As a dad, I think about this fact so much.

I still feel just like a kid with no clue about everything, but I still have to do stuff, because I'm responsible for my own kids now.

Jokes aside, this is very concerning. And sad. Humanity will never be able to pull on one string.

They make feet smell? Huh? They're comfortable and air-y. No smelly feet.

This is my small instance with way fewer users than lemmy.world.

You could disable NSFW in your profile or use a service like lemmyverse.net to find communities to subscribe to.

Me, who didn't join one of the huge instances, instead hosting his own instance: "Why is everyone complaining? Lol."

Delicious tears!

I don't get why lemmy.world doesn't close signups until they ironed out the issues. In the last 2-3 days, my feed was pretty much full of people whining about "Lemmy performance" and almost everyone was from lemmy.world.

Why not just sign up with one of the other instances? I said it and will say it again: This is a federated system. It doesn't matter much which instance you register an account with. I run my own public instance and I see all the content without having issues at all.

join-lemmy.org should be revised to not suggest big instances all the time. It should be shuffled. This will cause a bad user experience for everyone and people will think this is Lemmy's fault in general.

Sure. This is not Reddit. 🤤

That's baffling you? The majority of resources are on reddit right now and - unfortunately - people don't care to move elsewhere. They just want their links and answers to questions that have been asked and answered 10,000 times and that's it.

Again: Unfortunately.

I thought I was alone with that feeling. I'm in exactly the same boat as you.

For me, it's a tiny bit different, because I played BOTW shortly before my daughther was born in 2017. I still had time for games like that back in the day. Now I don't only have a daughter, but a son as well.

When I grab the controller and start playing something time intensive like BOTW and now TOTK, I usually feel really guilty really quick, because there are so many other things to do, that in theory should have a higher priority.

GeometricWeather isn't maintained any more. Check out it's fork BreezyWeather.

LOL no.

My instance uses a seeder script that'll do exactly that, but automated. It'll check the most popular communities on the most popular servers and use an account to subscribe to them.

Boom, /all feed populated.

LibreTube. Uses Piped as backend and has pretty much all the features that NewPipe has, including SponsorBlock.

You can create an account on one of the numerous Piped instances and log in with LibreTube, to have things synced. Since Piped is open source, you can even selfhost it, if you know how. My Lemmy instance (FOSSware) also has a Piped instance.

Obtanium.

Wow, whoever wrote this doesn't have a clue about systemd, Firefox, Librewolf or whatever. I stopped reading after a while. Couldn't stand it.

In case anyone has moral issues with migrating to Lemmy vs Kbin, check this out. So yea, turns out the dude stole a lot of code from other projects and people.

Wow, very condemning... He apologized and said he was gonna make it right, so where's the problem? Also, comparing apples and eggs here. "Stealing" code VS. human rights issues / tankies...

I plan to implement a systemd timer that truly drops data from the database that was marked as "deleted" after around 30 days. I also have a note up that says to contact me if a copy of stored data has to be requested, etc.

I'm not sure what to think about that instance. I saw some weird stuff in the mod protocol recently, if I remember correctly... Like some drama going on, etc.

The experience has been pretty good, to be honest. No instability, easy updates, etc. I find federated content quite quickly, because I use this script to populate the "All" feed.

That's why I use Kagi. It's a paid search engine and the results are actually really good.

CCP has it's hands everywhere, unfortunately. There are even "Chinese police stations" in western countries. Saw a documentary in the German language recently about a chinese citizen in Germany recieving death threats by such police on a regular basis.

Hey, black cat! From the screenshots, your app looks very promising. Would you consider making it FOSS, though? Just asking.

I run an open instance for everyone. The name (FOSSware) suggests that it's for people interested in FOSS (free and open source software) only, but in the description, I specifically mentioned that it's an open instance for everyone, just like with lemmy.world and other popular instances.

I'm running this instance, because I love technology and I'm hosting a lot of stuff for my family, friends and I, as well as some public facing things already. It's a hobby.

Another reason why I'm doing it is that I just want to give back to the community, as I strongly believe that decentralized tech is the future. We were proven time and time again that centralized approaches, where only one entity is in control, is really bad for the userbase.

Well, there's this "mega"thread...

Hey, guys. Same thing here. Come on over, if you want. Let's spread the load!

We're also hosting privacy-respecting frontends for popular services, as well as Lemmy front-ends.

Anyone else got underutilized Lemmy instances?

I'd also suggest Immich, but with a warning. On their GitHub page, they state:

Did anyone actually use this over a longer period of time, including updates, etc.? How did it work for you?

The first thing that'd come to my mind is free labor. Everyone can contribute to open source projects.

There are several scripts working like that. I use lcs (lemmy community seeder). I'm going to switch to something else or make my own, because lcs doesn't handle it well if an instance is overloaded or not available.

To me, it depends on how exactly the posts will look like.

I noticed that some communities have automated posts going on and my eyes pretty much automatically skip over them, because of their repetitive pattern, like for example a tag in front of the title. Not saying the bot posts should be indistinguishable, but that's just what my problem is.

Lemmy isn't hugged to death. The issue is that everyone is just heading to the same handful of instances.

Most internet users that started using the internet in the last 10 years or so think a centralized internet is a normal internet, they think domains rule the world. We need to teach them how this really works and how we don’t need to bend knee to people to communicate.

Which is funny, since federated systems have existed for a long time. Prime example would be e-mail. And people seem to mostly understand that.

Yes, you're right. I personally leave NSFW toggled on and go ahead to manually block every single community I don't want to see.

Never understood why Redditors "hate" emojis. Pretty stupid, if you ask me. So emoji away.

lol. *uses operating system with built-in firewall* *installs crapware 3rd party firewall*

I think, linking Reddit is not that much of a problem for me. However, I like to view Reddit posts through a privacy respecting frontend like Teddit, which - at the moment - still works.

The same post through Teddit: https://r.donttrackme.fossware.space/r/linux/comments/guklhr/we_are_the_devs_behind_lemmy_an_open_source/

wtf did I just read, lol.

... It's starting to look like a TRIPLE RAINBOW!

That's a pretty bad point you made there. Imagine having to google for each app on your smartphone and tell me how that's better.

What about the scammy search results that point to malware infected sites?

What about stability and security updates for the software you obtained that way? Every software will have it's own update mechanism, if there's one at all.

How is it not better to install or update all software on the computer with a single click or command?
