I’ve been using Mlem and it’s really good. Everyone else has mentioned Voyager so I’m gonna give that a try too.

 

It doesn’t seem to exist anymore, on the App Store at least. I can see this community is basically dead. Does anyone know the story?

As long as they keep all the historical stuff available.

Debian is really easy to install now. It used to be much harder back in the day.

I'm not knowledgeable enough on the software to respond to these claims, but the great thing about open source software is that you can raise these as issue on Github and they can be fixed.

I've just given the script a go and it seems to have failed

Altough the building timer is still running

Is there somewhere I can access logs to see what happened?

This guy is turning more and more into a Musk wannabe by the day.

[–] HorseFD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think they're going to get much by way of a response.

Maybe this will lead to the government blocking Twitter, probably through something incredibly easy to bypass like DNS.

[–] HorseFD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I might try building from scratch again and running pict-rs in a docker container.

[–] HorseFD@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That does sound incredibly good for free.

Did you have any issues with pict-rs? Is it indeed included within the lemmy-server binary?

[–] HorseFD@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It's a good idea.

Do we have a more active AMA community? All I can find is this:

https://lemmy.world/c/ama

Of course, for people like mods and developers, you could quite easily reach out directly. The Apollo dev is on Mastodon, the Reddit mods probably responds to reddit DMs.

As for actual celebrities, you'd have to get their attention somehow. They have publicists whose job it is is to filter out the people who want to talk to them.

[–] HorseFD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I thought of trying that, but the lemmy container doesn't have ping/wget/curl, unless there is a way to test this without those tools.

 

I'm interested in running Lemmy on an ARM64 host, mostly just for fun and because it's possible.

I've tried a couple of things without getting it right yet:

Building from scratch on Ubuntu 20.04 This went quite well but I was unable to get pict-rs working, so there was no image hosting. I followed this guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/from_scratch.html I had to build imagemagick to get the ARM64 binary, however pict-rs did not run. Is it correct that it's included with the lemmy-server binary or am I understanding how it works wrong?

Using Docker images I was able to get Lemmy up and running using 0.17.3 ARM64 docker images (unfortunately 0.17.4 images don't exist yet). I set up an nginx reverse proxy on the host and was able to access the instance OK, however there was no connectivity between my instance and external sites. Looking in the logs I saw timeout errors:

lemmy_1     | LemmyError { message: None, inner: Request error: error sending request for url (https://kbin.social/u/Emptiness): operation timed out
lemmy_1     | 
lemmy_1     | Caused by:
lemmy_1     |     0: error sending request for url (https://kbin.social/u/Emptiness): operation timed out

So I was wondering if anybody had a guide out there to hosting Lemmy (preferably 0.17.4) on an ARM64 host, either by building it from scratch or by using Docker images. Or any other method really.

I’m hoping people will leave when their favourite app no longer works on July 1. Maybe some of the app developers will move over to Lemmy.

 

I can see it's the Lemmy logo with a big LW over the top of it and coloured like the Earth. But it kind of looks like a strange, colourful fly.

Is this logo here to stay forever? I was quite fond of the simple globe that we had before.
