Generally, if in the same country you’d have to comply. As another example though: If your server was in Canada, and some department in Alabama wanted your data, you could tell them to pound sand. Though they may put some sort of warrant out for you for failure to comply (doesn’t matter though if you never go there)

Pretty great on the web browser front-end to be honest - haven’t had an issue when I have used it on my phone. Not sure about the app side of things since I’ve been trying to limit my doom scrolling to when I’m at a computer

Fired up a FreshRSS instance for myself when the reddit API notifications came about. Reminds me of my Google Reader days - quite happy with it thus far. Any of the decent quality news sites seem to have an RSS option, at least in my experience so far.

Surprised it’s not mentioned here, but Bzflag.

Super fun tank shooter game that doesn’t take much to run, and reminds me of a cross between the very old bolo game and Mario kart’s battle mode.

Yeah - this was a tad annoying at work today. Thank god for terraform if outages had become more severe

This is my droplet with 1GB of RAM only running lemmy:

free -m
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:             964         386          68         141         509         219
Swap:           2047         310        1737

So expect at least 1GB for lemmy with postgres included when you include spikes etc.

Same. I know it’s more work than caddy etc, but I’ve been doing it for eons now so it’s muscle memory at this point.

The bigger instances mostly are fine on the auth side, it’s primarily pictures and some slow SQL stuff being worked on still. So best thing some users can do on smaller instances is be aware that the bigger ones may go up and down a little, so content may come in bursts from the communities on the bigger ones

Thanks! It’s my “fun” domain.

But yeah, you shouldn’t have any issues with bandwidth if you don’t have a massive amount of users. The big instances are running into bottlenecks related to CPU/disk speed from what I’ve been seeing vs network speed.

Judging from my DO usage network chart, with me subscribed to a ton of communities: minimal. Just a lot of API calls back and forth from federated servers.

“Who in wrote this darn test? It’s not even testing the right thing!!”

checks commits

“OH. It was me. I did this to myself.”

The only two I am aware of that are actually good are Teksavvy and SaskTel. But, Teksavvy is just a reseller, and SaskTel is a crown corporation only available in Sask. Not sure about the smaller mobile providers anymore - there have been too many buyouts for me to keep track of.

I have come across this too. It almost seems to federate out bans if they are banned on their own instance as mentioned here already

Pretty much both, from what I’ve seen running my own instance. Should be the same for any other activitypub service to my knowledge!

You are correct - it will live on the instance it is uploaded to and federate out to instances subbed to it

For a remote community to show up on all, someone on the instance has to be subbed to it.

So, if you type !community@server.com in the search you’ll see it, and be able to sub as the first person on your instance. Once done then it’ll show up on all to other users.

Sometimes takes a few seconds after you hit “search” for it to pop up. Has to fetch content and process it, etc so give it about ten seconds and it’ll be done.

Exception to this: if your instance blocks server.com, then you won’t be able to sub to communities on it. Most instances don’t block much though

I wish they didn’t do this. Before when there were no paywalls I did pay for Wired to support them, but nowadays nope.

Running one on a 6$/month droplet. The TLDR is you’ll definitely need a swapfile for spikes, but for a single user it’ll probably work, though be a little slow to load communities for the first time. Mine is subbed to a huge amount of communities and so far the disk usage is nothing serious

The hero we need.

Some parts too are also optimisation issues popping up that were not present before. Lot of technical minds being thrown at the issues though now which is nice.
