I think you’re mixing things up a bit. LineageOS, GrapheneOS etc. are not what people refer to as “mobile Linux”, mobile Linux would be Ubuntu touch, mobian etc.

Btw. do you know about Sailfish OS?

256k vessels at the moment, I’d say there is a good chance!

I think Voyager is based on the famous iOS reddit app (Apollo?) and is regularly updated. Looks really polished and I’m also using it on android next to sync.

You have to go first to “sources” and then it’s in the YouTube options

Let’s be real here, they’re called Reibeplätzchen.

Ireland is probably is a nice country to live in, but it’s pretty ironic recommending it to someone wanting to come to the EU because of its regulations on big companies.

Ireland costs other countries 16bn a year by allowing those companies to evade taxes in the EU.

I’m on a german instance (feddit.de) and it’s federated with db0.

I think it’s just lemmy.world bullshit.

Has anyone read their post about their downtime?

“We shouldn’t close registration or limit the amount of communities because we’re not even the biggest instance in the fediverse”

Like, what?! The argument was always that they are the biggest in Lemmy! It felt like they were trying to gaslight the users.

Same as the other arguments, like new users being weirded out if they can’t register to lemmy.world or apps using them as default. So them being down all the time doesn’t matter? Or that lemmy.ml was the biggest instance and closed down registration and new users registered to other instances without a problem?

I’m really weirded out how hard they try to be the “main” thing on Lemmy.

Interesting! I tried it a bit more:

• I had “Undetermined”, “Deutsch” and “English” selected in my profile.
• I was able to set the comment to “Undetermined”, but then still not able to set it to “Deutsch” (back to “English”, worked though)
• Changing the word “homie” didn’t make a difference
• Other comments set to “Undetermined” were able to switch to “Deutsch”
• Other comments set to “English” (that were actually written in english) were able to switch to “Deutsch”

Seems like it’s a problem with this comment in particular, but I can’t figure out why!

Edit: I found another comment set to “Deutsch”, written in german, that can’t be changed no matter what.

I’m trying but the save button just loops endlessly…

What difference does it make? Aren’t you able to see the comment?

Alle meine Zuhausis hassen Waldorf Frommer!

I agree with your points and like the idea of more specialized instances and also country related instances. I think it’s solvable if the different admins work together.

Lemmy.world doesn’t have to go private, they could just not accept more users and communities for a while. It wouldn’t change much since everyone will still be able to post and comment on Lemmy.world from all instances. New users would just have to choose a different instance that’s all.

For me that’s the whole point, I don’t see any benefit of a big instance, the Lemmyverse doesn’t need one.

Understandable, but aren’t growth and instability related in this case? There are many instances with capacity that are already run by capable people. Just spread the load (ahem) across the Lemmy verse and only handle as much as you can. But maybe I’m missing a point, I just think that this would be the best for Lemmy in the long run.

How about another approach?

There is no good reason for Lemmyworld to keep on growing to an extent that this kind of overhead is necessary. The idea of Lemmy is decentralization and not creating a new reddit instance. Close your registration, limit your amount of communities and let Lemmy grow in other directions.
