I also want to mention this happened at 2 or 3 AM EST, which only had 2 admins on, me and the hoster. I should've made a post, but given the severity, lack of info, and lack of staff members, we both decided to shut it down immediately until it was patched. I personally apologize for the downtime but I hope it's understandable why we did it this way. In case something like this happens again, I'll post it in the FMHY Divolt server.

Defederating from people who support bombing innocent people is not censorship 🤦

they're gonna say "It's reddit time!" and start redditting everywhere

Mine too, and I can vouch for the other's reviews and their

Because it's cool.

You could potentially run a backup site or a different lemmy instance, but that requires people possibly knowing your real IP and port forwarding (unless you use a VPN or port tunnel), technical knowhow, and constant uptime. If you don't mind ruining the PC, you could also test software / cracks on there. (Turn off your internet if you're planning on doing this.)

Honestly, the best way you can help is contributing to the wiki and helping people out in Divolt and on here. No extra computer needed.

What's supposed to happen is that if you're the first person to look at a certain community, it'll start fetch all of the previous posts and start indexing everything. However, since kbin is separate from lemmy and the two are only communicating via global fediverse tech, it only indexes new posts. That's just my understanding though.

in case anyone's wondering, we'll have a banner up sometime soon, just need to get image uploading fixed 😊

Seriously though, if you want to donate, here's their dono page. Just know that the main dev is known for some...spicy opinions.

(Also FMHY doesn't have any donation page and most likely never will.)

Same. I never used Reddit that much anyways so I think a closer community will work better (along with all the other benefits Lemmy has)

Kagi. Yes, it's paid and the pricing structure is really meh, but:

• Actual privacy
• No BS like with DDG
• AI features (like a "quick answer" feature that's really useful)
• Has its own index along with others
• Search results are great, probably better than DDG's
• "Lenses" (basically narrow results by a set of sites)
• Devs are pretty cool

^^ This. A Pi-Hole is pretty good too if you just want something very basic. Or a NAS if you have SSDs (or dont mind slow disk speed.)

1. Yes.
2. Yeah, Lemmygrad is the only one right now for obvious reasons.

Yeah we should make an infographic and lobby congress to include fediverse knowledge in computer classes

Minetest is a decent MC clone, open source and whatnot. There's also a few mods out there that tries to replicate it. (inb4 someone says minetest is an engine and not a game)

no more funny number

We're not gonna be racist and block everyone from those countries, or ban people for their opinions. If people start spamming or breaking the rules, we'll be on it, period. :)

Most likely a scam or incredibly misguided. I bet you can only publish a site once and can't edit it lol

AFAIK this server has had 100% uptime (but I'm not the hoster so I can't say for certain. We definitely never encountered any major downtime or crash.) There are hourly restarts to fix the image service, maybe that's what you're referring to? Those only last a few moments and other instances, like lemmy.world, do it too. (In fact they do it at every 30 minutes, which we've considered doing too)
