BlueÆther

/me looks at his lemmy instance domain

I suspect it is so that they can place ads / AI at the top of every page

come on, Brodie is not that bad

ps (i can’t remember whos channel i saw this on) If you have 2 videos with the same content and the same title but one has that style of thumbnail, the one with that style of thumbnail will get promoted by the algorithm. If I remember correctly it was something huge on the engagement

The correct way (for your use case) is probably to do a full backup of the database and pictrs database and then import them into the new instance.

This is covered in the documentation

Been using for what feels like a lifetime, although I went through a few usernames during the late 90s early 00s and somewhere along the way BlueEther or a derivative just stuck, it was after a comment something like “jus putting this out into the blue ether” in a forum post

Where is it hosted? at home or some VPS?

Some ISPs and VPS hosts block outgoing SMTP

It has bees asked quite a few times. I would go one further and also have notifications for select subscribed communities

Yeah just on the settings page. This test user didn’t have an email set already

Back 6 months ago we all but had that…

Looks to work on my instance:

I feel like such a slacker, I must try harder

The only thing that doesn’t seem to federate on my 0.19.1 instance is new subscriptions, but in saying that it looks like the BE restarted an hour ago

If you have access to the backend then this may do it (would need building out to make usefull), it is only local reads I think:

lemmy=# select count(*) as read ,post_id from post_read group by post_id order by read desc; read | post_id ------+--------- 6 | 8910 4 | 6262 3 | 7774 3 | 4072

I use https://lemm.ee/post/618112 via Tampermonkey

see below

select person.id,name,local,local_user.email from person join local_user on person.id = local_user.person_id where person.id =2;

id | name | local | email

----+-----------+-------+---------------------

2 | BlueEther | t | firstname@lastname.nz

Email is only available for local users and only if filled in on the signup form

Yes us instance admin can pull the email address form local users.

The main table that all the growth was in is now split and the cached federated content can be dropped with out much work, and there was talk of tuning it to expire at 3 months.

The content on no.lastname.nz (very small instance) is only about 10-15GB including cached images
