I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain.

I agree, but 50% is still better than 100%. I definitely appreciate that I'm reading about this while being totally unaffected personally rather than just disappearing entirely like what happens with a banned subreddit.

We badly need Lemmy clients that can merge instances even if they're defederated, as well as the other way around, filter out entire instances even if your instance won't defederate from them. Letting instance owners dictate what you can or cannot see is not the way.

There are clients that will do the former (eg. Liftoff) but I'm not aware of any that will do the latter. I don't understand why, it can't be that hard to filter users and communities by instance.

I wanna say connect could do it for a while now. It'll certainly come to many clients

[-] LoopingRiver@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I believe Memmy has a filter for communities and instances.

[-] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

it does, but its broken. the list resets every time you close the app. At least on the full release current build

[-] HamSwagwich@showeq.com 11 points 1 year ago

Yep, I agree. Yet another reason I just spun up my own instance and use that.

[-] CustardCreams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I'm curious as to what you'd need(other than a server) to spin oneupp

[-] Loulou@lemmy.mindoki.com 5 points 1 year ago

Some time and tinkering.

It's quite straightforward (especially if you don't use nginx or need email) to use the docker install.

So you need a Linux box (IDK about windows) a fix IP with a port routed to your machine and some free time. Oh yeah a domain name pointing to said IP.

That's good to know, thanks! Would love to try that some day

It's definitely achievable and I'd encourage anyone to play around with self hosting.

The main thing to acknowledge before getting started is that it's an ongoing commitment, like a puppy. Getting it to work initially is the easy part, you can follow a guide and have something working in a few hours of effort. Running in to problems later on is the tricky part, automated backups and upgrades et cetera, something needs a re-start, things just stop working for some reason.

[-] CustardCreams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Ah yeah, I can imagine it's not a one and done thing, you'd have to do a lot of support with your server, can see it being a massive time sink

[-] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's not so much the amount of time, but the unpredictable schedule.

Something suits itself and you have to fix it to get your stuff working.

Tolerable if it's only you, awful if you have other users.
