Agreed. Sh.itjust.works has plenty of interesting communities, pressing the big red button for just one name seems a bit overkill.

Well at least you didn't make an account on lemmy.world and are instead enjoying the beauty of federation. Yeah, you get a pass.

This. Defed is not the magic weapon that will solve all your problems. Captcha and email filters should be on by default though.

Upvoting this post from Connect for Lemmy. Actually I think I still prefer Jerboa. Unfortunately it has stopped working since I updated my instance to 0.18 so this will have to do for now.

Fun fact: while not being exactly like what karma was on Reddit, Lemmy does store the total count of upvotes-downvotes your account has received. You probably can't see it because it isn't shown by the frontend (the website you see), but the data is indeed there.

Oh I wasn't aware of this. Very tempting. Now I lowkey wish they miss the deadline on one of the six accounts I requested the data for, so I can do some European style trolling.

I'm here from all, sorting by hot. Please, proceed to shit.

Also this kinds of bets don't really work on Lemmy unless you linit yourself to local, which is a lame thing to do.

Same lol. I managed to break both my community as well as the entire instance by messing with those settings. The UI could be a bit more user friendly on that imo.

Right now the language selector has become the part of the admin UI that no one on my team is allowed to touch, under death threath, lmao.

They look great, thanks for sharing! I'm "stealing" these for my instance, can't wait to see the 0.18.0 implementation.

Ansible guide. I didn't follow this one myself but the guy who set up my instance said it was pretty easy

...or join a smaller instance.

1. I'd say the suggested practice is going with smaller instances (i.e. anything that isn't lemmy.ml or even worse lemmy.world). But sure, if you want to spin up a custom instance that would be even better. You'd have the advantage of being able to customize your experience a lot more (changing themes, editing the code to fix stuff you don't like, managing your own emojis...)

2. I'd say around 10€ a month. My instance pays around that (maybe a little more, can't remember) and we have over 100 users. It's really not that expensive.

3. You become a mega janny. You have to draft server wide rules, appoint mods and make sure they don't screw up by letting banned content through. Depending on your country's laws and where your instance is hosted, you might risk hosting illegal stuff for which you as an admin would be liable.

Others have already replied to 4. and 5. so I'm not going to make this wall of text any longer.

Same, since I updated my instance to 0.18 Jerboa doesn't work and instantly crashes.

When did you submit your request? I sent mine on the 22nd and they still haven't replied. I'm thinking of reporting them to my country's privacy authority if they don't comply before 22/07.

It's actually pretty easy on the admin side, there's a guide on the lemmy docs and all of that. If the beehaw admins saw this they could add it without too much trouble.

How about more pets in general? Gimme those pet turtle and pet spiders content

Huh interesting. I'm pretty new to this but I'll have a look.

Usually I'm not too fond of metalcore, I'm more of a metal guy, but damn these guys are great.

I second this request. Your theme looks great and I'd love to include it in my instance.

Bless! I really like this layout, it's great. Thanks for sharing.

I like it so much that I could consider including it as the default for the lemmy instance I am building.

LMAO this game is amazing. I got to rule 25 with this bad boy

but fucking Paul starved as I was converting all the vowels to bold. If anyone's wondering why there's a link in there, rule 24 required you to put the URL of a YT video with a duration of exactly 11 minutes and four seconds. Will probably be different for you, if you try it.
