  • I don’t think people really understand that reddit is an 18 year old product. Their original site was iterated on for 10 years before they stopped building on it.

    Lemmy will get there and beyond. As the fediverse attracts more users, it will also attract more contributors. I’m starting to learn Rust myself in hopes I can contribute to the project at some point down the line.


  • Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.

    If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.









  • Thank you for this post. I was hoping I could ask you a couple of questions because I also had to make some modifications to get Lemmy up and running. I don’t have email yet because my isp blocks post 25 and I haven’t gotten around to requesting an unblock yet.

    I see you’ve modified your hjson file to use gmail. The default config syntax for email is:

    email: {
        smtp_server: "postfix:25"
        smtp_from_address: "noreply@{{ domain }}"
        tls_type: "none"
      }```
    
    My question is, can I just drop in your email syntax with my information and the instance will use gmail instead of the default?
