I've noticed that the most current post here was 22 days ago. Is Mlem still being developed?

BTW, I'm one of the Beehaw admins. Several users have reached out to me because they love Mlem so much.

EDIT: I just noticed a few comments from one of the Mlem developers here.

I am one of the admins of Beehaw and I'm trying to get some feedback on our potential move.

Let's start out with a little Beehaw history before judgements are passed, please.

A handful of us were beta testing Tildes when we decided to have discussions on a Discord server.

We decided that our 'Northern Star' or guiding principle would culminate as 'Be Nice' with purposefully vague/flexible interpretations. Our overall goal is to provide a safe space to disenfranchised persons.

We talked for a little over a year and some of our members became impatient. Then someone stepped in to suggest a couple of platforms that we could consider getting started with.

One of those platforms was Lemmy. None of us knew, at that time, anything about ActivityPub.

During the Reddit exodus (surrounding the API outcry and blackout), our instance exploded. We were, initially, crippled by the mass amounts of users seeking refuge.

Thankfully, someone stepped in and volunteered hundreds of hours of work to stabilize our instance and refine it further.

After many hours of talks, it became clear to us that our overall goal could be achieved outside of Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Right now, we feel that Lemmy and ActivityPub have downsides that are limiting us from achieving that goal.

We've received a lot of reports about Android apps no longer working at Beehaw.org. About an hour ago Sync pushed an update that solved this issue. I use Mlem and can confirm that Mlem 1.0.1 does not load Beehaw.org.

I am one of the Beehaw admins...we received a message from your team via another Beehaw admin.

There are some people that are considering working on better mod tools.

Let me know if I can be of further service.

I've been beta testing your app from almost the beginning. Thank you.

I'm the sysadmin for beehaw.org and our user-base has almost tripled in 24 hours. Our site has been crashing so much over this time period.

We do have some volunteers that are trying to figure out a reasonable solution for when this happens again four weeks from now.

Do you have any recommendations?

I've gotten feedback from some moderators and the other two administrators at Beehaw.

The first is to "feature" or "pin" posts whether that is local to the community or site-wide.

The second is to approve registration applications.

Are there reliable statistics that show this?

I'm trying to get an idea rolling for a mobile app that could handle the most used platforms on the Fediverse.

For example, let's assume that Mastodon, Lemmy and Peertube turned out to be the most used platforms on the Fediverse. Would people be interested in a mobile app that could properly integrate all of these?

We've disabled downvotes at Beehaw and this issue was addressed/fixed for some time. However, as you can see, downvotes are getting through again.

I believe that I remember this being an added option with the Lemmy 0.17.2 release. However, I'm unable to find this option.

When I'm logged out I can see everything as it's supposed to be. However, when I'm logged in as one of the admins of our instance, then there are entire communities that are empty and some post comments are not visible.

It's not just Beehaw but several other instances are missing from the Join a server page.

Was this caused by the bot/crawler not being updated to handle the new Lemmy version?

I'm assuming that this link is only available to instance admins? What, precisely, happens when this link is clicked?
