play around and give users some options, but yeeeah… none of them are very good. Thankfully the admin team knows a bit of CSS from their redditing days so a theme improvement is definitely on the to do list.
If anyone wants to have a go at making one, be my guest, I’d be happy to add it to the options.
Special thank you to their admin Guinan for allowing us to set up. TenForward.social has been operational since 2017, so they should prove a reliable home.
True, but following the instance directly can be a bit of a firehose of information since you get ALL posts and comments. We wanted to have a place to alert for scheduled maintenance, events, and stuff like that.
We are aware images aren’t loading and new images can't be uploaded. It appears to be a bug with the latest Lemmy update as we’re not the only instance with this problem. We have filed a bug report and are looking into possible solutions and hopefully it will get fixed soon. We are also looking into better ways to...
That depends! You can run an instance on an old PC for just yourself and some friends for next to nothing, but a bigger instance with lots of traffic can easily climb to hundreds per month or more. No idea where we’ll end up when things slow down, but the subreddits this server represent currently have more users than the entire Lemmy-verse 😅
That's a good point I hadn't considered, appreciate the insight. As long as we can pay the bills with what comes in, I suppose for now we'll just stick with what we've got.
Your definition of “old pc” is much nicer than mine. No we’re not there yet! But likely within the next few months. Lemmy.world recently made this post which you may find educational.
The only perk we had in mind thus far was some user flair (whenever that inevitably gets invented). But you make a great point. Still getting used to this egalitarian perspective.
We haven't been able to replicate this. Have tried this recently? Or is it an error from a few weeks ago? I ask because we had a brief issue that gave a similar error but has since been fixed.
We’re aware of the pact and will cross that bridge when (or if) it ever really happens. We’re certainly no fans of Meta (or Reddit,or Twitter). So far it seems more likely to affect Mastodon than Lemmy/Kbin.
The “user data” (comments, posts, votes, etc) that would be available to a hypothetical instance owned my Meta is already public for anyone, so not much we have control over there. “Defederating” essentially just means “blanket banning” a bunch of users at once.
True, but if Meta (or anyone) wanted to “directly” get that data, it would be as trivial as setting up an instance on something as small as a Raspberry Pi and subscribing to a community here. We would have no way of knowing who it is or stopping them. Defederation is a tool to prevent brigading, not lurking.
If (if) Meta wanted to set a lemmy-style platform, preemptively defederating from it would be a largely symbolic gesture. Doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing, like I said we’ll cross that bridge if and when it becomes relevant.
OH, yes. vger.app is a web app (aka forntend), not a theme. It’s also not “Voyager” (the show) themed per-se, I believe it’s based off of the old Reddit app Apollo.
