lemmony: A better "All" browsing experience for small Lemmy instances (github.com)

I made this tool to help self-hosters, new admins, or smaller instances have more global and updated content on their instances.

This is the similar to Lemmy Community Seeder but is designed to be run periodically to capture new communities, and include EVERYTHING by default.

EDIT: As noted in the comments, this is an admin tool. Please do not run it as a user if you don't know what you are doing. If you want a better "All," ask your admin first! That said, lemmony in no way constitutes abuse! You can cause a DOS with curl, but that's not what curl was written for. This tool is to legitimately use an API to enhance our experience. Admins that desire to accommodate high volume on a public service will not know this tool is running against, or on their instances. If it causes performance issues, that is unfortunate. They are free to throttle, ban or block API access to their instance in a multitude of ways.

EDIT 2: Donate to your instance/admin if you like Lemmy!

Hmm. Could you help me debug https://nrsk.no/post/160040, since the image from post https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/481984 is hosted at https://nrsk.no/pictrs/image/e899afcc-83fa-481e-b9d4-f5e0e693c1e3.jpeg?

I would initially think the image was federated as per the system design but you obviously know more about how my instance works than I do.

Any tips will greatly appreciated, I also suggest you make a github report since this is a bug every lemmy instance seems to struggle with.

There is some discussion. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2947

I am still fairly confident that it shouldn't be storing images, but I'll admit my pict-rs directory is growing quite fast compared to the database. Have to keep a close eye on this.

If the lead developers discusses this not as a bug but an inconvenience then there's nothing I can ever say or show you to ever convince you otherwise.

Enjoy your non-proxying Lemmy experience - Since your pict-rs directory is growing but not due to your instance caching images it's probably the docker log bug that was discussed over a year ago.

I'm not convinced either one of us knows what the software is SUPPOSED to do, and I am pretty sure nobody knows what it's actually doing. Here's another thread: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3163
