I use this instance daily and I really like it. The experience is exactly what I’m about, audhder and sharing data. I think that I typically discover new communities by the community having a really legit post that pops up in the hot feed. I would really like if there was better discoverability of cool communities, or even a big list of all the communities so that I could browse through the less active ones that have good posts from the past. @db0 you’re doing a really good job. My main technical gripe is that the Jerboa client does not search by post and only searches by community but that isn’t a instance level issue. That’s a developer issue for the Lemmy client. I mention it here in case you ever get a chance to bend the ear of the Lemmy developers. Now that I’m thinking of it, a hub for other fetaverse stuff to hook up to would be pretty cool or just resources in general for how to navigate fediverse. That might be outside of the scope of a runner of an instance, but the learning curve I think would be a little less steep if there was some Lemmy/Fediverse onboarding kind of built into a mega thread for new users. Overall you’re doing great, keep it up! Thanks!

Maybe bring back Tesseract? Why was it shut down in the first place?

Another idea I had: Hosting our own Matrix instance? That way, every community could create their own spaces while being independent from matrix.org and not putting more stress on their already overloaded servers. Running a modern Matrix server implementation like Conduit, which is written in Rust, shouldn’t require as much resources.

Perhaps enable https://lemmy-federate.com ?

I don’t know man. You guys have done a lot for the federated community from fighting CSAM to maintaining privacy and security standards. I kinda trust your instance more than any other.

Just keep at it and know I’m grateful.

I’m a moron because I thought the name meant database zero. Anyway, keep up the good work!
