• Moderation on Lemmy is a fucking joke

  A few weeks a go I posted a meme with the caption "My wife out-drinking everyone at the table-- Our unborn son:" [picture of Tom the cat in the womb]. I understand abortion is a touchy subject for some people, but it's not like I was advocating for or against abortion. After that, I posted a meme complaining about the lack of specificity of the rules on Lemmy and that post also got removed. That's enough to let me... Source: 8 months ago

• This whole lemmy universe has me quite confused, but I would like to utilize it. seeking assistance

  Im using the Jeroba app on android first of all. It just seems like lemmy is a complete and total mess. So many contradicting things Im seeing. And then theres instances and communities but apparently it "doesn't matter what instance you choose because you'll still have access to all other communities anyway". Well that is pretty much false. Like using lemmy.world for example. I'll search up for a linux community... Source: 11 months ago

• I’m a fan of Squabbles, but the constant circlejerk over the developer is turning me off the site

  Signing up isn't complicated, people just get confused by what "federation" means... It doesn't matter what instance (or "server" if it's easier to understand) you sign up for. I'm on lemmy.world but I post and comment on lemmy.ml and 10-15 other instances all the time. Think of instances as "copies" with different users and posts, but they all interact with each other (with a few exceptions). Source: 11 months ago

• I'm so lost. Is there an easy mode to the fediverse?

  Whereas the top three on my subscribed feed are from [Games@lemmy.world](mailto:Games@lemmy.world), [gaming@lemmy.ml](mailto:gaming@lemmy.ml) and [gaming@beehaw.org](mailto:gaming@beehaw.org). My subs on lemmy are mostly related to video games, but this points out something that confuses some folks coming over from Reddit - lemmy.ml and beehaw.org both have communities named "gaming" and they are separate...

• Division of labour : rest should be fair

  Lemmy has a lot of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, but you donnot need to register on all of them just register on one, and you can access all of them. Source: 11 months ago

• Asus router script to export new OpenVPN config file on reboot

  I had to manually change the external IP in OpenDNS file to DDNS name, but I'm using Omada. Either way, as others said, use DDNS. I use noip.com for free. Source: 8 months ago

• Where are the Dynamic DNS setup settings?

  Before switching to Quantum I was using noip.com and my previous router had setup options so it would auto-update this service when my WAN IP changed. I'd prefer to use noip.com but I guess I don't really mind a switch to dyndns. I would just like to have something working - anyone know how to configure this modem for dynamic DNS? Is the help text just wrong? Source: 10 months ago

• How can I start setting up a home network

  First: static public IP is not necessary for selfhosting small services. The reason you want static ip is because when you have dynamic dns, it takes time for the DNS records to update when your IP changes. It makes sense to have static ip if you're a business hosting a website so you have zero downtime. In fact, before I bought my own domain name, I simply used a free address from noip.com! It provides a dynamic... Source: 11 months ago

• i need to redirect port 80 to 443

  Certbot has another confirmation method called DNS challange, but I use noip.com , not sure if there is a free dynamic domain name alternative. Source: 11 months ago

• Run a server in the same computer I'll play on [java]

  Your internet looks good, though download speeds aren't everything. I'd probably use 6gb ram. Make sure you trust whoever's joining your server, since they connect by your IP. You can use a service like no-ip if you want a prettier ip to connect to, though then you're trusting them with your IP (not a huge deal but something to consider). Lastly, you could try a dedicated host such as aternos which offers free... Source: 11 months ago
