    Can confirm as a swede almost everybody knows english ^^ Most exchange students at the university I studied at had issues learning the language as everybody just defaulted to speaking english with them. The people I know also don’t really care about Swedish either, not very nationalistic in that sense.















  • Smaller instances cannot be trusted to have good uptime. For me I have to go down if there is a thunderstorm, need to unplug everything >.< So would need to save individual data to 2-3 smaller instances for it to be reliable.

    I hope there might be a community and user transfer functionality. Could spread the load over the currently well hosted but low pop instances. Right now you need to stick with the instance you choose for all eternity :< forever and ever


  • From my understanding a instance will only interact with posts and comments (store them) when a user on that instance does. So just federating with a older instance that has a large back catalogue does not mean it will flood the small instance.

    Side note about images. They seem to only ever be saved locally on the server it was uploaded to. So custom emojis like link will not be saved on for example lemmy.ml (here). Only on my self hosted instance. Perhaps if a post is really popular and I link a self hosted image like that, it might put strain on my host to deliver this image though. Worst case just my small instance will go down and the link will be stale.

    Side-side note: I might want to make all emojis smaller so that they both fit in the text better and put less strain on my host.
