Awesome, now block threads.net from this instance. Lemmy.ml already did it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I'm just gonna leave Lemmy.world while I'm ahead. The quietness says all we need to know.

"This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these."

Hehe, lemmy.world doing some stress testing for the entire lemmy project.

Hi! I noticed an issue with the headers sent by Lemmy.world.

Headers sent from and to this website's official UI look like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
date: Fri, 07 Jul 2023 23:35:17 GMT
content-type: application/json
vary: accept-encoding, Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers
content-encoding: gzip
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, PUT, OPTIONS
access-control-allow-headers: DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range
access-control-expose-headers: content-encoding, content-type, vary, Content-Length,Content-Range
X-Firefox-Spdy: h2

Which is fine. However, headers received by custom clients look like this:

HTTP/2 200 OK
server: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
date: Fri, 07 Jul 2023 23:33:50 GMT
content-type: application/json
vary: accept-encoding, Origin, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers
content-encoding: gzip
access-control-allow-origin: https://natoboram.github.io
access-control-expose-headers: content-encoding, access-control-allow-origin, content-type, vary
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST, PUT, OPTIONS
access-control-allow-headers: DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range
access-control-expose-headers: Content-Length,Content-Range
X-Firefox-Spdy: h2

There's two access-control-allow-origin! This still breaks web clients.

Can you please give us a straight answer regarding blocking threads.net? If you don't intend to do so, there are those of us who want to know so that we can leave.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not familiar with this blocking threads controversy. Can you EIL5?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Threads big and scary. Smol bois in the Fediverse have been discussing preemptively defederating from Threads due to how big and scary it is in an attempt to protect themselves and the Fediverse as a whole.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Threads is the new Facebook-owned twitter come. It uses the activity pub protocol and is therefore part of the fediverse.

People are concerned that Facebook with embrace the fediverse, enhance it with me features (as they will be the largest developers on the platform) and then either deliberately or because no-one can keep up with their development extinguish it.

It’s working great, but we would appreciate an update in regards to letting meta in our instance or not

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I find it hilarious how the most random shit always changes with updates. Like I just noticed how the badges for mod and OP changed on posts, and so I knew there's an update. Who keeps constantly fidgeting with these things?

Ed: to be clear, I'm not dissing anyone. Keep it up folks

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah I wonder what the reasoning behind that was. Personally I preferred the old way, where it was completedly filled in. Made it easier to notice the tag by color. It also aligned more with the rest of the Lemmy UI and it's filled-in green buttons.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Haha, this is how fast-moving open source projects work, things change constantly as they believe it's better to just get (perceived) improvements out of the door when they're cooked up, instead of waiting in any capacity.

Thanks for the update! But I noticed an issue: it seems you haven't commented on defederating from Threads? Please let us know if you are so we can respond accordingly.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Definitely notice the improved speed and fewer errors lately. Thanks so much for hosting a great instance, and for keeping up with its needs.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My favourite thing except the emoji is the new theme

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hahah hadn’t seen that one, looks nice! Reminds me of the good old days..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha exactly! I just need to find my dot matrix printer paper with the holes and I'm all set to relive my youth

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohh in my youth we had a MSX…

That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. What the fuck.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Nice to see speedups. I always thought it was ironic that kbin was faster than Lemmy when kbin is php and lemmy is rust. Makes sense it was database stuff. You can't solve that with language choice.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Glad to see the admins keeping the instance up to date

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Where can I learn about transferring my community to another instance? Lemmy.worlds silence about threads means he has no intent to defederate so I need to move over to lemmy.ml.

Or is this not possible? Do I just need to walk away from my community because @ruud doesn’t care about the issue?

If that’s the case, how do I add a mod that doesn’t care about meta expressly stating they are going to add features to ActivityPub protocol (step two of EEE)? I don’t want to keep coming back here if it is federated with threads but I don’t need to leave whoever is staying here high and dry.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you move, don't move to Lemmy.ml, move to smaller instances

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It really seems like having my own personal instance is the way to go. The only users I’d need to have are mods of any community I create on it. Then I can defederate with tech co instances. damn. I was really starting to like β€œlocal” here, but the fact that @[email protected] is totally silent about threads is just absolute BS.

Hi Ruud, was wondering if you could check if lemmy.world/.well-known/security.txt actually exists on the server. It was added in 0.18.1 but either isn't being created or isn't public.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Mobile browser is ultra fast and stable, and Jerboa is running like a charm! Appreciate all you and your team's hard work.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Thank you! Much faster, and no JSON errors so far!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Congrats!

I just donated to celebrate this!

Awesome! Thanks for all your hard work and providing an excellent community experience.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
