I‘m way ahead of you. Using three forgejo instances and patiently waiting for federation. I love forgejo.

It makes no sense to switch from either to the other imo. It would make sense to switch to mobile linux for those who are tech savvy and once it is more polished, the others.

Also brainwashing. People get their ideas from other people. Some through books, some through those they call experts but we‘re very easily influenced. Getting blasted with biased shows and commercials that show us how „fair“ law enforcement is makes people easy targets for pushing dangerous laws.

So effectively its not FOSS.

Its not a surprise but it has not really received a lot of attention since people have reported it.

Also signal as a service is not really open source because it is not selfhostable. The server backend is proprietary afaik.

Thanks mate! Very awesome! Pinging my other account haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com

Amazing indeed! Thanks a lot for the ping. I switched instances in between. Gonna ping myself @haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com

Which is exactly how the real world works. Harm has to be identified to suggest solutions. Otherwise you‘re becoming the helicopter parent that denies their kid every opportunity to learn and cause allergies and other bad outcomes. Translated back to the fediverse: it is great the way it is and improvements are always encouraged. We have much bigger and more pressing issues. This is not it.

Oh! I didnt know that was OS only! Thanks for lmk!

Additional question: wouldn’t it be cool to have a place where you can only get open source stuff? Obviously there needs to be more to it than this fact i presume but its a start.

You can. Source: I run an instance.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will check it out! :)

Thanks for pointing this out. For now, I’m good with the @matrix but I will keep that in mind. Now the federation seems to be working. I completely threw out the npm config and remade it. Here’s the new logs. One thing doesn’t work anymore though: I’m not receiving messages from my second account and am not getting “is online” notification (green circle). Here’s the current log. https://hastebin.com/share/piyumiloho.yaml (btw the .well-known was because federation tester pointed out there was none and I assumed that was the problem.)

docker-compose.yml https://hastebin.com/share/izeroqiqil.yaml homeserver.yaml https://hastebin.com/share/iquzehofen.yaml npm host file https://hastebin.com/share/alolegoyey.bash synapse log https://hastebin.com/share/abumisutuz.yaml (please note that these errors are not representative of the “functioning but no federation” I had earlier since I seemingly broke something when trying to set it up differently.)

Here is the config! Thanks again for offering your help!

lemmy.hjson https://hastebin.com/share/giqoxejiru.yaml
docker-compose.yml https://hastebin.com/share/osavazijag.yaml
npm host file https://hastebin.com/share/ruyivojoyu.bash
lemmy ui log https://hastebin.com/share/lakurefohe.php

Let me know if you need anything else! :)

Here it is! Thanks again for offering your help.

I definitely will post them. Just gotta get to my pc. Thanks for offering your help.

Very cool! I‘ll post the configs as soon as I am on my computer! Thank you for offering.

Thanks for answering. I‘m using synapse at this point but I‘m not totally set on that. I need to get back to you on the configs. They’re a huge pain to set up. I kinda get why people are using ansible playbooks. Getting the homeserver.hjson and compose file to sync up and generally getting the configs of those to sync up and then needing srv records and custom npm locations really gets to me.

I‘m thinking of hosting a peertube instance just for funzies. It seems like an awesome thing. I just dont „get“ it as much as I get mastodon, lemmy and matrix. Something about the discovery process does not click with me yet. Is anyone making an ios (i know) app soon?

I agree completely. I would argue that we dont need the comments at all. A post, laying out the initial comment chain would be enough. Like I said „user1“ and so on but with real names.

The reason I‘d like to do it this way (without comments but preserving the OPs names) is twofold: its not pretentious (as comments from the same person) and it would honor the original posters.
