Admin of a lot of fediverse servers. See my accounts on Keyoxide

I receive a lot of messages, direct and mentions. I can't reply to them all. If you have an issue, please e-mail at info@lemmy.world

  • XPipe - A connection hub for all your servers: Status update for the v16 release

    Jump

  • This looks very nice. A question, we use Teleport, and it does discover all hosts. But when connecting, I need to configure the username for every host separately. Can't I set a default somewhere?

  • Recommendations for German Friendica instances?

    Jump

  • I see you have set it as spotlight though ;-)

  • Recommendations for German Friendica instances?

    Jump

  • Well we run Friendica.World which is European but I wouldn't recommend registering there just yet, we first need to get performance issues fixed..

  • [META, this community will go down] lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month

    Jump

  • I don't see another option than volunteer-run instances or professionally run instances. And for professionally run instances you need funds (so paid subscriptions) and for volunteer-run instances you need volunteers...

    In my experience, as long as there are enough active users, you'll find enough volunteers.

  • New server for the family, Proxmox or TrueNAS, LXC or Docker?

    Jump

  • I stopped self-hosting stuff that's for the family. In case something happens to me, no way my wife is going to keep this stuff running. And the kids are too young. So they would lose everything.

    Family stuff goes in managed solutions (like Proton). Personal and public stuff is selfhosted.

    Just something to consider.

    Current status of Friendica.World

  • Thanks! We're doing our best. But we also need the github issues solved by the devs. Or others with programming skills

  • The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent

    Jump

  • 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

  • The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent

    Jump

  • 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)

  • The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent

    Jump

  • 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)

  • Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance

    Jump

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

  • Friendica Wiki

    Jump

  • 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.

  • I created a Sharkey instance...

    Jump

  • How so?

  • Post your bandwidth usage

    Jump

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

  • [Ended] A 10 min survey on Mastodon usage by a masters student working on ways to make Mastodon more active.

    Jump

  • Thanks, I sent them an e-mail.

  • Having trouble with Loops

    Jump

  • 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 :-)

  • Tenacious iPhone user finally unlocks phone locked for almost a decade

    Jump

  • 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)

  • Let's clarify something: does Bluesky allow federated servers on their network? Is there a list of those independent servers?

    Jump

  • 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)

  • message "Load missing posts"

    Jump

  • 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.
