I don’t know what it means, either.

  • I’ve found from hopping around some other instances that have upgraded to 0.18 that it is still pretty buggy. It does seem to be giving more information about the errors, instead of just failing like in 0.17, but spend any time browsing on those instances and you’re bound to be inundated with JSON and query errors. It also seems to get worse the longer you browse.

    The UI changes are nice, and I do appreciate not having my feed auto-updating constantly, but I think you’d be making the right choice to hold off on upgrading until they can iron 0.18.1 out all the way. I’m not super knowledgeable about TS and Rust, but as a user it seems that switching from WebSocket created/shined a light on Lemmy’s issues with caching in general.










  • Man, really fuck Spez. Christian just seems like such a genuinely good guy, who just was trying to build something great using Apple’s tools. The way he details the huge shift of direction from early 2023 to now in regards to them having no plans to change the API smells a lot like corpo-influence sinking their teeth in Spez and forcing this change ahead of the IPO.

    Hopefully we can prove that this new model works and can be sustained long-term, and Christian can be enticed to revamp Apollo for the fediverse.







  • I see that more as the strength of the federation model. Yes, communities or entire instances could and will have political leanings that disagree with your own, and that difference could lead to censoring decisions that would be counter to your opinion.

    But, nothing is stopping you or anyone from creating that same community with your political beliefs as the guiding methodology to compete. Then people who disagree with the original decisions can flock to the new one. It’s a co-existence that I think is impossible with the centralized model.
