My first thought as well. Should have called it Diabetes Jelly.

Actually he needs a developer to disable federation. It’s on be l by default and to my knowledge there is no way to disable it.

Hot and active are currently broken and will show stale content. It’s a Lemmy thing not a Jerboa thing. I’m hoping they fix this in the upcoming version that’s in testing right now.

I’ll plug my own podcast, Find the Path. We get a lot of feedback that people really like our roleplay and how we aren’t a “comedy” podcast. We have a few different shows that cover different genres. We play Pathfinder 1st and 2nd edition but you don’t need to know the rules to enjoy the show.

I recommend starting with Hell’s Rebels since it’s our most polished public show. Link to it all is on our website https://find-path.com

The purpose of life is whatever you make it. Some people feel their purpose is to make as much money as they can, others to create art that will last for all time.

There is no one purpose to life. There’s no cosmic point to it all, so we all just find out purpose.

For me, my purpose is to find happiness. I suffer from depression so that’s my one goal. I find making people laugh makes me happy, so now I do a podcast where I make people laugh most of the time.

That game HAS to be played with headphones or a super good surround sound. The directionality of the voices in Senua’s head is next level.

Gacha games completely turn me off. I just hate random loot boxes or other gimmicks to get you to spend money for the chance at getting something neat.

I use the Fold 4 and like it a lot. Being able to just open my phone to a mini tablet is fire.

Only downside is not every app works all that well with it so I’m hoping the Pixel fold sells well and encourages more support.

And sells well enough to get more versions. I was a Pixel user before this and the Samsung experience is kinda eh. Their app store keeps trying to push apps via push notifications that install if I so much as click on the notification and it’s driving me crazy.

Yes

Diablo 4 with my wife. Double Necromancer party is just chaos.

Yes NPM is for basic reverse proxying, so one URL to one server. If you wanted to scale and load balance across multiple servers you’d need regular nginx with a text config file since you literally can’t configure a second or third server.

And I’d still find that easier than Traefik, but maybe that’s just because I’ve been using Apache2 and nginx for like a decade at this point so it’s what I know.

There are a few I found in Github here: https://github.com/topics/lemmy-bot. This one looks like it’s a pretty generic bot: https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-bot

There is an API for Lemmy, though the easiest way to make a bot would be to use one of the official libraries to talk to Lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy#libraries

I’m not saying we shouldn’t be able to hard delete comments, I’m just explaining why the Lemmy developers might not have started with hard-deleting comments. I agree with you we should have the option and it should propagate regardless of any instance settings.

My point in mentioning other servers not deleting your comments is that ActivityPub is an open standard. Technically someone can write a Lemmy competitor that federates with your instance and does not implement the hard deletion of comments. It’s allowable under the protocol. That doesn’t mean the feature isn’t worth implementing, it just means there are caveats to “this comment disappears off the Internet forever” like we’d like.

I host my instance exactly like this with Nginx Proxy Manager. Here’s my config:

• Block Common Exploits and Websockets Support - on
• Add a custom location with the following settings:
  • proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  • proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
  • proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $remote_addr;
  • real_ip_header X-Real-IP;
  • real_ip_recursive on;
• for SSL turn on HTTP/2 Support

I had to add the custom config so that I would get the IP address of the clients and federated servers. Otherwise I was hitting rate limits on the Lemmy server.

I would love to have tags added that I could search at across instances. So looking up #animalpics might be all the communities that post pictures of animals

Then add to that the ability to follow that tag like you can on Mastadon and that would solve some of the “Super Community” asks.

Yeah my #1 issue is how hard it is to find communities to follow. I think it’s why so many communities are just started on lemmy.ml since it has the best chance to get users on there or Beehaw.

Software engineer here. Historically we started not hard-deleting anything because sometimes software does bad things and we never want to accidentally delete anything that could be important since then the only way to undo it is to restore the database from a backup. So it’s better/safer to literally not allow the application to ever delete anything from the database.

That being said, I could see an option in ActivityPub to delete comments, but with the distributed nature of Lemmy you would have to trust every server you federate with to listed to the protocol and delete the comments too since they are stored on the other servers as well.

Honestly it runs like native. Only thing I had to do is set the resolution in the options to not be 4:3 and instead be 16:9 and it runs flawlessly.

If you have any questions about getting set up, the Find the Path discord server has a TON of experienced GMs who love to talk shop. Link to it is on the top right of https://find-path.com

I followed all their communities on my server as well since I know a ton of Pathfinder fans who listen to my podcast :D
