  • I am attempting to get into Selfhosting after a shockingly frightening experience, but I am very lost.

    Jump

  • +1 for YunoHost from the POV of a total self-hosting newbie (I’m now self-hosting my own GoToSocial, Pixelfed, PeerTube and NextCloud thanks to it… upgrades and backups are super easy, too)

  • The US town that pays every pregnant woman $1,500: ‘We’re not OK with our babies being born into poverty’

    Jump

  • As a mother of an actual human I gotta say $1,500 for a lifetime is a ridiculous figure that wouldn’t even last a week when covering basic necessities (stroller, bedding, diapers, lotion, etc.)

    Some weird bad luck...

  • Thanks! I personally use a VPS because I don’t have a stable connection at home. If you could spare 4 or 5 Euros a month, I would definitely recommend self-hosting

  • I think the safest thing would be self-hosting your own solo GoToSocial instance. With SLURP you could import your entire Mastodon archive… and if you’re not proficient, coding-wise, you could install GoToSocial via YunoHost.org, which is so easy to follow, a total newbie could do it (speaking from experience). The only requirement would be a basic VPS (say, about 5 Euros a month). If you could give up 1-2 coffees a month, it’s not that big of an expense. I personally love my GtS account, as I get to personalize it, setting character limits, uploading my own custom emojis, etc.

  • Have you tried using elk.zone? It mimics Twitter’s interface and has some great additional features (like zen mode)

  • Aw thank you for the kind words - it’s super encouraging to hear you’ve been enjoying my articles ☺️

    I was doing research for my part 2 on Voyager (my Lemmy app) and that’s how I stumbled upon these comments. Thanks again ❤️

  • This is wonderful, thank you so much!

    I’ve been holding off from switching to Android (and getting a GrapheneOS x Pixel phone) because I have 5 years’ worth of messages on Signal on my iPhone… I’ll look into this method for sure

  • Oooh interesting! Could you please elaborate / share any resources about this?

  • How have existing Pixelfed servers handled the increased load?

    Jump

  • I’m now hosting my own Pixelfed instance (as of Tuesday). I really like being in charge of my own server…

    The drawback I’m seeing is that Explore and search sometimes yield no results.

    Like searching for “Nikon” just now results in “no content found” 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • Spiderman for a 4 yo

    Jump

  • My almost 4-year-old started watching cartoons a few months ago. She has about 20 min of screen time a day max, all slow, wholesome stuff. She LOVES SpiderMan because I got her DUPLO and LEGO characters and we play with them all the time. I got her a Spidey book but she didn’t like it at all - it’s very shallow and there’s no moral to the story. I showed her the title sequence from SpiderMan in the 1970s I believe and she really liked it

  • Thank you for your comment – OP here (of the blog post).

    **Calckey.world **is a Sharkey instance (a fork of MissKey). I LOVE IT SO MUCH, it's my favorite Fediverse software so far... I'm planning to write about it soon for my blog.

    Yeah DeepL is NOT part of the Fediverse - I used it to translate a comment from Portuguese to English. Still my favorite online translator but my husband also uses ChatGPT for those purposes and I've been really impressed by its quality, too.

    Loops.video just launched - it's the Fediverse's answer to TikTok by the creator of Pixelfed, FediDB, etc. It's not active yet, for now you can register your username, but Dan has yet to onboard users. I believe he said he needs to upgrade to a new server because of all the sign-ups.

    Linux phone: yeah, I cannot wait to build one. Definitely my goal for next year - as well as a Linux computer :)

  • Lemmy vs. PieFed vs. Mbin

  • Hello! Apologies for the belated reply but I was out of town and offline most of the weekend. Yes I'm seeing this in Lemmy too (and Mastodon). Gotta check PieFed now :)
