Hey! Careful where your images live if your instance doesn't allow NSFW

Jump

  • Yes. That's a rule we've started enforcing precisely to avoid mistakes. There might some outliers left. If you ever see such content please report it or leave a comment to notify OP.

    I won't eat OP if it's reported. No worries. I'll nudge them myself or temporarily delete the post.

    • If you're still worried about the suitability of Lemmy/Kbin as a reddit alternative go check out calckey

  • It's much more like Twitter. I don't think it's like Facebook at all. The content is exactly the same content as on Mastodon or pleroma since it interoperates perfectly with them.

    It can also receive Lemmy posts, but it's not ideal. Lemmy needs to work a bit on making its content more accessible from outside Lemmy, but I'm sure that'll come in due time.

    Jump

  • That's a good point. I'm not familiar with instances that allow you to view but not post NSFW, although there could be some cases.

    In any case, it's important for people to make themselves familiar with the rules of their home instance. They should try to find one that's as yiff-friendly as possible. If in doubt people should just go with us or with Pawb.

    • Are artists and creators not welcome in this community?

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure there is instances that would not only welcome you with open arms but even have communities so that you can promote yourself.

    Choosing your home instance is the most important step. Or you can choose a neutral instance and use it to post on artist friendly communities that might be hosted on remote instances.

    • It was confusing at first

    Jump

  • It doesn't. Beehaw blocked LW and SIJW because of open sign ups and, what I assume, was people creating new accounts when their old one was banned.

    If you're not on any of those two instances or on beehaw, you're not impacted.

    Beehaw is sending a message, imho, that instances need take reasonable measures to ensure their users don't repeatedly commit some sort of abuse.

    This raises a question about the use case of user-only instances and community-only instances which might not be a bad idea.

    • It was confusing at first

    Jump

  • In my case I started with 4GB but had to double because there seems to be some memory creep / leak that gets reset when you reboot the server.

    Of course, I'm hosting 50 active users and communities with over 200 subscribers.

    Overall I would say that Lemmy is indeed lightweight.

    • It was confusing at first

    Jump

  • If you had created an account on a provider that wasn't lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works you'd had access to everything but with just one account.

    Even if you disagree with beehaw, it's not a bad idea since it spreads the load of users across instances.

    • It was confusing at first

    Jump

  • 150 MB of RAM is a bit optimistic. However I agree that you should be okish with cheap 1GB 1vCPU VMs for a one user instance.

    Maybe even host it on an old laptop you can use as a server.

    • It was confusing at first

    Jump

  • That's not the most convenient though. You could have an account on any instance that's not lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works and you'd be able to access both beehaw and Lemmyworld/shitjustworks

    • Unofficial Subreddit Migration List (Lemmy, Kbin)

    Jump

  • It is useful but I don't think they're equivalents. There's probably multiple technology subreddit alternatives that I enjoy, none of them being a sole replacement.

    • "Subscribe Pending"?

    Jump

  • It can mean that the instance is overloaded. In the case of beehaw for a Lemmy.world user, it means the instance has defederated.

    • Want to selfhost a Lemmy server

    Jump

  • Right? Thank you for confirming that I'm not extremely stupid when I didn't manage to get the docker installation working, only the Ansible one.

    • Can I be a moderator and have "show NSFW content" set to off?

    Jump

  • Keep in mind that if you enable nsfw images will still be blurred. You might want someone helping you moderate for the time being. I'm sure the feature is coming soon.

    • Communities Can't Be Found

    Jump

  • You need to be a user at that instance and write the community in the search box so that it's discovered and fetched for the first time.

    Type it in as !name@instance.domain

    Search Wait a few seconds Refresh page if still doesn't show. Then it should appear. Subscribe

    This teaches the remote instance that this community exists.
