It’ll take about a week for the ‘find out’ phase to wrap up, then we’re onto the lesser known ‘baby please come back I can change’ phase.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•After being suspended for criticising Reddit's God King, I've come to Lemmy.
3·3 years agoIf it doesn’t show up in the search on the magazine tab you can just add it in the address bar like so:
https://kbin.social/m/pathfinder2e@lemmy.world
But it’s not working…
I have a vision of what’s to come so I’ll throw it out here.
When things truly take off there’ll likely be companies selling cloud hosted instances, the server requirements aren’t massive for a small group so it’ll be cheap.
That’d solve the issue of losing accounts or small communities, but huge communities would have to be hosted on huge servers just to handle the amount of content coming in.
Which means money will play a role somehow, imagine a community with millions of visitors every day. Could a server relying on donations sustain that? Or better question is could they sustain that better than a huge tech conglomerate?

1·3 years agoEvery website I’ve ever set up has used letsencrypt, not sure where small business pages would be without it.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•23k New Lemmy and Kbin Accounts Created in Last Hour
1·3 years agoDefinitely agree, there’s probably a line we need to cross where fedi becomes self sustaining, without being driven by Reddit’s drama.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•23k New Lemmy and Kbin Accounts Created in Last Hour
8·3 years agoOver 55 million active daily users on Reddit, a fourth would be cool but I’d be happy with a fifty-fifth too.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•23k New Lemmy and Kbin Accounts Created in Last Hour
1·3 years agoSimplified answer: They’re like email servers, and posts are like really advanced emails. You’ll see the same content on all 3 of these since all the content is automatically emailed between them (you don’t need an account on every instance like you don’t need multiple email accounts).
Where things get different is how the content is displayed to you.

Memes@lemmy.ml•How it feels starting my new Lemmy community with zero subscribers
0·3 years agoArmoured core was great, unfortunately I was too busy picking flax on Runescape in 2006 so never found your forum.

Technology@beehaw.org•Dispelling the myth of a universal "Lemmy" community, and discussion of what the fediverse really is
1·3 years ago- They can choose who to defederate, pretty sure beehaw has already done so with lemmy.ml and others.
- I think every instance is different but on some if you try to sub to a defederated community it’ll get stuck on ‘pending’, also you’ll probably see a lot of posts about it. It doesn’t seem to be something that’ll happen often.
Does it help if I tell you that’s Mozart and Cinderella.
The joke is OP’s assessment of what a meme is.

Reddit Migration@kbin.social•If you nail the UI, you can take over the world.

9·3 years agoSecond this, while user feedback is important and it’s great to see such passion for this project, hopefully we can all keep just as much patience.
Honestly the progress we’re seeing so far seems pretty astoundingly fast considering how few people are working on it.

Technology@beehaw.org•Dispelling the myth of a universal "Lemmy" community, and discussion of what the fediverse really is
7·3 years agoHere’s an analogy, hope it helps:
Kbin.social and beehaw.org are like really advanced email servers (e.g. outlook.com, gmail.com)
The content you’re seeing on kbin is like viewing an email sent from another server, in the case of this thread you’re getting content from beehaw.org.
These aren’t just normal emails, they’re super advanced emails with comments, replies, categories, votes etc.
The content is downloaded to the kbin servers for your viewing pleasure, and you can send an ‘email’ back to beehaw by engaging in their posts/communities like you’re doing now. That will send what you’ve done back to beehaw so it’s all synced up for their users.If beehaw ever goes down/gets unlinked from kbin you’ll still have the old ‘emails’ (content) but you won’t be able to engage with them anymore. Like if someone deleted their email account it doesn’t delete all the emails they sent to other people.
if im getting nugs at 2 in the morning I’ve lost control of both my life and my finances.
Hey could you give some more details on how you intergrated ActivityPub? I make a lot of Wordpress sites but know very little about intergrating the fediverse.

Technology@beehaw.org•The Lemmy User Experience is Better When Centralized into Fewer Instances
1·3 years agois that you Spez?

My grandad was on the HMS Arethusa playing poker with shipmates in WW2, went to the toilet on another part of the ship just as it was bombed. All the other poker players he left were killed.
I also sometimes think about how my grandad’s bowel movements creating my entire family line.
