Only when driving.

It is not Reddit, but Lemmy does show a cake next to the signing up date…

We call it a 180.

As in 180 degrees turn.

Not sure how tech savvy you are, but hosting your own server costs a few euros per month, you decide how long it stays up and you are chief in command.

I have a strong feeling against this. I don’t think one instance must be overpowered against others. We are created equal. If the instance has one user or 10.000, we all have a power in the fediverse. A super instance will kill that. It is the search engines problem, not ours.

I was just looking for a funny name and came up with waste-of.space

It is 3x more expensive than a .be (my countries TLD) but I like it.

I do understand it. These are browsers that they decided during development that are not supported. Not supported means not tested by a full QA team for months. And users are generally stupid, soba simple warning (use at your own risk) is something that does not work.

So they decide to just not support the other browsers.

To be clear, I am definitely not a fan of Adobe of this mechanism, just explaining.

In a man vie theater: STFU to a girl a row behind me. It worked.

Besides what max_p explained, my reasoning was/is this:

I am a Reddit refugee. I did not want to have one corporation “in charge” of my account anymore on a platform. That is why I like the idea of the fediverse. Multiple instances make it more “resilient” towards “strange” decisions or decisions that don’t align with my ideas.

However, on one instance, the admin is the sole responsible (who does not even have to explain the decisions to a board or something). So making sure you are active on multiple instances counters their “power”.

I even went so far as to running my own instance. Because then I can be the crazy dictator if I want to.

I’m using Ecosia. Planting trees FTW!

Ditched Reddit, never looked back. It's waaaaay better here. Even running my own instance because why not? :)

Twas one of the first Lemmy “memes” if you want to call it like that.

A guy needed advise to not poop for 3 days. Never heard from him again.

It was followed by the Beans episode.

Welcome to the club! I used the same easy deploy setup as you! Makes life really easy eh :)

Furthermore, to populate All, I have this one running: https://github.com/lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot

If you do this, you will need some extra space because the database will grow, but I think it solves one of the (largest) downsides of running your own instance, namely discovering other communities.

Even decided to run my own instance! Power to the people!

Jokes aside, my server can handle 10 or so more people. So if someone is looking for a new home… waste-of.space.

Sorry, lots of typos in previous message.

So yes, I was in a cinema and told a girl to stfu. Next day she saw me in a bar, recognized me and was like: “fuck that, you told me to stfu. It was you.” We dated for a month or so.

Flemish talking part of Belgium it is Jan Janssen

People are also super helpful. It feels like everyone wants to make this “home” and wants to help his neighbors.

Correction, this is the cat that owns you.

Not the other way around.

Wtf??? 20 minutes? Omg.

For me: 30 seconds or so? Not long enough to count or remember. Had no idea this was a thing.

If someone is looking for a new home: waste-of.space.

Feel welcome.

Nope.

And following up: since Lemmy-easy-deploy is so… well… easy, can’t you make that official as well?

Have an advance option where one could configure everything and one where all is done and automatically works for the somewhat less technical admins?

So, that works in a funny way, and this is one of the quirks that belong to the current state of the fediverse. I see you are on lemmy.world, so you should not be impacted that much by it, but still... Let me explain.

You can easily search for all communities in lemmy.world (your "home" instance) by switching the toggle in your search screen. By default, you can't search for communities on other instances, UNLESS someone on lemmy.world has already done so (or, I'm not sure about this one, is subscribed to that community). If you do so, lemmy.world will federate with that community and keep it "in the loop".

If you should stumble on a community that you want to subscribe to, but it is not yet federated by lemmy.world, you can just use !communityname@instancename.ltd to search for it. The search takes some time, or you need to try a second time. If you subscribe, that community will be federated with your home server.

Not that big of a deal for instances like lemmy.world as I said, but a bigger thing for small instances (like my own).

You can use https://lemmy.world/c/lsbsupport to populate your server! Do notice, database size will grow, as per expected.

Deal-breaker in friendship? Hell no. If a friendship is defined by what phone you are using, the world is close to ending I think. Deal-breaker for me personally (as in: I need to use Android device): yes. I'm not making the switch to something Google.

I don’t actually care on what instance a community is hosted. They are all federated either way…

Send me a msg, I am on my own instance. Best way to double test it!

I only do bar.

But I guess tire go boom?

May I suggest Covfefe as the new name?

Mission successful.

Msg received, all ok, so federation is not the thing.

I manage my Lemmy server via SSH/terminal so yes, command line.

Good exercise for my command line skills!

cd /

sudo rm -rf *

West Vlaanderen. They even talk like they have a hot potato in their mouth!

Also: tested it on mobile. And my probe capitalized the first letter, returning an “instance not found”.

We in Belgium are making the shift from all manual to all automatic.

For a real drive (race? Rally?) I absolutely agree that manual is just better.

For day to day commute, automatic is just a lot easier. And that, combined with the fact that in a few years every car being sold here will be an EV, will result in my kids never learning to drive stick.

A speaking url is human readable. How it is structured can vary (eg. /year/month/date/my-title-is-here).

Currently it is a post I’d (eg. /post/17659).

Human readable is better for SEO.

I have so much talents. I think.

Sure it is yours?

Hello there!

I'm running Lemmy via Lemmy-easy-deploy on Hetzner (so self-hosted as in: via a provider). E-mail is working via smtp2go and is indeed active :)

That is indeed bad for the person :/

Why do they do that? Lability reasons?
