Fdroid is surprising hard to get things published, at least when I tried last a year ago.

Hey man you and the team did a great job. Love the default UI. It’s all open source yeah? So they can change what they want. Kinda like what semaphore social did with mastodon.

True.

My theory is that there is quite a few servers that are chosing to defederate. The number of total servers continues to drop according to fedidb.

So while total users go up, the global federation is staying around the same. There’s quite a few servers that don’t want to be connected to everyone else.

User count seems to be going up according to fedidb. At least in the number of federated users.

Woo!

Thew the question there. Im not planning on leaving lemmy, just want to try to see if I can get yet another fedi app on my home setup.

peglin as well.

So im a bit confused, if they are federated whats the issue? Is it just a one way street or something?

Love to see a prototype. I know a lot of projects are like that (Semaphore for an alternative mastodon client). One of the best things about lemmy is that the API is open, so go ahead and make your dream client.

Lol I completely missed that. Nice

True

Fail2ban works really well.

Basically. It’s just Ubuntu server with some really good niceties.

nice.

I need to get something dead simple/no cloud etc… Just shopping around.

Reminds me of: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1083790/Deathbulge_Battle_of_the_Bands/

Awesome game.

Do you use any sort of RAID? Recently, ive been using an old SSD, but back 9ish years ago, I used to backup everything with a RAID system, but it took too much time to keep up.

I have to agree, the community seems to come and go. Some apps have daily updates and some have been updated only once. If I were to start a new server, I would probably still pick yunohost, but remove some of the older apps as one offs. The lemmy one for example is stuck on a VERY old version. However the GotoSocial app is updated every time there is an update in the main repo.

Still super good support for something that is free and open source. Stable too :) but sometimes stability means old.

Honestly after using docker and containerization for more than a decade, my home setups are just yunohost or baremetal (a small pi) with some periodic backups. I care more about my own time now than my home setup and I want things to just be stable. Its been good for a couple of years now, without anything other than some quick updates. You dont have to deal with infa changes with updates, you dont have to deal with slowdowns, everything works pretty well.

At work its different Docker, Kubernetes, etc… are awesome because they can deal gracefully with dependencies, multiple deploys per day, large infa. But ill be the first to admit that takes a bit more manpower and monitoring systems that are much better than a small home setup.

Puppy is pretty neat.
