I was, but with it being a mostly media heavy update, I wanted to put it off a bit. I’ll look into it soon and maybe 0.19.5 as well. We may use image proxying in the future. This comment is mostly talking about new moderating tools. https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements

Is there a GitHub issue for this?

0.18.1 exists

If the bigger instance has to push/pull in data from you personal communities because they sub to it, then yes. 1 person not using your front end isn’t going to change much.

it was me… i said that :)

“Allowed Hosts” is white listing btw. You should leave it blank if you want more than just lemmy.world and lemmy.ml

And I wouldn’t say it reduces the load on those sites. It would kind of add to them in a way if you post from your instance or sub from your instance solo. If it’s just you on your instance, it’s barely a blip. May save them some photo hosting if you post.

SOME of the out of sync upvotes/comments are fixed in 0.18.1

I believe some things are populated by your hostname in the lemmy configs so straight IP may break a few things.

There’s a few things listed here to do: https://www.kb6nu.com/will-we-lose-the-2m-band/

Also this is the agenda for the meeting. Skimmed it but didn’t see which one pertains to this issue https://www.itu.int/wrc-23/wrc-23-agenda/

Active member but I can’t check the results. I always have issues with the ARRL website tho lol

I think it’s just a general situation. A lot of the “big instances” are having a lot of issues right now with federating correctly. Comments, counts, votes are all off on most instances it seems.

There are a few github issues you can find/follow. It’s supposed to be addressed a bit better int 0.18.1

I started on Twitter in 2008 when you had to SMS to tweet. This downtime since musk started is ridiculous. Glad I moved to mastodon.

Defederating and outright banning other instances has become an issue at https://lemmy.radio for sure. You have to stay up on the issues that other instances create. Your example of a net control station is spot on.

I think we’re fortunate as a broader amateur radio “community” that we understand how to police ourselves.
