I’m all for defederating Hexbear, but lemmy.ml is absolutely huge compared to Hexbear. To motivate the community to do that you’d need quite a bit of proof. Or at least something rather compelling. Do you have any proof of what you’re referring to?

Probably my wheelchair. It’s a pretty nifty little chair that has quite a few unique features. Also I would need it to get there anyway. Otherwise maybe one of my drawings.

This is a great suggestion. It’s a very useful thing to have. People are always asking me for help with things, I’m the only one with tools I guess and I only have a small box, mostly cheap stuff from harbor freight. But it works!

Absolutely. I never meant to suggest otherwise. I’m just saying, people should spend more time picking an instance.

I mean they’re being really clear that they plan to basically do subtle griefing of other NATO friendly instances… They’re also fueled by misinformation and perpetuates it. Honestly the web needs a little censorship. I know that if I really wanted to see them they’re other instances I could be on. This one just cleans up a little better.

I’ve relaxed with it quite a bit recently. But I still like having them on me at all times. There’s times I like wearing it. Especially certain places like the doctors.

I leaned no one on Lemmy are as helpful as they seem. Nor as nice… I gave up on trying to run my own instance… My life is too busy and hard to find time for this anyway…

As frustrating as that would be, it wouldn’t be permanent I know they’re very serious with backups. A roll back is annoying but not really that damaging.

Thanks! Now I get it.

Not quite. From what I’ve read, I think only text is downloaded, pictures and other media are just links. So not everything needs to be downloaded. Also to trigger/maintain this connection (federation) at least one person from your instance needs to be subscribed.

But you won’t find this community in the search bar because you’re not federated yet. So to trigger the initial federation you’ll need to search for the full URL, the entire URL including “https://” (https://lemdro.id/c/android) It won’t show up at first, so try again in a few seconds, and sometimes you’ll need to try a lot of times if the instances are running slowly. But eventually your instance will find the other community on the other instance.

But at the time I’m writing this lemdro.id is apparently offline so it won’t work at all right now.

I ended up just starting over…

I’m sorry, that went over my head… i’m as new at this as you can be…

i don’t see the database mentioned in that file

The hostname for your instance

Do NOT put http:// or https://

ONLY put your domain here. Subdomains are ok.

LEMMY_HOSTNAME=“atosoul.zapto.org”

If you use Cloudflare, your Cloudflare API token. Otherwise leave blank.

If present, the DNS-01 challenge will be used to obtain valid HTTPS certificates

–> If you use the Cloudflare Proxy, DO NOT FORGET to enable Cloudflare’s Full (Strict) SSL mode! <–

This token must have access to edit the Zone where $LEMMY_HOSTNAME is

Using this option will increase build time, as the DNS plugin needs to be compiled. Subsequent deploys will be faster.

CF_API_TOKEN=“”

Whether or not to build Lemmy from source rather than use the Docker Hub images

This will significantly increase deploy time!

BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=“false”

The name of your Lemmy instance, will be displayed on the site header (only used during first-time setup)

If you use special characters, please backslash-escape them.

SETUP_SITE_NAME=“AtoSoul”

i’m so sorry but i still don’t understand…

root@laptop:/home/rain# docker exec -ti lemmy_postgresql_1 bash
Error response from daemon: No such container: lemmy_postgresql_1

here is the guide i followed that got me to this point… and then i checked that box with out understanding what i was doing…

Thank you for your response, but can you explain like I’m five? Lol

I don’t know what you mean by connect to my database, I’m really new to this stuff, this is all really above my head.

I’m glad that helped!

You can also use the previous version of Jerboa.

It’s actually pretty straight forward once someone takes the time to explain it. I’ll try.

These ! Links are supposed to be universal I think. !futurama@lemmy.world

Then there’s the long URL, https://lemmy.ml/c/futurama@lemmy.world

First you start with your instance then /c/ just like Reddit did with r/ it means you’re looking for a community, then an @ to target another instance.

In this example I started at lemmy.ml told it I was looking for a community, then told it where the that community lives in this case lemmy.world

When searching for a community by URL use the website only. No apps currently support it yet I think.

Edit: you can also just do it in the URL like this

https://lemmy.world/c/catsubs@kbin.social

!catsubs@kbin.social
