31·6 hours agoThe rate of growth does matter yea. If an instance gets worried, they can lock signups. Slow growth means the software has time to improve as they notice issues.
Lemmy had many issues scaling before, except Lemmy had huge surges with the Reddit API blackouts.
If people start recommending PieFed now, it’s on their own terms instead of a massive wave. They can backoff if they get too many users.
I think it’s unlikely that they would attract such a large number of users with 1 post on r/RedditAlternatives or something. Lemmy gets spammed everywhere and we usually don’t even gain 1000 users a day overall across all instances.
There’s already been some comments about PieFed and they didn’t result in huge surges.
We have data on what it costs to run a sizeable instance of Lemmy and it’s not a lot. How does Piefed compare? Anyone starting an instance who envisions it growing large has to contend with this question.
I don’t think this is a major concern yet. The largest PieFed instance has 308 active users, 2nd place has 34. They’ve got room to grow.

People can start posting about PieFed on Reddit and see how the Reddit users react.

1·1 day agoDoes it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user?
Not really lol, but if you think it will be fun then go for it
I missed it live and I was curious, here’s the trailer
I made a request https://retrolemmy.com/post/16368817
We COULD use their RSS feed to make posts here? https://forum.keyosc.com/discover/all.xml/
It would be using this bot: https://rss.ponder.cat/post/1454
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Would it just drown out our own posts? Or maybe pick and choose which feeds to add so we don’t get their general discussion forum.
We can do each individual forum that we want, like https://forum.keyosc.com/forum/29-µ-ziq.xml/ and https://forum.keyosc.com/forum/7-new-upcoming-releases.xml/
Invision ActivityPub support doesn’t seem to be coming soon

honestly even readonly support for Lemmy users would be nice, so I can stay up to date with them and lurk, and if I see something I want to comment on I could open their site
There’s a review of the Astronotnia albums
Nah posting in advance is good, just making people aware

3·2 days agoMaybe just every Windows version number less than or equal to 2000, to make sure it’s still retro!
As a kid I liked GTA2, modded the game to make the taxi super fast and strong lol
I messed around a lot in GTA3 with cheats, causing chaos in the tank
Vice City I actually played for real and beat it, my favorite in the series, but I stopped after that. I probably would’ve enjoyed San Andreas because it’s similar. GTA4 and 5 just seemed like a different tone and style that I was never very interested in. Also they took too long to bring to PC lol.
- “sort”: that’s the word for the options of “new”, “scaled”, “active” etc, right?
Yep https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
- @Die4Ever pointed out there’s a “Show Read Posts” option in the settings. I’ve unticked that and will see how it goes.
I honestly don’t use this feature myself lol but I hope it helps you!
9·5 days agoIt’s definitely a concern. People ask these questions about Lemmy, but no one asks how the horizontal scaling of Twitter functions and then complains that your explanation is too technical.
For like 99% of Reddit accounts, that’s all they do anyways lol
I don’t think it’s always easy to pinpoint UX issues and user friction. Sometimes these things just don’t stick with mainstream users. I say it’s worth a try to see which platform the average Reddit user will prefer.
But if you’re gonna use from a phone, Lemmy’s selection of mobile apps is unbeatable.
