The biggest storage issue is images, which is 2.1TB at the moment. There is a way to clear this up a bit with some software, but it’s apparently got risk, so low down the priority list at the moment as object storage is cheap and doesn’t affect the server directly.

Do you have image proxy enabled? Then storage grows much slower.

These are already implemented, you can try them on voyager.lemmy.ml.

Oops we are in the new year already. Thanks!

The instance is blocked, I suppose thats why the link is rendered wrong. Why it was blocked I dont know.

Good idea, I just implemented this.

Lemmy also has an admin setting like that. Additionally there will be private, federated communities available in version 1.0.

I made a couple of “Help Design Lemmy” posts in !lemmy@lemmy.ml recently to get feedback and ideas, which was very helpful. I will continue to make such posts to improve join-lemmy.org, and also Lemmy itself.

Had a look at the Piefed signup now, choosing categories like that is a good idea. But the question is how these categories get curated. We have something similar with the instance topics on join-lemmy.org but no one is really helping to maintain them. So for community categories it would probably similar. In 1.0 we will have some improvements for discovery, like multi-communities and a “suggested communities” collection which can be set by local admins.

For the Mastodon recommendation there isnt any good alternative software that I can see. So its probably best to recommend a single Mastodon instance, depending on the target audience.

Not everyone likes infinite scroll, but some apps such as vger.app offer it.

Sounds like you are specifically looking for a client focused on image browsing. In that case I would suggest linking to vger.app, phtn.app or blorp which I linked in another comment. Lemmy 1.0 will also have a card view which admins can set as default, where images are already expanded.

see another interesting post, image to small, can’t see so I have to click – https://lemmy.ml/post/42501566

This is only the link preview (indicated by the arrow icon), not an image post. Is the icon too small?

Its been a long time, and youve been there almost since the beginning!, Congratulations, and good luck for the next five years!!

And so you decided to spread that misinformation further, instead of simply replying that it is wrong? I’m also very curious in what ways you consider Piefed’s UI better than Lemmy.

Not true.

Why dont you mind your own business?

Ah yes because one sentence by someone you dislike is enough basis to judge a different person that you dislike. Why dont you do something useful with your live, instead of hating on people who actually create something useful?

Nice screenshot by the way, which leaves out 90% of the actual comment. Link for comparison. I wont even get into the other deceptions, you really are true to your name.

Here you go: WHO chief declares end to COVID-19 as a global health emergency (2023)

People will always find some excuse to do nothing and stay on Reddit. Whether its Lemmy or Piefed you will only ever get a few people to switch.

In what ways does the Lemmy UI suck? I would appreciate feedback in order to improve it. For what its worth I only use the default UI on desktop and mobile, and like it a lot.

For different UI you can linnk people to blorp, vger.app or phtn.app. There are also a lot of mobile apps.

Instead of recommending Lemmy in general, you should recommend a specific instance which matches the audience. For example someone posted about piefed.ca in /r/BuyCanadian. Or you can link to a different frontend like vger.app.

I did make a redesign to join-lemmy.org recently so that new users can reach the registration page with a single click. I am also curious about any suggestions you have to improve the onboarding.
