You can’t have a Lemmy wide rule for anything because that’s not how federation works.

Speedrunning the debian download process. You should post that time.

I switched from Keycloak to Authentik because I thought it would be simpler. In some ways it is, but in others it so isn’t.

Still like it though.

Oh. This makes sense.

Oh this is interesting. Yours is shortened too.

I host my own instance and it’s just me (because I’m so unlikable I can’t even get my 2 FRIENDS to join my instance. I digress)

I wonder if there’s some setting or ENV variable somewhere on the instance to change that.

As far as I can tell the full username is only hidden on the same instance. So for instance, I see your full user name, but I only see the shortname for mine.

This is disgraceful thank you for marking it nsfw.

This. This shit right here man. I love it.

It takes a little getting used to but I’m liking it more and more. Even with it’s quirks.

Hmm weird. The server is supposed to notify me of a pending join request.

I’ll look at it tomorrow.

I don’t have it set to private because when I tried that before it seems to break federation entirely. I do however have to approve anyone who wants to join. At this point I’d probably allow my close friends to join if they wanted, but that’s about it.

Mostly because I am nearly 100% positive I will either lose my ZFS array, try to move the server to different hardware and bork psql, or what have you…

My homelab is mostly duck tape and bubblegum.

I think for philanthropy to even be a possibility your company needs to be profitable first. Reddit has never been profitable.

But I get your sentiment.

My instance current has… One.

I’m on the app right now and I find the jank kind of charming.

It’s part of the reason I chose to host my own rather than depend on another server somewhere. That way when I do fuck it up at least the only person to blame is me

Yay federation and activitypub!

I’m glad I went the self hosted route for this, but I can tell federating with other servers that some of them are HURTING. Particularly Lemmy.ml. Taking a while to get subscribed to communities there.

That’s ok we have /c/linux now.

It really kind of is. Personally I’m still getting how communities work while self hosting, but it’s allllll coming together.

You did a good job.

Not only that. They are a for profit company that is extremely dependent on volunteers to moderate their subs. I feel like they are going to learn a hard lesson about alienating your volunteer workforce.
