Check this out.

Please, no.

Thanks so much for this! Been wondering about all of the other lemmy UI options out there. I’m currently hosting old reddit and alexandrite but now I have my eyes on Photon!

Just ignore them? I don’t see your point here at all. If you don’t want to eat Taco bell, don’t eat it???

Tbh, I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Part of FOSS and the internet in general is the ability to have choice over what you use and spend your time with. Just because Sync is out, doesn’t mean you can’t continue to use your FOSS apps. It just means that we now have an option for people who want to pay for a very polished experience.

I started on lemmy.world, then decided to learn self-hosting server infrastructure and made my own instance. Found a script that allows me to “auto-discover” all communities from given instance URLs, so I just added the instances that interest me. Boom, I have an instance with all of my favorite instances searchable and discoverable on “All”.

For those interested in the script you can find it here. Do note that you should NOT use the default settings and make sure to use an instance whitelist, otherwise it’ll pull every instance ever.

Yeah, but you’d lose out on being able to have a profile banner/photo.

Yeah pretty much.

It only pulls from communities you have subscribed to. Images aren’t duplicated per server, just text; so even if you find something nasty it’s not hosted by you and you can always delete comments from the database/block users from appearing in your instance.

Thought I’d throw my opinion into the ring here, since literally every comment is shitting on this.

Arc is a design project, that also happens to be a web browser. If you’re just calling this “another chromium fork”, I think you’re completely missing the point of who this product is for. First of all, it’s not for you.

Secondly, the design changes that arc is working on perfecting are pretty groundbreaking. The ability to customize the css and functionality of any web page without code and it saves your profiles for future use with a marketplace is super interesting to me. So much UI on modern websites is entirely unnecessary. As a designer, this is a dream.

Also, nobody is mentioning that their working on a Windows version THAT NATIVELY RUNS SWIFT ON WINDOWS. This is a big deal for future cross compatibility in general, why are so many people not looking at this?

Anyway that’s my rant. Trying to voice my opinions even if they’re the odd ones out to prevent a Lemmy based echo chamber. Feel free to disagree.

I knew you were going to say that! Mac OS always has all of the aesthetics! One can only hope we’ll get “pretty” windows apps eventually. Although, Microsoft would have to unify their UI first, and we all know that will never happen.

I like the image. Did you create it yourself manually, or do you have a screenshot program that prepared this for you?

Check out Cloudflare, with a D. It’s free and does exactly what you want.

In the mastodon search bar, enter the URL of the post/comment you want to reply to. It will show up in mastodon as a post once searched.

Note: if you’re replying to a comment or thread, you must include the community you’re posting in and the username you’re replying to into your reply or else Lemmy will not nest the threads correctly.

Yes. Easy deploy deploys a Lemmy server just like all the other methods. Easy deploy is just easier.

My GOD that is handsome.

Should work fine, just install Debian itself to the thumbdrive.

Same thing happened to me last week, I’m new to this as well! Just a heads up, if you’re trying to run a Lemmy instance through Yuno, their version is out of date, and doesn’t support photo uploads or mobile apps :(

Leave out the ’ ’

I spent days trying to go from 0-100 figuring out the technical stuff and was making myself very stressed out and upset. I decided to just go to Yunohost and it just made things dead simple and in retrospect, enjoyable.

When I’m ready to learn I’ll spin up a new server and try to implement the same services the “hard” way, but for now I’ll continue to enjoy all the benefits of self hosted with a dead simple solution for implementing it. Don’t let e-peens get you down.
