Federation async (#848) 
* Asyncify more

* I guess these changed

* Clean PR a bit

* Convert more away from failure error

* config changes for testing federation

* It was DNS

So actix-web's client relies on TRust DNS Resolver to figure out
where to send data, but TRust DNS Resolver seems to not play nice
with docker, which expressed itself as not resolving the name to
an IP address _the first time_ when making a request. The fix was
literally to make the request again (which I limited to 3 times
total, and not exceeding the request timeout in total)

* Only retry for connecterror

Since TRust DNS Resolver was causing ConnectError::Timeout,
this change limits the retry to only this error, returning
immediately for any other error

* Use http sig norm 0.4.0-alpha for actix-web 3.0 support

* Blocking function, retry http requests

* cargo +nightly fmt

* Only create one pictrs dir

* Don't yarn build

* cargo +nightly fmt

About The Project

Front Page Post
main screen chat screen

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, Raddle, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.

For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere.

The overall goal is to create an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative to reddit and other link aggregators, outside of their corporate control and meddling.

Each lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.

Note: Federation is still in active development and the WebSocket, as well as, HTTP API are currently unstable

Why's it called Lemmy?
