Well the app is mainly written in PHP so some knowledge of that would be nice. Other issues we see are on database level, and I can troubleshoot that but some assistance would be helpful. And then translating the tuned database queries in the format they use in their php code.

I see you have set it as spotlight though ;-)

Well we run Friendica.World which is European but I wouldn’t recommend registering there just yet, we first need to get performance issues fixed…

I will see if I can find some time to troubleshoot further, but as long as the devs don’t have time to solve the issues then we’re kinda stuck… unless we find some more php devs to help out…

I don’t see that, can you tell me where you search and what you search for? Maybe add a screenshot?

It’s configured to only search within tags, because otherwise the database will die. I will change that once the code is tuned for larger databases… But it shouldn’t return an error.

I don’t see another option than volunteer-run instances or professionally run instances. And for professionally run instances you need funds (so paid subscriptions) and for volunteer-run instances you need volunteers…

In my experience, as long as there are enough active users, you’ll find enough volunteers.

I’ll look into that

Nice work. Good thing we can have communities migrated now.

I stopped self-hosting stuff that’s for the family. In case something happens to me, no way my wife is going to keep this stuff running. And the kids are too young. So they would lose everything.

Family stuff goes in managed solutions (like Proton). Personal and public stuff is selfhosted.

Just something to consider.

Thanks! We’re doing our best. But we also need the github issues solved by the devs. Or others with programming skills

Any more info in the logging on why the attempt was rejected?

You should be able to cancel and/or change it:

Not sure I understand this. The Friendica project originated in Germany. Do you mean a certain instance that’s based in Australia?

We have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.

(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)

For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.

(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

I would say if there’s a word that’s censored which you think shouldn’t, let us know.

Ah yes, the slur filter. That’s been there since the start.

Censor function? What’s that?
