I've noticed that the most current post here was 22 days ago. Is Mlem still being developed?

BTW, I'm one of the Beehaw admins. Several users have reached out to me because they love Mlem so much.

EDIT: I just noticed a few comments from one of the Mlem developers here.

I am one of the admins of Beehaw and I'm trying to get some feedback on our potential move.

Let's start out with a little Beehaw history before judgements are passed, please.

A handful of us were beta testing Tildes when we decided to have discussions on a Discord server.

We decided that our 'Northern Star' or guiding principle would culminate as 'Be Nice' with purposefully vague/flexible interpretations. Our overall goal is to provide a safe space to disenfranchised persons.

We talked for a little over a year and some of our members became impatient. Then someone stepped in to suggest a couple of platforms that we could consider getting started with.

One of those platforms was Lemmy. None of us knew, at that time, anything about ActivityPub.

During the Reddit exodus (surrounding the API outcry and blackout), our instance exploded. We were, initially, crippled by the mass amounts of users seeking refuge.

Thankfully, someone stepped in and volunteered hundreds of hours of work to stabilize our instance and refine it further.

After many hours of talks, it became clear to us that our overall goal could be achieved outside of Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Right now, we feel that Lemmy and ActivityPub have downsides that are limiting us from achieving that goal.

We've received a lot of reports about Android apps no longer working at Beehaw.org. About an hour ago Sync pushed an update that solved this issue. I use Mlem and can confirm that Mlem 1.0.1 does not load Beehaw.org.

I am one of the Beehaw admins...we received a message from your team via another Beehaw admin.

There are some people that are considering working on better mod tools.

See: https://discuss.online/post/12787

Let me know if I can be of further service.

I've been beta testing your app from almost the beginning. Thank you.

I'm the sysadmin for beehaw.org and our user-base has almost tripled in 24 hours. Our site has been crashing so much over this time period.

We do have some volunteers that are trying to figure out a reasonable solution for when this happens again four weeks from now.

Do you have any recommendations?

I've gotten feedback from some moderators and the other two administrators at Beehaw.

The first is to "feature" or "pin" posts whether that is local to the community or site-wide.

The second is to approve registration applications.

My understanding is that Mastodon, Pleroma and Lemmy can connect with each other using ActivityPub.

Are there other platforms that share this same interconnection?

I am brand new to mobile gaming lol.

I have done some searching around but I'm unable to find anything that suits my interests.

I prefer games that are MMORPG or RPG the most (recently uninstalled Diablo Immortal for many reasons). However, I am open to any and all suggestions.

It's my, general, understanding that most people connect to the Internet through mobile apps.

If this is the case, then why have apps such as Remmel, Lemmur and jerboa taken a back seat?

IMHO, it would be a mistake to market Lemmy without these mobile apps functioning properly.

I have forked the three aforementioned mobile apps here and will try to 'drum up' support from developers wherever I can find them.

Please, if you don't feel comfortable talking to me about this here, then send me a private message. Thank you.

We just launched our instance at https://beehaw.org not too long ago.

However, a good number of people have been asking questions like this for the past several days on our Discord server.

P.S. - I will have a big surprise (hopefully...if all goes well) for the Lemmy community in March.

Current lemmy.hjson configuration file (with or without the closing bracket...both do not work):

{
  # the domain name of your instance (eg "lemmy.ml")
  hostname: "beehaw.org"
  # Settings related to activitypub federation
  federation: {
    # Whether to enable activitypub federation.
    enabled: true
    # Allows and blocks are described here:
    # https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/federation/administration.html///instance-allowlist-and-blocklist
    #
    # list of instances with which federation is allowed
    allowed_instances: [
      lemmy.ca
      midwest.social
      /* ... */
    ]
    # Instances which we never federate anything with (but previously federated objects are unaffected)
    blocked_instances: [
      string
      /* ... */
    ]
    # If true, only federate with instances on the allowlist and block everything else. If false
    # use allowlist only for remote communities, and posts/comments in local communities
    # (meaning remote communities will show content from arbitrary instances).
    strict_allowlist: true
    }
}

So, my instance is connecting from a secured HTTPS and the lemmy connection is attempting to connect to an unsecured HTTP.
