Nope. I use it on a weekly basis to pay for stuff on the internet. It's got its uses and the concept is sound. What you're talking about is the hype train that happens ever so often.

They're not because you should assume that everything you say is public and can't be deleted as a remote server may have a copy of what you said.

The key here is to not use identifiable information. Use a pseudonym.

Please no. I don't like big ISPs, but neither do I want big tech to feel entitled to control the network infrastructure somehow more than they already do.

Well, since we own the instances and every user, even if a remote user, is also user of every instance they interact with, we should be able to run some analysis tools and weed out the bots and astroturfers.

Twitter, Reddit, twitch... We're really being screwed over by the corporate internet, aren't we?

Am I incorrect in thinking that most of the OS is actually GNU?

Not sure if it's still recommended, but I've been using Cloudstream on Android, which gives you access to dozens of streaming sites seamlessly.

99% of fedi instances should require sign-ups with applications and email. It does not make sense to let in users indiscriminately unless you have a 24h staff in charge of moderation.

Ask your instance admin to restart the instance. It's a known bug. I've set our instance to restart every 4 hours since it takes about 20 seconds to do a restart and is way better than having a stale timeline. That said, SIJW has thousands of users while we only have 200. We can get by restarting, maybe with more users there will be more of a negative impact even if it's only for 20 seconds every 4 hours.

Here is a userscript that makes this work:

https://sh.itjust.works/post/33762 (just make sure to change the home instance variable).

And also recommended, to find previously undiscovered communities when your instance gives you a 404 and fetch them for the first time: https://reddthat.com/post/69331

You will need greasemonkey for firefox or tampermonkey for chrome. Plug those scripts in and they'll do the work for you by rewriting the urls.

If you haven't yet, check the replies to this thread. Someone made a userscript just like I had requested.

I read that cloudflare now allows you to proxy email as well.

I have set a cronjob on my instance to restart Lemmy via docker_compose every 4 hours. It cause a small 30s downtime every 4 hours, but should be preferable to having the timelines stale.

Unlike Mastodon, one of the good things is that only you're instances system administrator has access to your IP: no mods nor site admins.

You can then use a VPN on top of that.

Did reddit announce anything regarding NSFW?

Lemmy.ml is overloaded and known for having this issue. Also, even if it says "pending" you might already be subscribed. I just saw this in my subscribed feed even though my subscription to this sub is still pending.

There's currently no way to do this. It's a planned feature though.

I would love to. Unfortunately I have these images saved already and don't have a way to know the exact page of the sauce. You could look them up on https://saucenao.com/

Update: works like a charm. It also works incredibly well with lemmyverse.net when you've set you're home instance on there.

Thank you so much <3

Yes! This is what I was looking for! Thank you so much. I'll give it a try now!
