Snikket (which is run by a Prosody dev) is aiming to be the “one app” of XMPP. Their Android version is, IIRC, rebranded Conversations. Not sure on iOS/macOS but I think they have something there as well. And of course their server software is Prosody with a few extra plugins configured by default. All FOSS

Oh yeah, I briefly tried Prosody/XMPP (before a domain scalper stole a previous domain of mine because of a loophole with the TLD i chose) and it worked really well.

It’s a shame Matrix seems to be the current hot new thing when, with a bit of UX polish on all the apps, XMPP would work just as well if not even better.

If you’re thinking of hosting Matrix on that small of a server consider going with Conduit or Dendrite. They’re not as feature complete as Synapse but they’re substantially lighter.

No idea if Gotosocial supports relays or not, which is my choice of software so far. There seems to be some incompatiblilty between gup.pe and GTS (alpha software and all, expected issues obviously) so those are a no-go as well.

Following accounts are fine, but it’s really the creation part that causes issues. Unless you go full on reply guy, and I have at least some sliver of shame left in my body to not go full reply guy.

Rootful Podman & podman-compose. Waiting on the version of Podman that supports passt to hit Debian Bookworm or backports to attempt rootless. Deployed with Ansible except a few manual parts like creating the Postgres databases themselves.

No auto updates or notifications so far, as there seems to be a couple incompatibility issues left with Watchtower & Podman. Although since I switched CrowdSec to monitor journald instead of the Podman socket I don’t really have a reason to keep the daemon running, and I think that’s for the best.

With how unreliable tallying votes over federation is, we’re kinda get vote fuzzing “for free” right now.

My instance seems to be able to access yours. I assume it’s just the general Reddit migration straining the big servers. I know .world is struggling pretty heavily right now.

Alpine is completely separate by RHEL by a country mile (hell, it doesn’t even use glibc). You’re probably thinking of Rocky

I don’t see why it wouldn’t. You may need to enable a config option or two though. Documentation isn’t NixOS’s strongest suit.

It doesn’t have to. I ran Sway on Nix the entire time I used it, and I know Hyprland supports Nix as well

Lemmy 0.18.x supports custom emojis, so we better be doing emojis on Lemmy

EDIT: Ok apparently it does not work the way I expect it to.

I still remember doing one of those award speech edits after my first comment reached 1k all those years ago.

My current/last account got to 57k comment karma without me really trying or giving a shit and is barely two years old.

GNOME’s stance on user customization has been “users can do whatever they feel like using 3rd party tools like Gradience or entirely custom CSS, but if you’re a distro maker then only use the Approved Ways™ to customize things”

Now, I have zero clue if that solves anything (it very likely doesn’t), but it’s actually more than most people give them credit for.

I’d say “go join in on the issue tracker and tell GNOME about this” but hearing from some people who tried that before you I’m not too hopeful that would do much of a difference. All I know is that complaining here isn’t going to solve anything.

Honestly I’d probably host my own Matrix if Conduit wasn’t still so behind on stuff. Like, I think they still don’t support spaces properly, right?

Even Dendrite feels far too heavy and that’s intended to be the “light” option compared to Synapse, which needs an entire server onto itself to have any kind of speed behind it.

It ultimately doesn’t matter where I am from. I’m just trying to highlight the fact that not all the world is the US.

Decentraleyes - prevents tracking through content delivery.

Decentraleyes is AFAIK severely outdated. Use LocalCDN if you must, though I personally am not convinced there’s any real threat model where these are useful.

There are so many Linuxy YouTube Guys With Terrible Politics™ that it’s really not that hard to confuse them with each other.

https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists/src/branch/main/blocklists. Feel free to pick a tier depending on the community you’re building. Tier0 is basically “the bare minimum” but you may want the others depending on the community you’re building up.

Note that this does not seem to include any Lemmy instances yet.

IIRC Lemmy doesn’t have a way of importing blocklists directly, so you’ll either have to whip up a quick script to do so or manually add things by hand, which is tedious and you will give up.

I surely hope you’re not running those two next to uBO. Multiple ad blockers WILL conflict.
