We have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.

(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)

For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.

(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

I would say if there’s a word that’s censored which you think shouldn’t, let us know.

Ah yes, the slur filter. That’s been there since the start.

Censor function? What’s that?

The server is in Finland, actually. I am in The Netherlands, so is the non-profit foundation owning LW.

I’ll try to install the BookFace UI on friendica.world. Also I’ve started a Friendica manual at https://help.friendica.onl/ but it needs to get content.

How so?

This is for the Lemmy.World server (just the physical box, not the related VMs). Around 12TB last month.

Thanks, I sent them an e-mail.

We run the database and backend on a ax161 on Hetzner. The media is in Wasabi. The alt uis run on a cloud vps.

Ooh an iPhone that’s been locked for 50 years, I wonder what iPhones looked like in 1974!

I haven’t read this. But I know you can unlock your iPhone using your icloud account.

(Still, happy I switched to android this year)

Yes there is an issue with the Mlym container (old.lemmy.world), we have now stopped it because it also slowed the other alternative UI’s. We’ll troubleshoot this.

It would have been better if they communicated to us first. I don’t disagree that user signups should be spread over instances. We now have a link to https://lemmyverse.net on our signup page so people can check if another instance would fit them better.

I have setup bskysocial.world to test that (there’s no web interface, just select this domain when logging in or signing up via the app or https://bsky.app)

Note: This is for testing only, I can’t promise it will remain running.

The community already existed but was deleted by the creator. I have purged that and you can now create it again.

I do host some stuff myself 😉 but there’s one thing to keep in mind.

Don’t self host stuff that your family still needs after you’re gone. Unless they are self host nerds like you. I stopped self hosting our mail and docs for example.

Would you agree?

I did register writefreely.world planning to host that one day, but I need some more selfhosting nerds to help out running all these instances :-) The foundation is now already running a few dozen Fedi instances :-D

Well thanks! ;-)
