I enjoy OpenMW and I’m happy to host if you want, although my instance is basically just me and a few friends right now.

The web is built on hot linking hypermedia. It is more fragile obviously, but it distributes the bandwidth and storage load. If nobody hotlinked, then small forum admins/Lemmy admins/etc. have considerably more cost to bear.

I miss circles

Wow that website is cancer to load on mobile.

I don’t think ActivityPub supports that. There’s just the “sensitive” flag (which Mastodon shows as a content warning and lemmy shows as NSFW). I think you’d have to do something outside of the specification.

eh I use Linux on my desktop but macOS is a nicely polished UNIX operating system. It’s only locked down for average users, you can usually get away with a quick sudo or worst-case going into single user mode and disabling some system protections.

I definitely prefer using *nix operating systems, and macOS gives me that for portable computing. I’m still more productive on Linux, but it’s not too far apart.

True, you’re correct. I’m just not sure how you did it without corrupting the sled db. Maybe I’m just unlucky

Interesting, when I tried a while back it broke all images (not visible on the website due to service worker caching but visible if you put any pictrs url into postman or something)

I wrote a patch for Lemmy a week or so ago if you want to skip the caching: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3897

I think deleting images from the pictrs storage can corrupt the pictrs sled db so I would not advise it, you should go via the purge endpoint on the pictrs API.

Just a note that my PR there doesn’t disable pictrs for your own instance’s users. It just disables the caching of remote content.

The Lemmy instance I’m speaking from right now is running in my k8s cluster.

Circles were a good idea
