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.

So was 0.18.0. In fact I think the next few releases will all be like this.
(just cheekily testing to make sure federation didn’t break between updates)
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.
Snikket (which is run by a Prosody dev) is aiming to be the “one app” of XMPP. Their Android version is, IIRC, rebranded Conversations. Not sure on iOS/macOS but I think they have something there as well. And of course their server software is Prosody with a few extra plugins configured by default. All FOSS
Oh yeah, I briefly tried Prosody/XMPP (before a domain scalper stole a previous domain of mine because of a loophole with the TLD i chose) and it worked really well.
It’s a shame Matrix seems to be the current hot new thing when, with a bit of UX polish on all the apps, XMPP would work just as well if not even better.
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.
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.
If you’re thinking of hosting Matrix on that small of a server consider going with Conduit or Dendrite. They’re not as feature complete as Synapse but they’re substantially lighter.
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.
No idea if Gotosocial supports relays or not, which is my choice of software so far. There seems to be some incompatiblilty between gup.pe and GTS (alpha software and all, expected issues obviously) so those are a no-go as well.
Following accounts are fine, but it’s really the creation part that causes issues. Unless you go full on reply guy, and I have at least some sliver of shame left in my body to not go full reply guy.
I know that FitGirl’s installers had some trouble working on wine staging based builds before. Try it with “regular” wine.
Rootful Podman & podman-compose. Waiting on the version of Podman that supports passt to hit Debian Bookworm or backports to attempt rootless. Deployed with Ansible except a few manual parts like creating the Postgres databases themselves.
No auto updates or notifications so far, as there seems to be a couple incompatibility issues left with Watchtower & Podman. Although since I switched CrowdSec to monitor journald instead of the Podman socket I don’t really have a reason to keep the daemon running, and I think that’s for the best.
With how unreliable tallying votes over federation is, we’re kinda get vote fuzzing “for free” right now.
It’s never too late to just create a new account and start using it. Don’t feel like you’re stuck on an instance. Your old posts won’t move over but that’s a problem even Mastodon hasn’t been able to solve yet. And unlike them there is no concept of followers in Lemmy so you’re really not losing anything beyond the time of re-subscribing to all your communities.

Your server sent the subscription request to the community’s server, but the acknowledgement never made it through amidst the chaos of federation. You’re still subscribed.
We’re too busy accidentally banning ourselves from our own servers to post
.ml disabled community creation. There isn’t much you can do except creating an account at a different instance (and creating your community there)
