  • Urgh, yeah.

    I use the ‘official’ Jerboa app and the web interface and duuude is it a Hassle to add a sole unknown community!

    I’m doing them all for what I know ; pasting different link types into jerboa search, pasting the instance, !first, /c/ … Going to web UI, doing the same, doing the lemmy.mysite.com/c/other@thatinstance.com or what the correct thing is (I have it somewhere) and obviously it still doesn’t work.

    For like 30 minutes.

    Then it “just works” 😅

    It would be great if admins at least (I can see the possible abuse if anyone can force-feed communities to the instance, but well they can today so… ) can add communities to their instances by some “add-list” the server grabs quickly (I know we can by subbing to them but see above, it sure is not easy). Could be cool to be able to grab a bunch of fun communities, or art communities, or sport communities or whatever someone shares, and just force feed them to your instance.

    I thought whitelisting was something along those lines, I sure was surprised 🙂.

    Great job though Lemmy Developers, I’m quite sure Lemmy will roam the internet for ever!




  • Putting a fan after another will up pressure (doubling in theory), but not displace more air. Except if the air has to go through something slowing it down where more pressure will help to push more air through it.

    There are obviously lots of variables at play (the extra fan takes up space too, reducing airflow for example) so you are surely right that it’s probably useless or worse to have a “double fan” for a PC cooling system, but the fans being in perfect sync is just a noise problem (on small fans like this).



  • Thank you ❤️!

    Yes the technical side have been not without complications and I still haven’t figured out the email part (I’m at OVH). For image sizes I thought 4TB could host 50.000 images of max size (20MB if I got that number right) so a good start. Bigger images (scans) would need more but drive space isn’t that expensive so for now I think it’s kind of reasonable. Gotta setup a backup system though…

    Yes, I will gladly accept a Blocklist, we can try to hash out the “rules” too (no fachos, hate, evil …).

    What about making a meta community over at mindoki?








  • Close, but with the added possibility to change the data (like a website/blog/chat) and not only have static data.

    So on this protocol, you can have a website with a link to my website, who has a link to yours. Maybe that doesn’t sound crazy cool :-) but filecoin, IPFS etc just does not have that functionality (with them you have a key/link, and it is locked to 1 data. Fix a typo in your text and you have to redistribute a new key/link on the old web or similar, it’s totally static), and for me it’s a must if you want to provide a functioning “new web”.



  • Yeah I cheer on this one!

    On the other hand I got a different protocol (& implementation up and running) that can be used right away. It’s like IPFS but easy to “install” (a double click and a port forward is all that’s needed), you are also in control of your data and of course you can change the data without changing the link.

    Don’t get me wrong, IPFS paved the road. But today we have better ways to do things.
