This seems pretty conclusive, I’m going to go ahead and defed. Thanks for all your input.
I imagine the low engagement is because everyone who uses it knows it’s a bot and treats it as read-only
I don’t think this is the case, others like !Mirror@50501.chat and @free@rss.ponder.cat get engagement, and the latter doesn’t even post memes which most lemmings engage with with little regard to community or user.
Is it actually causing any problems?
See my other comment, but nothing technical.
It’s pretty trivial to ignore/block it if you don’t want to see it. If it’s actually increasing our server bill or anything like that then it’s not worth keeping, but if it’s not causing any harm then why bother defederating?
It is easy to block, but new lemmings aren’t going to know all the platform features.
I’m not adamant about defeding though, if people are using it I’ll keep it around. There are other solutions to the issue of new users going to All, seeing a bunch of Reddit reports with no engagement and thinking the platform is dead. Like having new accounts block the bot by default.
Not much, other than the size of the post table in the DB, but that’s not the biggest tables so no need to worry. The only instance that I’d imagine to have a noticeable performance impact is lemmy.world, most of the server load is from users not federation.
Also, RWBY now available to steam on Hulu for US + Canada, and available to ‘buy’ on Apple TV in a scattering of other places, which seams quite random.
Edit: It’s annoying that this comm is misconfigured and doesn’t allow posts to be tagged English, only undefined.

Either the reports are true, or this is a major comms failure on the yet-to-be-named party’s part. Having the initial talk of your new party being if the supposed co-founder is involved isn’t a good look. Corbyn has a lot to be rightfully mad at the media for, but this is one is on him.

Like, either those reports are true or Corbyn went radio silent on the announcement of his new party and let there be room for this speculation. You’d think someone who’s been dealing with a hostile media for a decade would know better.

Assuming my suspicion from the other thread is correct (that you’re running this in your house), you need to set up port forwarding between your router and the computer running Yunohost. Specifically ports 80 and 443.

Corbyn truly is one of a kind, and I don’t mean that in a good way.

BBC statement on Glastonbury 2025
"Millions of people tuned in to enjoy Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC’s output but one performance within our livestreams included comments that were deeply offensive. The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. We welcome Glastonbury’s condemnation of the performance.
"The performance was part of a live stream of the West Holts stage on BBC iPlayer. The judgment on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming online was in line with our editorial guidelines. In addition, we took the decision not to make the performance available on demand. The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.
“In light of this weekend, we will look at our guidance around live events so we can be sure teams are clear on when it is acceptable to keep output on air.”

I don’t see how that follows, like the joke is the dad buying his daughter a taser because the other guy is being a creep, but that’s your prerogative.
