Rather than try to act like a link aggregator where people submit links to articles and images and that submission comes with a comment thread specific to the fediverse instance in which it was submitted, what if each news site, image host, blog, whatever was itself the instance and the reddit-style instances federate with...

Everyone seems to be pointing to the Microsoft EEE model without explaining how it has changed since the 90s. Here's what it will look like in today's tech climate. (I forgot to mention in this wall of text that there will probably be a name change or two. Especially if there's a major controversy.)...

The first few times I saw "+18", I didn't even know what it meant because it was backwards and the threads weren't particularly NSFW.

Today is Montblanc Heritage 1912 with Aurora Black, taking notes at work. What about you?

/r/personalfinance was one of my more frequented subreddits and I find it pretty valuable. I figure I should try to help get the ball rolling over in the Fediverse and it seems like this is the most active substitute so far....

The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2]....

I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down....

In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included. They've started to DDoS Lemmy for a while, which is a Reddit thing to do and what they're notorious of doing whenever they feel they don't like...

I have a synology NAS where I backup my photos to. What would be the most cost effective way to encrypt and back up this data without having to purchase another NAS and install it at a family member's house. It would be about 5 TB and would not touch the data unless my NAS completely takes a crap.

I want to self host my own kbin instance. But dream host (my current host) doesn't let me do postgresql unless I get a dedicated server (very expensive). And I don't want to put it on my home machine because I want professional hosting....

As People try to get in touch with mods through discord, the act of it being banned has been random.

Gaming, news, tech, general literature. All of these are somewhat thriving, with a steady influx of posts and comments. At the same time, the userbase is sorely lacking for more niche communities. In my case it'd be stuff like poetry, yoga, religion, linguistics, meditation. Or many other communities I'd doubt they'd form a...

I was sort of holding on to hope, that something would change. Unfortunately, nothing did and so, here I am....

r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them...

Hey self-hosted community! I thought I'd pose this question to you all as you seem to have a lot of experience with hosting things on limited budgets with usually a single person administering!...

Just an FYI about another Reddit alternative. New URL, too. I think they decided to change the name to avoid a copyright issue.

Depending on how much you self host, you may find it hard to keep track of your devices' host names. So what are your naming conventions to keep track everything? Some people stick to descriptive names, others pick themes, like Greek mythology....

Distro: EndeavourOS...

just curious if anyone regrets going nuclear...

I've probably spent an hour in the past month just trying to login to kbin, clearing site data, refreshing, retrying. I thought the bug was fixed recently but it's worse than ever now....

I'd like a keyboard shortcut to act in the same way as the toobar button "show sidebars":...

Is lemmy.world down? When I tried to open it, the websites says "...
