Andrew Yoon 600ae662a5 Support plain cargo test and disable unused doctests for speed
Since DB tests execute diesel migrations automatically, concurrent
execution causes flaky failures from simultaneous migrations. This can
be worked around using `cargo test --workspace -- --test-threads=1`,
which is what the CI config does, but this is not intuitive for
newcomer developers and unnecessarily slows down the test suite for
the majority of tests which are safe to run concurrently. This fixes
this issue by integrating with the small test crate `serial_test` and
using it to explicitly mark DB tests to run sequentially while
allowing all other tests to run in parallel.

Additionally, this greatly improves the speed of `cargo test` by
disabling doc-tests in all crates, since these are aren't currently
used and cargo's doc-test pass, even when no doc-tests exist, has
significant overhead. On my machine, this change significantly
improves test suite times by about 85%, making it much more practical
to develop with tools like `cargo watch` auto-running tests.

About The Project

Desktop Mobile
desktop mobile

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, 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
