That's a real shame, because otherwise it looks like great software. I've got an offline instance sitting on AWS since last summer just waiting for any bit of progress, but gave up hope some time ago.
Keep up the great work, you have an incredible product.

There are so many notable tech people on HN, it would be useful to be able to recognize their posts and comments.
The search results are, ime, superior to Google, and it's great to be able to remove one more Google product from my life. The quality of the reviews sites that come up for product searches is night vs day.
The bang support is awesome (I use "I'm feeling lucky" daily) and I've been using the Universal Summarizer[0] more often lately. Customized promotion & demotion/blocking of domains is seamless and surfaces the content I'm trying to find.
Looking at using FastGPT[1] and Kagi Small Web[2] more. I wish they'd get their forum off of Discord and onto something open and indexable!

>Fidelity, one of Musk's equity co-investors, marked down the value of its Twitter shares by 61.43% through the end of August. Banks are expected to take a 15% discount on debt they've thus far been unable to unload, per the WSJ.

Think of all of the amazing, world changing, course-of-history altering things that could be done with $44 billion.
The one hold up we're waiting on is a functional automoderator. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a regex that can move posts/comments to a modqueue before they're publicly visible.
I spun up an EC2 instance with Lemmy's Ansible script a few months ago, but it's been sitting offline because trying to moderate tens of thousands of users without a bot is just plain foolish ime.
I check the repos every month or so, but there's been almost no movement on the automods, and unfortunately I don't think I have the time to build it myself.
Maine has a law, passed in 2021, that requires a disclosure for consumer products that contain PFAS.
I learned about it from this[0] article that says some businesses aren't happy because compliance is difficult and expensive, they claim, due to supply chain issues.

I stopped going to restaurants that charge those fees, but it's become so widespread that it can be a challenge to find any that don't at this point.
I've had a Lemmy instance for a niche hobby built and waiting to go live for months now, but I'm not going to subject myself to the headaches of fully manual moderation.
There are a few unofficial repos for Lemmy automod functionality, but last time I checked, they all appeared to be early alpha stage.
It seems like a glaring oversight by the core contributors, and I don't understand how it's not a top priority.
A separate "I'm feeling lucky" bang that directs to what would be the top ranked result, ignoring user-specific adjustments, would be a great feature.
