You're awesome man! This is direly needed. I'm just wondering how on earth to publicize this before the madness that hits on Monday.
Any chance you could find a place to fit this in the join lemmy site and do a pull request before then? I know it's a lot to ask, but it would be huge.
Yes this sounds great.
I see TypeScript and get scared. Personally, I do think that the join-lemmy.org/instances page should link to:
Can anyone with TypeScript experience make this PR for us? Here's the relevant file:
You thinking just a with the 4 links in it and a header of some sort? Mock or description or anything?
I think at the top, just above the "Recommended" add:
For a more detailed comparison of Lemmy instances, see:

After you create an account, you can find communites across all instances using <a href="https://browse.feddit.de/">Feddit's Lemmy Community Browser</a>

Not sure who the approved reviewers are.
https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-translations/pull/12 <-- translations PR, prerequisite of other PR
https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/pull/158 <-- DRAFT PR. This one will need the translations folder updated after the translations PR is done. There might be a better way to do this, but I almost never work on submodules in this way.
abraxas said he was a typescript vet just earlier, maybe we can coax him into having a look? xD
Worth a shot at least.
EDIT: Just shot him a message
Unfortunately I also have very little free time. If you're not in a hurry and nobody does it before me, I can take a look. Wish I could set a reminder in Lemme. Anyone code the remindme bot yet? LOL.
!remindme 1 week
EDIT: Well shit, yes the deadline for a lot of things is next monday isn't it. Lemme see if I can squeeze in a little time tomorrow morning or evening, if one of my jobs isn't overwhelmingly crazy, I might be able to. It's just adding a few links in the "Lemmy Servers" body text? Any UI standard?
I'm a TS vet, but green on lemmy UI design.
deadline is next monday lol
Updated my original message. If I can make time, I need a little more precise info about what/where on the links. It looks like a short enough PR as long as I know exactly what the links should look like
There is also a similar list on: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
oh shit I wish I knew that existed before XD
I've stumbled upon this site that seems to be similar?
Thanks for sharing! How did you find that one? Do you know who runs it? I really, really like that they have an uptime monitor.
Is it autogenerated like this one?
Yes, it uses a standard called NodeInfo2 that many Fediverse projects and XMPP / Matrix etc. expose.
Great work! Thanks for making this. ❤
Users can create communities on Blahaj Lemmy. Most of our communities are created by users
Hmm, I see community_creation_admin_only is set to false on the API. I'll look into this, thanks for letting me know :)
Edit: should be fixed now. Please let me know if you find any other issues :)
Same for lemmy.studio, I have community creation open for everyone. Not sure why it shows as false.
What's the API endpoint? I'll double toggle the option to see if it fixes it, maybe it is set to admin only even if the UI shows the opposite.
Because I had a bug. Fixing now :)
I wonder how the user account is calculated too. I think Dartboard Links (links.dartboard.social) has about 10 users now.
I'm literally just asking the instance's API how many users it has:
Check the users_active_month field. How your instance calculates that is a question for the lemmy devs ;D
I'm a pretty fresh instance (Saturday I think) so it might only be calculated once a week? idk
It only counts users who posted or commented during that time.
Aha! I think I’m getting a lot of the “what’s this all about” crowd. Thanks for the clarification.
I also recently just created my instance vlemmy.net, I dont mind anyone joining and creating their community's there. Dont really have any restrictions either. Would be nice to learn some new things from our internet friends
How do you check wether nsfw content is allowed?
Because my instance (feddit.de) doesn‘t allow pornographic material. I guess that doesn‘t exclude all nsfw content. But the column header is called adult and it makes it seem like „adult content“ aka porn was allowed.
*edit fixed typo
It doesn't say porn, it says adult. The legend describes how it's determined
Adult "Yes" means there's no profanity filters or blocking of NSFW content. "No" means that there are profanity filters or NSFW content is not allowed.
@maltfield So apparently I can interact with my Lemmy posts on my Mastodon account. Cool!
For anyone else trying to figure out how: I just took the URL of the Lemmy post and pasted it into the Mastodon search field.
It would be nice for those elsewhere on the fediverse to know when an instance is aligned with or run by the same people as an existing mastodon or other kind of instance.
Pretty sure nothing conventional is exposed for that sort of information, but it could be useful in the future. Maybe a general description field that can contain that sort of information.
You mean like https://mastodon.world and https://lemmy.world? Do you have other examples?
I think there are a few.
blahaj.zone
infosec.pub
pawbs is a furries thing on mastodon too I think
I wrote a small mastodon post with some links here: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/110506940921141037

Shooting for this. It's not beautiful but it's not ugly:
Gonna have to dance around the i8n library for this PR, but it shoudl be possible.
Definitely better than what we have! More info is better
How about a spreadsheet release (on GitHub) so we can easily filter things out? 👀
Shiit, it would be much easier for me to write it out to a CSV than to a damn markdown table. Thanks for the great suggestion :)
Edit: @QuestioningEspecialy@kbin.social the table is now available as a spreadsheet
