Have any technical details on how this works? And are you planning on charging for the service?

Not without asking, but if the admin is okay with it then sure. I don’t see the point of any sort of monitoring making that many requests per minute though.

Are these 33 different requests or do you hit the same endpoint multiple times?

I’d probably default to every 5 minutes at most, but I guess if it’s up to the admin then it’s all good. 33 requests per minute shouldn’t be a ton of load if it’s all read requests.

Lemmy isn’t meant to be an anonymous platform afaik. Any web server is going to collect IP addresses by default. Even if the server admin doesn’t keep those logs, it’s still possible for the ISP to keep similar logs

If you’re worried about that, you’d be better off using tor or a vpn

In your profile settings, you can choose to hide posts by accounts marked as bot. I’d recommend trying that out.

Ohh, thanks for the info! I thought maybe it was a jab at NZ but figured it couldn’t be that. I had no idea they exist, but will avoid them

What’s a kiwifarm?

How does the server know who to deliver a message to if the metadata is encrypted?

I’m sorry!

I haven’t found it in the UI anywhere yet, but you can look in the database at the local_user table

Good to know, thanks! I have space to spare, but I’ll probably make it more aggressive to save on backup size

Entries older than 6 months are deleted by default, but as far as I understand it might be safe to manually delete them sooner than that?

I finally got mine the other day, so at least it’s real and you should get it eventually too

Another vote for Insomnia if you want something postman-like (sortof). But also check out hurl if you’re looking for something more test-oriented.

I think there’s a chance meta or another big company will attempt to take over. This could be by creating a new client or library that everyone starts using and then suddenly make breaking changes that aren’t part of the official activitypub protocol.

Google used to use XMMP for it’s chat but eventually it was no longer compatible with 3rd party servers.

No idea what will happen, just don’t get too complacent. Being decentralized now doesn’t mean as much if a couple giant entities end up owning 90% of the network.
