I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
All of this sounds convoluted, but makes sense in my head.
Makes sense to me. I do something similar mainly to avoid tiny scratches on my phone screen. I hadn’t considered coordinating the coat pockets with the pant pocket system, but I might do that too now 😄
This sounds more like a ship of Theseus style question
Is the person with amnesia still the same “person”. I assume the question would also need to enforce the type/extent of the amnesia
Hah
But also it might be good to add a [] tag text to the title
Is tailscale running / logged in on those other devices? Does it auto detect the server like it did on the phone?
Imo it might be easier to collaboratively build keyword lists. It’s tedious to tag posts manually, and it becomes impossible to do it effectively after the user base grows past a certain point. You can auto-remove any post that isn’t tagged, but a lot of people dislike that kind of filtering and only a few communities would implement something like that
In case the tags don’t work from Piefed, I’ll try as well
Yup, and meanwhile a lot of the spam we manually remove after users report it, should be obvious to detect with automated tools. For example, when a “user” is posting the same link in every comment, or posting the same length comment in many unrelated subs 24/7 every few minutes, etc.
it’s annoying
Some perspective from the mod side
The ‘Removed by Anti-Evil’ isn’t a new thing. It used to be the admin side spam/site wide rule breaking content remover.
It acted like Lemmy’s purge function. When something is removed on Reddit, it’s still visible to mods. Sometimes after something extra awful had been removed, anti-evil would come along and clean it up.
It would be an indication that something is against site wide rules. If the mods don’t take care of reported content that’s clearly against sitewide rules, and anti-evil has to step in, then it’s a sign that the subreddit might need to be doing more
Recently though it’s been coming along and removing comments before any of the mods can see what the comment was. That makes it hard to take any further action since the mods can’t know what the problem was. So far when that’s happened, the thread had nothing controversial and the user’s history was normal and tame, so I have to assume that the new version of anti-evil has a few screws loose. It’s not even that they’ve raised the threshold for what’s appropriate, since awful content still gets through about equally as often.
The only reason why Reddit’s moderation tooling is considered better than the threadiverse is the standard regex based automod rules. The other reddit tools continue to be hot garbage
It’s a project that’s compiling a map of wifi/cell tower/bluetooth locations for location services. GPS doesn’t work well in some cases (indoors, remote locations, areas with tall buildings) and so big companies have built similar databases to get accurate location information. For the most part, those ones are proprietary / private. This project is intended to be a public / openly licensed version of that, while also processing the data to strip out potentially private information
For sure, I’ll also edit them into the post
Example 1:
Example 2:
Have you tried the third party ones? I’ve seen recommendations for Swiftfin

Here is an explanation for each sorting type. It sounds like you’re looking for “Top”. I personally prefer Scaled so that I get some content from the small communities I’m subscribed to
Pretty much this :)
A while back I switched to using RSS feeds for news, and there are so many free and low cost events out there in my city. Free shows, food festivals, cultural days, free admission days at attractions, music in the park, etc
I’ve been posting some of them to [email protected], but that’s only the events that I was interested enough to click on + think that people here would be interested in as well
For example:
[Science World will have free admission on Friday, Sept. 19, as a part of their ‘Tech-Up’ initiative]
There are also free activities you can do anywhere, with lots of good ideas in this thread. Some extras that I haven’t seen mentioned yet:
Sometimes cities also have scavenger hunt type guides where you can explore an area
I’m not sure which guides to recommend, but in case it helps narrow down your search, you could share more about your situation:
Do you have any existing hardware or are you planning to buy? If so, what is the budget for the equipment and where in the world are you approximately?
What did you want to self host? Some services would benefit from a certain type of setup. For example, if you’re serving lots of media, if you need redundancy and uptime, if you’re running AI models or something that needs a GPU
General tips:
For Linux, a lot of people go with Ubuntu server because there are a lot of existing guides for it. You don’t need much Linux knowledge to start self hosting since you can learn by doing over time. Some concepts to explore before getting started might be cron, the Linux file system, and user permissions.
For Docker, you should be fine if you know the basics. I’d recommend using Docker Compose since it’s easier to understand what’s happening when its written out in a nice yaml file. Install Docker and Docker Compose on the server, and then install something like DockGE to manage the compose files. When you want to run a service, copy the Docker compose file and then swap the port to what port you want to use, and the volume to the location you tend to use.
For a very basic setup, I’d find a video guide for
The opt out is specific to your account. If you don’t have an account, its less likely that you have information with them to delete
No problem, hope it saved people some time :)
Looks good, I’ve added it to this post and the two pinned ones
For people asking about alternative communities, we put together a list a while back when closing !askmen@lemmy.ca: https://lemmy.ca/post/48642221
“Ask” communities (for starting a discussion):
For questions that are more specific to your situation:
Group specific communities:
Broader in topic (not necessarily questions):
There are some other projects in this space already, with varying levels of open source / selfhostability / features
Zulip and Revolt looked the most promising for Slack and Discord replacements respectively
While Voyager has mod tools, I’m not sure if you can create a community in the app.
You might need to do the initial setup on the website: https://sh.itjust.works/create_community
