OP - use Post Image to host and only post the links to Lemmy, especially on .ml where the server is (IIRC) someone’s self hosted system. Uploading to Post Image is just like old skool imgur before it became trackerware junk. Once uploaded, open the image itself in a new tab in the browser to be sure you have the full size raw image URL. Then paste this into the post. You can even do this after posting something like this post in an edit too. If you want to post a linked image into the body of a post or in a comment, the syntax is:
This extra step for external image hosting will reduce the load on all instances, and the image will load much faster for users, avoiding most confusion about this being a meme when you posted it in Linux instead of Linux-memes.
ok thanks. im new to this and just ctrl-v-ed with the image in my clipboard. do you hav esome tips on finding communities? its not as easy as on reddit…
Your home instance has a big impact on what you can see. It is something of an uphill struggle coming from a smaller instance if others have not already found communities elsewhere. IIRC, you may not be able to subscribe to many unless you first try to post a message to them. This establishes the connection between instances/communities if no one else has already made the connection on your instance. It was a question that came up on .world a lot back when Lemmy was just a few thousand total users, but it is not something I have had to do. I have accounts on other instances that have defederated or that I want to separate interaction from. There is nothing wrong with having accounts elsewhere. If you just use a mobile browser and save login creds it is easy to use several accounts at the same time. I know this seems crazy, to go back to a browser based existence, but the fediverse is not trying to make browsers difficult in order to funnel people onto a stalkerware app. It works quite well.
I think this is a good opportunity for people to explore joining alternative instances rather than just the largest. Lemmy.world is getting hammered today but other instances are chugging along just fine.
I mean if you’re on an alternate instance the idea is that you’ll still see content from other instances since they all share. Some decide to “defederate” which means they don’t want to share and disable it. But so yeah you will see content from world still if you’re on an alt instance but you should be seeing more than just that.
I think it might just have been the app I was using earlier. It was like two totally different feeds between Connect and Liftoff when filtering for the same thing. Connect shows me everything everywhere all at once. Liftoff was only showing instances I had added accounts for, despite it having a “show me everything” special filter. 🤷🏻♂️
Nothing wrong with hardware raid in general. But most consumer motherboards do not have true hardware raid - but instead fake raid. Which is some basic hardware boot time support for software raid. IE the BIOS can understand the basic raid features to boot the system - before handing it off to the OS to manage.
I would not use fake raid on a Linux system if you can avoid it, full software raid is just better than most consumer hardware fake raid support.
True hardware raid generally requires a separate expensive card that has its own controller and ram buffer.
Yeah, never hardware raid. It’s a disaster waiting to happen, even with expensive dedicated cards.
Easiest is with btrfs raid1, the drives don’t even have to be the same size like in other raid systems. For example you can combine two 2TB drives with a single 4TB drive into one 4TB Raid1 and also remove and change things as you want. ZFS has a few more features but is much more rigid and likely to break on Linux kernel updates as it isn’t part of the kernel like btrfs.
Thanks a lot for the post! Super nice to hear. Would also like to point out that “the customer is always right” was originally meant for sales. I.e. if they want a meat themed car, sell it to them, dont tell them its in bad taste. So for more ways than one treat those that serve you with respect. Theyre serving the community, not your servants.
Obviously a lot of people here disagree. But I think for most people the answer is unequivocally yes.
I guess if you think the bare minimum for friendship is someone you say “Hi” to at the water cooler every once in a while then no, you can have lots of friends aside from your partner. But for many people your friendship/relationship with your partner consumes most of your time (outside of work). Add on to that kids, and that’s a wrap.
For most people that replaces the majority of the strong friendships that might have had when they were younger. Sure maybe they still have a couple of friends, hence the “less”.
Actually now that I wrote that I realize the answer is no. People consolidate their friendships partly due to maturity, but also in large part because they find friendship/companionship in their partner. People don’t get partners because they have less friends, they have less friends in part because they get a partner.
Feels like it’s off to a solid start. Change can be good sometimes. I’m using wef wef and feeling right at home! I’m also watching all the apps.
Ultimately, it’s the users and mods they make the community … not a company. I’m also really rooting for them entire fediverse to conceptually take off!!
When there was an influx of users during the Reddit blackout, they said that they were getting lots of trolls and they couldn’t keep up with the moderation. Lemmy.world and Sh.itjust.works had the most traffic and were letting people sign up without vetting so the Beehaw admins decided to defederate those communities.
Yep, they said they intend to federate again once they have access to better tools to help with the bots and stuff. Hopefully with the new influx of tons of people, that will also mean more people working on tools and apps to improve things.
But since sh.itjust.works is federated with lemmy.world, if beehaw refederate with sh.itjust.works then lemmy world users will be able to interact with beehaw, (via sh.itjust.works) correct?

Making it harder for people to sign up and interact with each other, during the most important week of the platform’s existence, I hope they didn’t take that lightly
So I don’t understand your mentality here. What do the people hosting servers as a hobby owe former R3dd!t users to make their migration easier??? Seems entitled to think people who are literally paying out of their own pockets right now for people like us to talk to each other owe us even more. Geez.
I guess that’s where our opinions differ. Seems like it should be just a blip when someone wants to take their ball and go home. Just choose another ball, man.
Ah, but it can be. WE are literally the community builders here. Beehaw is not part of our community so just look and post at lemmy.world, or lemmy.ml, or lemmy.ca, or sh.itjust.works, or any other instance. To me, this is literally why this YSK post exists - to let people know to focus on conversations outside of that instance.
Just a heads up, we love our admins around here, they are great. Beehaw defederated from people because they were afraid of being able to mod everything with the influx of users with limited mod tools available. They will likely refederate eventually. For now I unsubbed from all beehaw communities and dont miss anything. The cool thing is if you do end up on an instance with admins you don’t like, there are like 10,000 other instances you can go to.
But the admins here are usually pretty transparent with everything going on. They are just some dude with a server in their closet. Not some cooperation that are making decisions with profit in mind. They are doing it for the community.
From what I understand, admins here are literally paying out of pocket AND volunteering their time to host us. Just as when I invite my friends over to my house for a BBQ, if one of them brings a friend that starts shitting in my pool, I tell them to GTFO and probably stop hosting BBQs for a while even though my friends who DIDN'T shit in my pool still end up suffering the consequences.

IMO it will diversify into kind of walled gardens, there will be servers that’ll defederate all commercial communities and those that will welcome them. And all those in-between. And people will choose their servers.
Absolutely. Ideally this would also be implemented on a backend level. An easy way to create multi sublemmies and share and Link to them would make it possible for massive communities to form on and migrate to Lemmy in a sustainable way.
Federation should ideally work not only at a server level, but a community level.
If there’s three different /c/aww communities across different servers, their respective mods should be able to join into a meta-community.
There is the potential for a less moderated child community to end up polluting the meta community, so membership should probably be able to be revoked by majority mod vote.
But aggregating a meta-community across each sub community could allow for a much more seamless growth between servers and avoid the duplication that’s inevitable by putting the onus on the client-side.
Is that a reference to how the eugenics wars were supposed to happen in the 90’s but obviously those came and went so they’re softly retconning when the eugenics wars took place?
I kinda like this theory. The temporal wars are still affecting the timeline, but time is pushing back to repair the timeline. In-universe reason to both retcon and act as a story element as well (with hopefully a Wesley Crusher appearance at some point?)
That fits with how they described time travel and alternative universe’s working in the DTI books too which is nice. It takes a major shift to the probability wave to spin off a new timeline (Human physiology difference like light sensitivity or the Narada incursion) smaller changes collapse back into the main timeline quickly.
