Is there a good way to self host a federated service at home without port forwarding? Is it possible to use cloudflare tunnels or tailscale funnel and still connect to the federation?

Run by the same mod. They have their megathread, faqs, and everything up already. Everything that they need for their community to start again in this new place.. I would imagine the users of a sub all about piracy are absolutely fine about leaving Reddit for something new.
ETA: Comment edited so you can see the whole magazine name.
So my understanding is that a community created on a certain server (say lemmy.world), can be interacted with by any other federated server, and any interactions from those servers are synced to the original "true" community / server. How does it work if two servers both have a community with the same name? Each server is the...

I gotta say Ernest, your handling of this whole situation has been above and beyond. It feels strange because even within the open source world, this kind of feedback and transparency isn't common. I feel ver comfortable staying here for the foreseeable future. Thank you!
I think the biggest thing we need to figure out is how to make it sound easier than people say it is. People get too hung up on the technicalities of how the fediverse works, and they never try it out and see that it isn't as confusing as it sounds. If we could write up a simple blurb to help promote kbin to subreddit moderators...
As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new "home" and I hope I'm not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we're bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don't want this to become a...
Hi there! I've been trying to improve the situation for the past few hours. I managed to disable CF Protection, and as you can see, I'm gradually allowing traffic from the fediverse. There may still be delays in deliveries and posts for some time. If anything is particularly troublesome, please let me know through the contact...
People may dissagree, but I think that in the longterm the fediverse will look much more like email, being a ecosystem of single providers, instead of a plattform consisting of many sub-providers
Allow me to be the first.
This is exactly the opposite of the value proposition of the Fediverse. It's going from the internet being 5 websites to the internet bring 5 other websites. It's merely and change in ownership, and that should be avoided at the ideological level.
the long term this is a battle for the one big forum provider, the place people will go to have reddit-style groups in the fediverse. If you are smart and want to beat Lemmy to the dust
This is weird corporate monopolist thinking, and it's a fucking mind virus. Lemmy doesn't need to be beaten. The Fediverse is fundamentally a cooperative exercise, and deciding that some other piece of software needs to be crushed to dust is not healthy for that exercise.
We don't need that shit here. None of this needs to wholesale replace corporate social media. It doesn't need 3 billion users to succeed. We shouldn't want it to look and behave like the purposefully toxic spaces, and we don't need to behave like the sociopaths that run them.
if you admin a magazine you can choose relevant tags for it that can actually bring in posts from the rest of fedi that use those same tags, so they will appear on the microblog tab on kbin ~ for example on /m/food there are a list of tags including #dinner or #cooking, and you can see posts from mastodon etc in the microblog tab because they have those tags too
Hey @ernest I wish you the best in the coming days, and other than knowing that, I am just dropping a suggestion that you may or may not have already considered.
I see you're using Cloudflare to manage security checks for kbin.social. They also have a product called Waiting Room that might be helpful as your servers become inundated with new users. Yes, they'd get a queued screen, but your servers would be able to stay above water.
Cloudflare Waiting Room Available at the business level at $250 / mo. No long term contract, so you could just use it for June and drop it. I've seen your BuyMeACoffee so I know you might balk at that price. I've thrown some money in the ring, and hopefully others will too, so you can have the options you need to take some of the stress of your shoulders.
Best of luck! I'm already a solid fan and while the hordes beat at your door, I'll be giving kbin a rest. :)

Antiwork was forced to reopen by the admins (www.reddit.com)
A community on Lemmy, brought to you by the moderators of the /r/blind subreddit. This is an instance for blind and low vision folks, and friends of the blindness community
https://rblind.com/c/main...
I thought it'd be useful for people who are only subscribed to /c/piracy from another instance to become aware of the communities local to this one
Found out I was missing out on a lot and that communities in all to subscribe to don't show up until someone from your instance searches them out...

Sustainability of kbin
First of all I would like to suggest to @ernest to take a day or two break from working on kbin and in general to not overwork himself....

Hoping this is correct. Whats a Thread under a magazine, especially vs. a Microblog
And why must I create a new 'article' to make a thread and not a post - which I think makes a new microblog....
