Any thoughts on this OP or is this more “let me just link this everywhere and not actually give any discussion about it myself” links are so prevalent on lemmy lately.

Any synopsis? Or is this just to drive clicks to your blog?

This community seems to be inundated with just random links with no actual information added as to why I should want to click it, or what is actually at the link.

This is a prime example. It’s simply a link to a blog, with “Free Public Wifi” as the title. Literally nothing else. No synopsis, no information as to why I should want to click it, or read whatever is written. Just an ambiguous title linking to an ambiguous blog.

Of course it’s also cross-posted to as many other communities as possible.

That’s why it’s stated in the Lemmy docs to use an image host instead of uploading directly. Unfortunately, most users don’t do that.

That’s on you, not the internet or google. As has been pointed out, dot al is a TLD for a country. Just because you can’t type properly and didn’t spell check yourself, doesn’t mean the internet is doomed.

You’re right, I have zero posts so far, I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make there though. Perhaps you think everyone should keep posting the same thing ad nauseam?

As soon as I find “something I want to discuss” I’ll be sure to post it. Until then I’ll just keep browsing past the same things that keep being posted time and again here.

Is there some award for being the very last person to post this in this community or something? This has been discussed to death about a dozen times already.

Why is crap from 2 weeks ago being posted like it’s new news yet again

Is this one of those bot accounts that aren’t marked properly or is OP just after karma (which doesn’t exist on this site).

I have a couple, including the one running my lemmy instance I’m posting this from. They’ve all been pretty good for me. I don’t push any of them hard or anything, but I’ve not had any problems.

It seems the same things keep being posted multiple times, usually by bots. I have blocked bots, but they still show. It’s gotten to the point I’ve had to start blocking them, and users the post the same things that have already been posted here multiple times.

Get rid of them I say.

Printables seems pretty superior at this point.

After their crypto crap, this doesn’t surprise me one bit.

And don’t give me that “You can disable the crypto” the fact is, you shouldn’t have to because it shouldn’t have ever been included in the first place.

Admins, make sure you update to 18.2, this has already been patched:

My lemmy instance is hosted on a 1GB vps with no problem. Even with a few other services on the same VPS.

No, but some people are stuck behind CG-NAT and can’t port forward to the outside world for wireguard. Things like Cloudflared, Tailscale and ZeroTier get past that.

It’s of course possible to use wireguard to a VPS and tunnel into that, but that’s a bit more technical to set up.

Awesome! It’s always an amazing feeling when you finally get things dialed in just right. Congrats!

If it works for you and allows you to start learning, there’s no problem with it. Too many people seem to think that if you haven’t compiled whatever yourself, it’s not true “self hosting” but you should do what works best for you to get to the goal you want.

Thank you very much! I’ll get this set up on mine.

Thank you for that.

I did find one glaring issue on kbin that will keep me from using it in the future.

I had apparently opened an account whoknowswhen, and figured I’d remove it and start again. When I went to delete the account, it didn’t actually delete it, instead it keeps me logged in and just put this at the top >Your request to delete the account has been submitted.

That seems like a bit of an issue, as I shouldn’t have to wait for it to be submitted (which also appears to mean approved) before deleting an account. Until that’s fixed, I’ll stick with lemmy and mastodon separately.

I tried kbin and don’t really understand it to be honest. I looked at their documentation and it doesn’t really explain much other than how to create an account on an instance.

Going to kbin.social and creating an account didn’t get me much farther. I don’t undrestand how to “subscribe” to (for example) the lemmy communities I follow her, or the users I follow on mastodon. And the “magazines” thing I really don’t get.

Maybe I’m too dumb for it or something.

Sorry if it’s obvious, but I don’t see a way to use Matrix for notifications on their documentation and my searching is coming up blank. Do you by chance have a tutorial for this?
