Maybe don't do frontend then ? Maybe do Haskell, Elixir or vim, or stuff i do then ? :) :) :)

Hhaha that's right, sucks to the frontend.

Since you're technical, I'll mention that a huge factor with this codebase and me suggesting Lemmy, is that this reddit code is old as shit. It's still python 2 and requires all sorts of specific versions of stuff that only exists for Ubuntu 14. Upgrading it all is doable, but it's a burly project and I sure as heck don't want to tackle it by myself. I wouldn't want to write anything from scratch either, but the voat.xyz guy just pulled it off in lovely old PHP. The lemmy backend is done in Rust.

So you wanna lure me to DO your backend in Rust. SOLD.

Yes! Let's make Lemmy shine. It's kind of a lazy commie pile of shit at the moment, but the foundation for greatness is there.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (16 children)

Lemmy even doesn't accept my profile pic.

It's a huge step backwards compared to all of the functionality in this codebase, for sure. Aside from Lemmy's decentralization/ActivityPub.

One step forward, two steps back. One step forward, two steps back. I'll git it myself. When i got a concept i'll upload, cause of multi-server-operabilty. No need for pull requests.

Finally we meet. and i get to see every shit you've ever done.

And i already can feel your balls.

One step forward, two steps back.

Yeah... lemmy is nowhere near as scalable as open source reddit too.

I'm here for free speech. I don't give a fuck about saidit or lemmy or any brands or any tech bullshit. I'm also into free search engines. Let's light her up.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

First thing, i'll test. Even lemmy then and again. Holy shit. Who wrote that?

[–]ohsaidit 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

What about forums for Matrix? The matrix project is going far more places than lemmy.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

Do they have a forum app already? Decentralized chat is cool, but the reddit format is what a lot of people want.

[–]oakenwheels 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Is Lemmy open source?

You actually run this shit. Thats funny. 5000 lines of code and i'm not any smarter. You run this. I can't stop giggling.

    This is a checked fact or what. Guess what: NO NEW INFO.

      STILL: NO NEW INFO. You are somewhat lame.

      The personality disorder i have is called: Workaholism. And i do like Erlang. Where you only can wish to even come close to me.

        You are just a fkn troll, like the one i ran circles around in 2003. You don't even know my name.

        Before i even had linux or vim. Even on Windooze XP, i run circles around you and you hit nothing but air.

        BUT AT LEAST YOU ARE PLEASANT..

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

        Rust.up then. As far as i can see.

        I'm figuring out how to get Lemmy running behind a proxy server now, so that it won't leak its ip address. I can use help auditing the thing.

        [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

        Haskell is more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHCfZTRGiI . If i remember right.

        Who cares? Just send me the server i am not scared to reveal my ip address or my physical address

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

        no, it's to protect the server's ip address. so it cannot be DDOSed directly.
