I beg you, please take care of yourself if it’s needed, take time off, relax, get help from others. I think you have a philosophy to not take money out of the donations, but speaking as one of the contributors, I think that’s unfair considering the amount of work you put in.

What I’m saying is just do what it takes to not let it lead to burnout. I don’t think anyone that understands the value of this instance would mind.

The biggest forum style ones are https://forocoches.com/foro/forumdisplay.php?f=2 & https://www.meneame.net/ But also algorithm driven ones like Instagram and tiktok.

Spain had smaller presence on Reddit as well. They tend to keep to other spanish speaking forums, often shared with Latin America.

Basically because there are so many Spanish speakers in the world, spaniards don’t even bother to learn English or interact with the broader internet.

Honestly, joining a community just for the type of content they have or what they filter is useless. Best approach for me is to have access to everything and then filter what you don’t like by yourself.

Hasn’t been updated for a while unfortunately.

I used it until recently thinking the same, but it just became too broken for me. I’m on thunder now and I got it to work exactly the way I used sync and everything seems to actually be working.

I specifically remember looking up tables of who defederates from who and what instances allow NSFW or downvoting because this was an issue among some of the top instances back then.

I ended up making 4 different accounts over 2 months until I landed on a server I’m happy with. That will never be acceptable to any normal user.

Every time someone brings up these issues, people here downplay them like you are doing it right now and nothing is ever done about it.

I was in a similar situation as you, with an existing docker solution, looking for something easier to manage. Yunohost had this hype behind it that I couldn’t resist. At first it did seem easier with the official apps, but as soon as I needed anything outside the set boundary the dream collapsed. The final nail for me was not being able to get smb working.

Good thing I had kept my docker setup safe so it was easy to revert to it. It’s more of a pain, but it’s also more versatile and capable so I have no better choice at the moment. Portainer helps a lot.

I think it’s because businesses tend to focus on super easy access, user interface and user engagement first, while open source projects tend to focus on tech and often forget about the end user experience.

This strategy has been working pretty great for oil companies. They’ve managed to extend their existence for decades.

This is on me for sure that I’ve never seen anyone be faster using a CLI compared to a GUI especially for basic operations which is what most of us do 95% of the time. I know there are specific cases where a command just does it better/easier but for me that’s not the case for everyday stuff.

I know I’m going to get down voted for this but this would be almost impossible to fuck up with a gui. Yet people insist that writing commands manually is superior. I’m sorry for your loss.

This exists in Sync for Lemmy. I couldn’t live without it tbh.

It’s very confusing because there’s settings for it in the apps, then there settings for it in your account and finally some instances don’t even federate with NSFW content so you have to check at all 3 levels to get it working.

In that time we’ve had new people come and experience a lack of apps, many that we do have today were still in the works a month or two ago. We’ve had performance issues, shitty Active sorting that still shows week old posts no matter how many times you refresh, we’ve had instances simply disappearing over night, we’ve had ddos attacks, we’ve had horrible content spam like CSAM and issues with extremism.

All of that with the cherry on top that signing up for Lemmy, understanding how it works and using it day to day is not as easy as a place like reddit. Who knows what the future holds for Lemmy.

Honestly, I moved away from that instance after days of issues, downtimes and timeouts. Been a smooth experience since then. It’s unfortunate that they are more focussed on grabbing as many new users as possible instead of giving the existing users a stable experience.
