Hystoria is a simple, reddit-like site (built with a simplified version of Lemmy [0]) where only items older than 5 years can be posted
This would be a great candidate for federation, I think! I wonder if they could use some help getting that in place
I need to learn more about it and how it works. Part of the reason I picked Lemmy over other options was the possibility of federation.
Have you read the documentation already? I’m linking to git because thats not deployed to any instance yet. If you still have any questions after reading that, just ask :)
Ah thanks for the link! I was about to ask anyway. Actually the reason I even discovered this thread in the first place is that I came here looking for the thread you posted a few days ago about federation testing…then I saw this thread, replied, and forgot why I came here :D
Hopefully they will link to the modified source code sometime too…
FYI they legally have to publish their source code according to AGPL (the license under which Lemmy is published).
Maybe it’s time to contact them asking for the source code. I doubt they’d be very reluctant to release it since it’s a fork of an open source project anyway.

It’s AGPLv3 according to Github’s license summary: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/LICENSE
@nutomic@lemmy.ml I had the code up but recently shuffled my GitHub accounts so removed it.
Really I just commented out a bunch of things in lemmy-ui, but terms are terms, so I’ll get it up ASAP!
Thank you!
Here you are: https://github.com/100millionbooks/lemmy-ui
Thank you all for the great work, and let me know if there’s anything more I need to do in order to properly comply with the license. I use the AGPL myself so I should’ve been more proactive about it.
That looks fine to me so no worries! Also I just noticed that its really useful to have translations in a separate repo, that way you (and other forks) will also benefit from new translations that are added to Lemmy.
my b I … apparently can’t read

Is it that you want to request a copy?

They’re working on it, seems like its rate limited or something like that, if you refresh a couple times you might get in.

Yeah sorry guys, I was blindsided by the default Lemmy rate limits and was NOT expecting front-age HN so…it was down for like an hour :(
Should be good now though.
Are you passing
X-Real-IPandX-Forwarded-Forheaders to the backend? We had a problem with rate limits due to that recently, the backend was counting all the requests towards the internal IP of lemmy-ui. We fixed it in our repo, but you might be missing that.Edit: here’s the code
Thanks, looks like I’ve got that.
FWIW, in my case, increasing the value for
messagein therate_limitsection oflemmy.hjsonas well as removing thelimit_req_zoneparameter in the nginx config did the trick for yesterday’s traffic burst. I’ll probably put them back (or at least reduce them to saner values) once the spike dies down a bit.
Pretty cool concept imho.

What do you mean?

“data” is a very open ended term so it’s not super clear what you mean. It’s also a bit unclear because I don’t see why that’s especially true in this particular case. I take it you are saying some sort of precautions should be in place to stop bots from running rampant. And sure, that’s fair enough. I think that’s true of all of lemmy and any activitypub project though, and will depend on how they handle moderating.
Is there any reason you think a site focused specifically on 5+ year old content is uniquely vulnerable to spam bots?
