Imagine thinking being on lemmy makes you a member of every community on the platform. Guess that makes me a member of the hexbear community then eh comrade?

Watch out, better not let them find out the lib communities are yours as well 🤭

You think asking for mod makes this your community? Oof

Glad we established this isn’t your community.

Nah try again. Based on how few of you sub here I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t know how to use a terminal and thought all command line stuff makes people hackerman.

Gtfo

Take the L and go home. Or maybe form an actual response if you’re capable. I’m not sure you are

What? Pointing out that you fools are piling onto people in this post isn’t crying? Pointing out that you fools aren’t active participants in this community isn’t crying?

You’re butthurt that I said you’re not part of this community and when confronted with evidence that backs it up you … checks notes … reacted like a petulant child.

Again, probably best to stick to your safe space echo chamber.

Yeah I’ll accept your surrender as well. Back to your little safe space now, skip to it.

What? You know hexbear isn’t lemmy.ml… right?? Your instance has 22 users subscribed to lemmy.ml/c/unixporn. You’ll notice I didn’t say you’re not part of whatever .ml community you’re talking about (although hilarious if you’re actually Mali gov.) I’m saying your instance is not an active participant in this unixporn community outside of this post. Also probably pretty safe to bet you’re not actually part of whatever ml community you’re imagining.

Another not so clever shift by you fools to unsuccessfully change what I’ve said.

We were here before you and we will be here after you’re purged with the rest of the libs.

Are you the reason your comrades keep questioning knowledge on federation? Your instance didn’t federate until earlier this month. It’s literally impossible for your collective “we” to have been here before anyone with an account older than that, of which there are plenty.

To spell it out for you. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Your instance as a whole does not engage with lemmy.ml/c/unixporn outside of this post. Be more mad though, it’s fun dismantling you all one by one. Maybe just stick to your safe space echo chamber 👍

Instance has comparatively high and active userbase with a very high percentage of Linux users

That may be true, but your instance doesn’t have a very high percentage of engagement in this community outside of this post. Copying from an older comment of mine:

These are the top 3 instances commenting in this specific post at the time of writing (2023-08-25 08:02 UTC):

instance   | count
-------------+-------
hexbear.net |   205
lemmy.ml    |   106
lemm.ee     |    61

These are the top 3 instances and their comment counts on any post in lemmy.ml/c/unixporn this month at the time of writing:

domain    | count
-------------+-------
lemmy.ml    |   210
hexbear.net |   210
lemm.ee     |   100

You’re reading that right, hexbear has a whopping FIVE comments in this community that are not part of this post.

One of those 5 is a user participating in the hexbear brigade in this thread that commented previously said rices were inspiring. But go ahead and tell me all those users are pillars of the linux community. Which bad faith argument will you use next?

Inb4 bRIgaDIng HAs To be ORGaniZed And we’re NoT; even though an acceptable use of the term is also when a particular group floods another community’s space that they don’t normally participate in. I know you lot have trouble grasping a term can have multiple definitions, so don’t hurt yourself champ.

Yeah nothing is quite perfect yet, and I’m figuring out my priority features as I keep going. The future is bright though.

+1 for Liftoff. I’ve got 4 apps and wefwef pwa going and I keep finding myself going to Liftoff more and more frequently.

You’re thinking of lemmygrad, but the rest is right

I recently found out Nova was purchased by an analytics company. I don’t have any proof or solid reason to think they’re up to no good necessarily. But I have zero desire to use something as integral as a launcher that’s owned by a company like that.

I moved to Neo Launcher and it’s been 95% as good as Nova. The knock is just some fine tunings that Nova had, but I’m not having any issues with Neo.

It feels kind of silly but I’m also looking forward to buying it again.

Another vote for downgrading. I also started trying out “Connect for Lemmy” and it’s been pretty slick.

Might be pineapple slices.

It hasn’t been noticeable in my experience

I saw something that a fix was in the works, but also that it seems to only affect chrome based browsers. I set it as a PWA from Firefox and have never had the orientation change on me unexpectedly

I see the anybody but GoDaddy thing a lot too. The controversies page on Wikipedia does a decent job at pointing out some of the reasons people dislike them.

Looking at feature set though, I’m in the same boat as you. Part of it is me being lazy though. When my registrations come up for renewal in a few years I’ll take a serious look at porkbun.

What is your resource utilization like? I know larger instances obv have their own quirks but one of my unknowns is what specs for the server.

I’m also curious about disk space. I’ve seen people self hosting say their usage grows about 500M per day (but no mention on the amount of communities they actively federate) which would fill up my Hetzner box in about a few months. Having never adminned Lemmy, is there some sort of content deletion job that removes stuff after X amount of days?

Lastly, from what I understand the federated tab only shows stuff from instances (or is it down to the community level?) where at least 1 user in your home instance is subscribed. Did you just have to go out and browse communities you’re interested in and follow them yourself? Or maybe with an alt account?
