Will do!

I’m in the process of setting up my own instance for fun, as today was a slow work day.

Makes sense. I wonder how I can reset my password though? The link to reset doesn’t work in any browsers for me. Was my user perhaps banned? Would be [email protected]

Thanks!

I think this is related to my initial signup getting denied and no email notifications being sent out in that scenario. There is a post on beehaw looking for devs to have a look at the code to figure out the issue, but based on what I read in GitHub, it sounds like if an admin denies a signup, the email doesn’t get sent, and then the user is in a weird locked state where they can’t signup again, and the admins can’t modify the user.

tried the big three (browsers), no go.

Yes, I saw the post on that, and given I am a software developer thought maybe I’d take a look, but figured someone else must be looking by now, hopefully.

Yes, but I tried to sign up a few times and let iOS set a “strong password” for me each time so unless there is some way to reset the password…

Yep… login just spins forever. The forgot password link doesn’t do anything.

Man… I really wish my signup on beehaw.org would get approved. I wonder if it has something to do with emails not going out?

Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

It depends. If I know I’ll be picking it up to play again from where I left off in a few hours, I will put it to sleep. But if I’m done for the day, I will shut it down.

I’ve had some issues getting it to turn on from sleep mode though, so tend to shut it down more than put it to sleep.

Time will tell. Given Reddit’s behavior recently, alternatives like lemmy are bound to see a spike in users. Just keep in mind that more users doesn’t necessarily mean good content.

Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.

I’d wager a large percentage are bots, too!

I’m not ditching Reddit, just here trying out alternatives.

How has your lemmy experience been so far?

Well… I’m scrolling and F5’ing as if I was on Reddit, so honestly doesn’t feel that different, yet.

That’s, so sad. Apollo has so many users that are going to be heartbroken. Feel bad for Christian.

Oh, that’s a great idea! I have a raspberry pi I could run an instance on, too. Now I need to figure it whether running an instance is worthwhile or not.

What kind of resource usage are you seeing on your instance? I have a droplet running and was wondering about setting up my own instance.

Might be overloaded since a lot of people are trying out Lemmy.
