Active enough considering the scale of the community.

Hey! Didn’t even know you could ping people. I’m not super active but I’m here every so often. What’s up?

I’m all for defederating Hexbear, but lemmy.ml is absolutely huge compared to Hexbear. To motivate the community to do that you’d need quite a bit of proof. Or at least something rather compelling. Do you have any proof of what you’re referring to?

Probably my wheelchair. It’s a pretty nifty little chair that has quite a few unique features. Also I would need it to get there anyway. Otherwise maybe one of my drawings.

This is a great suggestion. It’s a very useful thing to have. People are always asking me for help with things, I’m the only one with tools I guess and I only have a small box, mostly cheap stuff from harbor freight. But it works!

I’ve relaxed with it quite a bit recently. But I still like having them on me at all times. There’s times I like wearing it. Especially certain places like the doctors.

As frustrating as that would be, it wouldn’t be permanent I know they’re very serious with backups. A roll back is annoying but not really that damaging.

Thanks! Now I get it.

Thank you for your response, but can you explain like I’m five? Lol

I’m glad that helped!

It’s actually pretty straight forward once someone takes the time to explain it. I’ll try.

These ! Links are supposed to be universal I think. !futurama@lemmy.world

Then there’s the long URL, https://lemmy.ml/c/futurama@lemmy.world

First you start with your instance then /c/ just like Reddit did with r/ it means you’re looking for a community, then an @ to target another instance.

In this example I started at lemmy.ml told it I was looking for a community, then told it where the that community lives in this case lemmy.world

When searching for a community by URL use the website only. No apps currently support it yet I think.

Edit: you can also just do it in the URL like this

https://lemmy.world/c/catsubs@kbin.social

!catsubs@kbin.social

Some people think it’ll work just extremely slowly! Lol we’ll see I guess.

Some people are extremely skeptical, while others encourage it strongly. I’m an update this post later with how well it works. I’m not too worried about it, because I’m literally expecting to be the only user. It’ll probably run just fine for my purposes, but I’m not expecting to use it as my primary account or anything. Really it’s just an experiment.

I’m attempting with Lemmy Easy Deploy now. I tried a couple other methods already and failed. If I fail this time then I’ll have to try yet a fourth or possibly fifth way. But I think I’m out of options at that point lol. I’ll update this post if I get it started.

build the latest version yourself using Lemmy’s provided Docker files.

I’m attempting to compile 0.17.4 on a Raspberry pi 3 right now. So far it’s been basically frozen since 10am eastern. I’m not sure this option will work. But with that in mind I might try again with 0.17.3 if that means I don’t have to compile it.

I’m not sure. I know lemmy.ml has been up and down ever since the Reddit blackout.

This is something I never thought of but one day I’ll be grateful I know this lol

I’m trying to figure that out actually. I think ideally end to end encryption is important. No mega corporations like Meta. Being able to send pictures, videos, and pdfs. Being able to have calls both voice or video. I’m not sure any messenger has all of these things, but I’m on the hunt!

Okay I will then. But what’s the difference? And why so many linking methods?
