I think I’ve read they prefer Liberapay, but I’m not sure exactly.

It’s funny, when you explain it, my IT hat goes on and I totally get it lol. I guess the context felt different enough that I didn’t get it. But I work with Windows domains all day and that’s exactly how DNS operates in that environment.

Ultimately I think for a tunnel you’ll end up with your records pointing to your VPS. So you’ll have a *.domain.tld CNAME record and maybe a @ CNAME record and your nginx server on the other end of the tunnel would handle the routing.

Cool bot!

I saw this and I think it’s what I’m going to do too. I figure I can just configure it with my existing nginx information and go from there.

So here is a question: does it need to be a sub domain? Can’t I redirect all traffic to the VPS? If I wanted to host a HTML website at my root domain and have it served by nginx for example, couldn’t I do that?

I just see subdomain mentioned in the guides / tools I see but I don’t understand why exactly.

If your not trying to recover data off anything with a hard drive your doing it wrong!

He would need to run some SQL scripts to drop the content I think. I could be wrong though.

But as a rule, I’d defederate from ANYTHING NSFW image wise. Text NSFW is probably fine.

The liability is way to high.

Oh this is very cool

Don’t join the largest instances then. Lemmy.world is over loaded and mastodon.social is historically overloaded.

Dude, your baby isn’t a group of nazi’s what are you on?

I mean, .ml domains are free: http://www.point.ml/en/index.html?lang=en that’s the reason it was used.

You are really missing the forest here. I’m registered on a explicitly Marxist-Leninist instance, where I talk to like minded people. I might want to talk to them about Cats, and only them.

However, I’m subbed to a lot of other communities outside of my instance. My subs are synced with my instance and then show up in the All list on the instance for everyone to explore.

There is a instance explicitly for Starteck, startrek.website, it 3 communities. I’m subbed to their c/startrek and my instances c/startrek and both instances engage with startreks very differently.

This is the strength of Lemmy. It’s more likely that over time niche instances will become the norm, where the communities within them are centered around something (a ideology, a brand, a fandom), but because it’s federated everyone can connect with everyone if they wish.

Why can’t you maintain two accounts exactly? Also, lemmynsfw was having issues early on in their AI porn community where some very questionable stuff was being posted, requiring an explicit age rule to be implementing.

When you sub to a remote community that content is synced to your home instance. I wouldn’t touch NSFW content being federated to an instance I own either. Way to much of a liability. Especially since I would be at the mercy of the random users Im hosting.

This is a strength of Lemmy imo.

What are you on? So instances should have no say in regards to who they federate with? Also it sounds like you’re advocating for centralization… Why would we want that?

This is the right move I think.

Similar to the way nostr does verification: https://www.name.com/blog/how-to-get-nostr-verified-on-a-custom-domain

I wouldnt use .local as that’s also used by apples Bonjour service if I recall correctly. I use .internal which Google and Facebook currently use for microservice stuff. So the odds it ever becomes a tld are almost null.

My switch to ff coincided with on boarding to Lemmy. Id love to attempt to host my own sync server at some point.

That’s a very specific but relevant tip!
