Active enough considering the scale of the community.

Hey! Didn’t even know you could ping people. I’m not super active but I’m here every so often. What’s up?

I’m all for defederating Hexbear, but lemmy.ml is absolutely huge compared to Hexbear. To motivate the community to do that you’d need quite a bit of proof. Or at least something rather compelling. Do you have any proof of what you’re referring to?

That’s exciting, I can’t wait for that!

Click the folder icon above your keyboard.

Nope, it’s everyone unfortunately.

The developer has said that posting will come in next weeks update. Just be patient for a bit.

I leaned no one on Lemmy are as helpful as they seem. Nor as nice… I gave up on trying to run my own instance… My life is too busy and hard to find time for this anyway…

I ended up just starting over…

No I’m not sure at all but it’s just so so weird! It’s an old password that I shouldn’t have used at all being so old and basic. It’s just annoying typing in your password on Linux all the time lol

Some people think it’ll work just extremely slowly! Lol we’ll see I guess.

Some people are extremely skeptical, while others encourage it strongly. I’m an update this post later with how well it works. I’m not too worried about it, because I’m literally expecting to be the only user. It’ll probably run just fine for my purposes, but I’m not expecting to use it as my primary account or anything. Really it’s just an experiment.

I’m attempting with Lemmy Easy Deploy now. I tried a couple other methods already and failed. If I fail this time then I’ll have to try yet a fourth or possibly fifth way. But I think I’m out of options at that point lol. I’ll update this post if I get it started.

build the latest version yourself using Lemmy’s provided Docker files.

I’m attempting to compile 0.17.4 on a Raspberry pi 3 right now. So far it’s been basically frozen since 10am eastern. I’m not sure this option will work. But with that in mind I might try again with 0.17.3 if that means I don’t have to compile it.

This is really interesting. But how well does it actually work? I’m attempting a personal server on a Raspberry pi right now but the compiling is taking a huge amount of time.

Right! I’m enjoying all these FOSS alternatives lately. I really hope they’re here to stay.
