    I enjoy reading about this change because everytime someone writes something like. Look what x did. My first thought isn’t of Twitter or any social media, it’s: “who’s x?” (As in replacement variable)

    So stupid to rebrand like that. Oh well, never used Twitter anyways



  • I suppose it has to do with being stateless.

    I just loved learning about lambda calculus.

    I think the idea is to remove complexity by never dealing with state, so you just have one long reduction till you get to the final state…

    But someone who’s more into lambdas etc should speak about this and not me (a weirdo)






  • I have both a misskey and lemmy instance. For both I used https://servarica.com/ with the cheapest summer deal Flying Fish SSD. It’s like 55 a year. (Or you can pay monthly but I’d highly suggest to save up and pay yearly) (kinda lie, I got a bigger one for lemmy but it’s overkill)

    If you have never installed software before on a VPS (virtual private server) you’re in for a learning ride. If this is the case, be patient, don’t give up.

    Misskey is similar to mastadon. You can also look into calkey which is similar to misskey.

    The hardest part of setting it up was the settings. But since I already know Docker and whatever it was easy going otherwise.

    Though I still don’t have email working… Bleh

    Misskey you add relays. Relays are like lists of instances to join in the fediverse. You then block instances you don’t like.

    Lemmy, you block instances you don’t approve and can set it up so you can white list as well.

    Also important, lemmy doesn’t automatically add other instances. How it works is, any user on your instances has to subscribe to another using the full search key !blah@domain.tld then once ONE user is subscribed, everyone else can search it via keyword.

    Because of that I created a bot that went through all my approved instances and subscribed to all communities in there. It stopped around 3500 subscribed communities. I’ll have to run it again sometime.






  • Actually, keepass warning you is a feature. When I first set up my account I put in the strongest password keepass would let. Lemmy approved it. But I soon learned later that lemmy cut the password short and didn’t tell me. (I learned using the API)

    So no bug except lemmy not yelling the user itself. Or maybe that was when I first set up my instance… I forget… I’ve got the memory of a frog


  • So the problem with lemmy is that instances don’t immediately see all communities in all instances. For my instance I created a bot that finds all communities from all approved instances. It broke part way through but I got 3500+ communities connected to mine now…

    Since other people don’t that, duplicates get made.
