I forgive you

Also going to be adding some ssh keys to my steam deck and phone so if this happens again I can at least connect remotely that way next time. Usually do it with password auth on my personal servers so forgot to copy the key for this server

I can see it's working now, thanks!!

Correct, but you don't know what is invalid.

It could be that the SSL certificate is expired (most likely) BUT it could be a number of other issues.

It could be signed by an untrusted source, it could be a man in the middle attack. It could be there's malware on the website. It could be that the SSL certificate is misconfigured.

There's no way to know because cloudflare is hiding the actual issue.

It shows the error under the what happened section

SSL certificate got expired, should be fixed now (went in and renewed it) That should be getting done automatically so ill have to see what happened

Most likely an expired SSL certificate, but unfortunately cloudflare appears to completely obscure the actual error so there's no way to know.

🥳

Thank you!

Yep I have that queued up to do sometime soon, you should see some updates going out this week

Almost everyone here could create a local bot that just scrapes URLs and dumps them here from anywhere. We don't because the people here, by and large, still place intrinsic value on things shared by a human.

To me - This is not a dumping ground for random links. It is a place where PEOPLE saw something interesting and shared it themselves.

Fuck reddit. I don't like reddit. How are the links magically evil if they were crossposted? The functionality is the same

Yeah exactly. That's why mods of communities that agree might want to make it easier to switch?

The sentiment is 'fuck reddit'. putting up a bot to bring that shithole closer to tihe fediverse will result in a change of sentiment to 'fuck this bot.'

If you like reddit that is your choice. Go there as well. but don't try to force that onto people who came here to get away from there just so you have one less click.

What sentiment ? That reddit is a toxic, centralised, commercial shit hole loke Twitter etal ?

This has been done and redone, everybody hated it, most people blocked the entire instance

I think there are entire servers that mirror reddit and they are consistently defederated. My view is that if I wanted to be on reddit, I'd be there. It has a lot of not content that I would rather not have on the fediverse. Also, because the content is just synced, the original poster cannot react to the content on the fediverse.

If there were a bridge where responses from the fediverse would be copied to reddit, it might be more useful. In its current form, of just feels like content-stuffing.

This is a request for the admins to host the bot here so that certain communities can opt-in for the service (would still need approval)

I don't understand this sentiment. I am on reddit but want to be here. Want to make the transition easier for the places I mod

This bot is "official" in what way?

Can't block it fast enough. If I wanted reddit, I'd be on reddit. I already block feddit and other instances that seem to be focused on being reddit.

Sorry for the silence. My years on the internet make me hesitant to claim I'll do something publicly until I'm already almost done. Else it's unlikely to get done and I'm then not keeping my word.

Great!

The push-based ActivityPub (apub) federation itself is bad design anyway. Something pull-based with aggregation and well-defined synchronisation would have been much better.

There are ideas beyond that. For example, complete separation between content and moderation. But that would diverge from the decentralized family of protocols apub belongs to, and may not attract a lot of users and traffic. And those who care and don't mind smaller networks prefer fully distributed solutions anyway.

For all of the attention in the early days about Lemmy being rust based and thus focused on performance, the database seems to be the main bottleneck neck and from anecdotal monitoring of the other admins complaints I'd say that seems true.

Seems like some design issues lead to heavy database usage and its going to be really hard to optimize away from that.

I don't really have a better idea, just acknowledging even a small instance has to scale disproportionally to its size when the rest of the network grows and that's heavy on the database specifically.

Felt the same way, and when I had time and thoughts to post the server was down. Glad to see it back up with an upgrade.
