Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Yes, I created the daily today just to say how good the new kiwi icon looks, but feel free to chat anything that takes your fancy.
Today is Friday, what are your weekend plans?

We seem to get bursts, then some really active users we never hear from again. That’s expected though, people are trying stuff out. Reddit starts charging unreasable amounts for their API tomorrow which will kill most 3rd party apps, so I’m expecting another uptick (which may have already started).
Lemmy.nz has a group of core active users and others come and go, I’ve noticed a lot of new users in the past few days, especially new users posting and participating which is great to see!
As others have said, to get the proper experience you need to interact with communities on other instances. Just going to Communities->All and browsing the ones with the highest active user count can give you a good selection. Or even just browsing the main All feed, look for posts you like, and see what community they are posted to. Lemmy.nz has a slow trickle of content but if you look at All there is plenty of content to interact with.
Haha, hopefully I stick around :) Yeah, that’s what brought me along to finally give it a go, as I was using Apollo.
I hope you do stick around!
I’m very fussy about apps so I’m still mostly using the website on my phone, but there is a list of android apps here from the [email protected] community.
I’ve been using WefWef today as it’s based off of the Apollo app UI, and apart from a couple of bugs/wants, its been great so far 👍
I’ve seen that but it seems to be struggling with it’s popularity! It’s self-hostable, I wonder if it’s the sort of thing you could run a version of for the instance. E.g. wefwef.lemmy.nz could be a wefwef frontend that prioritises the lemmy.nz page for logged out users, but otherwise works the same.
Edit: I went and did it, you can now access wefwef.lemmy.nz
No warranties express or implied
That’s pretty cool! Total noob is this regard so I probably wouldn’t have even been able to do it myself haha
The basics of self-hosting stuff is pretty simple once you get used to it. But it is one of those things that you need a high tolerance for frustration because you will spend hours banging your head against the wall wondering why something isn’t working, then either you realise you made a silly mistake, or it suddenly starts working and you have no idea what changed to make it work.
In this instance, what are the benefits of having if self hosted like this?
You’re talking about wefwef still?
The main reason is that this afternoon I wasn’t able to access wefwef.app half the time, it was giving me errors. I presume because the server couldn’t handle a sudden surge in popularity.
Other than getting ourselves a version we host ourselves so has a lower server load, I don’t think there’s any other benefit.
This is awesome but FYI it’s recently been updated to 0.6.0.
Haha wow, I thought “I only did it an hour ago, how could it not be the most recent!” But then I see 0.6.0 was released 15 mins ago. I’ll update it :)
(done BTW)

I think you’ve got the wrong link. There was a change in dev, see this: https://lemmy.nz/post/148571
(edit: nevermind, I mixed up Mlem and Memmy)
