Ghost Activitypub support is still in the making unfortunately. You can selfhost ghost already and if you check out the latest version you also have AP, but they said it’s not stable yet and might break. Eagerly waiting for them to finish.

Playing information ping pong. We sent them some issue with a lot of information and instead of actually investigating they often dragged on the whole thing by asking for details they should have themselves, taking hours-days to respond etc before they actually did something. We often had to escalate issues via our account manager.

This was all on enterprise support while I was working for a company that paid six figures each month for infrastructure in their data center.

Only know Ionos in DE but I can’t recommend it, the support is pretty bad.

I think the biggest instance, lemmy.world, not being operated by the Lemmy devs is also a good health indicator - on every other Fedi service I can think of, the server run by the devs is the biggest by far.

Never heard of this so far but maybe. Would be interesting to try

What would they do about it?

Cool! Thought it’s like alternative.to but it’s actually finding free instances of Etherpad, Jitsu etc.

Denke, zwei drei Sätze zu jedem Eintrag wären relativ hilfreich. So ist es einfach eine lange Liste ohne Einblick was was ist.

That’s what I thought. Btw, your formatting seems to be broken.

Absolutely agree. I didn’t like the crosspost bots but this button? Sounds great.

Yes, mostly just the hostnames

How do you set up clients so they will always use the first one? I thought if a client knows 2 servers they will switch between them.

I plan to add a second Pihole at some point and keep them synced

Not much to do against scraping. On a small (but actively moderated) instance, a spamming bot will easily be detected and hopefully suspended. Generally, moderation is often better on smaller instances, so I’m not too worried about people migrating towards bigger instances - usually it’s the other way round.

For 2. - dedicated corp instances will be defederated from many instances quickly. Bridge accounts on other instances need to be dealt with by the mods.

Yes, of course this can increase moderation effort. But spam accounts are way more easy to deal with from a moderation perspective than issues between real human users which usually takes wayyy more effort to deal with.

That’s cool! I’ve always had the idea of a small k3s cluster on old phones with postmarketOS. I guess it doesn’t work with older phones which don’t have the latest Android Version but given the homelab trend generally goes towards small, low power devices, this could continue the trend with super small and low power phones. Probably in 2 years when current gen phones rotate out of company leasing contracts?

Does your router have webinterface where you can monitor and potentially limit network usage of devices?

I’m not too familiar with the arr stack but if it is constantly downloading videos it’s probably using full bandwidth. Maybe you can also limit in the arr settings or throttle the network interface on the laptop.

Are you selfhosting on your Desktop? What exactly is the use case? I’d recommend different distros for a server or a desktop.

I think there’s several open source rss-to-lemmy bots already so I think there’s not much need for another one. If you want to do it for experience go ahead but not sure it’s necessary.

Also, be careful with how often the bot posts etc. Filling inactive communities with botposts usually does not help with actual user activity.

Hehe thanks! Not 100% decided yet but since it’s running on my homeserver and not some VPS I guess I won’t open except for friends maybe.

That sounds good! If Pixelfed or similar implemented that, it could be sufficient. A new fedi service starting from scratch would lack the existing pool of resources since federation only happens when a post gets posted/boosted but after some time it could actually be useful.

I use it to find inspiration for projects where I only have a rough idea of what I would like to build/make. Usually it’s enough to create a new board, enter a vague search term, add some things that seem fitting to your vague idea and then Pinterest does a really good job in suggesting things similar to the results you already added. It narrows down the search results by what you save.
