Oh, I've been creating a lot of tech content, like my old days on Reddit. These days I mostly lurk on LGTQ subreddits though and idk how the Lemmy community feels about that (not that I have much to post in that regards anyways, link/forum wise)

I've been following their work on implementing this via their newsletter and it seems to be coming along nicely. Can't wait for them to complete implementing it.

I think for me it’s going to be hit or miss. Right now I’m on this more, but it doesn’t have a lot of the content I’m interested in currently.

Really looking forward to SSO support!

I’d probably call this niche of fediverse apps “fediverse link aggregators”. Their UI really only makes them useful for that at the moment (IMO - haven’t tried kbin), and you can technically follow a Lemmy community from Mastodon if you want (it’s not a great UX), but you don’t get the aggregation doing that. At least not without sorting down to just that view.

Agreed, but I think all instances linked there are going to see high load over the next while. We shall see how the network stands up...

I've opened some pull requests on the main app repo and the docs repo with changes that should fix the docker install issues people have been having.

Specifically: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/2908 / https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/pull/186

The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.

Link? That's not good news :/

Did he get caught editing comments again? And the shadowbanning?

I don't think I'll go back except for niche content/communities I don't expect to see here for a while.

I love this for you - let me just make sure my instance is set to not allow sign-ups lol

Yeah, I've started just posting anything that seems interesting while trying not to flood the place. I'm pretty deep into the tech world so it's been mostly tech, but I'd highly recommend posting content that interests you and I'm sure it'll interest others.

If you're using a lemmy web interface (as opposed to an app), there is a cross-post button you can use to post in other communities that are tanginately related (if you decide to create a community for your topics).

Pretty much! There isn't currently a way to migrate accounts though, so keep that in mind.

Might not be a feature you need now, but it is a nice-to-have from Mastodon that I'd like to see available everywhere.

Trying my best! I'm trying to decide if I want to open my instance up to more users or not as well.

Glad I could provide some insight! It’s not something I see talked about too much even on Reddit. Let me know if you have any questions or things I could flesh out more in the article!

I’m still relatively new to ActivityPub and Federated systems in general, though I’ve had my Lemmy and Mastodon instances for 8+ months now I don’t use them as much as I was expecting, sadly. Running your own instance can be very isolating and any content you put directly on your instance probably won’t gain much traction (at least on Mastodon, Lemmy seems to fair a bit better).

It’s one of a handful of blogs that I’ve run over the last couple of years, the other one that’s still online is HomeLab.Blog. I actually meant to run a federated blog platform like WriteFreely, but they don’t have a production docket image, and I saw that Ghost is planning on adding ActivityPub support.

This article might be more appropriate on that blog and an article about my experience with Federated systems might be more on-topic on this one. Oops.

I can't do latte art, I call mine "the blob" or "polarbear in a snowstorm" lol

I have an older R710 running TrueNAS right now with 1tb of (usable) flash storage and 10Gb connection the to the rest of my lab.

I have another TrueNAS instance running as a Proxmox VM with a Lenovo SA120 DAS attached to it, which has 2x 10Tb drives in mirror mode for mass storage. It's also technically connected via 10Gb to the rest of my lab.

Lots of Proxmox users here! That's good to see. I'm also running Proxmox after using ESXI in my lab for a few years. Too expensive.

Around 40TB of storage space, of which I’m using roughly 1%. I’m not even a datahoarder, I’m just a storage space hoarder.

Save some for the rest of us, eh?

Sounds like a pretty solid setup!
