Just another app point of data: Racoon For Lemmy still works with 18.4. It's been my favorite lemmy app since starting to use it.

4th gen I7 was like what? 9 years ago... How dare they!

I look forward to my beef stroganoff notifications daily.

To add on to that. Their enhance playlists or similar songs found at the bottom of your playlist page can be really relevant and I've learned about a ton of new artists that way.

I like ipas. Citra is my hop. I'm sorry my preferences of drink is annoying to you.

Tried on liftoff as well and it is not working.

Just a random data point. This is my first time logging back into my beehaw account in a long time. Beehaw was my original lemmy instance and I really enjoyed the foundational ideals and communities the founders envisioned. I logged back in today because even on my main account on another instance, I'm so tired of all the terrible bigotry that I see in my all feed.

I personally really like the Lemmy interface as a user especially in an app, mobile browsing or desktop with certain browser add-ons. I know as a someone with their own instance (not my main account ref earlier) that the mod,sysadmin and dev work to keep it running is a lot. I too have database issues that I am super frustrated by. The mod tools are pretty much non existent.

With that said, I think that the whitelist may a viable option. The content needing moderated is likely mostly from federated instances. If beehaw were to isolate it's community or whitelist to a few trusted instances one would imagine the mod work would be lesser even with the minimal tools available. Purge the old content and continue forward as a community isolated but together in their goal to create a kind and friendly community.

Just my thoughts. I appreciate you beehaw admins.
