Rule of acquisition #39: A favor is the most powerful type of debt.
You only rent the beer.
With a few more additions, lemmy could serve as a good replacement. We already have a Forum / NewComments sort which is perfect for question / answer type communities. We could add a feature to make default sorts for specific communities, so they would feel less fast, or possibly a sort that brings zero comment posts (IE meaning unanswered), to the top.
The reputation and "accepted answer" features from SO are a lot less important than threaded comments can be, especially since questions often need new answers every year, making the "accepted answer" pointless.
Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.
We're readying the release of Lemmy v0.19.4 in the upcoming weeks, but still have a few more issues to address, and testing that needs to be done. If you'd like to help us test betas to help find issues, you can go to https://voyager.lemmy.ml for the newest beta, or run your own test ones locally from our beta docker tags.
Please do not run unreleased builds in production, as these could cause issues which require some manual intervention to fix.
We've also added a few github milestones for our upcoming releases, to keep track of what we'll be working on, but you can also look at our pending pull requests.

@ticoombs converted our docker upgrade script to the newer version, and has been readying lemmy-ansible for the next release.
@dullbananas optimized the actor language inserts, and fixed an issue with triggers locking the tables.
@sleepless Removed an unecessary login step from our crates.io publish, fixed a deprecated reliance on encoding.rs, fixed an issue with onBlur in lemmy-ui, and added a dependency on lemmy-rs-client for lemmy-ui-leptos, which included a lot of structural changes. Fixed an issue with broken direct messages in lemmy-ui, and a bug with newly-created communities.
@nutomic added setting the show_nsfw site setting based on content_warning, fixed an issue with Discourse federation, added NodeBB federation, fixed an issue with crashes for missing domains, added wordpress federation, fixed an issue with early exits when only running scheduled tasks, added a timeout on incoming activities, and made instance.preferred_username optional.
@dessalines fixed an issue with broken community outboxes, fixed an issue with search returning deleted / removed posts. The liked_only for GetPosts now doesn't return your own items, making this more usable to show a history of your likes.

That chart is pretty great, because it shows that only a tiny minority of US states have smaller incarceration rates than Russia.
I'd like to add that the nordic countries are not socialist by any metric.
Also, we shouldn't be so quick to trust western media on the DPRK, who have gotten to the point that they can literally say anything about their enemies, and have it be believed.
- Is north korea a totalitarian dictatorship? Are they all really required to get the same haircut? A short documentary.
- Are north korean defectors really paid to lie by the south? A short documentary.
- What is everyday life like? A conversation with a North Korean Citizen.
- South Korea boosts reward for defectors to $860k USD.
To add, there is only one country on earth with > 800 external military bases, and through an incredibly effective propanda campaign, they've managed to convince the world that its not them, but their enemies that are "totalitarian" and "authoritarian".
- A giant list of US atrocities.
The nordic countries are not socialist:
From Losurdo - A critique of the category of totalitarianism:
Nowadays we constantly hear denunciations, directed toward Islam, of ‘religious totalitarianism’ or of the ‘new totalitarian enemy that is terrorism’. The language of the Cold War has reappeared with renewed vitality, as confirmed by the warning that American Senator Joseph Lieberman has issued to Saudi Arabia: beware the seduction of Islamic totalitarianism, and do not let a ‘theological iron curtain’ separate you from the Western world.
Even though the target has changed, the denunciation of totalitarianism continues to function with perfect efficiency as an ideology of war against the enemies of the Western world. And this ideology justifies the violation of the Geneva Convention, the inhuman treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, the embargo and collective punishment inflicted upon the Iraqis and other peoples, and the further torment perpetrated against the Palestinians. The struggle against totalitarianism serves to legitimate and transfigure the total war against the ‘barbarians’ who are alien to the Western world.
You shouldn't need to trust open source, it should be independently verifiable. Unfortunately that's not possible with either signal or telegram, as there's no way to tell what server code they're running.
I don't care about dorsey or whatever, but a lot of privacy advocates don't consider signal secure, drew devault for example. I'm def among them, you should not trust any centralized US-hosted service.
No need to deal with those redditor commenters ruining everyone's day, report them so we can ban and prevent them treating others in the same way.
Haha no, but we do have some things inside lemmy to make it better suited for question / answer communities, like the forum / new comments sort. But ya I'd be down to hear ideas on how to make lemmy better for that purpose.
Zionism is a settler-colonialist ideology dedicated to the eviction and genocide of the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine. We don't allow them or their defenders a platform here, so you'll have to go to reddit if you want to see people defending their atrocities.
Stay respectful while disagreeing please.
Good point, but how they phrased it above would be: "Make washington / make london a friendly country."
"Order must prevail"
Hopefully shouldn't take more than an hour.

@snan fixed parent comment context links.
@matc-pub added mixins to simplify tippy popups and scroll-restoration, and conditional rendering to lemmy-ui. Also fixed deselecting community / creator filter for the search form. Added blur server-side-rendering by default for content-warning sites.

Also added the image upload views for users and admins to lemmy-ui. Full federated usernames are also always shown now for non-local users. Added vote display mode preferences to lemmy-ui, with upvotes / downvotes as the default. Added a banned indicator to the view votes popup.

We're adding the ability to customize this in the upcoming release, but I'm wondering what people think would be a good default.
The 4 pieces of showable/hideable info are: Upvotes, Downvotes, Score, and Upvote %.
In Jerboa, I had a temporary default (until the next lemmy release), of Score + Upvote %, but people seem to dislike this a lot.
I'll check back on this in a few days to see the result.

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.
We failed to publish the update last Friday as scheduled, so this update contains more changes than usual. We also added @dullbananas as maintainer for the Lemmy backend repo.
@matc-pub reduced the amount of data that needs to be fetched by the browser for rendering lemmy-ui, by loading only translations which are actually used.
@flamingo-cant-draw added a URL Blocklist, to prevent link spamming.
@SleeplessOne exposed Lemmy errors in the Rust API. In lemmy-ui he added a badge for number of local subscribers to a community and added a UI to see and edit community visibility. In the leptos UI, he made the UI use the lemmy-client crate for API requests.
@Nutomic fixed synchronization of featured posts. He added a 'delete content' checkbox for account deletion which was missing from previous releases. He also fixed various bugs related to password reset, signed fetch from Mastodon, search listing type, password reset and 2FA. He updated the federation library with security improvements. Added dont require leading ! or @ for webfinger resolve. Fixed video thumbnail generation.. Added including an apub hashtag with a post.
@Dessalines added a new API endpoint for users to hide posts. He made various moderation improvements, such as removing content from local communities when a remote user is banned or purged, viewing mod action history and report history for specific posts and comments. Additionally he added an alt_text field for posts, and a new user setting for vote display mode. Also added extra fields to PostReport and CommentReport views. Has also, along with @MV-GH, been making many improvements to Jerboa.
In personal news, @nutomic's daugher will be born next month. Afterwards he will take a break from Lemmy to take care of her for some months.

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.
The last two weeks had these changes merged:
@Sleepless added a field so that users can see if they've been banned from a community. Has been refactoring Lemmy's exports to make them more easily used by 3rd party libraries, such as their lemmy-client-rs , and lemmy-ui-leptos. Added an animated avatar setting for users.
Has also been making improvements to lemmy-ui such as fixing a scroll bug, and hiding WYSIWYG buttons on preview. Has also been working a lot on lemmy-ui-leptos.
@Nutomic created an rfc for private communities, fixed an issue with the database logging connection URLs on an error. Added an optional site content warning and post-listing-mode. Also did a lot of code reviews.
@dullbananas fixed an issue with Comment Report reads, added better query plans, and is working on many DB improvements.
@dessalines added an instance-level default post sort. Added a maintenance task to clean up old denied users from the DB.. Made sure that blocking an instance also hides private messages from their users, to prevent harassment. He also added the ability to specify custom thumbnails for posts. Fixed an issue with auto-resolving reports when removing a post or comment.
Has also been making a lot of additions to Jerboa, such as admin registration applications, report queues, comment distinguishing, banning users from their profile page, privacy policies, and muted / smaller federated names.
@sunaurus created an rfc for separate report inboxes for mods and admins.
