It's the only full featured app I could find for iOS. Great for admin and moderator actions on the go.

Artic is incredible

Yeah, I know. I'm not great at shooters, so I thought I could join and skill up with everyone else. I joined as soon as it was released. I was wrong; everyone was way better than me. I figured I'd try again later, but now I'm not so tempted. I might try it randomly one day when I get some extra time.

I only played it for a little early on and had meant to pick it back up. That sucks!

That’s exactly how I feel.

I can add more. I have old.discuss.online right now but I can certainly add more.

I hear people without ADHD say this. I didn't every associate thus with ADHD.

I feel sad that more people don't get to see this comment.

/r/nerf created their communities on my instance for a migration but their base wasn't a fan so they only use !nerf@discuss.online as a backup.

Mods try but people are not open to change.

Nothing spectacular on discuss.online.

 

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Sublinks, a groundbreaking Link Aggregation Social Network, joining the Fediverse. This innovative platform is designed to revolutionize how we share and discover online. Our dedicated team of volunteer contributors has worked tirelessly, utilizing technologies like Java, Go, TypeScript, and HTML to bring this vision to life. Sublinks promises a user-friendly interface and robust features that cater to diverse online communities. Stay tuned for our launch date, and get ready to experience a new era of social link sharing!

Sublinks will have a fully compatible API with Lemmy so all current Lemmy apps will also work with Sublinks. In fact, discuss.online will switch to Sublinks to fully replace Lemmy once we reach our Parity Milestone.

For more information, visit GitHub - Sublinks and sublinks.org.

Stay tuned for more regular updates as we progress.

 

Today is a good day. I'm feeling talky... what's going on?

Lemmy doesn't provide any analytics. Give this post a like and/or comment if you use this instance. I'm trying to gauge usage by humans.

I'll let this census run for about a week to gauge usage.

Results might cause different changes to the services.

I'm doing this because the cost of running this instance is higher than most other instances due to reliability and disaster recovery implementations. I'm curious if I should back down many of these costs if we're not used fully. I don't see much activity directly in this instance.

I know that discuss.online wasn't listed on join-lemmy.org for about a month due to a bug with the Lemmy crawler. They just recently fixed it with their redesign. We are now listed but no longer featured.

tl;dr; is this instance dying? Let me know if you're here.

 

We are running the latest release candidate for Lemmy, version 0.19.0-rc.1. This release candidate includes many changes.

Every release comes with its own challenges; however, it resolves previous ones. We hope this release will resolve a longstanding issue with sync not working, causing a lot of manual work from the admins to keep things in sync.

Please let us know if you experience any weird behavior.

Some known issues so far are:

  • HTML entities characters in posts bodies (Changing & to &)
  • The spoiler tag crashes the site if used in the sidebar
  • Mobile apps are borked again

Update 10/25/2023

  • We are now running release candidate 3.
 

Seems fitting to share this now that Social.Photo is live. It’s our newest addition to the fediverse.

We launched a new Pixelfed instance. This is a newly growing community. Most Mastodon Apps work with it if you already have a favorite app like Ivory by Tapbots. They have a PixelFed official app that is about to launch.

We now have a Pixelfed instance. Check it out!

Please welcome @lazyguru@discuss.online to the discuss.online admin team.

I’ve known lazyguru for over ten years. He’s a close friend. His skills are like mine. He will be able to help contribute to all projects of the discuss.online ecosystem.

lazyguru will help with moderation, system administration, monitoring, and development of new features. Joe has already improved some monitoring and is working on some changes to the infrastructure to make it more scalable. He will soon be helping with SocialCare.cloud once the first beta is released.

Please, take some time to welcome him!

Thanks, Jason
