It really depends on what you’re trying to do. At the end of the day, the foundational components are pretty standard across the board. All machines have a CPU, motherboard, storage mechanism, etc. Oftentimes those actual servers have a form factor better suited for rack mounting. They often have more powerful components.

But at the end of the day, the difference isn’t as striking as most people not aware of this stuff think.

I’d say considering this is your first experience, you should start with converting an old PC due to the lower price point, and then expand as needed. You’ll learn a lot and get a lot of experience from starting there.

That’s attached to the instance? Do you have a screenshot maybe?

What is the error that you get?

Thanks. It did go down after about 40 minutes or so. It seems like my instance isn’t federating properly now tho. Had to manually call /api/v3/resolve_object with the link to your comment to even be able to reply to it.

Another example is here you can see that the number of upvotes doesn’t match this.

Any ideas?

For Mastodon there is something called Tootpick which allows you to enter your server’s domain and share any content by redirecting the user. For example: https://tootpick.org/#text=https://eventfrontier.com/post/37808. So I’m not quite sure the federated nature argument makes sense. Sure it’s more complicated that a centralized system, but possible regardless.

At this point it’s like, why not use Ethernet?

Thanks! Since it’s still alpha and extremely early stages keeping access pretty tight at this point. It’ll open up more soon I hope. Subscribe to the Echo Lemmy community for updates.

Good feedback. This is meant to be extremely initial. I absolutely understand the hesitation to collecting PII. TestFlight does capture a lot of this data automatically when you sign up using a link anyways. Once it gets into beta (or even later alpha stages) I plan on releasing a public link that doesn’t require an application. I really appreciate your honest feedback tho, and I’ll definitely take it into consideration and consider alternatives in the coming days. Thanks again!

Feels like this would just be adding on a centralized feature to a system designed to be decentralized. If anything, it should be based on a decentralized system like Bitcoin or something.

The craziest thing is that Elon’s tweets are still completely visible.

So if you were moving to another home or apartment, is it a reasonable strategy to stop paying rent at your current home while you’re looking for a new place? Of course not. Same idea here.

@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz If the instance is overloaded, how do you still get posts then?

Does the subscription being pending remove any functionality or change the behavior at all?

I have a lot of them from Beehaw.org. What I didn’t expect is I still seem to be seeing posts from those communities in my subscribed feed.

Ads too 😉

@dessalines@lemmy.ml Thanks for the information here and all the hard work you have put into this release.

Gotta say tho, as the maintainer of Lemmy-Swift-Client, breaking API changes like this without an API version bump, make API development within the community incredibly difficult.

So my question to you would be, what is the purpose of having v3 in the API path, if the true test of API compatibility is the GetServerResponse version field? And breaking changes will occur in GetServerResponse version changes as opposed to the version in the API path? That doesn’t quite make sense to me.

Would love your perspective so I can figure out how to best design the package API to accommodate client developers who might have to contend with multiple server versions.

Ok, but the TypeScript code is generated directly from the Lemmy Rust code (shown here).

But even for community_name the TypeScript file has no comment whereas the documentation does.

So even if the TypeScript files are the source of the documentation (which it doesn’t look like it is), it doesn’t seem like that is the original source since it’s getting generated from Rust. And not quite sure how that process works.
