It’s energy that is basically “free” with no artificial inputs needed and only a little bit of maintenance! More and more it becomes practically a no brainer compared to fossil fuel.

AFAIK, It’s to solve or mitigate the “Replies from other servers may be missing” issue.

Essentially imagine you are signed in on server A, responding to or looking at a comment from server B. But people on servers C, D and E have faved, boosted or replied to that same comment. Unless you or someone on your server had followed people on the other servers, you can’t see those comments or their contributions to the boost count, unless you go to view the comment on server B’s site.

Backfilling means server A fetching those other actions from other servers somehow, so that they will show up when you view it from your own server reliably. Examples of that somehow could be, obtaining all the info from server B (localized single source of truth), it could be collected individually from other servers, from a centralized server, or other means.

Yeah. I have used that. And I’m sure most with personal instances that just pressed the “Install NextCloud” button have no clue, including me.

Perhaps the closure of Lemm.ee took away some of the quantity and variety of posts and communities?

“Wir haben 100 % OPSEC”

I want a basic app that has no frills, is snappy, and does its job well. Lemmy fits that, and is no more or less than I need. I have a separate masto account.

Even if I would agree with your principles, this kind of comment is what is tiring for moderators to deal with at scale.

The US government flaunting its effective tyrannical control of its tech companies are, somewhat ironically, helping the EU get away from that control by being encouraged to swap to Linux and FOSS.

I use stretch-ed Debian btw

You forgot that for whatever reason we have to have an acronym in our acronym.

Welcome! Thanks for the suggestion, I’m happy with having multiple sites and not one team having absolute say on content over the rest.

Chipping in a bit (30CAD quarterly). I really owe it to your and dessalines’ work, having been here for over 2 years now.

Well it’s partly my bias too, because when I joined Lemmy about 3 years ago, lemmy.world didn’t exist yet and there were around a couple dozen new posts on All of Lemmy per day at the time.

I’m just really grateful for how much we’ve grown as a site, even if we’re still hardly anywhere close to the scale of modern corporate social media. But imo it doesn’t have to be, I like this.

Lemmy.world is not federating with beehaw.org

Lemmy is small enough, that without even seeing a karma total, some users have an unofficial “rapport”, where I’ve seen them around enough to recognize whether they are the type to go against the grain, a perpetual troll, or a usually reasonable person with an unusually spicy take.

For games, make sure you are subscribed to:

• !pcgaming@lemmy.ca
• !games@lemmy.world
• !games@sh.itjust.works
• !gaming@beehaw.org

All are healthy and active, and I’m sure there are more. I suggest cross-posting stuff from a niche community you contribute to, to one of these, to bring traction to the smaller community.

On the contrary, I think this is a responsible way to operate. The terms of use apply to the Mozilla distributed binary, not the open source version and open source forks, and I don’t think additional terms shut them out of that. The privacy policy is clear, concise as can be and links so that people can jump directly to what is being collected.

I do worry about putting up public servers that other people might rely on because there’s something I might not realize making it vulnerable.

So far I have pubkey root login only on the VPSs I’m messing around with, but my ol’ reliable private key from 6 years ago might be beginning to fall behind on encryption standards.
