Isn’t the whole point that this thing can be upgraded?
Also, Pixel 3 still runs great, once you strip off all the google spyware.


Yeah, small dutch company that has a good history. They’ve been making highly customizable laptops for the EU market since 2015. And since 2021, they’ve been focusing on security and right-to-repair. You can watch an interview with the NovaCustom founder (Wessel Klein Snakenborg) here:
They’re one of very few laptop manufacturers that sell QubesOS certified laptops. And that come with coreboot.

Looks like the reddit blackout is #1 on the frontpage of hackernews, and this article is #2.
I actually posted this article to hackernews, but I never got a single upvote. This isn’t my first time getting on the frontpage of hackernews, but it always happens when someone else reposts my link.
Can anyone tell me how the fuck hackernews’ algorithm works to where I can’t ever get traction but someone else does after me?
Added to the article. Thanks for the suggestion :)
You should ask in /c/mlemapp
And if it’s a bug, please report it on GitHub
Thanks! Yeah, I linked to it in the bottom of the article. There’s some other good links there that you may want to checkout as well :)
I made a text-and-images version of this guide:
The only thing I need to improve this article is a short video demonstration showing how to find and add remote lemmy communities
Are there any video producers on Lemmy that can help? You’ll easily get thousands unique views per day if you make a short “Guide to Lemmy” video :)
I’m actually very surprised how high the uptime is on most of these instances.
The awesome-lemmy-instances repo on GitHub displays uptime:
This list may help newcomers:
At what point do you plan to close this instance to new users?
See this list of “Privacy-Conscious Email Services”


Honestly I’m not sure I’ll stick to lemmy if the amount of content doesn’t grow. And I’m sure I’m not alone. I’m here for news, and there’s very little coverage of world events on lemmy (though that has already noticeably improved as our userbase grows).
I do want lemmy to grow, but not for growth’s sake. I want it to grow so the content (news article submissions and quality comments about those articles) grows.


If an instance (eg Hexbear) wants to deviate from this, that’s fine. That’s what the Fediverse is all about :) But we shouldn’t recommend those instances to new users as it will cause new user attrition.


That’s not going to happen automatically, but we can manually remove instances that go down.
I only know of one site that monitors uptime of lemmy instances:
They do have an API, but I’m not sure yet how to query it (help would be appreciated!)
I found this site that tracks uptime of lemmy services. They have an API that helps you construct a query in the WUI.
Or you can use cURL to get the uptime of all known lemmy instances
curl 'https://api.fediverse.observer/' -X POST -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"query":"query{\n nodes (softwarename: \"lemmy\") {\ndomain uptime_alltime\n }\n}\n"}'
