Silver lining to everything!

same for me on Firefox, no vpn or anything, but I have ublock origin on. It’s kinda neat.

Plex lifetime server owner here. It’s getting harder and harder to give my elder family members access, since plex is burying my server under a mountain of their own programming.

client-wise, is Jellyfin easy for older folks to set up and access? Like people who only have an iphone, or a smart tv?

I’m mostly interested in discourse communities being able to communicate with one another.

I think billionaires have extreme influence over me regardless of what type of money I use.

I’m happy with Thunderbird as-is!

I have a few folders per account (keep, notices, receipts), organized easily with quickFilters. (“notices” I have to set to delete after 30 days, and it includes OTP’s / marketing / politics / newsletters /semi-interesting crap). Inbox is at zero almost automatically.

To see everything all at once, I use two “search folders”: “Personal” and “Business”. It updates as mail comes in.

In just about every way I find it superior to gmail’s front end. If they want to change how it looks that’s fine, but if quickFilters or search folders break or functionality changes I’ll fund a fork.

It would be hard to do a worse job than the big social networks

Congrats!

Good. It’s boring without them.

Searching for federated forum software, and found lemmyBB.

I hold no ideals toward decentralization, ideologically I’m more aligned with a democratically-run centralized platform. That said, federation is still a great feature even on a big platform! Also I like the people more.

Should be fine. You may want to follow a guide on installing docker so it doesn’t conflict with whatever firewall cpanel uses.

A bit off-topic, but I note that this community uses Discord over Matrix, and another privacy community I once belonged to Techlore had the largest Matrix channel at one point, but quit and moved to Discord. It’s disheartening that Matrix can’t keep privacy communities.

Never heard of them but after looking them both up, Kagi’s customization features like domain blocking seem really handy. I’d love to never see another Quora link.

I did a git reset to the release tag, recompiled, and success!! Thank you @nutomic and @moist-leninist

After I play with the color scheme a bit, I’ll be introducing some folks to the fediverse.

All browsers are disappointing, and I don’t think the market is capable of producing a good one.

docker logs -n 100 itsdomaincom_lemmy_1

Seems ok to me,

New error, getting closer I think

500: Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error while processing this request.

Thank you for sticking with me!

Here’s the config I use for the lemmy backend: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/prod/nginx.conf here’s my lemmy.hjson https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/prod/lemmy.hjson

like I said, aside from domain name and required variables, everything is default, running a fresh vps. Ansible install for Lemmy, “install along other instance” instructions for lemmyBB.

No messing with ports. Fresh debian 10, debian 11, ubuntu 22, all with the same result:

Lemmy-UI works fine, lemmyBB returns a 502.

I appreciate all the help! New error, 500

That’s private

I’m using the config here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB/blob/main/docker/nginx.conf

the only difference is that $lemmybb_domain is replaced with the bb ui domain name. Again, the normal lemmy ui works great, ansible install so everything including config is default.

Is there something with the lemmy backend or UI I’m supposed to configure to let it know that lemmyBB exists?

Yes, when forum developers and owners take full advantage of ActivityPub.

You’d be surprised what corporations dump resources into.

Why not both? Replacing their existing Twitter profile with Mastodon doesn’t remove the possibility to integrate AP into their platform. It probably makes it more likely.

I feel like they reduce toxicity by calling it out

Sure, that could be one benefit to an organization.

However, my point was that the organization can control their messaging, rather than following the whims and rules of a conflicting company.

The replies were beyond inept for a social media manager.

The WaPo bans showed that social media should be controlled in-house (or at least appear to be, like email.) Medium is just a bit ahead of the curve. Expect others to follow.

Now do one for lemmy!

Are they able to troubleshoot issues on their own?

The people being poisoned are rarely the people responsible.

In the worst case scenario where discussion is mostly held on a few instances owned by vampires, we’re still better off because federation is a helpful feature.

The user-base. Front page posts of angry rants wanting to destroy Ellen Pao because an anti-fat hate subreddit was closed.
