Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.

You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.

I remember when the female dating strategy sub did this rather successfully.

They were about to get banned anyway for the incel-like behaviour and took it upon themselves to switch platforms.

Just be thankful it’s an 8 minute video and not a 2 minute tic tok full of weird facial expressions.

I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.

Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.

This post is 2 years old lol

Because they aren’t really volunteers. They love the power they wield and would do anything to keep it.

The real volunteers already quit.

Yes that’s true. That’s why I can confidently say any browser because they are all the same.

Reddit doesn’t respect that on iPhones through any browser.

So anti consumer it hurts.

This is the true final blow to third party apps.

I noticed they did something similar to the mobile website. Even with appropriate content blockers there’s absolutely no way you can see sexually explicit content on mobile without their app.

It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.

For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.

Bigger than you think.

Most people who moved over are more likely to be contributors.

Only like 1% of redditors ever interact with the platform.

Instead of looking at ‘how much they lost’ think about ‘how much we gained’. This effect has started the network effect for Lemmy.

I pay them nearly $100 a month for internet. They can get fucked if they want to dictate what legal things I do with it.

Another Pro tip:

If you really want to self host and have good internet speeds, then just use a dynamic dns service to point a domain at your home network :)

It’s free minus the power costs. Sure you won’t be able to guarantee availability but for most personal(and friends/family) use it’s more than good enough.

I say this because the reason a lot of people use VPS is because their ISP won’t give them a static IP. You don’t need a static IP.

oh… I saw a meme about this and thought it was just a joke.

Sounds about right

‘Some of you may die, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take’

I have a buddy who’s into gundam, I’ll let him know about it when I tell him about Lemmy if you give me a link :)

Speaking of those large subs. Does anyone have the equivalent of world news, news, and games subreddits here?

I found a technology one, just need to grab those other ones. Links appreciated.

And even worse, they know that Lemmy is legitimately something that could take over.

Once we are past the growing pains here, I see literally nothing reddit offers over Lemmy. It’s the superior product.
