That and space, think of the cost of having an extra room in the house for all that stuff.

Are there any places where there are concreted in normal chess board? With all the nice re-imagining of public space going on right now, we have ping-pong tables, seems like there should be a chess spot.

Is there a spot in Montreal that has a regular gathering of guys playing chess? You know that classic New York scene where you can show up and play some games.

Dan Carlin has a political show called Common Sense which he releases once in a blue moon. Whenever it comes out it feels like finding $200 in an old jacket pocket.

It doesn’t store media forever that is routinely cleaned and configurable in the administration settings for the instance. The content cache, which is database storage used for the text and meta-data of posts is more typically an issue over time because this requires commands to be run on the server to free up space, which many people do not do. https://fedihost.co/blog/slug/managing-mastodon-storage

 

I've had a small mastodon instance for over a year and recently decided to get to the bottom of why the "Explore" tab hardly ever recommended any posts.

"Nothing is trending right now. Check back later!"

When I was a programmer I never used ruby, but reading through the code I think it's down to a hard threshold of 5 minimum interactions for something to even be considered for the trending algorithm. This makes it hard to meet theses conditions on instances with a small number of active users.

 

What features made you choose PieFed over Mbin/Lemmy?
What features do they have that you’d like to see in PieFed?

I'm a person who doesn't like private ownership of housing much, and personally wants to see co-ops as the predominant form of housing... But: Fuck these think tanks like IRIS, adding net new housing units helps as studied by actual academics in published in academic journals
Social housing is great, private housing, co-ops housing, housing is great. Choose your preferred one and then support making it easier to build more. Attacking the other types? You're drinking economic ivermectin if you think housing supply doesn't help reduce the overall price of housing. We're way too deep into a housing crisis, short literally millions of units, and instead of pushing for (say) automated upzoning on sites with non-market units to increase supply these guys are firing off blog posts which will be used by NIMBYS to undermine housing developments across the city.

Good ideas for something like a "10 tips" video or something to help people up their game.

Good tip, I'll keep chipping away at this and then make a video.

 

I've been working on a guide to getting started on Lemmy. What do you think I should add?

Thanks, updated.

 

Posted this over at [email protected] and it was suggested I put it here too.

Perhaps you could write up the sort of guide you are talking about so I can see what you mean? I haven't found people respond well to hitting them with much more than this upfront, and they get anxious when you don't give them some specific recommendations to get started.
