Having used KDE Neon for 10 minutes, I’ve had no issues with the trackpad…

If this is Ubuntu or KDE, dunno, but liking it so far .

Yeah exactly.

Not too fond of snap, but am trying KDE Neon now, as I’m a “experienced rookie”, but still have never tried any other DE than Gnome…

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have only ever tried Gnome (and a quick test of ElementaryOS and ZorinOS), but maybe it is time to try another DE.

Currently running Fedora on my ThinkPad T14 Gen 1, but the trackpad is hit or miss. It will either work splendid, or Tap-to-Click and scrolling are working 40% of the time…

I really like Fedora, but might just return to Ubuntu, as I had no issues with the trackpad there.

Why u’re caring?

Global warming?

Be the change you wanna see!

If you had any clue what I have been personally doing with lemmy for the past 90 days, you would laugh at yourself.

Hey, we are someone who notices, and do not laugh at all, but appreciate everything you do!

Hey, when life gives you lemons, buy more storage!

Already fixed, will be in next release

If a new user on my instance was able to subscribe to a comunity on another instance, and all the posts/comments/likes of that community was being fetched so it was browsable on my instance - I would see no issue.

But as of now, if a user wants to browse content from several communities on different instances - and discover new interesting comunities on different instances - while being a user on a instance filled with "like minded users, they would need a user on all instances which hosts communities of interest to 1) discover these communities 2) view the posts from these communities.

What you are describing are single entities of communities, which defeats the purpose of federation completely, in my opinion.

I understand the idea of the “fediverse”, but personally think that the “no backfill” is the biggest missing piece of the great puzzle.

If I, 2 years from now, wanted to create an instance on the ever-so-popular fediverse, why should I? I can’t attract any new users, as they’ll lack all of the historical posts that makes a community a community (the inside jokes, the posts we still remember, that sort of thing).

Where we are today, better load your instance up with content from the popular communities at the popular instances, to ensure you are able to attract new users in the future.

I get why that defeats some of the purpose of the fediverse, but as for “new instances” it is crucial to have content - or else you have no new users.

I’ve played around with the Lemmony script, and altered it to take only popular instances in account. Right now it only parameterize by active users pr community, but I’ve changed it to also look at users pr instance, so you can subscribe to e.g. top 10 communities of the top 50 instances, so you have the content on your instance for new users joining… But this is just me playing around (and causing the load on the popular instances) with the dream of some day being able to provide my users with the content they would also be able to view on the major instances.

Allright, so this is isn’t the parameter that’ll speed things up by itself.

I set it to 10 (a bit more cautious than you, but this is somewhat new ground for me) and didn’t record more req/s, but it feels like the instance is a bit slower in terms of loading times. After I have tucked the kids in tonight I’ll snoop around netdata (where I’m monitoring the servers) to see what (or if something) has changed.

Seems like a great place to look.

I installed via Ansible, so the config doesn’t include the pool_size by default.

I can see that the default value is 5
I’ll go straight ahead and fiddle with this, but do you (or anyone else) have any recommendations, based on how postgres is working and memory/cpu loads?

(I’m not about to bump it to 100, but maybe someone has already found the “natural limit”)

On Reddit, Sync Ultra was able to restore deleted comments and translate posts/comments in app.

I hate subscriptions as much as the next one, but I have never used Reddit, only Sync, and it is such a polished app, so I’m paying 3$ a month to keep ljdawson developing it to be even better.

So the money also goes towards keeping the developer interested and invested in his app.

I know plenty of free alternatives exists, and as of now you aren’t getting anything for your money that you couldn’t get elsewhere for free, but as of now I am loving having sync back.

Sync for Lemmy released yesterday and has what you are looking for.

You should try Summit - after tweaking for 5 minutes it’s what I wish Sync would look like. Aesthetically it’s awesome!!

Sync still wins based on functionality and ljdawson’s tendency to make sure everything works as intended, but I like the look of Summit more.
