  • After thinking it through, I don’t think it really matters. There’s no need for a local instance on Lemmy. I agree a local group would be really great but I don’t think there’s the critical mass on here needed to help one take off and if it did, it’d be just as good on another instance.

    It feels more like the Mastodon server https://mcr.wtf is a much better place to put my energy. Although it’s still very small, I’m happy with that because it still gives myself, and other users, a useful to engage with the fediverse and I think there’s much more scope for growth there.





  • Did you actually delete them or set the deleted column? I’m anxious of leaving dangling references which might cause errors to pop up elsewhere but I’d rather get rid of them completely if that doesn’t seem to cause problems.

    I also found it wasn’t reflected in the user count until I manually manipulated the site_aggregates table. I don’t know if that would have caught up eventually.




  • It’s great, isn’t it? I was having a conversation with someone on here the other day and didn’t realise they were on Mastodon. I’d shared the original post there and replies turned up in Lemmy and vice-versa. It’s very cool.

    The only thing I wish could be improved is the having to manually go back to your home instance and search for a community on another server. It feels even worse than the same process on Mastodon, which already feels clunky.

    Day off today because US company I work for has given everyone today’s US day off!

    After a traditional trip to the tip I’ve got on the tram to wander about random places. First the Viaduct Garden at Castlefield. Now I’ve ended up at Media City for no good reason other than that’s where the tram line goes.
