A perfectly reasonable language. None of this Gen Z rubbish.

Something something better times. Shakes stick at sky.

It has

Or do you have an existing project that requires additional effort to enable further development?

So I assume the Lemmy devs should be good to reapply.

Here’s a handy site to check your federation status: https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=social.packetloss.gg

It looks like all the sites are lagging, which can sometimes mean there is an issue. What’s the specs of the server? Can you try restarting it and seeing if that helps?

There are issues for servers hosted in places like Australia because of the latency in communicating with .world due to how big it is and how much data it sends because of this.

Have only seen the clip of the LMG employee saying what they said from GN’s video, but seems quite an over-reaction from GN and the other company IMO. Definitely some form of baiting for views, even if parts of the video are valid.

I’d say Nginx Proxy Manager is the easiest reverse proxy I’ve used.

There is already an update. 0.18.2-rc1

You can apply it now.

Hard agree also - and the sign up button on each instance should just link to that randomised list, and people can join from there. Too many people go to “big” communities on the two or three big servers and want to be part of that - its a misunderstanding of how federation works and the UI needs to teach people that it doesnt really matter.

I feel like i go around in circles saying this - there are literally hundreds of servers. If servers had caps, i.e. user caps and community caps, then people would be forced to spread out, rather than relying on two or three big servers. Otherwise we just have a central server, which is Reddit with extra steps.

I’m on hetzner who also block port 25. I finally worked out what I needed to change to get it to work. As your using the ansible playback, all you need to change the lines inside the .hjson file to match those of an external mail service. I used Mailersend (3000 free emails once you’re verified). If you’re using port 587 use starttls as your encryption.

Backup for redundancy. Keep the wife happy when I take one down for maintenance etc.

• Vaultwarden
• 2 pi holes
• the suite of arrrs + nzbget
• jellyfin
• ombi
• OMV for a SMB share
• Nextcloud
• homer as a dashboard
• homeassistsnt
• uptime kuma
• koillection

I did also have a wordpress site but that was too much hassle so the container is stopped at the moment.

All on docker (except OMV, and home assistsnt on its own pi4) and using portainer for sanity.

Internal SSL using a domain and nginx proxy manager.

This has definitely been a problem with communities being created on the bigger instances and not utilising smaller instances. Happy for someone to say I’m wrong etc, but I think there would be merit in capping instances to x number of users or communities, to force the user base to spread out.

Also, the way signups work, (ie you find a community you like then click sign up but that signs you up to that instance), further exacerbates the issue and the confusion around how federation works. The sign up links on each instance should lead either to a page with an instance finder, or to a random instance that matches the profile of, and is already federated with, the instance you were on. Otherwise the larger instances have a monopoly and are just going to lead to a bad user experience when they can’t cope with the traffic.

It’s a self defeating prophecy if users only want to sign up to the instances with the big communities, because then everyone is going to keep creating communities there and nobody is going to want to join a smaller instance.

I might be talking nonsense and am happy to be told why that is all wrong :)

Thanks, i don’t want to unblock port 25 particularly, i’ve been trying to use port 587 with no luck (I get an error about connections). Not sure if the issue is with my postfix relay or with my lemmy hjson file. No matter what i try to change, i can’t seem to get a connection to work.

I’ll keep trying :)

Hey, have you managed to get emails working? Hetzner blocks port 25 and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get emails to send using any of the external services.
