Are there any downsides to hosting your own instance?

Jump

  • Really good points. I wasn't planning on opening it up, but if I was these are all great to keep in mind. Thank you.

    • [Discussion] I don't think this format makes a lot of sense for the fediverse

  • That's one thing I'm worried about, too. I haven't set up a website before, but I believe I have the skill set to figure it out. Just don't want to waste my time doing all the legwork only for my user experience to be worse due to using my own instance instead of one of the "big" ones.

  • I'm going to give it a go sometime this week, even if I don't end up hosting my own instance, I think there's a lot of valuable information that I'll learn both about kbin and the fediverse in general. Thank you.

  • Yea, I was looking at the documentation for creating your own instance. Obviously it's not going to be a walk in the park, but I wasn't sure if there was something like a check for a low user count instance or something that's not quite so obvious to self-hosters.

    • The kbin/lemmy app is coming along. Here´s a little preview of the upcoming beta! Heavy inspiration from Apollo. The app will be available for both iOS and Android.

  • I believe @hariette plans on adapting to use the real API once it is made public.

  • So far all of the dev work has been done by Hariette herself. Full credit to her, I'm just promoting it because it really looks quite great in my opinion.

  • It will be for both, friend.

  • Yep, iOS and Android! Also, all this work has been done in less than a week. It's crazy.

    • Apollo on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • This is what @hariette has been hard at work on for a kbin/lemmy app!

    • Remember that the button at the top of the sidebar expands the options to disable federation.

  • You can't really browse kbin magazines from Mastodon from what I've found. But, if you're on a kbin thread and click more-copy URL to fediverse then paste that URL in the search bar of your Mastodon instance, you should be able to find the post.

    The only caveat to finding the post is that I've noticed this doesn't work with Ivory for iOS, but it works in the Ice Cubes app

    • FYI, Lemmy and Kbin are Progressive Web Apps, meaning you can install them as regular apps to your phone's home screen

  • Swiping works for me on iPhone. My only issue is there's no way to refresh the page from the PWA on iPhone (to my knowledge).

    • What do you all use for password management?

    Jump

  • It's definitely not the best out there, but I'll take free. I also have the ability to share the account, so I shared it with my fiancée.

  • Thank you for a breakdown. Weird that posts from Lemmy work on Mastodon though but kbin posts on Mastodon don't really work. I have both a kbin account and Mastodon account. Using Mastodon more as microblogging and kbin more as a reddit replacement right now.

  • I think part of the issue with that is that the Magazines (kbin's Community equivalent) are case sensitive for some reason.

    So theoretically there could be a kbin magazine called /m/TodayILearned as well as one named /m/todayilearned

    • Let's not have global Lemmy default to US (or some region)

  • Looks like the America Bad nonsense has already started here smh

    Jump

  • Using Keeper at the moment. I used to use 1password, then moved to Bitwarden. Using keeper now because my employer has licensing to give each employee a personal account and a business account for free. So, basically I'm just taking advantage of that.

  • I've heard public transit is pretty good in DC, too. My fiancée and I are planning a trip to DC at the end of August. I plan on parking my car at the hotel and just use public transit, so we'll test that theory.

    EDIT: Also, I've never been to Salt Lake City. Seems like a really cool place though!
