I found it amusing when, in response to an issue, the admin asked someone to open a ticket by sending it to support@lemmy.world. At first I thought he meant to DM the account, but then I was like Ohhh, you mean actually send an e-mail to that address. I can totally see people confusing the two concepts.

I ran into something similar on Linux Mint. Never seen my installation kill itself before until this. Ended up booting into Recovery mode from the grub menu, and rolled back using Timeshift restore.

For me, the culprit was the ubuntu-drivers-common update, because after I rolled back, I was able to install all the other updates without issue. I just blacklisted this one update to keep it from showing until the next version is released.

According to the ionos api documentation, the API key is formatted as publicprefix.secret

Is that how you entered it in your config?

I get that it's very similar to subreddits going private, and that we have no control over that when it happens. I just find it very disruptive to lose 1/3 of my communities all at once due these events.

The draw of the fediverse is all this interconnectedness. But with people being so divisive these days, it just feels like the end will be siloed walled gardens everywhere. If I need a dozen logins to participate in the communities I want, it just defeats the whole purpose, and we might as well go back to old school single-topic forums.

I used an extreme example, but it's not always that obvious that you're on a server that's going to offend the wrong instance admin. Some don't want to associate with porn, others "tankies". In this case, lemmy.world's offense was simply being "too big".

I get that a lot of redditors are used to creating alts and throwaway accounts. I just don't want to have to do that constantly as a workaround for communities disappearing from my feed due to defederation.

Is there a summary somewhere of each instance's "reputations"? Most descriptions I see are just things like "A place for everyone". It's kind of frustrating that new users are told to join any server, because it's all federated, and then go oops sorry you joined the Nazi server, sucks for you.

Fedora is nice. I use it on my touchscreen laptop and most things just worked out of the box. I use Linux Mint on my desktop and I really like it. I think it's a great distro for people coming from Windows, since the UI will feel a little more familiar.
