Oooh, that's a good feature request but not something we could easily do.

[–] Shadow 7 points 1 week ago

I promise to take a look a Friendica after we get Pixelfed up =)

If it's all in docker, you probably need the docker container name as the target host. Assuming your docker network isn't in host mode.

Pixelfed soon. We have a domain registered and I've started provisioning the infra.

Friendica isn't on our todo list yet, not sure if it will be or not since none of us are regular Facebook users.

Edit: Enough people are asking about friendica that I promise to investigate more after pixelfed is up.

Check out Serpa design on YouTube, he has a lot of great micro builds.

I'd keep it simple and do no fish, just shrimp + snails + a couple crabs + live plants.

I think that might introduce concerns around a client presenting modified info vs what everyone else would see. I'd imagine Facebook / discord and everyone else that generates link previews, struggle with this problem.

Unfortunately not

Huh, weird..... I don't think this is solvable on our side, this is thetyee's cloudflare rules blocking us.

No, I want to start exposing a grafana instance but for now I'm keeping this internal since it hits our live postgres.

The query if you want it is:

SELECT
  DATE(published AT TIME ZONE 'UTC') AS date,
  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'lemmy.ca')) AS lemmy_ca,
  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'sh.itjust.works')) AS sh_itjust_works,
  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'lemmy.world')) AS lemmy_world,
  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'lemmy.dbzer0.com')) AS dbzer0,
  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE instance_id IN (SELECT id FROM instance WHERE domain = 'jlai.lu')) AS jlai_lu,
  count(*) as all_lemmy
FROM person
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;

Or here's your instance overlayed with us to provide a comparison:

Not usually. Can you dm me the account name or email and I'll look later tonight?

I did some playing around with grafana. This data is all just number of signups per day, grouped by instance.

Here you can see our recent spike in users compared to normal:

Adding in some other large instances we all got an increase in traffic, but ours seems to be more sustained:

And for completeness, compared to all of lemmy (as visible by lemmy.ca, so only things we federate with):

Reddit's announced some more changes but I suspect the whole tariff situation is pushing Canadians extra hard.

Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here's a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn't work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated.

Lemmy.ca is now running on 0.18.3!

Sorry about the downtime there, the kernel decided to panic on the initial docker upgrade, then it took a few minutes for the new DB updates to happen after the upgrade.

Hello everyone!

I figured a daily thread is too much for our small community, but since people are subscribing let’s get this started!

Downtime (self.main)

Sorry about that! Service ran out of memory for some reason and I took some time to investigate.

Edit: Going to take a second hit, rebooting again to roll back a kernel upgrade that was applied yesterday.

Edit2: It's fixed properly now.

Hello everyone!

I've setup two more public interfaces that you can use to browse lemmy.ca:

Enjoy!

 

Hello everyone!

We'll be having a brief maintenance window on Saturday at 11:30AM Pacific Time, should be under 30 minutes.

I'll be applying OS updates, cranking up the kernel nofile limits and probably some memory / swappiness tweaks.
