Oh, i actually didn't know Kbin (despite these posts lol) was being seen from Lemmy. Iirc when i first saw Kbin a few days ago, Kbin could see Lemmy but Lemmy couldn't see Kbin. Ie it's like it was a partial federation.
I'm curious on if that was accurate and if it was, what caused it in a technical sense. Given i'm a dev working on some ActivityPub stuff, i'm quite interested in it. Though i've not yet used the spec, clearly hah.
How can I tell that a post is from another instance when browsing on Kbin? Just scanning the card for this thread, it isn't apparent that it's federated content.
Is looking at the username how you can tell where a post is coming from? I was so confused a while ago with posts saying "something something fellow Beehaw users!" and it was marked as (kbin.social) lol.
Curious if anyone else here is on kbin having issues accessing this. I tried altering the URL a few ways, can't seem to get to it on kbin. And yet, I am on /m/[email protected] just fine.
Oh hello, my instance is on NixOS!
There’s a NixOS module for lemmy, but it’s kind of broken right now and in the middle of a PR. If you want, you can replace the current nix package with the one from the fork, and successfully deploy it, however, if I were you, I’d just wait a week or so.

and, that’s it!
However, I’m not sure if it will cleanly deploy, as you might get an error while starting.
If so, please check postgresql logs sudo journalctl -fu postgresql. The error will most likely be something like this:
[…] [10289] ERROR: permission denied: “RI_ConstraintTrigger_a_16639” is a system trigger […]
If that happens, you need to manually run the migration until the fix is merged into Lemmy. Here’s how I did it:
After that’s done, you can exit the postgres CLI by typing q, exit the postgres user and just simply sudo systemctl restart lemmy which should start properly now, and be accessible to the outside network.
Open it and it will give you the initial setup screen. Good luck!
Note that the PR got merged into nixpkgs now, but hasn’t made it’s way forward (see nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=236295), so that’s why you need to do the override for now Also, a fix for the issue with the migrations (if still occuring) has been merged yesterday, but it’s not in any release yet, and especially not in nixpkgs. You could most likely get around it by using overrideAttrs to change the source to make it build from a newer commit.
While we were talking I updated lemmy-server using overrideAttrs for my own use. It’s honestly not that hard. You change the commit, specify some random incorrect hashes, build it, nix screams at you that the hash is incorrect (and generously provides the correct one), put the correct hash, and build again. Done.
@CodingAndCoffee So nice to be able to comment on this straight from Mastodon, too. Though it's weird that the existing comments don't show up on Mastodon when I paste the URL to this post in my search box (t)here.
So I’m looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I’ve tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I’ve tried searching in the “communities” search, and I’m just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?
What is a reddit thread if not a root tweet with a bunch of replies (and replies to the replies) formatted in a way that you see the organization of the replies?
I like this idea and the Mastedon app seems much faster to post… that’s really my only wish list item from lemmy right now. I’m figuring that’s a temporary imbalance of increase activity and server bandwidth/speed? I understand we are decentralized but so is Mastodon and at least my instance is very smooth and fast.
I can't speak to Lemmy's implementation (I refuse to go near lemmy on account of the maintainers "politics"), but there's nothing fundamental about threading that should make posting slower.
Loading threads here is... different... work than loading your feed in mastodon, it's possibly slower, but posting is from a theoretical standpoint the same. Probably you're just seeing the effect of your lemmy instance not running on sufficient hardware (very understandable given the explosion in user space size).
In addition to the more important issues that fedi-tips discusses I find their stance on anti-vax and US-election conspiracy theories... unappealing, which you can see being discussed here: https://lemmy.ml/post/143057
And that they haven't been shy about exerting their power for political purposes. The hardcoded slur-filter was explicitly about discouraging "right wingers" (I put that in quotes because I suspect their definition of right wing and mine differ), and they at least use to be open about their intentions to moderate the instances that they run as explicitly "left wing" (though I don't see a reference to that on the current site).
with how needful WF is of wiki use I’d love to see one hosted by DE itself and while Im wishing an in game way to access it as I think EVE online provides iirc. Because while I have the luxury of a multi monitor set up and so run wiki on one WF on another when Im chasing something particular, I know not everyone especially console tenno have that luxury.
It’s mostly torrents that are dangerous without a VPN, since as a torrent user you’re also redistributing the content in question, and the peer-to-peer nature of them makes you very visible to copyright trolls.
Direct download is generally much safer. Specifics vary by jurisdiction, but in many countries merely downloading (or streaming) a pirated copy of a game or film is not a criminal offense, and is not in practice vulnerable to a civil lawsuit either.
Avoid torrents, know good direct download sites (these will vary by what content you’re interested in, look around using various search engines to get around DMCA delistings), use rudimentary privacy protections like private DNS and HTTPS-only mode in your browser, and you’ll get far without a VPN.
Tor is also a powerful, free option, but it’s generally overkill for non-torrent piracy and very hard to configure for torrents.
The simple act of trying to transfer ownership of an iPhone from one daughter to another this week almost broke me. I hate how difficult they make everything.
There were some self inflicted complications to be fair. I couldn’t fully back up the broken phone because it was in a family group with an expired payment card. My wife hadn’t had her iPhone for years so that was a pain in the arse to resolve which included waiting nearly two weeks for an email from Apple. Even when I got into her iCloud account updating the bank card failed every time, also you can’t modify a family group in the browser. I ended up borrowing a family members old iphone so I could set it up as my wifes and disband the family group, then update the payment method directly on the broken phone. We could then pay the 70p or whatever for additional storage and back it up. I couldn’t factory reset the other phone because in addition to the passcode, you also needed the screen time passcode which nobody could remember. I eventually installed iTunes on my PC and wiped it that way. I mean if you know all the security information I imagine it’s a lot easier but I wouldn’t have had this much trouble had they been android phones.
Not an Apple fanboy in the slightest but one could argue that the fact it was so difficult (without knowing ALL the security details) is a feature not a bug.
I think this needs to be redone as just childfree. The name of it now seems to be [email protected] which means that clicking on the name leads to a non-existent /c/childfree.
God, I wish there were more “X of the week” type shows. I know breaking bad and a bunch of really great shows came out and made the golden age of serial story heavy TV happen - but man, I’m exhausted having to watch 20 hours of something to get any kind of plot resolution.
I mess the days where you could just watch 40 minutes of a show and have a whole story start to finish. So much less exhausting not having to get super invested. I don’t have the energy for serial TV shows these days!
I blame CSI and Law and Order. I think they oversaturated us with “of the week” procedurals drama so collectively we all jumped ship to these shorter, high concept shows.
