There is a lemmy nixos module https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=lemmy in nixpkgs which is functional. Or at least almost there in terms of ease of use. Even with experience, it still took me over an hour before I could successfully start my instance.

ofc this doesn’t cover the host creation, and other details, I already had a server with NixOS running.

This is a nice start: https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse/

This video from Benn Jordan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Aq3pCtsZo goes through the numbers, and related acquisitions of audio brands, and may help in coming up with an answer to your question.

You could reach out to your instance’s admin, asking them where they are at with the update?

Same experience here. Are you using Jerboa?

Go rip some old disco and go crazy? At least that was a successful way to onboard my MPC. Kept bumping into roadblocks, watched some youtube tutorial, continue, etc. Rince and repeat.

What format is that? It’s 5U but it’s using small jacks?

A counterpount: You can be a young user and not realize yet how wide is public sharing, you may be in an altered state (griefing, drunk) or be pushed around by disability (adhd, or other cognitive impairements). IMO these are not all qualifying as “being a dumbass”.

Additionnally, it’s possible nobody is able to correctly predict the future. Are your thoughts today going to cause you grief tommorrow, in a year, in 10? How about you post today about how good the orange juice you had was, but that is later on an excuse to put you in a labor camp with others due to the fact that eating fruits is now seen as unholy and that you are a sinner, in need of correction?

There is a balance to be struck between “all is public and it is your own fault”, and privacy nightmare. There should be some teaching happening. As somebody else mentions, having a habbit to use Matrix for DMs and more personal matters is one of these good habbits.

Best thing that could happen is that reddit would respond with a surprise “we too” will federate with you all, and implement activity pub. Then you have two big actors competing on an open playground. And we grab a drink and enjoy the light show.

Now we just need to wait and see if Reddit takes the bait and joins the fediverse too, as an attempt to stop hemorraging users. grabs popcorn
