I also mod. !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world There’s no difference between creating a community on a big instance and hosting a small one in that regard. The costs would be the exact same. I’m taking administration into my own hands and taking that load away from them, and decentralizing which benefits users. If Lemmy.World goes down or defederates from another big instance or makes up some weird rules, then my instance isn’t affected and users have continuity even if they have to make a new account elsewhere.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
The way Lemmy works that media is stored on their instance, not mine. The only thing stored on mine are posts and whatever I upload. It costs $5 a month for a cloud server. I could host from home but I don’t feel like messing with it and it’s cheaper than setting up a server.
Without users the hosting cost is very low. I suppose it could go away if something happened to me I guess. The point is that it’s a community which is completely decentralized.
Feel free to visit. !dullsters@dullsters.net a completely independent and topic focused instance with no users. I created it so that the community would not disappear if an instance closed down or defederated from another big instance.
I just never bothered with the screws, some cables even came without them.
3·1 month ago!dull_mens_club@lemmy.world and
I just launched
Which is not active yet, but I’m trying to post a little bit to get the ball rolling.
That’s how I installed, however I think I messed up the install folder screwing around. I have two instances, one with no users and email has also stopped working on that one. I’ll try to just go back through the basic ansible instructions from scratch and see if that works, I can always roll it back.
I guess I’m still a bit confused. My sites current version is v.0.19.9 The current lemmy release version is v0.19.11. I’m getting this:
* [new branch] ansible-galaxy-install -> origin/ansible-galaxy-install e4f2728..3f0e6c7 main -> origin/main You are not currently on a branch. Please specify which branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details. git pull <remote> <branch>
I wouldn’t care if I had to use multiple messanger apps. There used to be a pc program that let you login to msn, irc, and yahoo messanger all at once and manage your accounts in one place.
8·3 months agoi have dissasembled batteries to recharge the 81650 cells inside then reassemble. If they drop below a certain threshhold then the protection circuit won’t charge them. I have a special charger/tester for lithium cells and a battery tab welder. It’s only worth it if the replacement is unavailable and it’s for something very rare.
I have an axiety disorder, so I’m suing for discrimination.
Itt, I struck a chord? Not sure why I’m being downvoted.
It’s a community only instance. If two big instances defederate from each other, then those users can still visit the same old community. I also don’t have to follow any rules set by admin which don’t really apply to dull content in the first place. Plus I just like growing the fefiverse and the idea of decentralization.
If I subacribe or visit any communities elsewhwere then those will show on the all feed on my instance. So I just have an admin account over there.
It gives you a bit more freedom in that you can federate or defederate with whatever instance you want, you can make your own communities that are free from other instance admin descisions like fed/defed. Less risk of losing your account.
I own dullsters.net but I keep it “pure” by not using that account out here. That way any outside visitor to the site only sees dull stuff.
For me it has been very little work. We’ll see how the 1.0 update goes.
It’s always awesome to see the community I created mentioned in the wild!
I also created !dullsters@dullsters.net as an independent alternative.
