We have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.

(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)

For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.

(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

The server is in Finland, actually. I am in The Netherlands, so is the non-profit foundation owning LW.

I’ll try to install the BookFace UI on friendica.world. Also I’ve started a Friendica manual at https://help.friendica.onl/ but it needs to get content.

How so?

This is for the Lemmy.World server (just the physical box, not the related VMs). Around 12TB last month.

Thanks, I sent them an e-mail.

I also didn’t get the e-mail yet.

Also I offered Dan to host a loops instance, as he was asking for ppl to do so. Haven’t heard back from him yet, but I guess he’s busy :-)

Ooh an iPhone that’s been locked for 50 years, I wonder what iPhones looked like in 1974!

I haven’t read this. But I know you can unlock your iPhone using your icloud account.

(Still, happy I switched to android this year)

I have setup bskysocial.world to test that (there’s no web interface, just select this domain when logging in or signing up via the app or https://bsky.app)

Note: This is for testing only, I can’t promise it will remain running.

(I am @ruud.bskysocial.world)

It’s a feature of the app, where it doesn’t load all messages at once. Whenever you’ve read all it has loaded, you’ll see this message, and when clicking it it will load more posts.

Hi Dansup, welcome to our server!

I do host some stuff myself 😉 but there’s one thing to keep in mind.

Don’t self host stuff that your family still needs after you’re gone. Unless they are self host nerds like you. I stopped self hosting our mail and docs for example.

Would you agree?

I did register writefreely.world planning to host that one day, but I need some more selfhosting nerds to help out running all these instances :-) The foundation is now already running a few dozen Fedi instances :-D

Well thanks! ;-)

I like Vivaldi, which is Chromium based. I also like Safari for the speed. Difficult to choose between the two. The feature that Vivaldi has and Safari hasn’t, which I’m missing in Safari, is tab auto-refresh.

I run a pixelfed and misskey on the same server, and used to run a mastodon besides that. No issues. (I use docker)

Mastodon.social has the default 500 character limit. There are a few which have changed that (because it’s not a configurable setting). Most large servers on this list aren’t blocking too many others and aren’t blocked by others https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon (Maybe don’t choose mstdn.jp)

I host https://mastodon.world myself but there are many others like it. For me, choices could be based on:

• What’s the server topic (if any)
• Is the server run by a single person, or a team? (For continuity reasons, but this info is mostly hard to find)
• Can I agree with the server rules?

Also, you could consider other platforms which are similar to Mastodon, and can communicate with Mastodon, but might have some features you prefer which Mastodon hasn’t’t (like quote posts, bigger character limit etc). For my personal account, I use Sharkey (https://sharkey.world is mine too), but you can also consider Pleroma, Friendica and many many others.

Sorry if I made the choice more complicated… and let me know if you have questions.

Yes. At the NLNet stand.
