Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children.
I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.
Not sure what you mean by “advanced caching”. There is some basic caching for data which rarely or never changes, for example most things in /api/v3/site. But other data like post listings change a lot, so caching is not an option and instead its a matter of optimizing the sql queries (using the right indexes, reducing the number of joins, making benchmarks and looking at query plans).
Here is an issue on this topic: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5555
That is correct, and this happens to be another one of the issues which is already fixed for version 1.0. Basically for each ban we also store which instance it’s associated with, which is shown in the modlog and the new mod action notifications. If you’re interested I can link you the PR.
Notifications for mod actions are already implemented for Lemmy 1.0. Mod mail would take a lot of work to implement, and we have plenty of other things to work on. Being able to view your own removed posts makes sense, will note that down.
What’s wrong with instance bans on Lemmy?
Python is an interpreted language, which is fundamentally always slower than a compiled language like Rust. However the main performance bottleneck are actually sql queries, and I believe we make a lot more effort to optimize them compared to Piefed.
Afaik lemmy.world doesn’t have image proxying enabled, so your browser/app has to connect to other servers to load images. If you use an instance which has this enabled it’s probably faster.
At some point in the future I will also have time to implement community migration for Lemmy. In theory it’s not so complicated, but there are lots of other things to do.
We are close to releasing a first beta version for 1.0. Admins who are adventurous can already upgrade their instance to that. The final release will take longer though, with bug fixing, performance optimisations and general polishing.
Ads dont really work with federation, because you could simply access the content from another instance which doesnt have ads. Even if ads are directly encoded in the video file, it wouldnt be so hard to add something like sponsorblock to a Peertube instance.
It seems to me that our only chance is to wait for commercial platforms to enshittify and destroy themselves, because we can never compete with the amount of money and resources they have available.
EU officials are, incidentally, exempt from chat monitoring – which is quite convenient for someone like von der Leyen. Their communication is explicitly NOT to be monitored. The mere fact that those who drafted this law don’t want it to apply to them tells you everything you need to know about it.
Then how do you expect the problem to get fixed? Do you think I’m a mind reader?
Did you open a bug report?
Lemmy supports federation with Peertube since a long time.
Seems like fetching the post listing from Peertube is broken, but you can fetch individual videos by url. Also if you follow a Peertube channel new videos will automatically be federated and show in your feed. If you encounter such problems please open an issue, we cant fix bugs that we are unaware of.
Yes this will be part of Lemmy 1.0 (its already implemented).

Over three years without any progress.
Lemmy 1.0 is backwards compatible with the current API v3. You can try it here. This uses the API from our test instance at voyager.lemmy.ml which runs the latest alpha version.
This is not possible with the way Lemmy is implemented, because each post belongs to exactly one community. This is not something we can realistically change. We are considering to show comments from different posts with the same url together, but that is controversial.
In any case NodeBB, Lemmy and Piefed are different platforms with different implementations and different users. So it makes sense that some features are implemented differently, or only available in a subset of platforms.
This will come with Lemmy 1.0
What you should do as a mod is set the allowed languages in the community settings. Then people wont be able to post in other languages. Though I realize that the UI for this isnt so good for now.
