if you're a registered user on a server, when you click [Communities], there you can see

• [local] communities - Those created on your server
• [all] communities - Those local and also those already federated to your server

You can subscribe to a community of any server which your server can federate with. The list of connected servers you can find via the /instances link at the bottom of the page.

There's an easy to use community search tool here https://browse.feddit.de/

If you've found a community you like to follow, translate the original URL to a federated URL You do this by putting the community URL of the original server in the search bar; e.g.

(This search functionality is available in the web interface, but not yet available in the Jerboa app)

The result will list the federated URL. A federated URL has the form:
https://<your server>/c/<community-id>@<other server>

Visiting the federated link, and clicking [Subscribe] will make that community be federated to your server from now on. Your subscribed community will now also be listed under the [all] communities listing on your server.

Here's a howto https://lemmy.ml/comment/459391

Maybe a developer is better suited to answer that question. @nutomic@lemmy.ml i'd assume there's a difference in load in the backend and load on the frontend.

Nowadays doesn’t even make any sense to use servers. ... Why not create something better?

i think you might underestimate the problem.

Jami.net (a decentralized messaging app) works p2p. it uses a torrent-like distributed-hashmap to locate the peers at any moment. (The main usability issue for nontechnical users, is that devices on an internal ip address aren't addressable from outside. This requires (a single point of failure and privacy concern), a turn-server)

They started to incorporate Git for merging chats for the reason that any of set of peers (of a group chat) can be out of reach of another set of peers, i.e. the chat continues on different branches and needs to be merged again later.(this happens in the clients-app, because there is no central server). Jami is aiming at double-digit group sizes.. That's not nearly the size of what Lemmy is handling.

Documentation etc can be found from their github page

On tiktok i found this;

1st hand witness #1 https://www.tiktok.com/...

1st hand witness #2 https://odysee.com/@InfoNews:f/Miami-Eyewitness:9 . (on his tiktok he admits making it up)

Regarding the rooftop video-shot which is all over the news, as if there’s an alien walking… There a better video from another angle, showing those are 3 cops walking… https://youtu.be/fhyx_22iZIE?t=557

Me too. i'm assuming it's downvoted by people who see it appear in their servers mainpage, but aren't subscribed to this topic

you're welcome.

Something i struggled with in the beginning;

How it works;

• you pick an account name, (short and cryptic)
• it checks if it's unique. if so, then it generates an SSL style certificate. This is your identity and contains a private key and only exists on your device. This thing acts as your password and identity. Losing this thing is fatal. nobody else has a copy. So you have to back it up yourself. There's an option in the app to back it up. (it is saved in some zip format)
• then you enter a screen name.
• you can install your identity in any amount of devices. But you can also easily give every device it's own account.

i use this app on my devices(telephones, laptops), so that i can easily share any file (photo and documents) between them. photo's are sent losless, unlike whatsapp.

Oh.. and another thing;

Because it's serverless technology, it's dependant on all other nodes in the system to form a mesh.

Whenever a node switches networks (e.g. when the software is running on a cellphone and you switch from WiFi to cell-band, or you're switching cell towers), then it has to re-initialize with its peers under the new IP address.

in such case it helps when, from your profile-settings, you switch your profile off and on again.

Seems this documentation https://join-lemmy.org/... is a bit outdated

it refers to {{#include ../../include/config/defaults.hjson}}

but i couldn't find defaults.hjson except in the lemmy github here

https://github.com/...

Hi there,

Have you seen material regarding alien abductions etc? Quite a few come to the unpopular conclusion that they're malevolent spirit entities

One researcher shows a good overview of the deceptive nature of the accounts https://odysee.com/...

This one found evidence in the MUFON community that there is actual way to defend against attacks. But the reason for MUFON to 'not go there' and not to disclose it might be surprising. https://lemmy.staphup.nl/post/25128

Hi. thanks.

i logged in and found the port number in the /etc/sites/sites_enabled/.conf

i did the merge again, and via domain and the local port i get the following:

i logged into portainer and found this message many times for _lemmy-ui_1:

API error: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site? failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN lemmy

in _lemmy_1 it says this many times:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to load settings file, see documentation (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html): LemmyError { message: None, inner: "unknown field `use_tls`, expected one of `smtp_server`, `smtp_login`, `smtp_password`, `smtp_from_address`, `tls_type`" near 40:12, context: SpanTrace [] }', crates/utils/src/settings/mod.rs:20:20
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

mm.. this use_tls field 🤔...

On the ansible machine, i have this use_tls in the email section in inventory/host_vars/<domain>/config.hjson. i'll check if that field is still allowed

✅ in the defaults.hjson (mentioned in repy below), the use_tls isn't mentioned, so i removed that keyword, and Lemmy version 0.18 is up�*

Thanks. i didn't know there was special firmware required for talking "AT" commands to the WIFI module. it thought the UART1 rx pin wasn't exposed for that reason.

i did see the examples, but i didn't find the implementation of the lower-level API and assumed that even at that level it is UART based.

wauw.. so many downvotes..
It's posted in a paranormal community, but people seeing it on the mainpage feel compelled to give a downvote while not even knowing the content.. 🤦‍♂️

Anyone read the RKI(Robert Koch Institute) files which surfaced in Germany because of FOIA requests? Mainstream is supressing the news, because it contains quite damning info

Personally i'm against the "sustainable, inclusive, equity, diversity" mantra which the U.N. is driving, because i'm convinced the U.N. is up to something.

But i seem to be more accepting of other views than those who're on the U.N. "S.D.G." boat.

it all depends on the mods on that particular server..

I think it’s a really subversive text,” she says. “But I think the biggest thing is, time and time again Jesus made space for outcasts.

indeed, and after giving grace Jesus suggests "sin no more"

And who Jesus came to welcome, every time it flipped religious ideals on their heads – even his own.

"even his own"... who knows what this is referring to?

It's not so much about registering a user on other servers, but about finding rooms on other servers (I'm not aware of one existingl)

I wonder why there isnt a global search..

There's a single default matrix identity server.. So that should be possible right?

Here are some people speaking out about what they had happen:

Cops are not allowed to comment on it:

• https://odysee.com/...

Cellphone was taken:

• https://odysee.com/...

When you freak out for your life, you don't press record:

1. • https://odysee.com/...
2. • This guy is making it up: https://odysee.com/@InfoNews:f/Miami-Eyewitness:9
     • he later says this: https://www.tiktok.com/...

Yeah, i also noticed that a ban is easily obtained(other community, other server). i wasn't even aware of any damage done and i got a ban for 'racism' ?! Pretty frustrating when you receive a temporary site-ban for something you think is incorrectly asssesed.
