Fediverse@lemmy.world•The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rentEnglish
2·8 months agoWe have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

5·8 months agoSending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.
(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)

Fediverse@lemmy.world•The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rentEnglish
121·8 months agoFor lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.
(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy InstanceEnglish
7·9 months agoThe server is in Finland, actually. I am in The Netherlands, so is the non-profit foundation owning LW.
I’ll try to install the BookFace UI on friendica.world. Also I’ve started a Friendica manual at https://help.friendica.onl/ but it needs to get content.
How so?

Technology@lemmy.world•Tenacious iPhone user finally unlocks phone locked for almost a decadeEnglish
63·1 year agoOoh an iPhone that’s been locked for 50 years, I wonder what iPhones looked like in 1974!
I haven’t read this. But I know you can unlock your iPhone using your icloud account.
(Still, happy I switched to android this year)
It would have been better if they communicated to us first. I don’t disagree that user signups should be spread over instances. We now have a link to https://lemmyverse.net on our signup page so people can check if another instance would fit them better.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Let's clarify something: does Bluesky allow federated servers on their network? Is there a list of those independent servers?English
9·1 year agoI have setup bskysocial.world to test that (there’s no web interface, just select this domain when logging in or signing up via the app or https://bsky.app)
Note: This is for testing only, I can’t promise it will remain running.
(I am @ruud.bskysocial.world)
I like Vivaldi, which is Chromium based. I also like Safari for the speed. Difficult to choose between the two. The feature that Vivaldi has and Safari hasn’t, which I’m missing in Safari, is tab auto-refresh.
Ahh yes I meant as opposed to Twitter and Facebook. But I worded it badly 😁
For moderators surely Mastodon. For admins too… For users: that’s a taste-thing. I’m not a developer so can’t say…
Yeah somewhere between twitter and facebook clone, more like Mastodon. But open-source and federated, like Lemmy.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Does anyone know what software runs FediDB and if it's open source? This is the most beautifully functional web interface I've ever seen.English

Fediverse@lemmy.world•lemmy.ml is getting nothing new from lemmy.world, seem cut off since Saturday EDIT: fixed on WednesdayEnglish
33·2 years agoOhh sorry to hear that. RIP








Codeberg runs on Forgejo, which you can selfhost. (If you wanna try, let me know, I can create an account for you on https://forgejo.world/). It has (or will have) activitypub (federation).
Friendica is nice, I’d say try it (https://friendica.world/), but host it yourself if you like it. Personally I use Sharkey (https://sharkey.world/) which you can use like Mastodon, but with longer posts, and you can create pages (like this one https://ruud.social/@ruud/pages/postgresql ).
