Hey thanks for your feedback. I've made them all URLs now.
Search and sort are tricky as it's not something Uptime Kuma status pages can do, I'll look into what can be done there.
Of all the ones to miss!
Thanks for pointing it out, I've added it now.
Have you thought of self-hosting mailcow? https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized
It's very easy to set up and fairly straightforward to maintain, if you have a static IP and it's not impossible to get a PTR record then I highly recommend it. Yes you're self hosting your own mail server but mailcow vastly simplifies this.
Alternatively plonking it on the right VPS can also work.
That's fine too, the short of it is it's entirely up to you.
There are no requirements, and they wouldn't be enforceable even if somebody tried. The admin of instance1 has no way of knowing that you already have an account on instance2. Your identifiable details (IP address, e-mail address) are private to the instance that you sign up with and it would be a violation of privacy (and inherently scummy) for those to be shared between instances - they're not.
You can be anonymous on the fediverse, just like the Internet in general used to be before Facebook.
That's entirely up to you, it can be the same username if you want. Speaking as an instance admin, there is no problem with users creating multiple accounts across instances, even if they're the same username.
Spam would be creating as many usernames as you can on any given instance (e.g. trying to register 100 users on lemmy.world because reasons) - there's obviously a problem with that. Creating you@instance1, you@instance2 and you@instanceN is perfectly fine.
Not at all, it's perfectly fine to have accounts on multiple instances.
I've tried refreshing lemmy.world and Cloudflare blocked me:
I'm officially a bot now I guess.
Edit: But more on the topic, they have been plagued by DDoS attacks recently so my guess is it's more of the same.
Edit edit:
It's probably related to the redirect.
I think they're stuck in a vicious circle, their server costs scale with size but new users are way more likely to donate. Users that have already donated feel like they've done their bit for a while, and that's if they're still around and engaged in a few weeks. Very few people want to donate monthly, subscription style.
My personal controversial view is people should put more faith in well-run self-hosted instances. It's a much more sustainable way to run a Fediverse server and self-hosted doesn't have to mean amateur hour. Just because an instance is cloud hosted doesn't mean it's well configured or secure either.
I have way more resources at my disposal than the vast majority of cloud hosted instances, for a tiny fraction of the cost. lemm.ee for example is very well run but has to put up with a 100kb image size limit because of cost-driven space constrains.
Self hosting is also closer to the spirit of what decentralization is supposed to mean - your server ultimately belongs to your host.

Today I received this text message:
- Opening the URL from a desktop computer redirects to the real NZ Post website.
- Opening the URL from mobile shows a convincing spoofed NZ Post tracking page:
The objective of the scam is to get you to click on "Schedule a Redelivery" and give them your personal details:
They will use this information to contact you and attempt to scam money from you, as well as try any future scams they may come up with.
The combination of URL + believable phishing page makes this scam particularly easy to fall for. If you're from NZ, then it's a good idea to warn your friends and family about it.
I will report the domain but it usually takes a very long time for anything to be done in these cases.
Welcome!
We're a relaxed general-purpose Lemmy instance for everyone.
Lemdit is not a large instance, it doesn't even host a lot of content, but it is federated with everyone that does. The beauty of the Fediverse is that you can join the server that most resonates with you and use it to interact with everybody and everything else on the network.
To figure out if Lemdit is right for you, please read the Lemdit ethos for our rules, as well as our stance on speech, communities, federation and more.
Head over to Lemdit Official to find out everything about Lemdit and stay up to date with the latest happenings.
If you're still a bit confused by this whole thing, then be sure to check out Lemmy Help for more information on Lemmy and the Fediverse, or to ask some questions.
You are welcome to join us!
Https HEAD requests - I find it yields accurate results for Lemmy and it's extremely light on bandwidth.
