The article goes in a direction I like: plurality and to allow different communities to develop alongside each other is great. However, I still think we should push for establishing universal human rights. I'm not a fan of moral realitivism. I think every community should be able to get onto the Fediverse, but we don't need to applaud every community to do so, and can also take actions against communities that do bad things (e.g. by defederating).
I would recommend "The Dawn of Everything" by David Graber and David Wengrow, which shows how humans managed to live in different forms of community already throughout history. Maybe in the Fediverse, this could become more easy on the internet, too.

My Harry Potter instance is doing okay, so yeah ... Harry Potter fandom is slowly growing in the Fediverse. A thing that a year ago I thought wouldn't be possible in the Fediverse. Seems really like there is enough room in the Fediverse to let different communities co-exists along with each other even if they don't agree on many things

I think multi-communities (which have already been improved for funding) will push Lemmy forward big time. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

Problem: even with discovery, if your friends are on Threads or X, you still won't find them on Mastodon. But its a step in the right direction.

Found it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/17357923/9209304
On 0.19.3, you can:
- Limit the file upload size for local users through nginx configuration
- Disable incoming federated images through Lemmy configuration: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/config/defaults.hjson#L49 (set this to false)
Additional: On https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/nginx.conf, there is an option "client_max_body_size" that you can set to 0.

Where can I find that option? Is it during instance-setup?
blue_berry 1w ago • 100%
Lol. Is this bot scraping the threadiverse for communities and posting them here?
blue_berry 1w ago • 100%
Well, both. I want to grow my instance a bit and also don't want other people to post weird stuff in my communities

Interesting idea, thanks
I know the issue has been answered before, but does anyone know if there exists some kind of work-around until the actual disable-image-upload is implemented in Lemmy?

The combination with "lemmy.zip" is nice :D

Well written, interesting article.
Really getting momentum from Reddit will be tough though. Our main advantage is that we have the rest of the Fediverse as a potential user base, and existing forum apps that also activate apub; reducing network effects. If the Fediverse has momentum, so has the threadiverse.

When I can, I try to contribute to !leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social
Thanks! The community is growing slower, but now keeps consistently ofter 1000 MAU.
I don't think I will do the migration to floonet.social after all. Instead, I want to wait until the Lemmy devs implement the admin option to disable image upload (which they want to implement in the next months). This way, you could still see images from other instances, but not upload images yourself.

Perhaps. But I at least heard the MAGA instance went away again pretty quickly.

I would say they belong to the authoritarian left.

I think its a bit complicated. For example, there was a big buzz when all H.P. novels were included in Netflix. On the other hand many queer people literally hate J.K. Rowling. But from all people that I know who read reguarly, I would say most persons have read Harry Potter.

Do images not work? I’ve been posting images and they seem fine…
Oh, you didn't know. Yeah, its really better to use imgur for the time being on diagonlemmy. Its makeshift I know ...
if you are set on a separate HP server, you should see if floo.net or floonet.works is available. Could be funner than the .social TLD.
For me, shit.just.works took the most out of that TLD than anybody ever can ;) Sadly, floo.net is already taken but I also own floonet.world. It emphasizes the global aspect of the community.
Edit3: I have to ask: If diagonlemmy currently has no image support, what purpose was !harry_potter_memes@diagonlemmy.social intended to serve. 99% of memes are image macros.
It wasn't a consistent decision :D I just thought, hey, what communities would be fun here, and created them.
blue_berry 3w ago • 100%
It was like that from the beginning. I didn't want to deal with the image related stuff, moderation, server space, etc. But I think it has limited the growth of the instance significantly. Basically everybody that signed up for the instance never posted anything, this way it never ended up on the joinlemmy page. It feels to me like the instance is stuck because of it.

But look alone how much buzz Hogwarts legazy created. Actually, I think if the Fediverse would do it right, this could be the thing to make us mainstream.
Yes, there are many other fandoms out there, but its still popular enough, even among boomers and millenials. You need to remember we need to get them aboard too and Harry Potter could be the least common denominator here.
And for my generation, it also has a certain provoking edge to it, with which to distinct us from our "woke" milenial parents, who abandonded Harry Potter for its author.
My current instance, diagonlemmy.social has no images, which is not great. So I'm thinking about creating an instance with a Harry Potter meme community. What do you think?
Hello, I wanted to ask what you have to do to be added to the join-lemmy.org page? Is there an email to call? The documentation only reads that you have to meet certain criteria, but is it then added automatically at some point?
The fediverse is now something that you can evangelize about. Its turning into a buzzword ...
