To start -- apologies for the extended downtime. I ran into several issues with the server, but was finally able to get it back up, and upgraded on the newest release of Lemmy. Thank you to everyone for the patience while I worked through it! I've been working on some major updates related to Wirebase. I'll come back in the next day with an announcement.

I'm looking for others who could be interested in collaborating on hosting Fediverse platforms and tooling, including Lemmy. The main incentive for this is to build out infrastructure that is super reliable -- highly available, geo-diverse, monitoring, best practices, etc, and to have fun doing it with a group of people rather than solo. We can help contribute towards the shift that is happening from centralized/corporate-owned to decentralized/non-profit. Some of the biggest barriers for services like Mastodon and Lemmy are related to performance, reliability, confusing onboarding, etc. By grouping up we can help improve on these, innovate on tooling and systems that are service-adjacent, and have fun doing it. Shoot me a PM if interested! Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Since posting, many people have responded or reached out directly with interest in getting involved. We have set up Matrix.org channels. You can join here: https://matrix.to/#/#fedicollective:matrix.org

Hi all. Very happy to see Lemmy’s success so far. I’m interested in contributing to Lemmy’s growth. At this stage, the engineering team should consider bringing some additional public-facing structure, such as: 1. Published roadmap 2. Performance metrics and reporting 3. Community outreach - keeping user base in the loop on roadmap, launches, metrics, growing pains Lemmy will continue to grow regardless, however bringing some structure will onboard new users faster and add trust to Lemmy’s image. Trust factor is important - Reddit refugees are evaluating alternatives to Reddit, and are ultimately choosing off relatively little information. What is the best way to get involved in new initiatives for Lemmy? I have experience with this type of work (engineering manager at a large tech company), focused on building teams, product roadmaps, and continually improving customer experiences through engineering.

Any docker recommendations for a utility that can update DNS, based on current external IP? I've used ddclient in the past, but it seems like its not working anymore, oddly.

Small update tonight. I provisioned email for Wirebase, which will now unblock a couple features: - Password resets are now possible through Settings - New sign-ups will require email verification (this wasn’t possible before)

A Matrix server was spun up to chat about Wirebase usability, issues, and for general discussion. Matrix is a federated live chat platform. You can learn more about it at matrix.org. To join Wirebase Chat, [click here](https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy:wirebase.org).

# What is Lemmy? Lemmy is a discussion platform similar to Reddit. Users create posts, post pictures, make comments, and group up in "communities" to exchange ideas and talk about topics they are interested in. ## How do you sign up for Lemmy? You can sign up at [wirebase.org/signup](https://wirebase.org/signup). That's the Lemmy server that this post is on. Unlike Reddit, anyone can host a Lemmy server. All Lemmy servers talk to each other (a "mesh"), so regardless of which server you sign-up for, you'll be able to participate in worldwide discussions. ## How do you use Lemmy? After signing-up, you'll want to find "Communities" that you're interested in. These are like subreddits from Reddit. To find one, first click "[Communities](https://wirebase.org/communities)" on the top menu bar, and type in the search bar. If the community you're looking for is listed, then great -- you can open it and start reading and commenting on posts. If the Community you're interested in isn't listed, then it most likely exists, but has not yet been added to [wirebase.org](https://wirebase.org) (or whichever server you're using). Subscribing to a new Community is straight forward (next section). ## How do I find and add new Communities (subreddits) on Lemmy? To add a Community, you need to: (1) Search for the Community; (2) Copy its address, and; (3) Enter the Community address. Keep in mind that you only need to do this one time, ever. **1. Finding Lemmy Communities:** The easiest way to find Communities is by going to [browse.feddit.de](https://browse.feddit.de). On this site, you can search globally for a Community you are interested in. If there are multiple servers hosting the same Community topic, then you should add the one at the top with the most subscribers (this will be the most active). **2. Copy Community Address:** After finding a Community, just click on the "copy address" button (image below).  **3. Add the Community:** On [wirebase.org](https://wirebase.org), on the Community screen, enter the address which you copied in the last step into the search bar (it's a URL). This adds the Community to the server. Refresh the Communities page and it will now appear. ## How do I subscribe to a Lemmy Community? To subscribe to a Lemmy Community, just go to the [Community page](https://wirebase.org/communities), search for it, then hit "subscribe" on the right side.

I've actually made some modifications since creating this diagram. The next major change will be using the two firewalls in a HA-type setup

I would like to change the default View behavior from Local to All for newly signed up users on my small instance. Is this possible? In Admin settings, I see a setting called "listing type", but changing this did not have an effect.
