I usually keep stuff to seed until 3.0 ratio or longer if I'm keeping the files. If it's just taking really long and I need the drive space at 1.0 or even earlier. That should be ok right?
I honestly never noticed it :D is there like a setting to turn off seeing those lock symbol people? I must have that on :D
I'm only noticing this on tchncs.
The couple first posts on the "Hot" "Subscribed/All" sorts on tchncs seem to be "normal" hot posts, but after around 15 of those there are only weeks/months/years old posts.
I searched for issues on the repo and I found this which may have been applicable: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3125
However, it was fixed for 0.18, which tchncs is running, and theoretically update_hot_ranks should be a startup job, which I assume happened when updating.
Can something be done about this? Maybe cross-post this to lemmy_support@lemmy.ml (though this should probably be done by our friendly admin)?
It only really matters for the "local" feed which instance you choose. I don't really see much point to that one honestly, except if you're on something like startrek.website where "local" is "show me all star trek stuff", or something similar.
And yes, it is important to spread out the user base across multiple servers and not all end up on lemmy.world.
So I'd say find some smaller instance, maybe with a community actually physically local to you, and make that your main one. Or don't and stay on lemmy.world, I'm not your dad.
Perpetual plug to my userscript which changes all links to point to your home instance to make this even easier :)
Ensures that all URLs to Lemmy instances always point to your main/home instance.
Next up is to actually rewrite post links, which is probably the most interesting feature.
