I've never heard of platform called "local shopping in small shops", but despite having weird name, it might be worth checking out
I've seen that nextcloud has federation, what do you use it for? Do people actively use that functionality?
I dont have an own server yet, nor know any other nice private servers.
I only know having shared folders among users of the same server. Federation would probably be that, controlled by permissions, for multiple servers.
Haha wanna cry a bit here. My Uni loves Microsoft BS, they actually have a License for all of use for all products, as well as chain us to stupid DRM software.
Now I asked them if they could offer OUR timetable not only as MS Exchange but plain old CalDAV, as Exchange is not supported by ANY FOSS software natively. Long story, end "use this weird app, it works trust me bro" and "no we wont support it".
Yay, public services!
bittorrent! <3
qBitorrent*
I'm pretty sure BitTorrent is the protocol, and qBittorrent is a client which makes use of said protocol. The company responsible for the protocol does make their own client named BitTorrent though.
TIL, Tnx. I only knew about the client and obviously that's what I thought that person meant
I'm suprised that nobody says e-mail
That comment was created after mine
Can't see the timestamp.
Lemmy frontends often round it to for example "4h ago", but if you really want to know, you can use API to get exact date/time. Here is the docs link for JavaScript client: https://join-lemmy.org/api/
Somehow the app swallowed the last part of my comment.
Meant to say "Can't see timestamp in my app"
It's okay
yeah, I've heard of this e-mail, I keep hearing it's really easy, but idk...
Yeah, it's to complicated for me. All those servers, providers, adresses... And I feel like only older linux users, working in IT use it. I'm not really tech-savvy, so I'll stick with Facebool Messenger for now.
most if not all of us forgot probably
Not counting the smartass answers like some of the others (which are all 100% correct lol): The Fediverse platforms I use are:
kbin
Mastoson
BookWyrm
pixelfed
Peertube
The former 2 I use primarily, the latter 3 just on occasion. I do also have a couple of Lemmy accounts on other instances but no longer use them.
Never talk to me or my Mastoson ever again.
Fuck lmao, leaving it.
Lemmy actively
Mastodon, Nextcoud, Pixelfed, Matrix I'm trying to use more and build a habit
Only Lemmy.
Mastodon, Lemmy, Bookwrym.
Spending more time on Lemmy than Mastodon lately.
Same! Not to knock Mastdon, but I feel like I donβt get it in the same way I never got Twitter. Does that make sense? Somehow, microblogging doesnβt click for me.
Lemmy and Mastadon.
lemmy, nextcloud, mastodon and I'm not active on but have an account on pixelfed, matrix and peertube
Lemmy, Kbin, Matrix, Mastodon (rarely, but I do have an app installed for it.)
Edit: ending the parentheses.
Lemmy (ofc), Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, Matrix, XMPP, Nextcloud, Mumble and Tox. Some of these are self hosted on my own machine.
only lemmy
Nextcloud as cloud storage (but app it's slow). I also use Lemmy because it is more like reddit than other social networks. I don't like Mastodon because it has a lot of unusual features compared to traditional social networks.
Email, lemmy, misskey, BitTorrent, soulseek
lemmy, nextcloud, matrix, bittorrent, firefish^[mastodon alternative], IRC, email.
I'd like to use more.
