Incredible growth. just goes to show how little we needed to be in Reddit.
For reference: https://browse.feddit.de/
CapnAssHolo ( @CapnAssHolo@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English106•1 year agoNeat. I tried getting into fediverse a couple time during the last 3 years and everytime I’d get bored after a day or two.
This time it feels different though. I never imagined there would be this much activity on here. We really oughta thank spez lmao
Otome-chan ( @Otome-chan@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoThis is my experience as well. albeit my other experiences on the fediverse were with mastodon; and the twitter-style of doing things is much harder to feel like you’re getting the content you’re after or feeling like there’s a lot going on.
dbemol ( @dbemol@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•1 year agoPersonally, I hated Mastodon, its architecture is just no user-friendly and mass adoption is very unlikely. I’m loving Lemmy tbh!
mustyOrange ( @mustyOrange@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoI didn’t like mastodon because I didn’t like Twitter to begin with
PirateForDaLolz ( @PirateForDaLolz@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English46•1 year agoThat’s awesome! Honestly, the move away from Reddit is probably the best thing that could happen to our community. r/Piracy was always a few DMCAs away from not existing anymore. I’m not super familiar with how Lemmy works under the hood, but from what little I do understand, I think we’re probably safer here.
bric ( @bric@lemm.ee ) English7•1 year agoFundamentally the risk to the community is similar, all it takes is for an instance administrator to decide to nuke the community and there’ll be nothing we can do about it. But unlike on Reddit, there’s no single administrator that can nuke every piracy community. There will always be a piracy community somewhere on Lemmy, even if it isn’t this one
Gatsby ( @Gatsby@lemm.ee ) English7•1 year agoThe risk is significantly reduced if the instance its running on and the domain host is in a country that isnt legally obligated to honor DMCA takedowns. Wothout doing research, this instance likely is in a major country, and therefor not its permanent location because of this. but whats different than reddit is we have the capability to host the servers ourself where we want.
Once(if) its taken down, another instance can be run from a more friendly country and DMCA notices wont have any weight legally.
The only problem then would be popular home instances going excommunicado with the pirate instance like that bee one did recently
qtj ( @qtj@feddit.de ) English2•1 year agoEven popular home instances going excomunicado isn’t a huge deal, as people can just make an alternative account just for this instance. Jerbora already supports multiple accounts so it’s hardly an inconvenience.
collegefurtrader ( @collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de ) English44•1 year agoI’m assuming that the venn diagram of people willing to set up a seedbox overlaps near 100% with those willing to figure out the “fediverse”
factionparadoxes ( @factionparadoxes@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English8•1 year agoSeedbox user here, can confirm, lol.
tegs_terry ( @tegs_terry@feddit.uk ) English2•1 year agoWhassa seedbox?
PFneec ( @PFneec@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English8•1 year agoA virtual machine in the cloud used for torrenting
EuphoricPenguin ( @EuphoricPenguin22@normalcity.life ) English4•1 year agoThe thing you use when you’re lazy as all get out and can’t be bothered to use a VPN. Plus, you get faster download speeds over DDL anyway, so 🤷.
Kayzels ( @Kayzels@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English5•1 year agoIf I had the money, I would. Alas, I’m a university student with no real source of income.
suodrazah ( @suodrazah@lemmy.nine-hells.net ) English4•1 year agoPut Oracle Free Tier to work…
collegefurtrader ( @collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de ) English4•1 year agoGo on…
suodrazah ( @suodrazah@lemmy.nine-hells.net ) English10•1 year ago4 ARM64 cores, 24GB of RAM and 200GB of storage, and some other resources and older x86, for the low low price of free. 10TB outgoing limit, no incoming limit as far as I know. You can setup one or many VPS using the resources.
https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/
I have a a full media stack running on one - Plex, Tautulli, Sonarr, Radarr, NZBGet, Qbittorrent, Jackett among other services like Portainer, YTDL, Traefik. I’ve seen 8+ streams with 4 or 5 720p transcodes, the CPU is pegged but it keeps up.
For storage I use a combo of services. Rclone, mounting a remote google drive to /mnt/remote. Cloudplow, takes stuff from /mnt/local folder and directly uploads to the remote drive via gdrive API using the same rclone config. And mergerfs, takes the /mnt/remote and /mnt/local folders and combines them into a /mnt/merged folder. The /mnt/merged folder is the main folder for media, downloads, etc. Any writes are first stored in /mnt/local.
I describe that setup to demonstrate the capacity of a free service, of course much less complex for a seedbox.
dbemol ( @dbemol@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English4•1 year agoI never managed to pass the sign-up form, I gave up with Oracle. If you are able to access it, please abuse their resources the most possible
collegefurtrader ( @collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de ) English3•1 year agoI know almost nothing about servers but that sounds very capable. Why do they offer it for free? How many lemmy users do you think it can handle?
suodrazah ( @suodrazah@lemmy.nine-hells.net ) English4•1 year agoFree because you can roll into a paid service easily, it’s a trap really. But if you can stay within the free limits then it’s gold.
Lots of users. Depends on storage requirements, 200GB could be limiting if you want to host media.
collegefurtrader ( @collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de ) English2•1 year agoF that, lots of free image hosts exist.
drifty ( @drifty@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year agoAs far as I’m aware you only get a 1 gb ram instance on Oracle cloud free, where are you getting this 24 gb ram instance?
suodrazah ( @suodrazah@lemmy.nine-hells.net ) English2•1 year agoThat’s true for x86, but the Ampere free tier allows up to 24GB.
drifty ( @drifty@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year agoI just checked, my area domain (or whatever that’s called) does not have the machines to provision 🥲
bood ( @bood@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•1 year agoI am considering setting one up so I moved over, yup.
Sami ( @Sami@lemmy.zip ) English32•1 year agoPirates are used to migrating en masse
demonicbullet ( @demonicbullet@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English26•1 year agoDead site? Wheres the next one?
has been a part of piracy since it started
kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English4•1 year agoNGL, I’m pretty excited about that happening, imagina a pirate paradise.
dbemol ( @dbemol@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English30•1 year agoI was so glad to see that r/piracy moved here. Reddit’s fucking anti-piracy policies hindered every discussion.
FUCK YOU SPEZ!
Briongloid ( @briongloid@aussie.zone ) English3•1 year agoI couldn’t even roundabout refer to piracy most of the time.
debacle_cups0j ( @debacle_cups0j@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English21•1 year agoI wish a lot of the other subreddits staying dark had a plan like this too.
Yep, a lot of them are just missing the opportunity
_Stalwart_ ( @_Stalwart_@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English20•1 year agoI think Lemmy has prospects to be even better than Reddit. Let’s drink go it!
Vakbrain ( @Vakbrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English20•1 year agoLong live Lemmy and screw reddit
EuphoricPenguin ( @EuphoricPenguin22@normalcity.life ) English12•1 year agoDrastically smaller chance of things getting taken down here to boot. You’d practically have to get the host of your server up in arms, which is a lot harder to do than a grumpy Reddit admin pressing the ban button.
jivandabeast ( @jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev ) English12•1 year agoFuck spez
AnakinSandlover ( @AnakinSandlover@kbin.social ) 11•1 year agoPosting from kbin. Just here to celebrate with y’all.
I am having a difficult time reaching kbin from lemmy but I’m glad it works better in reverse
Killer_Tree ( @Killer_Tree@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 4•1 year agoReddit: Constantly getting worse. Lemmy: Under active development and (hopefully) improving over time.
I know which community I want to invest my time in.
Micromot ( @Micromot@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoYeah the developer is currently working on improving the federation in the other direction. Reaching other instances from kbin works well already
@db0 KBin is newer than Lemmy and is having a struggle adapting to the Reddit Migration.
Hellfool ( @Hellfool@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English11•1 year agoIf this place was to shutdown I think I’d be lost, hopefully we don’t die down.
Altair ( @OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net ) English5•1 year agoGood thing about the fediverse is that that’s basiclly impossible lol
Common_Nature_Party ( @Common_Nature_Party@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English10•1 year agoCommunity makes things grate, I believe in it, so let’s go lemmy.
morekraut ( @morekraut@kbin.social ) 9•1 year agoFunny, how this sub and post was displayed as the first one after completing my registration on kbin :'D
Lol true I just checked and this is the top post in kbin Frontpage!
I feel like I see Kbin mentioned way more often when I’m on my Kbin account, even when on posts from Lemmy. Anyone else notice that? I guess it just has to be like an attention bias.
Morgikan ( @Morgikan@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoYeah, I noticed that too. I’m not sure if that’s just due to that being local content and maybe mirroring remote content is slowed down with all the new activity and instances coming online. I also see in user settings a text box for “Featured Magazines” but I can’t find any documentation on what/how that works. I would figure it would prioritize those mags, but I’m not sure of anything yet.
Micromot ( @Micromot@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoIf there are stats on growth and activity you could choose quickly growing or very active subs and put them in a slot in the sidebar
Morgikan ( @Morgikan@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoIs that something we can already do or do you mean that as an idea? That’s a neat idea if so. I don’t think a user’s subscription page is locked out, so might be neat to replace the random mag block with newly updated subscribed mags via greasemonkey script or something.
Yeah it’s still weird getting used to how this fediverse thing works.
BuddhaBeettle ( @BuddhaBeettle@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoI do feel like Im in some kind of multiverse alright. Its new and weird, but also quite nice, knowing that many platforms are connected.
LostCause ( @LostCause@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English9•1 year agoNice, I just joined too and am already enjoying this community and the whole lemmy thing in general. Some weird stuff about it like instances defederating each other is new to me, but I think I can get used to posting more on here.
Micromot ( @Micromot@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoThe defederation is similar to subs banning you if you are on other ones
Lucas ( @lucas@lemmy.lucaslower.com ) 2•1 year agoYou are now banned from r/pyongyang
CapnAssHolo ( @CapnAssHolo@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•1 year agoYou have been banned from r/wholesomeshrekmemes because you are subscribed to r/shrekrule34
