Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !thelinuxexperiment_channel
you need to know the channel name you want to subscribe to using this format:
channelname@instancename
example is [email protected] (i just browsed a random channel in peertube)
looks like my instance doesn’t know this channel yet, but if i search it a few times or directly accessing this channel link, it will hopefully find it
Y’all should try it! I loved seeing it popping on other instances’ /instances page, and seeing it polling other communities. Also changing the background in my theme was lit....
It was a fun experience trying to get to all work. I did originally try on my raspberrypi but I ended up just giving up on that due to the issues you mentioned. But it’s nice to have my own instance, and slowly populating the all feed with new subscriptions and well I owned the domain va11halla.bar I had to use it for my name.

In the weeks after Elon Musk acquired Twitter Inc., hundreds of advertisers paused spending on the platform, wary of the changes the mercurial billionaire might bring to the social media platform. Months later, many still haven’t returned, despite efforts by Twitter’s sales team to woo them back with steep discounts and new safety tools. From September to October of last year, the top 10 advertisers on Twitter spent $71 million on ads, according to estimates from Pathmatics. In the past two months, that figure dropped to just $7.6 million, a decline of 89%, the research firm said. Twitter’s top ad customers historically have included marquee names like HBO, Amazon, IBM and Coca-Cola. Despite a slight uptick in daily users since early 2022, Twitter’s revenue has fallen by 50% since October as a result of a “massive decline” in advertising, Musk said earlier this month. Major brands such as Mondelez International Inc., Coca-Cola Co., Merck & Co. Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. and AT&T Inc. still hadn’t resumed ad spending on the platform as of February, according to Pathmatics.
Major media agencies like IPG and Horizon Media, which advised clients to pause or consider suspending their Twitter campaigns after Musk took over, have not yet encouraged marketers to return, according to people familiar with the situation. One media buyer said that their firm’s initial recommendation to clients after Musk took over was a “red light,” as in, stop spending. They’re still advising clients proceed with caution — the light has changed to “amber” — as the company still appears to be in a chaotic state. Twitter is preparing to remove verification from accounts that don’t pay a subscription fee, and in recent weeks Musk got into a public spat with a disabled ex-employee. This week, the company disclosed that its source code was leaked online.
Musk has taken steps to shore up advertiser confidence. Shortly after the billionaire acquired the San Francisco-based company in November, as hate speech made a resurgence on the platform, Twitter tried to win back wary ad customers by rolling out a new product that would let marketers block their ads from appearing alongside tweets that contain certain keywords or images — called adjacency controls. “If it’s like a train accident or a war scene, then probably a family-friendly brand is not going to want to advertise right next to that,” Musk explained at the Morgan Stanley technology conference in early March.
And late last year, as the company scrambled to win back marketers who had fled, Twitter started offering advertisers major discounts – in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars in free ads – if they would start spending again. Twitter is no longer broadcasting those deals, but several advertisers said they know they could get them if they did want to return. The company didn’t respond to requests for comment about its advertisers.
One of the biggest barriers to spending more, advertisers say, is Musk’s own behavior on Twitter. In the past month alone, Musk defended the cartoonist who created “Dilbert” after he went on a racist tirade and made a sexist joke about women being “dangerous and violent.” This week, he responded to — and thereby amplified — a tweet that promoted an anti-trans narrative around the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.
Advertisers have expressed concern about Musk’s erratic decision making and how his personal brand blurs with Twitter’s corporate image. For instance, the same weekend as the Super Bowl — traditionally a major advertising event for Twitter — Musk was asking engineers to adjust the algorithm to boost his own tweets into users’ feeds. “It’s this intangible wild card,” the media buyer said about Musk, asking for anonymity to preserve relationships at Twitter. “We need to work with clients to understand from a values perspective: Is this a partner you want to be in business with?” The short answer for many advertisers right now is no.
Read the Big Take: Musk’s Empire Becomes a Burning Problem for Washington Last month, the company expanded its adjacency controls so that brands can block their ads from showing up next to specific user accounts, too. Author Exclusions, as Twitter calls them, let advertisers choose as many as 1,000 handles that they want their ads kept away from, in addition to keywords and topics. “Brands need to consider the source and what a person stands for,” said Jason Lee, brand safety officer at Horizon Media, a leading US media agency. “The irony, of course,” said another media buyer from a large agency, is “the No. 1 or No. 2 account that we’re going to look to avoid is the owner of the company.” Twitter, which has historically gotten more than 85% of its annual revenue from advertising, has long specialized in brand advertising, offering marketers a place to put their message so that it would appear in the same conversation around major events like the World Cup or the Super Bowl. But many major events aren’t feel-good moments, and brands have also worried about spikes in hate speech and other unsavory content.
The company is working with outside agencies like DoubleVerify and Integral Ad Science to audit its advertising adjacency tools to assure marketers that their ads aren’t running next to inappropriate posts. The company has also hired Sprinklr, a social media strategy and analytics firm, to audit the prevalence of hate speech on the service. But marketers say the results from the various audits either haven’t been clear enough to continue spending, or they are still waiting to see the results. There are other issues. Advertisers are reducing their digital spending more generally, due to economic pressures and a reduction in ad effectiveness after Apple Inc. implemented new privacy rules on iPhones — a change that’s affecting Twitter’s competitors, too. Musk hasn’t scared away all of his advertisers — during an interview on Bloomberg Television in late February, WPP Plc’s Mark Read, who runs the largest media agency in the world, said he thought Twitter “seems to be a lot more stable” than it had been a few months earlier. “I think clients want to start to look about how they can come back onto Twitter,” he added. During his Morgan Stanley interview, Musk thanked Read for his support, and called out Apple and Walt Disney Co. as advertisers that “stuck with us.” Until more big names come back, some smaller advertisers are filling the spots reaching Twitter’s still-sizable audience, which Musk says is 250 million people daily. FinanceBuzz, a personal finance website, has spent more on Twitter ads each quarter since Musk’s takeover, and didn’t even think about leaving the platform, said Franck Delbecque, a senior media buyer who leads FinanceBuzz’s social media strategy. “We have not reconsidered as long as it’s meeting our platform goals,” said Delbecque, whose site spent has less than $1 million on ads in the first quarter.
Since Musk took over, FinanceBuzz has actually seen ad performance improve. The company primarily measures performance in terms of conversions, or how many users visit its website after viewing an ad. Delbecque thinks changes to Twitter’s algorithm, which controls where, when and why ads are shown, have led to better conversion rates. Twitter is “definitely on par with other platforms,” he said.

In a step that may be aimed at keeping more workers from exiting, Musk has offered employees new equity grants that will start to vest after six months and will offer them the chance to cash out some of their equity in about a year, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Still, advertisers have worried about the churn on Twitter’s sales team, thinned through multiple rounds of layoffs since October. Some marketers said they have had several new account managers or sales reps during that time, which has hurt relationships and confidence that Twitter will deliver as promised. Those concerns were renewed in early March after yet another round of personnel cuts. It was reported publicly that Chris Reidy, Twitter’s head of sales, was laid off with colleagues, but employees and partners later realized Reidy is still at Twitter — adding to the confusion among marketers.
“There needs to be a clear understanding of their organization,” said one media agency executive. “Regardless of Elon, like who is running the shop here?”

Like the others say, there’s a downside as it blocks all content from accounts marked as bots by their creator. But on the website of your instance, clixk your name at the top right (or on mobile, hamburger button then click your name), then click Settings. The option is in there, and in my experience generally will sync through to any app you use. Your app may have a way to set this as well.
This happened to me consistently for about 9 years.
The instances were terrifying if I was stressed out. I’d see people in my room screaming at me, people just floating silently watching me sleep, spiders on the wall and ceiling, snakes falling on me, to name a few. One day I looked at my camera roll and found a picture of the empty corner of my room from 2AM, it freaked me out, but then I remembered I was tring to capture a shot of the spider webs full of snakes I thought I saw. Sometimes I’d be across the room from my bed in a full panic, turning on the light switch. It was wild.
If I was not stressed, it would be innocuous things, like a chair that wasn’t supposed to be in the room, or pipes in my ceiling. One time there were gnomes showing me the tiny, glittery door to their world! Weird shit, but not scary.
Then I started antidepressants and they all stopped. Turns out night terrors, or waking terrors as I called them, can be a sign of depression. Who knew? I just thought my brain was a bitch, but she just needed happy pills.
Idea: if you mod a community on a lemmy.somewhere you should be able to migrate it to lemmy.elsewhere which would include all post & comment links being forwarded and subbed users having their subscription updated to reflect the new location....
This is indeed a very important feature. It needs to take into account that if similar name community exists on another server how the merger would proceed as well in terms of exporting and importing cache of posts and comments.
But generally it should be easier to transfer from one instance to other.
Hi, I figured out how to get docker containers to join an existing network with putting “networks” into the respective sections of the docker-compose.yml...
Edit: I fixed my problem by re-making my nginx reverse proxy and a do-over of my proxy hosts. I have yet to restart my server, though …
I’m a beginner with all of this stuff, so I’m sure I’m not assessing correctly what’s wrong with my setup. It’s more of a methodical “trial and error” approach, that I have, where I change one thing at a time and see what happens … quite time consuming but it helps me to figure things out along the way :)
However, if you have an idea, what could be wrong with my server, I’d appreciate any ideas: I run Nginx Reverse Proxy with nginx in a container within a custom network “my_network” and have assigned that container a fixed IP. I run other containers (portainer, mariadb, nextcloud, synapse) that all connect to the same custom network. The nginx container “see’s” the outside web with ports 80 and 443 openend on the firewall for that container’s fixed ip and routes traffic (and needed other ports) to my other containers. This is all working well and also works after restarting the server.
Now I tried to install a lemmy instance and got it up and running by bringing the lemmy containers in my custom network as well and proxy’img my nginx to the lemmy proxy. However, when I made a restart of the server, something broke and I cannot get the web-ui of NPM to load. I think somehow host names and/or IP adresses got mixed up somewhere. The containers start just fine, but I can’t access it with web-ui anymore. Also reverse proxy-ing doesn’t work, but if I open the needed ports on my firewall manually I can access the other services containers.
I hope this is even understandable, not sure if I’m using the correct terms …
Terminals with screens? What’s all that newfangled shit?
Nah, whippersnapper, this tech goes all the way back to teletypes. You didn’t get a fancy-shmancy “screen;” instead, it printed out the results of your commands. On actual paper!
Seriously though, that’s why the device files for terminals in Linux are named tty[$NUM] – “tty” is shorthand for “TeleTYpe.”
I believe it’s also why really primitive programs can’t scroll up and do things like writing an entire screen worth of content in order to emulate interactivity (as opposed to seeking the cursor backwards and replacing only the parts the program wants to replace): they’re using a version of the control protocol so primitive that it didn’t have a function to go backwards because teletypes didn’t need it due to physical impossibility. (That’s my theory, anyway – I haven’t dug deep enough into the guts of TERMCAP etc. to be sure. I’m also not actually old enough to have experienced that stuff, despite my joke above.)
Edit: look at this excerpt from man terminfo(5), for instance:
<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">Basic Capabilities
</span><span style="color:#323232;">The number of columns on each line for the terminal is given by
</span><span style="color:#323232;">the cols numeric capability. If the terminal is a CRT, then the
</span><span style="color:#323232;">number of lines on the screen is given by the lines capability.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">If the terminal wraps around to the beginning of the next line
</span><span style="color:#323232;">when it reaches the right margin, then it should have the am
</span><span style="color:#323232;">capability. If the terminal can clear its screen, leaving the
</span><span style="color:#323232;">cursor in the home position, then this is given by the clear
</span><span style="color:#323232;">string capability. If the terminal overstrikes (rather than
</span><span style="color:#323232;">clearing a position when a character is struck over) then it
</span><span style="color:#323232;">should have the os capability. If the terminal is a printing
</span><span style="color:#323232;">terminal, with no soft copy unit, give it both hc and os.
</span>
To this day, the info database entry for your virtual terminal has to specify that it’s capable of deleting a line of text instead of merely striking it out, because some terminals back in the day actually couldn’t!

Gotcha. I’m actually in the process of moving away from Namecheap because of an experience I just had with them. I tried to register a domain about a month ago (the domain my Lemmy instance is on) and it stopped the registration process immediately after I hit the Pay/Checkout/whatever button and told me to contact their support team to register it.
The error message said it was because the domain name was too similar to something that already existed, and that the support team would have to decide whether I’d be allowed to register it or not. So I went to another registrar and registered it with no issue. I really didn’t like that, and it’s enough to make them lose me as a decade+ long customer. I already use Route53 for DNS for all my domains, so it’s not like I was using them for anything else other than a registrar, so untangling that shouldn’t be too much of a pain.

Oh, ok, I thought I saw a post in this surprisingly comprehensive thread yesterday about private replies not working. Glad it’s just me, the connect app…or…the instance…says that no one’s user name exists. I’ll try again and then throw it over to a Connect support community, the dev there is squared away and responds fast. Thank you, u/Nuke! Pat On The Back, you.
