Interesting point. I'm looking at some alternatives, I didn't even realize just how insecure it was.
I can save posts in the app but I can't find them anywhere? Is there a way to view saved posts?
I just use an FTP to share files. It's pretty easy to use and it's very powerful.
How are you trying to login? I know Jerboa is broken right now.
I think that's how many people have subscribed from your instance. I don't think these stats are federated but I can't imagine it'll stay that way.
It's a must have feature for me. And I don't think I'm alone. I'm still using the browser instead for now because I really need some key features not yet available but this app has the potential to be the best! It kinda already is.
Edit: they just released an update and it has this option! Thanks guys!
Is there a specific community you mean? I'd think the only way to report a whole community is to message the admins of the instance the community is hosted by.
I don't even think that would be "correct" because what if I up vote on my instance and it doesn't immediately sync to the posts host instance?
I've been slowly adding things to the mini PC someone in my family gifted me. I keep thinking there's no way this little machine can take one more thing. But as I sit here it's idling between 10-20% and basically never peaks up to the top. I've had no issues with this little machine keeping up. I also have slow internet, the lowest package offered. But my little champion just keeps proving it's self time and time again. It's made me realize that most people on here are making this sound much more burdensome than it actually is for a personal use server. If it's just you and family, you probably don't need to worry about it.
The more I self host the more I realize everyone needs to be self hosting at least one thing. But really why not more? Things are getting easier and easier mostly because those amongst us with really in depth knowledge are making easy launch scripts and self deploying programs. It's taught me a lot and has been a lot of fun. It's also really practical. I especially like having the FTP which might be the first and easiest thing I setup. It's really cool to have my own cloud it's not super secure being that there's no data redundancy but it's more than adequate for things I already have redundancy for like my whole phone syncs up every night, but I also upload all my photos to a cloud service. I also have common space for me and my spouse to share files really really easily and keep these files all in a common space. This has been helpful when looking for medical records during an emergency. But also just to share larger files in general. We even keep a collection of ebooks on there, we read from my server every night. My kid watches most TV from my server too. This avoids my kid being exposed to most ads I find inappropriate.
I just finished setting up this instance yesterday. I also self host a few other things. Self hosting is fun for me, but probably not most people. I honestly don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it and it's working lol
I also really enjoy knowing I literally own all my own data. It's stored locally on my personal server. As for cost, I'm just using a mini PC someone in my family gifted to me. It's got some hardware limitations but that's more in theory than practice, but that's because it's only me and a few others who use the server so load is really low.
In the settings there's a box "private instance" I can't figure out what it does though.
