Thoughts on the use of geographic domains for vanity purposes? I know that's come up recently as a topic of concern (including with lemmy, specifically), and personally, it seems like it's both extremely widespread and also maybe shouldn't have become super widespread given the actual implications.

Why is selfhosted Docker such a mess?
And following up: since Lemmy-easy-deploy is so… well… easy, can’t you make that official as well?
Have an advance option where one could configure everything and one where all is done and automatically works for the somewhat less technical admins?

A bit technical question: how do you manage to build performant comment trees on frontend?
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/main/src/shared/utils/app/build-comments-tree.ts
The scaling / actual trees are done using postgres ltree in the back-end, with a path field representing a list of parent comment ids.

What's your oppinion on lemmy being used by a few hundreds of people for quite some time and then recently exploding overnight with new instances and tens of thousands of new users. That certeinly changed some things...

I recently submitted a PR for stopping pictrs image federation. IMO the images themselves do not need to be downloaded when served by another pictrs instance. This would reduce the amount of diskspace and reduce the burden of hosting images that are unwanted by the instance owners.
What are your thoughts on this, and do you think this will be merged? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3799
Since the release of Sync for Lemmy, some servers (like Lemmy.world for example) are down quite often, probably because of a huge influx of users. Will something be done about the big increase in down-time across Lemmy servers, and if so, how will that problem be dealt with in the near and far future?
Thank you.

@dessalines yesterday, I asked around about the desired improvements to Lemmy and @bmp replied that conversation flows could be improved. Threads or comments aren't always explicitly showed and makes the user unsure about how to actually interact in the conversation.
Also, what are your next points on the roadmap? (If you have one)

First of all, thanks for the great work!
How's the onboarding of the new contributors going? I assume suddenly getting a huge influx of eager contributors might create a lot of fun "problems" that software developers don't usually get in their day jobs.
Related to that, besides the contributor docs on join-lemmy, is there any recommended reading before getting down to work on starting to contribute (already made or in the works)? I've been looking into helping out and getting better at Rust in the process.
