$3.33/month? I too would like to know who your VPS provider is.

Works for me.

Honestly kind of a hilarious misunderstanding of Lemmy too. Beehaw will never replace reddit because they explicitly do not want to and have already taken aggressive steps to make sure that they don’t (i.e. detailed application requirements and defederating multiple instances).

I’ve never been a Zelda fan, but this list makes me think I should try BotW :D

I’m with you on this one. I got moderately stuck at one point pretty early on in the game (I’m not sure, but I think my save was probably bugged). Anyway, I put the game down and never touched it again. Didn’t feel like I had lost anything at all.

Their tools kits are also super solid.

I know it’s probably not the target audience for this, but the idea of safely sharing secrets by pasting them into unknown websites is… terrifying to say the least.

Even better is probably the Github issue tracker

You almost certainly want to outsource email to something like SendGrid anyway. Hosting your own email server is harder than it’s worth these days.

Yep. Twitter was never my jam so Mastodon doesn’t appeal to me at all. I have been aware of PeerTube for quite a while but the content just isn’t there. I’ve been aware of Lemmy for a month or two and finally signed up a week ago. It definitely feels like it has the potential to be a viable reddit alternative. I’m looking forward to it.

Post it here. Presumably it’s lemmy.villa-straylight.social?

:D That’s sort of what this post is. I figured most people interested in lemmy would probably be able to figure it out, but yes you got it.

Fake your user numbers

I kind of consider that too. You do actually have to do some basic stuff to show up on the list in addition to the user requirement, so I don’t actually think it is about filtering out private instances, but maybe you’re right. I can’t actually figure out what constitutes an active monthly user though. I did make a (legitimate non-spam) comment on a post in another instance from my alt account and that doesn’t seem to be enough.

Well, I just made a post over there so we’ll see. I don’t have any emotional or other attachment to my reddit account anyway, so if they ban me I won’t be sad about it.

You need the whole link, including the “https://reddit.com/” part: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/1401qw5/incomplete_and_growing_list_of_participating/

Someone put together a cool visualization of this too: https://reddark.untone.uk/ Several subreddits are already private.

The devs changed it so that you have to have 5 monthly active users to show up.

Same here. I only have a couple of users though so I don’t show up on join-lemmy.org anymore. Not sure how to gather more users now. I figure if I do actually get up to a hundred or so users I’ll set up a LibrePay account and expand based on available funds.

It looks like videos are loaded directly from the original instance instead of being proxied through your home instance. Firefox doesn’t like that by default.

I likewise have a similar background to the OP. I wouldn’t say I struggled (thanks to the Matrix chat room), but the docker instructions straight up didn’t work a couple of days ago. I and another guys submitted a couple of PRs and I think the instructions should at least work for common setups now, but the edges are very rough.

Yeah, I think it will change eventually, but there are some issues that make it hard to fix right away. Lemmy is basically beta software written by two guys that has been thrust into the spotlight by current events. There are going to be some growing pains, but I have hope that things will improve with time.

Google. Sue me, I really only care about results when it comes to search. It’s mostly just Google and Bing actually providing results and Google’s are better.

It can take a very long time sometimes for the community to show up. It is still searching in the background even though it says “No results”.
