Actually he needs a developer to disable federation. It’s on be l by default and to my knowledge there is no way to disable it.

Hot and active are currently broken and will show stale content. It’s a Lemmy thing not a Jerboa thing. I’m hoping they fix this in the upcoming version that’s in testing right now.

The purpose of life is whatever you make it. Some people feel their purpose is to make as much money as they can, others to create art that will last for all time.

There is no one purpose to life. There’s no cosmic point to it all, so we all just find out purpose.

For me, my purpose is to find happiness. I suffer from depression so that’s my one goal. I find making people laugh makes me happy, so now I do a podcast where I make people laugh most of the time.

Yeah my #1 issue is how hard it is to find communities to follow. I think it’s why so many communities are just started on lemmy.ml since it has the best chance to get users on there or Beehaw.

Software engineer here. Historically we started not hard-deleting anything because sometimes software does bad things and we never want to accidentally delete anything that could be important since then the only way to undo it is to restore the database from a backup. So it’s better/safer to literally not allow the application to ever delete anything from the database.

That being said, I could see an option in ActivityPub to delete comments, but with the distributed nature of Lemmy you would have to trust every server you federate with to listed to the protocol and delete the comments too since they are stored on the other servers as well.
