Snow White, Linebacker.

They really missed the opportunity to call it obsidian valley though.

Yea, maybe that page is a little misleading. lemmy-ui is probably what you're using now. It's the "webserver" that comes with lemmy that lets you access it from a browser (phone or desktop.) It's not the ONLY option, but most instances (sites like lemmy.ml) use it. You can expect to see a bunch of phone and even other apps on that page as lemmy gets bigger.

Was talking to my non-techie wife yesterday and she asked what I was working on. I said "replacing reddit." I explained the reddit situation and then we talked about alternative social networking and I was shocked she knew what Mastodon was AND said a lot of people were moving there!

At least we get lemmy flavoured drama. It's not as bitter as Reddit's.

The official web app is what you use if you browse to lemmy.ml. Maybe I misunderstanding what you are looking for.

You can access the whole thing from one server. :)

Debian for servers. Darwin for desktop. :)

This post will get removed. Cupcake is right. The problem right now is that it’s not as reliable as email and has a confusing end user experience. It will get better. Fingers crossed.

It has to be done by manually by changing a row in the database AFAIK. Are you on matrix? If you ask in there someone might work with you.

There's a community for that! https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy :)

There was a "grasshopper" year when I was a teenager.. Sometime in the 90s I think. I remember how you could see waves of them in front of something was moving through the field; and all the plugged up radiators. So many pugged up radiators... The carwash had to put a grate over the drain and throw into a grasshopper pile everyday so it didn't plug up the drain.

All good. Could be on a Wagner APC in Rostov-on-Don costing 12 rubles a second.

Knock at the Cabin

Not M. Night's best work. I'm not a particular fan anyway, but here's my micro-review. The love story was touching, but didn't wrestle a tear out of me. You can tell from the flashbacks that the writers spent a lot of time thinking about the main characters, but there's not enough screen time dedicated to developing them.

Most of the screen time is spent highlighting two or three perdictable jump scares, and many minutes of bad attempts to build suspense. The religious dogma is boring. If you're going to include that as the premise of your thriller, then at least get creative.

Bautista is the best part and that's saying something.

EDIT: The twist, if you can call it that, is more of a mild tale of morality about how things aren't always what they seem. Blair Witch 2 had a better "twist" and it was one of the worst movies I've ever had to suffer through.

Coincidentally, I just went down the rabbit hole of the A24 production company. Very cool film-makers behind some of my most recent favourite flicks, including Marcel the Shell with Shoes on!

There is a rub though: even if it is a tiny instance, if the user base subscribes to other communities on other instances, traffic increase quit a lot. It's small enough with 200k users but it could become an issue if growth is steady. It wouldn't be long until "home" internet connections just won't work reliably enough for admins.

That's noble, but what if it grows beyond the admin's capability to pay the hosting costs?

Just gross.
