Have you found btrfs to be reliable? Especially if you’ve needed to do any rollbacks? I’ve been curious to try but ext4 has been so stable for me.
You could consider using !photography@lemmy.glasgow.social, which seem more popular than !photography@lemmy.ml
That sounds like the right approach. I've found if a server is too overloaded, then it gives you the spinning circle when trying to sign up. I'd recommend trying to make an account on a smaller instance and see if that works.
It looks like www.lemmy.one
lands on a default nginx page. Maybe it makes sense to redirect to lemmy.one
?
Thanks for laying out this analogy. I agree with your sentiment and think it extends outside of the internet too. When I think of different scenes in the real world, they feel like they’ve all fallen into either super corporate places where you’re encouraged to spend money or meetup groups with no personality.
Ah, neat that it works with mastodon too. I get confused why I need so many different accounts in the fediverse (one for lemmy, one for mastodon, etc.). I would think that since they’re all federated together one single account could comment on all the different platforms. But it seems like you need separate accounts because you need access to separate UIs to interact with each platform.
Have you found kbin to be a good interface for interacting with mastodon or pixelfed? I think I have a dream of one platform to interact all the other popular fediverse platforms, but maybe that’s not realistic.
Do you use other parts of the fediverse? Or mostly interacting with lemmy communities?
I think the person above meant both beehaw and lemmy.one have defederated from lemmygrad.
I was able to find it from the instance I’m on
What’s the community you’re trying to get working?
Is it possible to do the opposite? Can I connect from a lemmy instance to follow a couple of people on mastodon?
Even though you don’t know what code is running on their server, the bitwarden client used to communicate with their server is open source & auditable. End-to-end encryption only requires that the client code is trustworthy.
What about using cryptomator on ios requires paying? I’ve only used it on osx before which I believe was free.
Thanks for writing this up. I believe that intention also matters. Although there’s no difference in terms of the contribution towards suffering, I would treat myself and others differently between accidentally eating non-vegan food vs willingly eating the same food.
I also think it’s important to consider the use of animal products in society. In your wool example, do you believe you have a responsibility to instead donate the wool to avoid others from purchasing wool that does lead to harm? As long as non-vegan societies exist, is it possible for the use of any animal product to be ethical?
Practically, in the real world, I find it easier to draw the line at avoiding the use of all animal products. Even if there may exist animal products that are ethical to use, I find it easier to adhere to the simpler principal of total avoidance. I also think total avoidance helps contribute towards activism. Being seen using animal products, however they were obtained, may enables other to legitimize their own use of animal products.
Ah got it thanks. Then does the !community I’m posting to just act as a tag to stay organized and help others find the post? Or is it used in the federation of the post to other servers?
For example, from my account on beehaw.org I post to !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml. This writes to beehaw.org’s database and lets lemmy.ml know about the new post (lemmy.ml saves a copy). Do other instances who have a user subscribed to !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml reach out to lemmy.ml to get a list of posts under that community? Or do other instances reach out to beehaw.org to see if there are any posts to !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml?
I guess I’m mostly just confused on how !communities are used in the federation process.
Hi, I’m new to the fediverse and trying to wrap my head around lemmy specifically.
If i’m signed into an account on beehaw.org and post to a community on lemmy.ml, is my post/comment saves on beehaw.org or lemmy.ml’s server? I understand that it will be federated between both servers but I’m curious which database the post lives i’m. Or is it replicated across both.
And do other federated services work the same way, like mastodon?
Thanks for the help in understanding this stuff!
That link didn’t work for me, so I’m trying this: !oldweb@lemmy.ml
I like the idea of decentralizing identity. One of the oddest things about the current fediverse is how closely tied accounts are to servers that host specific content. From the server’s perspective it would be like everything’s posted anonymously except all the messages are pgp signed.
But how would the system handle user customization settings? Things like blocked users or subscribed topics. Would that all need to be stored locally in your browser and parsed by the arbitrary instance you’re using?
And what if some instances want to refuse hosting certain content on the network. Maybe there’s some way defederating instances could account for that.
It almost sounds like you’re describing RAID 5 of content across fediverse servers.
