I personally blocked those communities. They just took up too much of my feed with low quality content.

vynlwombat , to selfhosted in If I self host a Lemmy instance for just myself and maybe a few friends are there any risks?

How much disk space would some need to plan for a small lemmy instance?

pe1uca ,

I’m running it in the smallest VPS of vultr with 25GB of disk.
This instance only has 3 users, with me being the only active. It says it’s been up for almost a month and I’ve only used 3GB.

Here are the docker volumes which have the actual data of your instance, and from inside the DB the biggest table is the one called activity which the devs said it’s only sometimes used to validate the data, but could be truncated if needed (there’s a schedule task which only keeps up to 6 months).
Also the thing to have in mind is to properly configure the logs of whichever installation guide you follow.
After that I’ve seen other admins say the next biggest is the media uploaded (from bigger instances).

There are a lot of communities across the fediverse based off of r/196, where the only rule is that you have to post something before leaving. I ended up blocking most of those communities because of the spam.

Surprised I’m not banned from there, Ive commented on posts from those communitues multiple times before and never once posted

MinusPi ,

It’s not exactly enforceable

loke ,

I accidentally subscribed to it, and since I get a 500 error every time I try to visit it (problem with fedia.io I think) I cannot unsubscribe.

It's kind of annoying.

marswarrior , to linux in What is your favorite GNOME distribution?
@marswarrior@lemmy.world avatar

Fedora because most devs provide an rpm file to conveniently install, and fedora is very stable even though the package versions are newer than ubuntu, which is also another reason I like fedora.
But I don’t use Gnome anymore because I moved to tiling WMs on Arch.

sqrambledeggs , to piracy in Guide: The idiot proof guide to downloading ebooks off IRC. With Pictures and everything!

My girlfriend is a voracious reader, so anything that helps me find new ebooks for her is much appreciated!

kostel_thecreed ,

I would recommend applying for MAM then, they have an extremely helpful community, and special groups for different genres of books, which have recommended me a ton of books I’ve really enjoyed.

p.s. one of the easiest private trackers to stay in, so don’t let that intimidate you!

MonkCanatella OP ,

Agreed, and I have found some things that IRC and libgen/anna’s archive didn’t have. Then again a lot of the difficult to find epubs are extremely cheap but even so I would rather own the thing than have some shitty drm version that only allows my to use kindle or whatever

kostel_thecreed ,

It’s very easy to de-drm using calibre, but yeah, agreed.

MonkCanatella OP ,

Yes so if you can’t find it anywhere, it’s almost certainly a really cheap niche ebook that can be had for cheap, just stay away from the DRM bookstores and I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

Though I will say, de-DRMing your ebook is not for the faint of heart. Firstly Claibre doesn’t support it anymore so you have to through some somewhat difficult to trust back channels and yeah it’s a whole thing that I’d rather avoid it altogether.

Though if you find it trivial yourself, you would do us all a great good if you made a step by step guide for your mateys

wefwef.app advertised as mobile-first client for Lemmy

lemmy.world/post/367599

Things are moving fast. Let’s see how it turns out to be atleast until we get Apollo/Boost/Thunder etc with multi-platform feature parity.

AlmightySnoo ,
@AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world avatar

I’d love for wefwef to have a Material Design theme automatically applied when using an Android phone, but other than that it’s right now the perfect Lemmy app and it’s extremely fast when you install it with Chrome!

SomeRandomWords ,

I want to use wefwef but I just can’t get past the fact that it looks like a single page app designed exclusively for iOS. I think it’s the permanent back button which you basically never see on Android because it has a dedicated back button/action.

beefstu , to showerthoughts in Lemmy is so good right now for no particular reason

Give it time… Once something gets enough attention people will look to make money off it. Enjoy it now

💯❤️

I have no idea if it works but you could try your luck with Gadgetbridge

Thanks I’ll take a look. Didn’t expect it to pretty much take control of the whole device haha

I think your best bet is this: gadgetbridge.org

MysticSmear , to nostupidquestions in Do people get partners because as we get older we have less friends?
@MysticSmear@lemmy.world avatar

I wish it was as easy as it was when we were kids and on the playground. You would just show someone your sweet dinosaur toy and ask them to play with you and boom friends for life. Or until mom got tired of sitting in the bench. Whichever happened first.

wayoflife ,

It’s also a lot harder to find good friends because of our increase in life problems, emotional needs, a lot less free time compared to when we were children. We lack the time, energy and motivation to form new relationships after working 8+ hours a day. We don’t even have a free spot to hang out like when we were kids and the spontaneous nature to talk and play with others. We are much more afraid now that people will judge us. Also trusting a random ass dude feels much more dangerous now than when i was a kid lol.
