Gonna be honest itās kinda weird to me as someone who did just move over that thereās a bunch of posts from people who just found the Fediverse claiming it as home while thereās people who have been here since itās creation. Itās got the implication that this was created as some sort of next jump from Reddit which doesnāt really seem to be the case from my perspective.
I see what you mean to an extent, and I also just moved over, but itās worth remembering that Digg -> Reddit was the same afaik. Like Reddit had been around and established for a decent amount of time before the fall of Digg. (This is second-hand info because I wasnāt around at the time)
Iāve been on reddit for a couple years before the flood from Digg. The quality of content and especially comments went down right then, and never recovered.
Depends entirely on the subreddit, in my experience. Places like AskHistorians didnāt even exist when the great Digg exodus occurred. My favorite sub was /r/cfb which also benefited greatly from the mainstream popularity.
Not coincidental that both of these are relatively strongly moderated compared to many of the biggest/default subs.
That feeling makes sense, but I think everyone knows that the Fediverse wasnāt created specifically to give them a landing in this event, just like Reddit wasnāt created to catch the Digg refugees, etc. More of a ānext phase in the evolution of this conceptā, and while it took a catastrophe, theyāre ready to consider that itās time to move on now.
The trick is going to be walking that line between preserving what made the Fediverse great and not alienating the newcomers. I think thereās room for everyone, though, and really the big advantage of the Fediverse - we donāt have to agree to co-exist, and can even co-existing completely separately if needed.
I think you bring up a pretty important point about federation in that it allows for and even encourages expansion in some ways, so thatās a good way to keep optimistic about it. I guess I just feel a little embarrassed. Especially when you look at posts like the recent one asking Lemmy users how they feel about the reddit refugees, and itās flooded with responses from Reddit refugees instead offering unsolicited feedback about design choices. Then you have threads like this with people laying claim to the fediverse more or less. It just feels like some kind of a Christopher Columbus situation. While I realize that might be a little tone-deaf itās the best analogy I have for it.
Any community is a sum of itās members, good bad, or otherwise. I think there will be a wave of us Reddit refugees, but also word is going to spread to other places like Meta and hopefully bring in even more people. Getting people sorted into servers that are going to be able to handle the load, or even better getting them to host their own servers is going to be the way to go. Sorry if weāre stumbling all over your garden in the meantime.

That part still worries me a smidge, and itās somewhat related to my other concern about funding/scaling. As more of the general public discover and move over, the % of the general population willing and able to host their own instance is going to steadily decrease. Not saying that weāre all gonna die or anything, but itās going to be a shift and weāll have to continue to adapt.
Yeah, thatās why I donāt like much how they are using this place to repost memes or tweets. Itās not content I really like, a written thought like yours will always be more genuine and personalized.
beehaw would be the perfect place for it, but theyāre not gonna create communities until July. May be I can try lemmy.ml. I wanted to be here because it seems to be the best of both worlds (lemmyās anarchism vs beehawās restrictions).
Itās when it happens in excess that itās ADHD. ND disabilities (from my understanding Iām not a doctor) are typically normal things that everyone experiences that are happening in excess. Everyone fidgets with things, everyoneās mind wanders, itās totally normal to be distracted, but when itās frequent and severe enough to interrupt your daily obligations does it become a disability.
I struggle with learning how to program because I keep losing focus on what the code Iām writing does. Iām not diagnosed but it sure sounds like ADHD to me.
Interesting, I have adhd and am quite the opposite, I love coding too much, the hyper focus kicks in and I canāt not focus on my code, fk eating, or using the bathroom, Iāll burn through every break I was supposed to take. Best employee ever I guess lol yah gotta find your passion, the thing your adhd brain excels at (your superpower some call it) and make it your career, and then focusing wonāt be an issue at all! (in that one area)
Pretty much anything I can. Host OS is mostly Debian with Docker, only the Git Server is running on Alpine. Hardware-wise everything is running on Proxmox with an FreeBSD NAS for backup and data storing
It works fine for my use-case which is basically just tracking my work-time for the employer Iām working at, so I donāt really use the freelancing options like invoicing.
Had some problems with the docker container, because they did some breaking changes, but overall it works for me.
It also supports SAML so I can use it with Keycloak and there is an app for the iPhone, which Iām using that works nicely with it.
Hi, thank you for your comment. I was wondering if you could tell me more about the Lemmy instance you have hosted. Which ports did you have to forward? What are some of the problems you faced trying to host it?
The lemmy instance works fine so far. I had some problems migrating the nginx config file from the lemmy manual migrated to traefik, but it works with this guide here.
Iām not really forwarding ports, but Iām rather using a more complex setup. I have two devices - my router and an external VPS hosted in a datacenter. These devices are connected via WireGuard. On the VM where all my services are installed there is traefik installed which is used as reverse proxy for the services and does TLS. The VPS has HAProxy configured to the internal VM in TCP mode, which makes the services available from outside and is important to get valid Letās Encrypt certificates as Iām not using DNS Verification.
I know itās a bit hard to understand, but it works fine for me and Iām not depending on any third-providers (other than the Hoster of the VPS, which I can easily swap if needed).
Sorry off topic, but any chance you could explain to me whatās the difference between up and down voting here Vs. karma? Are they not all just fake internet points?
Karma is the total upvotes - downvotes across all posts made by an account on reddit; on the fediverse there is only upvotes (likes or boosts depending on implementation) and downvotes (dislikes) per post. Theoretically you could calculate it for your account, but because you cant display it anywhere (and it isnt used for anything) it wouldnt be of much use.
RDR2 suffers heavily from the same problem as GTAVās single player mode: itās a movie posing as a video game and both aspects suffer for it.
RDR2 would have been great if it was just the part where you wander around tracking critters and collecting flowers and playing cowboy dress-up, but the game really doesnāt want you to do that. Not to belabor the point, but between how unpredictable the connection between āinteract with item/character Xā and āstart mission with character Yā can be and the gameās tendency to fail missions the second you go off-script, RDR2 often felt like it was directed by someone who actively resented the concept of player agency.
You articulated my issue with it perfectly. In theory it was this amazing open world with tons of player freedom, but the minute you engage with the actual story at all you have no choice in anything. There was one quest where I HAD to rescue Micah and kill a butt load of people which really annoyed me given I was going for a white hat run.
Pixel 6a. Was using pixel 4 before I washed it with my trouser, best phone I have owned. I miss headphone jack. I donāt have any Apple products other than a iPad.
