    Is there any way to get ad free without a subscription? I was happy to buy a paid version of the app before, but an ongoing subscription isn't really what I want.

    Edit: it is not advertised as much as Ultra, but there is a one off payment option to remove ads, in the sidebar. Which I purchased!

  • Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
  • Lobstronomosity Lobstronomosity Now 100%

    I wasn't expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can't sort by 'hot' anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven't used it since the switch over and I don't miss it.

    This happens but once in a blue moon. The overall availability of AWS is still immense.

    It's gonna be heavily moderated and anything negative will be removed, probably.

    Depends on the city. In my city, you could walk across the whole thing in maybe an hour, and anything major the furthest you would have to walk is about 30 minutes.

  • how do I link to my community in comments?
  • Lobstronomosity Lobstronomosity Now 100%

    Here it looks like the link is added when you make the comment, and the it is added directly to the formatting. I'm guessing you're using an app or some other client to access Lemmy? On reddit, it just recognises the "/r/" and places the link on the front end.

    Remember when the Oculus first came out, and people said in a few years that VR would get cheaper? Those people didn't anticipate Apple.

    Is registration for new users still open? I applied for a new account some time ago.

  • How much money does Lemmy.ml need to temporarily boost their servers?
  • Lobstronomosity Lobstronomosity Now 100%

    Is it possible to make Lemmy (the system as a whole) able to be compatible with horizontally scaling instances? I don't see why an instance has to be confined to one server, and this would allow for very large instances that can scale to meet demand.

    Edit: just seen your other comment https://lemmy.ml/comment/453391

    Are you a Lemmy dev or just vocal here and on github?

    Downvoting is just used as a disagree button, not for its original purpose of promoting discourse and hiding comments that don't add to the conversation.

    Any comments that add to the conversation get upvotes. Any that don't, can be reported and removed. I prefer it that way.

  • Lobstronomosity Lobstronomosity Now 96%

    I'm sure you know this, but getting progressively larger servers is not the only way, why not scale horizontally?

    I say this as someone with next to no idea how Lemmy works.

    As @RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ml says, create a distributed index of usernames, and do not allow the same username to be registered twice.

    I'd also propose at the same time to create a Discord style username system to avoid potential clashes - if this system is going to become large (mainstream) then eventually available usernames will be hard to choose from.

    As a planner, the solution to traffic issues is 15 minute cities. It's not "leftist", it doesn't impinge on anybody's "rights", it just makes everyone's lives simpler, cheaper and healthier. This is an idealistic view, however.

    In this case, Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi. I was trying to set up a script that would connect to a network storage device automatically. There's not a simple way to do it, you have to go about it in a hacky way.

  • This thought entered my mind today as I came across a thread on Quora, and noticed that they have added a feature where ChatGPT would have a go at answering the question. Today alone I have used a few varying "AI" tools, including one which automatically paraphrases text for you, one which analyses your writing in SwiftKey as you type, and of course the big players like Bard and Bing Chat. It got me thinking about whether these features are actually valuable, and if we would start to see them on this platform.
