  • I believe this is the right answer. Additionally, one character in CJK languages represents a single syllable, so you get less line breaks per word. For example the world “union” can be transliterated to Korean as 유니온. Writing that vertically takes 5 lines in English (one line per letter), but only 3 lines in Korean:

    유 니 온













  • Lemmy puts up full-page advertisements for donations but a lot of that funding goes to running Lemmy.ml and seemingly only very little to actual code development.

    Please stop spreading misinformation. The server for lemmy.ml only costs ~70€ per month which is only 2% of the total donation amount (3336€). With Lemmy we care a lot about writing high-quality and bug-free code as well as offering a good user experience. All of that takes time to do well.

    Edit: For your information, only donations via Opencollective pay for lemmy.ml hosting. All other donation methods are exclusively paying for developer salaries.






  • While JSON-LD is part of the ActivityPub specification, Lemmy doesnt use it at all (and afaik neither do Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube etc). Instead Lemmy uses JSON and Piefed is probably the same. We do provide the JSON-LD definitions which that comment complains about, but they have also often been incomplete.

    Honestly I dont even know which Fediverse software uses JSON-LD. It doesnt seem useful to know “there is something called an Accept activity” when you dont have the UI logic to display them.
