Lemmy's code isn't that easy to get into, otherwise there would be much more contributors to it.

The third biggest contributor after the two main devs has 59 commits.

Good luck with this!

Interestingly enough, I always thought that Blahaj had a !trans community as they are a queer instance at their core, but it seems it wasn't the case.

The issue is that currently the 1-2 years used flagships have a lot of issues

• Samsung S21 and S22 have bad batteries, not even talking about Exynos if OP is based in the EU
• Pixel 6 and 7 have bad connectivity and also some battery issues
• OnePlus aren't what they used to be

That reduces quite a lot what should be the main source of used flagships

I skimmed through it, seems like a basic explanation of what the Fediverse is, mostly oriented on Mastodon.

The videast himself doesn't think he'll post his videos to the Fediverse as it lacks monetization.

There is a security issue by allowing automatic federation with any federated instance: an attacker could just create a huge number of communities, with a large number of posts, exhausting the resources of small instances.

That's what I guess it the main reason why it works like it does now: the server only gets the content if someone is interested.

Host your own instance and that would be the case

This is fixed in version 0.19.3, hopefully your instance will update soon

Looking forward to it. Hopefully people will stay respectful.

People are pushing for it because they see the amount of people here as a finite number that shouldn't be spread too thin.

I'm more on the side advocating to get more people here so that we don't worry about how many communities we have on the same topic

I have higher hopes. Java is three times more developers than Rust (https://www.statista.com/statistics/793628/worldwide-developer-survey-most-used-languages/), and you can see in this thread a number of people saying they could contribute as they know Java and not Rust.

Let's hope for the best.

On a separate topic, I am thinking about creating a more laid-back, relaxed community for Europeans, without news (as they seem to be the central focus of this community). I'm still investigating which server would be the best to host it, lemm.ee seems to be a good candidate.

Great study, thanks for sharing!
