Well done, that’s quite a commitment. I watched a lot of trek as it aired, but I’ve still not quite seen all of TOS or ENT - and I’ve skipped out on the Kelvin films after 2009.
The most surprising one I think has been Prodigy; I didn’t expect it to be as compelling as it ended up being.
If you’re willing to do the full VPS route like it seems, check out Hetzner. In my experience, it has higher resources at a lower cost than other providers like DO.
I’ll check once the blackout is over. I guess I could have seen a repost, but I feel like OP was answering questions so if so they were committed to the scam.
These are just two different software projects that a Threadiverse instance can use. They federate with one another, so it doesn’t matter all that much if you have an account on a Kbin instance, or a Lemmy instance. The differences are in the interface, some functionality, and the tech stack used (Lemmy is written in Rust; Kbin in PHP).
There are 100+ instances of Lemmy, and ~10 instances of Kbin. Kbin is a much younger project (hence it might get missed), and it’s main instance, kbin.social seems to be experiencing more issues with the wave of new registrations. If you want to try Kbin, fedia.io might be a good instance to check out.
The Fediverse is everything that is connected via ActivityPub. You have Lemmy and Kbin, but you also have Mastodon serving as a Twitter analogue, PeerTube as a YouTube analogue, Pixelfed as an Instagram analogue, etcetera, all of which are part of the Fediverse umbrella.
The Threadiverse is just the “forum” side of the Fediverse, the Reddit-alikes. At this point that means just Lemmy and Kbin, but there’s no reason there couldn’t be more alternatives in the future.
I use Manjaro, but I run it like vanilla Arch (for example pacman/yay and not pamac). I find this to be a sweet spot for me - rolling releases are so incredibly nice, and Manjaro being slightly slower than Arch is good from a stability standpoint in my experience.
I use ZFS all over the place, including the root storage pool on my home server, which has overall been a great experience with systemd-boot.
I'm quite worried of how well this federation system will work in the long run, especially when more people coming from Rexxit. As people make more post/comments, every federated instance will have to cache more redundant contents from each other, which also will use more storage thus increasing the fee of every instance hoster. There's also another problem of visibility in search engines. Because Lemmy/Kbin can be hosted by anyone, it makes searching on a specific domain impossible, unlike how I can just add "reddit" in the search query. Also since there are multiple Lemmy/Kbin instances, there's a chance there'll be similar communities spread over, fragmenting the communities even further. Until they can find a way to fix those problem, I don't think federation is suited for large scale communities.
As for fragmentation problem, maybe adding a global search for communities like this will help reducing fragmentation. Users can still make their own community in their instance, while other people who don't need to can easily find the community they want.
Brittle Hollow spoilerRealizing that Brittle Hollow crumbling actually results in you being able to uncover more mysteries. I always tried to find some solution before it collapsed and frenetically search for a solution that didn’t even exist at the time. The simplicity of just waiting didn’t even cross my mind for so long.
Oh man I this is such a great post to realize that Lemmy/Kbin allows you to see the exact number of both upvotes and downvotes on a post and not just a fuzzy aggregate score. I missed that.
Thanks for posting, appreciated! If anyone has any good articles or questions they want to share, feel free to post. I am the mod there and I’m ready to help out.
Struggling to come up with ideas for dinner. Looking like it’s gonna be another chicken fucking salad. Can’t bear to cook anything over the cooker. Might even just get sandwhich stuff which has the benefit of being able to tell the weans to make their fucking own dinner for once.
