Where is this set up at? I’d like to see

With everyone self hosting huge servers like this, my question is… how can I access some large ones like this? Kodi, Plex?

One account to rule them all

I’d forgotten about that guy! Loved him and can honestly say he’s one genuine thing about that place that I miss.

That’s actually great for the price, i7 12, 32Gb ram, 1Tb M2, etc? Not bad at all! Would even be a great little gaming setup

Awesome idea! Signed up immediately but am curious about the payment options, I’m seeing options to sign up for an instance of mastodon, or 10 accounts, or one account with the single account being $9 yearly?

My question is, will I have to pay every single month for every account that I own?

For example, if I have an account on mastodon, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, lemmy.nsfw, beehaw etc. Would I have to pay for all of them individually?

I’m probably missing something! It’s just that while $9 a year for a single mastodon account is cheap @ less than $1 a month, I’d like to have every possible instance available for this one account which under my understanding would cost me hundreds every year?

It’s a great idea, don’t think I’m shitting on it in any way! Just asking questions bc I’d like to use it just not sure I want to pay for every individual instance I join

Well shit, now the links don’t work for me :(

This is stupid

Yess… teach me about the federation… my Lord

Almost a dozen dozens!

Hmm… but what if I’m on the federated instance in theory? Assuming I’d see it then sorry I’m still figuring this place out

I miss back in the day. Used to be able to store all my stuff on CD-R’s, hell before that it was floppy’s. File sizes have grown exponentially, programs/apps all have huge sizes. Pictures and videos is my biggest issue, but I’d also like to backup games that I’ve downloaded so I don’t have to download again. I can backup old games no problem, but modern games? Many are 100+ GB now, and in time they all will be and 200GB will be the standard, then a terabyte and more.

Anyway, until I can afford and find a 20 tb sad I’m just using DVDs for everything but games and large programs. Quick to write, solid, tangeable etc. If I could afford a bunch of flash drives I’d probably do that instead.

If you can afford it and it’s important data I’d ofc recommend backing up to a large SSD, THEN to a cloud (or more) as a failsafe… then also using flash drives/DVD’s etc. For an additional failsafe for the super important stuff.

I mean, if it’s important backup all you can.

I’ve got priceless memories in my Google photos library but ofc Google removed being able to view them on my native photos app and download easily… so instead I either have to backup and save ALL of it in Google drive or download specific albums… idk so I wouldn’t personally recommend google as a true backup as you never know, personally I’d just use DVDs and flash drives for that stuff

It’s still getting it’s bearings but should be g2g in a little bit

There’s a mechanic advice community that’s not memey…

Hey I have a question because this actually interests me and contrary to popular opinionn on this sub I think this idea would work!

Since migrating I’ve found myself wanting to search Reddit dozens of times for content I needed but was too damned pissed to provide them with any traffic.

My input is: it seems that the main beef of most people here is the lack of engagement, making Lemmy seem like a ghost town. Would we be able to comment on the mirrored posts (on Lemmy) thus solving the engagement problem? I’m no techspert but feel like allowing comments underneath mirrored posts for Lemmy, not Reddit would be possible I guess? Or at least some equivalent?

I’m also interested in this because I have my own little feed I’m setting up, and it would be cool to be able to add more content very easily. I don’t really want it to be from Reddit but, just anything different I could do would be nice, and hey if there is something important I’d like to add from there or even just to take notes that’d be nice so I for one would use it.

A bridge that allows us access to reddits content, driving up their traffic (and server costs) - the whole reason for the API changes WHILE refusing them any engagement? Sounds like a win-win to me.

I figured you could! That is strange. I searched it just now and got it, the only difference I can think of other than being on sh.itjust.works would maybe be the app you’re using? I’m not savvy enough to have much of a guess tbh but it would be nice if people could find us!

I know I was bummed out when I couldn’t find a community for it, one of the biggest miffs I had about leaving Reddit!

It’s only really been active for a little bit, maybe that’s why? Aside from that, I’d guess that maybe it’s an issue with different instances though couldn’t say for certain as I’m Lemmy inept. Are you on Lemmy.world?

There’s a mechanic advice community now on lemmy.world (I think?) And we’re not… idk, not bad yet I haven’t seen any ugliness myself as of yet. Hopefully it will stay that way!

Fuck Reddit, but I also feel like Boost will give us a boost. It’s got some features I’ve yet to find on other apps and hopefully will make Lemmy a little easier for people like me who made the switch

It’s also pretty much exactly like the app for reddit was which had a big following so hopefully will make it easier for former boost on Reddit users to switch to lemmy

Welcome!

Didn’t know anyone would be interested! Here ya go https://lemmy.world/c/mechanicadvice join, comment and post away! If there’s anything you’d like to see in the community let me or someone else know, we’re still figuring it out
