Admin. Music maker from Colorado. Music is at music.knova.net. I also run dartboard.social (akkoma microblog) and links.dartboard.social (Lemmy).___

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

knova,

For me it’s 100% Nextcloud. It was a pain to get working at first (and I’m dreading the day it breaks, if that happens). But it is so much more than just a self-hosted Dropbox solution:

  • Maps
  • Calendar
  • Email
  • Markdown editor (I’m using this to try and replace Google Drive for collaborative document editing with my friends; most of what we need can be achieved with Markdown formatting)
  • I haven’t tried it but there is a Talk plugin that allows for video conferencing in browser;
  • a bunch of other stuff I’ve never played with like mind maps, PDF conversion, music player, etc.

Can you help translate the Wikipedia article about Lemmy into your own language?

Currently it's only in 4 languages, so there's a lot of translation to be done!

knova,

English version reroutes to the Lemmy (musician) page

knova,

Hmm, weird. It works for me now

knova,

Honestly one of the best episodes of any Star Trek series, period.

knova,

This is essentially happening now. All the big servers (Lemmy.world / beehaw / Lemmy.ml) host the lions share of the content and discussion. Me and my users are essentially a user server in your example.

knova,

I guess I’m not seeing any benefit to your plan over just having each of those communities you described run their own Lemmy instance. There is already LemmyNSFW.com for example. And then if they want a local community for music etc. they can have it, or subscribe to (a theoretical) LemmyMusic.com. Then users can have their home base but still subscribe to other remote communities.

If discovery is the concern, that can be solved more easily than building out a entirely new infrastructure like you are proposing.

knova,

Yeah that’s just dumb.

knova,

I have loved the forum experience since about 25 years ago. I honestly don’t think I’m past it.

knova,

Never tried tumblr but it sounds like I might actually like it.

knova,

Assuming it’s not actual spam, occasionally my feed gets screwed up and I get tons of results from only one community. If you refresh it should fix it

knova,

You can ask the Lemmy.ml admins to assign a new mod

PSA: Image posts and blind accessibility. - Beehaw (beehaw.org)

Saw this post on Beehaw suggesting posting images with some blind accessibility in the comments since they don't have the capability to directly post them with alt-text yet. Seems like a nice idea, especially with the /r/blind community migrating to reddit, so we might as well spread it to all the instances we can. Cheers!

knova,

Thanks! I find it is a small thing we can do that increases the value of the communities we are part of. I do alt text on Akkoma (Mastodon) and I hope that feature arrives here soon.

knova,

RE: #3 - we can all choose to be kind to newcomers. Be patient with people as they make those “Testing from Mastodon - can you see this?” Type posts.

knova,

For the record I love love love what you are doing with Memmy. I used to bounce between mlem and the web interface but after the last 2 days I think Memmy is in a good spot where I can use it full time. Just need notifications and I’m set

knova,

I’m actually shocked this is happening

knova,

It’s insane that any CEO would point to Twitter and say, “that’s the model we want to follow”. They are making like 5 figures worth of money on subscriptions, they have lost tons of advertising due to their content policies in the Elon era, and people generally feel unsafe so a bunch of people left the platform. What is redeeming about any of that?

knova,

I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast!

knova,

Thanks for the explanation. Very interesting. Is CP-symmetry the same thing as “time based symmetry”? (Not sure if that’s what it is called. I’ve heard there is some symmetry that means certain physical phenomenon behave the same even if time runs backwards, or something. I’m probably not doing a great job explaining)

knova,

Super Mario RPG hits different, even 20+ years later

knova,

That has more to do with community building rather than an underlying technology. IMO

knova,

Thanks, I am an instance admin and I realized I did not previously have captcha on. That’s been rectified now.

Not that I get a ton of signups anyway. Ever since the join-Lemmy page of instances was reworked, I’m not popular enough to be listed :(

knova,

You end up as the ultimate decider on what you federate with. If you join someone else’s community you might not agree with their administration or moderation decisions.

It’s a fun exercise in system administration, it taught me some new things. It got me interested in Rust as a programming language (not that you need to know that to run an instance - I was just tinkering w: source code)

knova,

I felt fine the day after getting mine pulled.

Lots of ibuprofen and Tylenol for the pain (not both at the same time IIRC) but other than the risk of getting elbowed in the face I don’t see any problems.

What’s the concert anyway?

knova,

Ah well, enjoy the day to recover then!
