Sync has been available for well over 2 months, I don’t think that many former users will still follow. Sure, each new app will bring a fraction of its former users, but that’s not sustainable.

Long term sustainability is going to be challenging. The Lemmy userbase is way smaller than reddit’s regardless, and for 3.50 EUR one-off it will be challenging to cover future development efforts.

Hm, I like it way more than RiF.

It actually has, if you scroll down to the bottom there are plenty of users stating default UI plus some plugin.

You could argue that 25% for sync is quite something, and almost double that of the next largest competitor.

He knows who’s buying 70% of his cars. And that’s not Taiwan.

No disclaimer you need to accept or anything? That’s usually enough to block IoT devices from auto-connect.

I haven’t seen an open network in the last 3 or so years.

The Nvidia Shield is amazing.

Exactly that. I’ve got it plugged into a Nvidia Shield that’s on my network, streaming stuff from my local NAS and various online sources. My router blocks known ad networks, and all apps I install on the Shield are vetted to maximise privacy.

Deleted my two main accounts and I think 3 alts that I could still remember, and haven’t been back since. I can’t use social media without Sync.

Hope you throw the batteries in last, when they explode they might otherwise extinguish the flames. Very inconvenient.

For now it’s all or nothing. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah and then you poop glitter. The canal workers are gotta be mightily impressed.

I didn’t pay for it either. If I’d have been the one to order, I would have settled for something way more budget friendly. Not that I mind splurging once in a while, but then only on stuff I actually enjoy.

This is something that many admins and mods have been discussing for a while now, and I believe it would be an important feature for lemm.ee as well. Essentially, I would like to limit certain activities to users which meet specific requirements (maybe account age, amount of comments, etc). These activities might include things like image uploads, community creation, perhaps even private messages.

Sounds like the old karma requirements some reddit subs had. While I’m not against that, it would restrict locally registered users more so than others who are posting on lemm.ee communities when their host instance has no such system in place. I’m aware that if they post images those would be uploaded to their home instance and linked here with the patch you mentioned above, but the downside is that local users might feel inconvenienced more so than others. Not saying it’s a bad idea though, if we are thinking from a “protect lemm.ee” angle first and foremost.

Automated ML based NSFW scanning for all uploaded images

You might want to reach out to the dev of Sync for Lemmy, ljdawson on [email protected], he just implemented an anti-NSFW upload feature in the app to do his part. Essentially, Sync users currently can’t post any kind of porn. While I don’t think that the CP spammers were using his particular app, or any app to begin with, I do think it’s a neat feature to have, but would make much more sense to run server-side.

I don’t think they made it onto this server, with the 100kb upload limit in place, that was already a rather low risk. It’s a preventive measure. So far lemmy.world was the one deliberately targeted.

Definitely possible. I’ll try to evaluate that over my next sushi session ;-)

And this isn’t reddit, we can all be nice to one another… For now, I suppose.

For fish that’s no problem at all, no idea why tbh., come to think of it. There are very few I don’t enjoy - and that’s usually due to that sweet mayonnaise and not the actual fish. As sashimi I couldn’t name a single one I wouldn’t eat.

I agree, but Wagyu is hyped all around, so some people must actually like it.

From all the “rich people foods” I’d say lobster is the one I truly love. Beluga caviar is nice but way overpriced, and oysters are just the devil’s snot. Baked and with a pile of minced garlic they are barely palatable.
