for MMOs there’s [email protected] but it’s not very active

yea my complaint isn’t mainly about the aspect ratio, moreso the prevalence, and the sources these videos are pulled from (TikTok mostly)

you’re right Reddit has too many short videos and gifs, mostly in portrait aspect ratios lol

it should just be based on your system clock

what frontend/app/ui are you using? just https://lemmy.ca/ ? what place in the UI is showing incorrect timezone?

maybe reboot your device to be sure? I’ve seen Chrome on Android not correctly fix my timezone when I cross timezones until rebooting

It would be interesting to see someone spin up an instance, no signups, just Lemmy-Federate. Check how much resources it uses up.

But for an instance that already has a lot of users it’s going to be a drop in the bucket. Any large communities probably already have a real user following them, and any small communities won’t have enough activity to cause significant load anyways.

Oh that’s my bad for not reading the whole thing lol

Edit: I should’ve tried reading

lemmy.ca hosts those frontends themselves, so it’s direct to lemmy.ca

it’s also possible to use these frontends externally but you don’t need to do that

Boost, Connect, and Sync also do it well

there’s an open feature request for this

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1648

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2951

payment

lol

sorry, but there’s not much money being passed around here…

I think writing these things may not be as easy as it seems, or the good writers just aren’t volunteering. Anyone is welcome to take a shot at it as the docs are open source on Github, make some pull requests!

But you’re right, motivated users will make it work. People who are just pretending to take a moral stand against Reddit will continue to complain and think up new excuses and questions without ever moving

Some day LW will enable parallel sending lol, hopefully soon. I’m really curious how much it will help.

I never know what to do with these lol

it actually has quite a few upvotes too

It’s definitely a concern. People ask these questions about Lemmy, but no one asks how the horizontal scaling of Twitter functions and then complains that your explanation is too technical.

For like 99% of Reddit accounts, that’s all they do anyways lol
