Some subs had existing fourms that had some loose affiliation so I’ve saw some migrate that way, but it is weird to make a new fourm instead of something Federated, but if it works for them so be it.

Yea somehow selling the company off at a massive loss will be his “high IQ business plan” and not what it really is: the result of him committing to a deal, realizing it was a bad idea but then being forced to go through with it so he pretended he did it for “muh freeze peach”. I almost wonder if the reason he’s been pandering to the right is gonna to run for office for something like Governor of Texas and use that as a grift to recoup his losses from his Twitter blunder, though that’s speculation going to conspiracy theory territory.

seriously, distributing the load helps a LOT. Though if you can’t spin up your own instance one thing you can do is try and host pictures externally, in !youshouldknow[email protected] a post mentioned how to do it for images in comments since by default it has you upload if you don’t manually put in ![image](link)

From what I understand as long as it’s a Federated activitypub based instance like Mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy they can communicate between each other but the platforms can have issues presenting the data from other ones in a way that makes sense.

Reminds me of early 2010s iOS (in a good way)

Yea I figured out about the subscribing thing (also hi from my working self hosted instance!), wish someone made a way to have a bot subscribe to communities en masse to populate the instance. Maybe I can learn to code and make it myself 😂

Tbh I have no idea how to use git other than clone 😂, I ended just resetting the VPS and trying UberDuck77’s script and that did the trick. Maybe now I should learn to code so I can make a bot account to mass subscribe to communities to populate my instance

You should always check the vehicle because things like weight and load can change the needed PSI.

I haven’t really used kbin but I’m wondering if that could bridge the gap since it has features from both.

Alternatively run your own instance and do instance operators a favor.
