Very basic but enough to get started/ https://novakeith.net/2023/06/14/setting-up-lemmy-on-a-digital-ocean-droplet/

I’m not getting Microsoft Office or Apple quality mail clients, or word editors, but the fact that it’s always available to me is enough to make the trade off worth it. YMMV

For me it’s 100% Nextcloud. It was a pain to get working at first (and I’m dreading the day it breaks, if that happens). But it is so much more than just a self-hosted Dropbox solution:

• Maps
• Calendar
• Email
• Markdown editor (I’m using this to try and replace Google Drive for collaborative document editing with my friends; most of what we need can be achieved with Markdown formatting)
• I haven’t tried it but there is a Talk plugin that allows for video conferencing in browser;
• a bunch of other stuff I’ve never played with like mind maps, PDF conversion, music player, etc.

I’ve always wanted a Raktajino. There are some recipes online but I haven’t tried making it yet.

It forces Reddit’s hand even more IMO; if you start forcing a sub to stay on a certain topic by admin order (and not by mod’s / community “owner” choice), it really sets a weird tone for the community

Question about Vaultwarden. How does sync work? My browser extension for Bitwarden auto syncs to their server, is that possible with Vaultwarden? Or is it more for manual backup?

Thank you for !space@lemmy.link !

There was like 200 comments worth of discussion on this and it seems like it was implemented without much fanfare. What gives? This is one of the biggest gripes I had early on. I’m gonna shout this from the roof tops

This is my journey too

Yeah, mine used to be listed but now its not :(

Hmm, weird. It works for me now

English version reroutes to the Lemmy (musician) page

Honestly one of the best episodes of any Star Trek series, period.

I guess I’m not seeing any benefit to your plan over just having each of those communities you described run their own Lemmy instance. There is already LemmyNSFW.com for example. And then if they want a local community for music etc. they can have it, or subscribe to (a theoretical) LemmyMusic.com. Then users can have their home base but still subscribe to other remote communities.

If discovery is the concern, that can be solved more easily than building out a entirely new infrastructure like you are proposing.

Yeah that’s just dumb.

This is essentially happening now. All the big servers (Lemmy.world / beehaw / Lemmy.ml) host the lions share of the content and discussion. Me and my users are essentially a user server in your example.

I have loved the forum experience since about 25 years ago. I honestly don’t think I’m past it.

You can ask the Lemmy.ml admins to assign a new mod

RE: #3 - we can all choose to be kind to newcomers. Be patient with people as they make those “Testing from Mastodon - can you see this?” Type posts.

It’s insane that any CEO would point to Twitter and say, “that’s the model we want to follow”. They are making like 5 figures worth of money on subscriptions, they have lost tons of advertising due to their content policies in the Elon era, and people generally feel unsafe so a bunch of people left the platform. What is redeeming about any of that?
