If your not using wefwef already, try it out.
Closest thing to Apollo right now.

Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.
MacOS.
Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.
Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.
I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.
It’s the beginning of the end if you catch my drift.
There’s no way Reddit can recover from this.
Even if they were to revert every single poor decision in the last 6 months right now, the damage is done.
They showed their true colours, and everyone is done with the platform.
Long live Lemmy.
This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.
The word nuclear in general just scares people.
Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.
You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.
I had to exit the app to confirm which one was wefwef.
I love that this post was literally 2 posts down from a pegging post on my ‘all’ feed.
I miss the Wild West days. It built character.
Children today never have to see this kind of shit anymore.
Uh no, you can’t. It’s like any game with DRM.
You can’t play most games on steam without logging in at least once.
Just use TLLauncher.
It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.
For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.
In a lot of subs it was like that though, to be fair.
Some mods go around collecting subs like cards. I’ve seen certain subs where the mods didn’t really bother protesting, or even did protests that actually drove traffic and platform engagement (r/awww and r/videos) because the thought of being removed from their positions of power was too much to handle.
These kind of mods felt like they ‘owned’ the subreddit in the same way spez thought he ‘owned’ everything. It was not free labour for them, they loved doing it and controlling content streams. If they were asked to pay money to stay as mod, they probably would.
Sorry if this post offends any of the good mods. If you are more likely to say ‘the sub I moderate’ over ‘my sub’ then you are probably one of the good ones, my statements don’t apply, and the whole ‘landed gentry’ thing is incredibly offensive.
I had a feeling there was something going when when Steve Huffman specifically called out in his interview that most comments sections were full of users ‘just wanting to go back to normal’ when the sub polls were clearly showing a different story.
It’s crazy how some of the communications from their CEO has been.
He clearly thinks he owns all the content on the platform and even called the third party app users ‘freeloaders’ when a ton of them were top contributors to the platform.
Bigger than you think.
Most people who moved over are more likely to be contributors.
Only like 1% of redditors ever interact with the platform.
Instead of looking at ‘how much they lost’ think about ‘how much we gained’. This effect has started the network effect for Lemmy.
I pay them nearly $100 a month for internet. They can get fucked if they want to dictate what legal things I do with it.
Another Pro tip:
If you really want to self host and have good internet speeds, then just use a dynamic dns service to point a domain at your home network :)
It’s free minus the power costs. Sure you won’t be able to guarantee availability but for most personal(and friends/family) use it’s more than good enough.
I say this because the reason a lot of people use VPS is because their ISP won’t give them a static IP. You don’t need a static IP.
It’s a web app! No download required.
