Dang, yeah!

It rendered as a link for me, because I'm on 0.18.1 already (RC). Mobile apps might not support it yet.
This is an area of very much needed improvement.
For users, you should use the completion popup. When you type an @ followed by a name it will suggest users matching that, and if you click on one it will fill out a mention with the link to their origin page.
Give it a shot, try mentioning me in a reply!
The issue with this is the link isn't portable, meaning it may get you out of your home instance. The best way to link any user or community is to do /u/name@origininstance.tld (for users; /c/ for communities) instead of https://origininstance.tld/u/name. That way the link is relative (so no issue of moving away from your home) and it's fully qualified (so no issue with name clashes between instances).
Alright, thank you!
It's not open source but it's quite literally the best Android application I've ever seen, by a significant margin. It's from the good old days where apps were small, very well designed, very polished and did not collect data.
It's FX, a gem ever more lost to time. The site is a bit old and unmaintained so SSL certificates may give you a bit of trouble, but you can just ignore the warnings, it's just an info page.
FX, despite not receiving updates for years has so many features of such great quality, I've yet to find any alternative with a truly competing interface and feature set.
Been using it for 10 years and it has been the pinnacle of Android.
Edit: I know you'll be detracted from trying it since it's not FOSS, but seriously give it a shot.
Awesome work!
I'd like to know more about the exact container topology you have, since I may try something similar on my instance as well.
Is it something like this?
┌───┐ ┌───┐
│WEB│ │WEB│
└─┬─┘ └─┬─┘
┌─┴─┐ ┌───┐ ┌─┴─┐
│BE ├─┤IMG├─┤BE │
└─┬─┘ ├───┤ └─┬─┘
└───┤DB ├───┘
└───┘
Thank you! :3
Yeah, the default sorting behavior contributes quite a bit.
I've loved the idea behind Lemmy since I first discovered. At first, I was using lemmy.ml, but then I saw the opportunity to provide a nice space and expand my sysadmin skills. Since there was no Portuguese instance yet, I thought why not create one?
Since then, I've met more people hosting Portuguese services and it has been great :D
For funding, I'm working on two ways: the typical donations and trying to secure support from local FOSS organizations. At the moment, the server costs are not prohibitive and there have been some donations already. I've also been talking to some of those orgs and it's going well :)
that's also a good one for sure 👀
ooh that's an interesting idea for sure, might snatch it :P
If your instance blocks it, it may be the case they allow community creation through a more curated process. Look for any meta-community (i.e one about the instance itself) and see if there's any info on it.
