Detect is way too expensive because of the amount of unique visitors you get. When you federate and post, you’ll see your unique visitors climb fast.

Lemmy.ca gets it free I think because they are a non profit and deflect is being generous.

lmao

Netbird is an relay VPN at heart. The machines you connect called “peers” communicate with eachother like it’s one network. I could access my servers from anywhere else and it would connect provided I have the client on and connected.

When you register a peer by installing the client, the device gets a NetBird IP and domain that other peers in the network can access. The communication between the peers is end to end encrypted and if you access them with the provided Netbird IP or domain via HTTP, the packets in wireshark can not be read. From my testing it seems to be quite good.

The reverse proxy service feature is the way you can make something openly accessable without the end user needing to install a client. You specify the protocol, destination and port and you are set. The only downside is you need two domains, one for management and the other for proxying. You also need to set CNAME records right for the SSL certs to work.

My friend who has little self hosting experience was able to quickly get his Jellyfin up within a few minutes. NetBird deals with the cert for you in the background when you make the service. After a few seconds, the service is live and accessable

This is my first PeerTube experience, the site is slow when browsing content, but it works. Peertube.wtf is federated with over 1,531 other platforms, so content is coming from a wide range of places.

The quota given is quite generous, You get a daily upload limit of 10GB and a total limit of 100GB. For someone’s computer space, that’s quite generous.

One thing I don’t like is that the subscriptions feed takes like 30 seconds to load before telling me I have no subscriptions.

It’s needed if we wanna appeal to new users. Look what happened with Tumblr.

Well this app looks like total shit.

First, the website title, it blends in with the background. What the fuck were they doing? Second, I doubt this will resonate well with TikTok’s audience. They want brainrot and slop curated for them. TikTok has an endless ocean of content, while we have a lake of content. I think that’s fine for Lemmy, but not for a TikTok clone. I think TikTok users will join this, scroll for a while, get bored, and go back.

Also to be fair, the site looks better now

I just don’t see it as authoritarian. Wasn’t on a whim, it was voted, and the majority voted to defederate. Does it remove user choice, sure I guess., but so does any form of moderation.

Voting to block a domain and having that domain blocked isn’t comparable to electing an authoritarian leader. Dbzer0 can choose who to and not to federate with. Users who don’t like that move to another instance easily.

Nah, it was decided with a vote. The majority in that server wanted Feddit blocked and that’s what came.
