The hate Americans get for not catering discussion on a US based site to the global community is really what’s strange.
I just want y’all to stop saying shit like “oh xyz is like 20$ right now” like it’s just as cheap everywhere else in the world.
I’m boring and I shitpost and tech-post all over the place. Big fan of Ea-nāṣir.

This is why I never bother with any “easy install” scripts of any kind. Give me a list of Docker images, a list of environment variables / config files, and some form of reverse proxy configuration and I’ll figure out the rest. You don’t know how my server works better than I do.
I’m on Matrix and GoToSocial (both selfhosted).
I also made an alt on kbin which is probably where I’ll probably end up migrating the “serious” discussion to, so this account will really end up as my shitposting account just like it did back at Reddit.
I also have an account on Tildes under a different name and from a long time ago.
All of these are different enough that I end up checking on all of them quite regularly.
Oh and I have a Discord too but it just feels too overwhelming how fast most guilds (they’re not servers and I will die on this hill) move so I really use it to check for updates on shit like Sync’s Lemmy port instead of posting memes or whatever.
And finally: YouTube & WhatsApp. both of which are unescapeable. I’ve tried.
As for the ones I cut off: Facebook around 2015, Instagram since so long ago I forgot, got banned off Twitter several times, and I’m waiting until Reddit gives my GDPR export to bail from there as well.
Edit: Oh, they processed my GDPR export. Brb off to delete my account
Sure why not. Plenty of us have single user instances.
This needs to be on the Lemmy issue tracker on GitHub, not here. Someone must’ve already proposed something similar though.
Also, repeating comments on the same post. Obviously you don’t have to read all the comments if there are already hundreds of them. But if there are too many comments saying the exact same thing it just gets harder to read them all. So it would be nice if people would look whether the point they want to make maybe has been made already. They can increase that comment’s visibility by upvoting. No need to make other people read the same content multiple times and by that make it harder to read different comments.
This may be a little bit of an issue here as small instances (or frequently defederated instances) may not be aware of replies made on older comments. To see the whole reply chain of a comment you need to click the fediverse button (the rainbow star thingy on Lemmy web) and read the source. If people don’t do that they may legitimately not know that someone has replied with the exact thing they were about to reply with.
There are “questions about sex” and there are “men/women of reddit/lemmy, what’s the sexiest sex you ever sexed” being repeated every other day like on r/askreddit. I assume nobody would reject the occasional insightful sex questions.
(Funnily enough, the Cisco in-house messaging and video calling solution we use at my work, through which we also receive landline calls, is still running on XMPP to this day, so I sorta became a XMPP user after all…except I haven’t started this software in 10 months because fuck landline calls and we have better alternatives for chatting.)
XMPP is still chugging along on the backends of stuff like that. I’m not sure but I think WhatsApp has some XMPP in it still.
The most ironic one though is Jitsi, which is what Matrix uses/used (until they started working on Element Calls) to do video calls.
Thoughts, prayers, and getting the low hanging fruit down (disabling root login, ssh public keys, updates)
As long as .world doesn’t defederate them back, Beehaw can re-federate whenever they want.
I started dual booting Linux back when Steam for Linux was reasonably new and Portal 2’s native port was on beta. Briefly went back to Windows after building a new, much powerful system for about a year, DXVK & later on Proton happened, and now all the games I care about work flawlessly.
There have been games on my Steam library that I never ran on Windows despite them not officially supporting Linux.
With the deck I seriously hope devs slowly but surely start thinking about native ports as well, but I won’t mind waiting another - uhh, 10?! - years for that to happen. I expect Steam Linux Runtime & Flatpak to be the DXVK & Proton of native ports - as in, the thing that will make them “viable” instead of “theoretically possible”. Win32 is still the most stable ABI on Linux after all.
Completely unrelated but I’m surprised how well Firefox Nightly’s built-in translations worked here. Despite being made just by a few universities, working completely offline, and not having any AI bullshit or Google’s infinite money and experience it was still comprehensible enough to understand.
In theory, it should work with all of them, but in practice it’s messy and clunky as all of them use ActivityPub in subtly different ways, with their own extensions and quirks.
Also Lemmy versions pre 0.18 (i want to say, unsure) won’t work with GoToSocial or Mastodon instances with secure mode enabled. The recent versions should though.
I used to mess around with CSS and even made some reasonably popular themes (not under this username ofc) so I had like 4 private subs.
There seems to be a fair bit of admins who just run the Lemmy Ansible installer expecting to magically have an instance, and having no idea what they’re getting themselves into.
I wonder how many small Lemmy instances exist right now that have SSH password auth (or god forbid root login of any kind) enabled.
.social + .online are the mastodon equivalents of lemmy.ml, except they’ve been through several mass migrations already so they kinda know what they’re doing
.world is (perhaps un)surprisingly the mastodon equivalent of lemmy.world, same admin and all
but tbf https://joinmastodon.org is so much more polished than join-lemmy that it’s actually worth going through instead of just piling on the largest
!gamedeals@lemmy.world and !gamedeals@lemmy.blahaj.zone would be the “proper” way to link AFAIK
To be fair, PHP has slowly been getting it’s shit together since PHP 7, and 8 seems to be in a reasonably great shape compared to the horrors of 5.6
Microservices aren’t a silver bullet. There’s likely quite a lot that can be done until we need to split some parts out, and once that happens I expect that federation would be the thing to split out as that’s one of the more “active” parts of the app compared to logins and whatnot.
.ml disabled community creation. There isn’t much you can do except creating an account at a different instance (and creating your community there)
