.ml disabled community creation. There isn't much you can do except creating an account at a different instance (and creating your community there)

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.

This is why I never bother with any "easy install" scripts of any kind. Give me a list of Docker images, a list of environment variables / config files, and some form of reverse proxy configuration and I'll figure out the rest. You don't know how my server works better than I do.

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)

This is a really tiny thing but can the card dividers be removable? I personally think having the cards themselves is enough separation and the dividers end up as visual clutter.

I'm sure there are people who want them, so could those be made into an option or something?

I'm on Matrix and GoToSocial (both selfhosted).

I also made an alt on kbin which is probably where I'll probably end up migrating the "serious" discussion to, so this account will really end up as my shitposting account just like it did back at Reddit.

I also have an account on Tildes under a different name and from a long time ago.

All of these are different enough that I end up checking on all of them quite regularly.

Oh and I have a Discord too but it just feels too overwhelming how fast most guilds (they're not servers and I will die on this hill) move so I really use it to check for updates on shit like Sync's Lemmy port instead of posting memes or whatever.

And finally: YouTube & WhatsApp. both of which are unescapeable. I've tried.

As for the ones I cut off: Facebook around 2015, Instagram since so long ago I forgot, got banned off Twitter several times, and I'm waiting until Reddit gives my GDPR export to bail from there as well.

Edit: Oh, they processed my GDPR export. Brb off to delete my account

It's just 42.zip

Sure why not. Plenty of us have single user instances.

 

As by that point I hope we'll have better inside jokes and things to discuss

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.

 

I'm not sure on what the self promotion rules are for this community. If this isn't allowed then feel free to downvote I guess :/

 

The community itself is for link posts only. If there's anything you'd like to suggest or complain about, do so under this thread.

Please note that this formatting will be automatically enforced by a bot pretty soon. Keep all personal opinions regarding the link in the comments / replies, and ONLY use the body text for hashtags.

Also don't forget to read the sidebar / community bio for the exact rules as they get refined over time.

Lemmy, Kbin, and other link aggregators

Lemmy Create Post screen. URL field has a link on it. The "Copy Suggested Title" button is highlighted. The Body box is filled with the three hashtags #Hashtag #Test and #SelfPromotion

Mastodon, Pleroma, GoToSoclal, and other microblogging software

Compose box on a microblogging software. The first line has a link on it, and the last line mentions the account "at randomizer at lemmy dot W dot on dash T dot work". Between these two lines are the four hashtags #LemmyCommunity #SelfPromotion #Test and #WIP

 

We're getting plenty of posts regarding selfhosting Lemmy, but with Twitter simultaneously imploding in on itself I assume a fair few of us here have brought up/thinking of bringing up our own microblogging as well.

Lemmy is the best case scenario when it comes to discoverability within single-user instances, as you can just start following communities and start socializing almost immediately, whereas on Mastodon & co you need to build up a follower base before hashtags and whatnot start federating and it starts being more than just "you shouting out into the void".

So what I'm proposing here is a thread to share your selfhosted fedi presence outside Lemmy, so we can kickstart the discoverability process among each other, and slowly integrate our single-user/low-user/just new in general instances into the wider fediverse.

I guess I'll start off first: You can find me as @[email protected]. I haven't posted all that much yet because of the above "shouting out into the void" feeling though, so it's pretty empty for now.

Not entirely sure how well it would fit this community given it's "nerdiness", but here is a hour and a bit long video of a rather interesting explanation of a BIOS vendor committing metaphorical crimes against the ways most computers expect themselves to work -- all for very little gain.

I recommend checking out Cathode Ray Dude's other videos as well, his channel is really good and he just started working full time on it.
