Nothing is encrypted except a user's password. If you have access to the database you can replace that with a known password hash.

Last post received in my instance from them was over an hour ago. I usually see one or two a minute. Comments stopped at the same time and those are usually about every 5 seconds.

Unlike Reddit?

This is probably the best upside of running a semi-private/personal instance. While I’ve taken steps to overpopulate /all it’s still doesn’t contain any garbage communities. If one happens to slip through it’s a quick fix to eradicate it.

Tallies are maintained in the db in real-time. No calculating needed

Well said.

It worked!

While the Lemmy UI doesn't expose the data is available via the API. That's how clients like Memmy are getting it.

Apparently "something" goofed things up with regards to the tallies with the 18.1 updates. Noticed a script that reconciled things published to Lemmy Support this morning for a short-term fix. Whether there will be a great reconciliation baked in to the system or not, in the future, remains to be seen.

Fantastic!

Apparently something in the 18.1 upgrades made a mess of it. I noticed someone providing a script to fix up the databases this morning

Interesting. I never would've considered that since I only sort by New. Can neither confirm nor deny because I can't read Rust.

Agreed. I'm not immune to the rush of seeing a post take off as a bonus reward for contributing. I also find it helpful in communties that deal in factual information as a loose system of trustworthiness.

Lack of karma is a fallacy. The default Lemmy UI doesn't display it but the karma system appears to be fully built.

Maybe consider altering your links so that they point to the /instances pages of each site so that people can go directly to the list of federated and defederated instances for each. Likely there are people who haven't yet discovered that page.

Are they actually claiming to be the same person? I don’t see any actual impersonation.

Getting your own domain doesn’t require you to host your own email. You can simply use forwarding to route your email to Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud or any other mail service that has reasonable spam filtering.

If you’re concerned that you VPS provider is replacing your certificates you need to find another provider.

You should also look in to certificate transparency monitoring. I get notified anytime a certificate gets issued for one of my domains.

That’s my point. AppCleaner isn’t magic. It’s killing off some known flotsam and making, essentially, educated guesses. It occasionally gets it wrong. Less frequently with suggesting removal of something it shouldn’t have and more often by not catching “everything”.

Apple doesn’t want to be involved with guessing games and run into the potential of getting it wrong. Microsoft doesn’t do it with Windows and none of major Linux distributions that I’m familiar with do it, under default conditions, either.
