What’s to stop someone from just not checking the ‘bot account’ option for their bot though?
I miss the Wild West days. It built character.
Children today never have to see this kind of shit anymore.
If they didn’t get paid by Reddit they likely sold it on the dark web.
Damn, 20k subs already!?!
I could have sworn it was 7k like 3 days ago.
OP hates Linux
Sorry OP, people who like Linux tend to have the same values this platform advertises.
It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.
For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.
I pay them nearly $100 a month for internet. They can get fucked if they want to dictate what legal things I do with it.
Implementation quirks.
I find even across instances in the same app, the content can change.
One of the growing pains, it will be solved with time.
Another Pro tip:
If you really want to self host and have good internet speeds, then just use a dynamic dns service to point a domain at your home network :)
It’s free minus the power costs. Sure you won’t be able to guarantee availability but for most personal(and friends/family) use it’s more than good enough.
I say this because the reason a lot of people use VPS is because their ISP won’t give them a static IP. You don’t need a static IP.
I got rid of it 2 years ago for Apollo and tried it again briefly last month.
Somehow it got significantly worse, you can’t even choose how to sort your feed anymore.
The problem is a UI thing too. In wefwef for example half the time you go to post something and it says ‘error posting’, your comment actually did post. But sometimes it doesn’t.
I typically go until I see success and then delete any duplicates I left on accident.
For real, on Reddit an 8 hour old post and nobody will see your comment.
Here I can comment on a post 2 days old and still get replies.
Yes but it will take at least a few years of organic use before you can do what we do with Reddit and add ‘Lemmy’ at the end of your search query.
I’m really confident Lemmy can be the future, so I’m being as active as possible while it’s small.
To everyone reading this: if you see a post with 0 comments, even a few days old, leave one. You could spark a conversation.
Man the memes here are Facebook tier.
How many minutes of browsing is 600 tweets?
As early adopters, it’s important for us to be active on the platform. You see posts without comments, and then don’t leave a comment yourself because of it.
Be the change you want to see! Leave that first comment to spark a discussion.
‘Some of you may die, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take’
Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.
You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.
