28, he/him. interested in all things tech, music production, and gaming. i write songs your girlfriend would probably listen to.
Thanks so much for this! Been wondering about all of the other lemmy UI options out there. I’m currently hosting old reddit and alexandrite but now I have my eyes on Photon!
Oops didn’t realize what community I was in, my b!
If OP is looking for FOSS I suggest Element for Matrix. You can screenshare on there as well.
Just share your screen on discord
You got it. Please feel free to share it around! So happy to hear it helped at least one person.
First success story!!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, as I’m still learning myself and really enjoy sharing what I’ve learned.
Action sports games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, 1080, Wave Race, Steep, and more. I mentioned Steep because it’s the latest mainstream attempt but I feel like it never really found it’s footing.
Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Well, time to start teaching myself how to create a docker container. Forking will be no issue, but creating the container will be completely new grounds for me. Thanks for the new project idea!
I started on lemmy.world, then decided to learn self-hosting server infrastructure and made my own instance. Found a script that allows me to “auto-discover” all communities from given instance URLs, so I just added the instances that interest me. Boom, I have an instance with all of my favorite instances searchable and discoverable on “All”.
For those interested in the script you can find it here. Do note that you should NOT use the default settings and make sure to use an instance whitelist, otherwise it’ll pull every instance ever.
It only pulls from communities you have subscribed to. Images aren’t duplicated per server, just text; so even if you find something nasty it’s not hosted by you and you can always delete comments from the database/block users from appearing in your instance.
Hello from a third self hosted instance comrads!
Thought I’d throw my opinion into the ring here, since literally every comment is shitting on this.
Arc is a design project, that also happens to be a web browser. If you’re just calling this “another chromium fork”, I think you’re completely missing the point of who this product is for. First of all, it’s not for you.
Secondly, the design changes that arc is working on perfecting are pretty groundbreaking. The ability to customize the css and functionality of any web page without code and it saves your profiles for future use with a marketplace is super interesting to me. So much UI on modern websites is entirely unnecessary. As a designer, this is a dream.
Also, nobody is mentioning that their working on a Windows version THAT NATIVELY RUNS SWIFT ON WINDOWS. This is a big deal for future cross compatibility in general, why are so many people not looking at this?
Anyway that’s my rant. Trying to voice my opinions even if they’re the odd ones out to prevent a Lemmy based echo chamber. Feel free to disagree.
In the mastodon search bar, enter the URL of the post/comment you want to reply to. It will show up in mastodon as a post once searched.
Note: if you’re replying to a comment or thread, you must include the community you’re posting in and the username you’re replying to into your reply or else Lemmy will not nest the threads correctly.

Lemmy for Yunohost is still running Lemmy version 0.16.7, which does not support phone applications (Connect, wefwef, etc). It also doesn’t support photo uploads of any kind. Until these two issues are resolved I cannot recommend it.
I referenced Google domains because that’s what a lot of people are currently using. I thought about not mentioning it but it doesn’t really matter which registrar you’re using at the end of the day.
I chose Debian 11 for stability and compatibility with other user friendly hosting options, such as Yuno Host. As far as I’m aware, Yuno does not currently support 12 yet. (I don’t recommend installing Lemmy through YH as it’s on an ancient version and doesn’t support photo uploads nor phone apps)
You do not need to use a static IP with cloudflare as long as you use ‘localhost’ instead of 192.xxx.x.xx because cloudflared (the cloudflare tunnel software) runs on the server locally, and can detect changes in IP.
I’ll probably add screenshots if I get a second request for them. Screenshots require performing the actions proper and I didn’t have a test environment ready when I wrote this. Might make a video and add screenshots from that, we’ll see.
I found your suggestions incredibly helpful! Thank you for taking the time to share them with me!
As far as my understanding goes, the traffic between your server and cloudflare is unencrypted. If that bothers you, definitely do not use this solution.
It is possible to encrypt your traffic server side as well, I simply do not know how to accomplish this.
I will consider, thank you!
As a proud and loud member of the FOSS community, I will say this: The FOSS community is cringe as hell and people need to start going back to the root of the movement and remember that we are about CHOICE and FREEDOM.
If you’re judging somebody for using the platform of their choice, FOSS or not, you are the problem.
