2 / 4 of those countries are MLs.

lemmy.ml seems to have a fairly low send queue to kbin.earth, but lemmygrad was behind and picked up within the last day

See if its resolved now.

I'm not an expert, but I think the fact that you need to set a TARGET in anubis, IE, where does anubis send you after passing it, means that you do need separate anubis's for each site.

Peer tube uses webtorrents, which for many reasons haven't caught on. It's still mainly centralized nodes with massive hosting costs. Torrents are the fully decentralized answer.

Most of the channels I know ask for donations via patreon or other funding platforms. I don't think youtube pays much except for maybe the top 1% of slop channels.

Lemmy has a separated UI and backend hosted on different ports, so its trivial for us to just only use anubis for the front end. We couldn't put it in front of everything due to apps also.

Every single youtube channel needs to start seeding torrents of their videos, and posting those links to other platforms (here, mastodon, etc).

Youtube / google could be defeated collectively if creators were to consistently do this, and interested people had the ability to help seed videos.

Yep, essentially the botPolicy.yaml there could be a collectively developed anubis config, based on what works best.

 

I've recently added anubis to lemmy.ml, and it seems to be working well.

I have a PR to add anubis to lemmy-ansible (our main installation method), and I could use some help tweaking / optimizing its botPolicy.yaml config, for federated services.

Anyone with experience running anubis, this would be much appreciated.

No probs. Why not, do they have you blocked, or did piefed code in a Cowbee filter ๐Ÿคฃ

This is the right answer. The PRC doesn't let US surveillance giants operate within their country like most other countries naively do.

You can curate your own feed: use the block button for any communities you don't want to see.

As for why there's a lot of politics on lemmy: The west's leading country just threatened to annihalate an entire civilization yesterday. Kind of a lot going on right now.

 
 
 
 

The charts above show growth of active users on thelemmy.club (left) and lemmus.org which are suggested on join-lemmy.org. It shows that improvements to the official project site really have a (small) influence on user growth. There are also a few new features:

This past month we've been working on lemmy-ui bug fixes and visual improvements, and a few remaining lemmy back end issues to get ready for the 1.0 release. We've closed over 20 lemmy-ui milestone issues, and have only a few remaining. The only major issue left is performance-testing, to ensure all our database changes and optimizations are working correctly.

You can follow our progress with these milestone links:

If you'd like to see the new features and visual updates in production, you can visit voyager.lemmy.ml which deploys updates every night. Please help by testing the new features and reporting any problems.

If you have any experience with web development or want to learn it, consider contributing to lemmy-ui. It is written in standard Typescript with Bootstrap.

If you have experience with Kotlin or Android development, you can help contribute to lemmy's open source android app, Jerboa.

Thank you to everyone who has helped out with testing, development, spreading the word about lemmy, and building communities. Your help has brought lemmy from an idea to one of the most vital pieces of software in the fediverse.

Here are the major changes from February:

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations.

To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000รขโ€šยฌ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500รขโ€šยฌ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.
