De momento não, e não vejo sentido em criar, mas estou sempre aberto a sugestões.

Does this mean the JWT config option is deprecated then?

Not at all. I run lemmy.pt on a $5 Vultr VPS alongside some other small things. The VPS has been sitting at roughly 350/400MiB of RAM, and essentially never above 5% in the CPU. Lemmy uses less than 30MiB, PostgreSQL about 60/70 and pict-rs roughly 60.
The instance is small, but I don't believe it will go beyond the system's resources until it's actually rather big, at which point it is likely I will have some financial support (many members have already expressed their availability to help out), so upgrading to a $10 plan shouldn't be hard.

Também digo hehe. Já há algum tempo que queria correr um serviço federado para a comunidade tuga, e o Lemmy surgiu como uma bela oportunidade. Gosto do estilo de plataforma e o servidor é muito leve, portanto não tenho que adquiri um servidor novo logo no início.

Respondendo à tua questão, sim. Quando estiver tudo mais compostinho eu irei divulgar a plataforma em vários sítios, incluindo o /r/portugal (se me deixarem, mas há outros subs tb).

Espero que gostes :)

Calling something "shit" for not conforming with your way of doing things is unfair and and frankly unhelpful here. Vim does have unorthodox controls, but so do a lot of other programs. I fail to see how this is any different.

There is so much software with unique workflows, or rather much differing from more "casual" uses of a home computer, ranging from 3D, to music, to games, to, well, text editors. Yes you have to learn how to work with them, yes it is time you could have spent with your family, however I'd argue these are valuable learning experiences and ones that enrich your view of productivity. Knowing multiple methods for doing things will always help you better assess what suits you better.

You may not like Vim still, but you should give it a try before making any judgment.

Imo it's unfortunately a popular misusage of the term. See my other comment.

I'd argue he's not. A fediverse is any network of federated instances that are able to communicate with each other. AP is a way of achieving that, but there are plenty other federation protocols.

Yeah, I agree. I prefer the term ActivityPub Fediverse or similar, because each protocol has its own fediverses; Matrix and XMPP have their own fediverses too.

Thanks!

Ah, I thought it was really abandoned for a while. Thanks for the clarification!

I had never heard of that project, it indeed sounds interesting. Can you provide more info on the project itself and on what makes you say that last paragraph? Would love to read more on this

I see, I might try them one day then, thanks!

I think that's a good plan. User following is a great feature but not as prominent as those others you mentioned.

For now, Manjaro KDE. I enjoy the powers of Arch with some heavy lifting on the setup and KDE's endless customisability and flexibility.
One day I'll install arch from scratch though.
I've used Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and a bit of Elementary and Solus in the past. Solus sounds nice but it's still to young, elementary was a bit meh, but it has been years since I tried it. Mint was great too, and Ubuntu and Debian have surely changed a bit in the past 5 or so years.

Edit: regarding servers, I still exclusively use Ubuntu, not because I find it the best, but simply because I have not tried anything else yet. On that note, does anyone have any recommendations for me?

You make a good point yeah. However, I believe it went radio silent for a considerable amount of time. Not a big deal though.

Must be recent then. It was stopped for a big while. Either way, as the other commenter said, LocalCDN supports more stuff and works better.

This was sent in Lemmy's Instance Admin room on Matrix. Dunno if that's what you're looking for.

A $10 VPS is overkill unless you have a lot of users really. A $5 one (1vCPU and 1GB of RAM) should be enough for quite a bit of users. In my case, I use Vultr, I think they are really great, but there are other hosts out there like DO and whatnot that have similar prices.

Regarding the domain, I've heard bad things about godaddy. I've been using PorkBun lately and it has been great; support is fast and helpful (had some troubles with payment and they solved it quickly). Again, it isn't too important, since you can transfer domains to other registrars.

Everything else is on point 👌
I believe there's also a Yunohost thingy for lemmy^1^, which would make it a 1-click process, essentially. However, that comes with some overhead, dunno how much.

Yeah that's a perfectly valid thing. I also like the fact it is still small, though I'd love to see it blossom and grow into a bigger platform and "capture" more users from reddit.

I.reddit.com enters the chat

No but you're right, reddit is slow af

I use Firefox.

Privacy related: uBlock Origin, LocalCDN (active Decentraleyes fork), PrivacyPossum (don't have it enabled all the time), CanvasBlocker, ClearURLs (cleans tracking query params).

Convenience: BitWarden, Firefox containers, Temporary containers, Privacy reditect (super handy), ToS;Dr, RES, Stylus and Dark Reader (with the new DR version I sometimes save the generated "dynamic" style after navigating some pages of a website, and then shove it into Stylus for better performance).

Absolutely need this, I don't even know how to browse without this anymore lol: Tree Tabs (this specific one: https://gitlab.com/kroppy/TreeTabs ; I dislike all others; I also remove the normal tab view at the top with user css) and AutoTab Discard (I tend to open a lot of tabs and without this my RAM goes bye bye; TT has this but it's not as good)

Additionally, I have a second Firefox profile that I can quickly bring up with Ctrl+Alt+F (akin to getting a terminal) and that sort of emulates Firefox Focus on desktop. Essentially it doesn't store cookies between sessions, there's no history, and all tabs are temporary containers. I don't have as strict rules in uBlock and whatnot in that profile and I often use it for stuff that breaks a lot with my normal setup, or for things that I really don't want to run on my normal profile (like Google). Also, I enabled DRM in it because some platforms I use require it. I try to minimize that usage though. I even made a little theme for the profile using color.firefox.com :D

Decentraleyes is dead, swap it for LocalCDN, an actively maintained fork.

Oh noice!

This is great! It comes just in the right time for me, since I'm gonna publish an open instance soon :D

Also, for any Portuguese users out there, Lemmy has been fully translated :D

They made their database pluggable afaik, so you could fairly easily write a thingy for postgres. In fact, I believe it's planned for the future.

I wholeheartedly agree with it first two paragraphs. Being logged in or not is crucial to your addiction, not just because those interactions are engaging but also because the algorithm is less tailored, and thus less efficient at trapping you with content.

Looks great, I'll give it a try today!

A quick suggestion though: looking at the repo's README I see there's no section explaining why it was forked from Stevenarella, when that project is still active (last commit 3 days ago). I think it would be nice to have a little paragraph with that info :)

I like that idea a lot 👍

Yea, that would be a much better title.

The system is good and Cinnamon is great (I used Mint for a lot of years), but it is hardly the best for me.

The whole concept of "best distro" is misleading and frankly pointless. There's no single best distro. Each distro presents a different flavour of Linux, and some people like some flavours better than others.

I used to think Mint was a really good distro for me, but I like tinkering a lot and the Arch family has proven much more enjoyable. I still think Ubuntu, Mint, Pop, Fedora, Solus, etc are good distros, just not as good as Arch (and derivatives), for the type of user I am. For example, I put Mint with Cinnamon on my parents' laptop and they love it; they enjoy the simple app store flow (akin to their phones) and great desktop. Cool!

In my opinion, we should really stop making these sort of claims in articles, videos and the likes. They achieve nothing besides possibly dividing the community more.

I'm also planning on creating a Lemmy instance for my language and I've thought about naming it accordingly, but then a problem arises.
In my case, I'd be considering between lemmy.pt and lemingue.pt (lémingue being the Portuguese word for lemming). The former will objectively say that it is a Lemmy instance, while the latter might be taken as a website about lemmings by someone unaware of Lemmy.
I'll likely end up going with lemmy.pt

Yeah this would be really nice, if feasible! It would certainly help quite a bit with the decentralization of Lemmy's network and avoiding huge instances like you see in Mastodon, Matrix, and the likes

Yup yup, that would be great! I've used Kotlin quite a lot but never in Android, but there's always a time to learn stuff. If someone were to kickstart it and maintain it I'd probably contribute :P

Yeah, mobile apps are definitely something that should be invested on. Lemmur uses Flutter and so it runs really badly on my devices (I haven't had a single Flutter app run well) and the UI is a bit meh. I'd love to have a Slide-like application for Lemmy :)

A single container doesn't sound good to me. Stuff should be separated inyo multiple containers and orchestrated with Compose or something of the sort imo

Adding ontop of what has been said already, the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series is really great. I love the complex political world in the fantasy setting. The show (which only had 6 seasons) was great but the books are much better (still reading them).

Both protocols work well, but they are not like Discord, they are different. Like you said, people that get pulled over to Matrix or XMPP by friends that claim it is a Discord replacement will be mislead and probably dislike the platforms because of it. If they instead were pulled over because it is an alternative with a bit of a different paradigm, then they'd probably enjoy it more.

Spaces and room v8 on Matrix are promising but server and client implementations still need to catch up. At the moment, only Element and Synapse fully support them
