Depends.

First of all these communities might have the same name, but are not exactly the same, so the post might fit or not.

I also think that mass-crossposting in one go is not ok.



Hmm, ok. Not sure why it doesn’t work here right now. Thanks for testing :)




Thanks for the introduction!

Are you able to post further new messages here? Somehow for me this community seems to have a bug that I can’t post new topics. Not sure what is causing this.



Cool project and workshop!




Nginx, because it works well and most open-source projects provide good examples for it when setting up things.

May I ask how this is related to DIY? I don’t have time to watch a full movie right now ;)



Sure, go ahead and adapt it. Do-ocracy and all that ;)

I was merely suggesting an option can can work right now with existing tools.


Wildcard SSL certs are usually generated via a DNS-01 challenge, which are unrelated to the web-server you are using. Maybe Caddy has a special function for it, but normally it wouldn’t be involved at all.

You can turn !fixing into that if you like. Just mention it in the sidebar text.

I can only make you a mod in communities you have posted something (a comment is sufficient).

Thanks for offering to help out, much appreciated!


You will quickly realize that there isn’t a “best”. Each serves a different niche related to the instance it is on and you will just have to see which ones you prefer. This isn’t Reddit and it is also not supposed to be Reddit. Better get used to it :)


It you have two friends called “Tom” do you also save both their phone numbers under the same entry in your contact list?


There is only Jerboa (with Lemmur being broken and abandoned). But you can install the PWA webapp in your mobile browser and that works quite well. Not sure if Lemmy supports web-push already though.



The entire point of Lemmy being federated is that you can do that and don’t need a separate account.

Edit: however you can not just go to lemmy.ml and use the same account, you have interact with lemmy.ml through slrpnk.net


It sounds a bit like if you are unaware that you can interact with communities on other servers with your account here? Why would people then even need to “apply to every single instance that they’re interested in”?



Totally depends on the individual server settings.


Yes, but why would you use an app with a service if the app only supports half of it?


The Playstore app is in near constant communication with the Google servers (for “checking updates”), so Google can track you quite well via this.



Test bestanden.


“still”?

There is a certain risk that a server that federates with really questionable instances might get blocked by Beehaw and other well moderated instances as well.


You can’t, that’s the point. Just make a new account somewhere else.


Not impossible, but I think that is unlikely has kbin has a totally different backend and also additional functionality that is not available in Lemmy apps.

Not a full list, but you can see the communities moderated by https://slrpnk.net/u/ex_06



Solarpunk is also about taking matters into your own hands and creating human-sized community infrastructure, so I think it is very much related to self-hosting.



40mbit upload might be a bit tight in the long run, but enough to start out. There are ways to offload bandwith especially for images via caching so that might help as well. Text only doesn’t need much bandwidth.


2gb will be probably insufficient, mainly because of Matrix Synapse. If you avoid joining any large communities it might work, but if you are not doing that you might as well use a XMPP server which is better anyways.

A small Lemmy instance will take around 500-1000mb RAM so that will likely work but use a significant portion of your RAM.


Yes people are very much welcome on our community. It is a bit more focused on homelab stuff via low-power ARM boards and upcycled old PC hardware, but this is not a strict requirement.


Telegram. For most stuff, especially public groups, e2ee is vastly overrated.

What matters more is that the Telegram clients are fully open-source and accessible from a more trust worthy 3rd party on F-Droid. With WhatsApp you have basically no idea what the closed client is really doing on your device and you are also stuck with Googles user tracking via the Playstore.

In addition (at least for now), Telegram has a pretty open API, meaning that you can connect to it with alternative clients and bridges easily and without much risk of getting your account banned. Due to this there are many nicely working 3rd party integrations and overall you are much less held hostage by the main provider as in the case of WhatsApp.


Slightly OT: It is actually a longer term plan of me to hook Lemmy up to this: http://solarprotocol.net/

So while this is not going to improve latency, it will improve the energy sustainability a lot 🤩

Communities up for adoption
Our instance has been around for a while now and had its ups and downs. As a result there are some communities for which the original creators and mods are not active participants anymore. This is especially true for those moderated solely by @ex_06 who originally started this site but handed it over to me about six months ago due to changed life priorities. There are also a lot of communities only moderated by me, and as the current sole site admin I would like to distribute the moderation efforts a bit more. It is not strictly necessary to have an account on slrpnk.net to become a community moderator, as Lemmy supports federated moderation. Thus if you are joining us from an remote instance feel free to apply as well. So if any of those communities are especially interesting to you, please make a short introduction post in them and I can transfer moderation rights to you. Thanks!

Firefox would like a word with you. Of course the others are all the same, because they just reskin chromium.


Ah, you mean the “Lemmur” app? That one has been abandoned by the developer and is broken.


Jerboa definitly works with slrpnk.net, you just need to type it in. I think it only has a small list of recommended instances built in.

No idea why the Sopranica community isn’t showing up in the search. Maybe try subscribing from the webinterface and see if that changes anything.


Lemmy is the older more establish project that focusses on ActivityPub groups (Reddit like), while Kbin is much newer and a hybrid of a Reddit like and something more like Mastodon and Twitter.


There is a similar problem with https://lemmy.ml/c/xmpp@lemmy.ml and it is clearly a bug.

I think it might have to do with the name of the community and if that includes a “/” which used to work but broke a few weeks ago.

>In this episode we explore a relatively new subgenre of science fiction called Solarpunk, which aims to imagine better, more ecologically harmonious, futures on earth. In many ways Solarpunk is a reaction to both the real-world climate crisis and to the many apocalyptic visions of collapse filling our screens. Andrew Sage from the YouTube channel @Andrewism joins host Jonathan McIntosh and friend of the show Carl Williams for this conversation.

A Solarpunk Manifesto
pin
Solarpunk is a movement in speculative fiction, art, fashion, and activism that seeks to answer and embody the question “what does a sustainable civilization look like, and how can we get there?” The aesthetics of solarpunk merge the practical with the beautiful, the well-designed with the green and lush, the bright and colorful with the earthy and solid. Solarpunk can be utopian, just optimistic, or concerned with the struggles en route to a better world ,  but never dystopian. As our world roils with calamity, we need solutions, not only warnings. Solutions to thrive without fossil fuels, to equitably manage real scarcity and share in abundance instead of supporting false scarcity and false abundance, to be kinder to each other and to the planet we share. Solarpunk is at once a vision of the future, a thoughtful provocation, a way of living and a set of achievable proposals to get there. - We are solarpunks because optimism has been taken away from us and we are trying to take it back. - We are solarpunks because the only other options are denial or despair. - At its core, Solarpunk is a vision of a future that embodies the best of what humanity can achieve: a post-scarcity, post-hierarchy, post-capitalistic world where humanity sees itself as part of nature and clean energy replaces fossil fuels. - The “punk” in Solarpunk is about rebellion, counterculture, post-capitalism, decolonialism and enthusiasm. It is about going in a different direction than the mainstream, which is increasingly going in a scary direction. - Solarpunk is a movement as much as it is a genre: it is not just about the stories, it is also about how we can get there. - Solarpunk embraces a diversity of tactics: there is no single right way to do solarpunk. Instead, diverse communities from around the world adopt the name and the ideas, and build little nests of self-sustaining revolution. - Solarpunk provides a valuable new perspective, a paradigm and a vocabulary through which to describe one possible future. Instead of embracing retrofuturism, solarpunk looks completely to the future. Not an alternative future, but a possible future. - Our futurism is not nihilistic like cyberpunk and it avoids steampunk’s potentially quasi-reactionary tendencies: it is about ingenuity, generativity, independence, and community. - Solarpunk emphasizes environmental sustainability and social justice. - Solarpunk is about finding ways to make life more wonderful for us right now, and also for the generations that follow us. - Our future must involve repurposing and creating new things from what we already have. Imagine “smart cities” being junked in favor of smart citizenry. - Solarpunk recognizes the historical influence politics and science fiction have had on each other. - Solarpunk recognizes science fiction as not just entertainment but as a form of activism. - Solarpunk wants to counter the scenarios of a dying earth, an insuperable gap between rich and poor, and a society controlled by corporations. Not in hundreds of years, but within reach. - Solarpunk is about youth maker culture, local solutions, local energy grids, ways of creating autonomous functioning systems. It is about loving the world. - Solarpunk culture includes all cultures, religions, abilities, sexes, genders and sexual identities. - Solarpunk is the idea of humanity achieving a social evolution that embraces not just mere tolerance, but a more expansive compassion and acceptance. - The visual aesthetics of Solarpunk are open and evolving. As it stands, it is a mash-up of the following: - 1800s age-of-sail/frontier living (but with more bicycles) - Creative reuse of existing infrastructure (sometimes post-apocalyptic, sometimes present-weird) - Appropriate technology - Art Nouveau - Hayao Miyazaki - Jugaad-style innovation from the non-Western world - High-tech backends with simple, elegant outputs - Solarpunk is set in a future built according to principles of New Urbanism or New Pedestrianism and environmental sustainability. - Solarpunk envisions a built environment creatively adapted for solar gain, amongst other things, using different technologies. The objective is to promote self sufficiency and living within natural limits. - In Solarpunk we’ve pulled back just in time to stop the slow destruction of our planet. We’ve learned to use science wisely, for the betterment of our life conditions as part of our planet. We’re no longer overlords. We’re caretakers. We’re gardeners. - Solarpunk: - is diverse - has room for spirituality and science to coexist - is beautiful - can happen. **Now!**

Slrpnk.net now on dedicated hardware
After being hosted by the Lemmy devs since March 2022 (thx!), I finally got around moving this instance to my own server today. It is a quite beefy server (8core 32gb RAM) currently shared with a few other services provided by [F-hub.org](https://f-hub.org) (still somewhat under construction). Registrations are also open again (with admin approval) and I will try to approve them ASAP during the coming days.

As explained previously, ~~this instance is still running on the Lemmy dev's free hosting offer~~ which was graciously extended (thx!) a bit for me to look into transferring it to my own server. I haven't been making as much progress with it as I hoped in recent weeks (due to various factors), but to be honest the little work that I did put into it made me realize that I am really not a big fan of the tech-stack that Lemmy uses. As I have been running and using some other Fediverse software, I also realized that the communities-only nature of Lemmy is isolating it from the rest of the Fediverse and to be honest I am not too happy with the homegrown community lately. So I am seriously considering a reboot of slrpnk.net using a different software and now might be a good time for it as there are only very few active users of this instance and I have to transfer it to my server soon anyway. Options that I considered are Pixelfed (for a more creators/artist focussed instance), Akkoma (to be closer to the main Fediverse) and the new Kbin. The linked roadmap convinced me that Kbin might be the best option. It uses a tech-stack I am much more familiar with and combines Lemmy like communities with Mastodon like microblogging. So while I have not 100% made up my mind yet, consider this an early warning that this instance is probably going to undergo some major changes and if you would prefer to stay on Lemmy, it might be better to migrate your account somewhere else. However Kbin is in theory compatible with Lemmy, so it might end up not such a big change after all. Do note however that there is no migration path, so accounts and communities would need to be re-created. Let me know what you think :)
