It sounds more like you want to create a new community on an existing instance.

Setting up a new community can be as easy as clicking the new community button and filling in the fields.

Setting up a whole instance of Lemmy (like lemmy.world, which you’re on, or aussie.zone, which I’m on) is way more involved than you’re probably thinking - buying a domain name, figuring out hosting, installing the Lemmy software, and a whole lot more.

Uhhhh…

What?

Why would you post this article here, in this community?

Did you cross-post your blog to the wrong place?

What is this and how is it relevant to the community you’re posting in?

hence the distraint

Is this a typo or a cool new word I can use?

In a technical context, yes, a GIF refers to a specific image format. However, plenty of people now use “gif” to mean any short soundless video loop, regardless of how that video is stored.

It’s silly, but I can see how it happened.

And now the cropping is fixed, so the comments deriding the cropping don’t make sense anymore.

Yeah some of the libraries near me have a selection of video games on the shelves. At least one even has board games.

I love libraries.

Those caps are meant to affect the way you read it.

In this post, the capital letters (plus the “How To”) suggest a title, like a book or something.

Are you lost?

I can’t see why you would make this post here.

Maybe you mean one of the “ask” communities?

My friend had light switches that glowed with a bright blue LED glow.

I couldn’t stand it. I prefer to sleep in the actual darkness.

I don’t know how NaytaData made it, but if I were doing it, I would do something like this:

• start with a “blank” un-coloured map of coastline and country borders
• put all the “capital” cities on the map
• make a temporary grid of points over the map and find the closest city for each point
• paint the map based on those temporary grid points

I would use a computer but the same steps would work with paper & pen.

I don’t see it, sorry.

I’d prefer communities be more about concepts or places than specific brands or companies.

But even if the proposal were about a community for electricity or energy generally instead of a particular company… It’s still a no from me. I don’t really see either of those as topics that would attract much daily/weekly discussion.

Syncthing may not have its own Web-based file browser but a regular Web server (like Apache or ngninx) can show a list of files in a directory without much configuration. Just point it at a shared folder. You could configure a fancier file browser like Filestash, File Browser Quantum, or even Nextcloud if you feel it’s worthwhile.

Likewise, Syncthing may not have its own concept of a “main” hoster, but it doesn’t need to: you can decide what “main” means to you. Perhaps the one you designate “main” has different ignore patterns, or a longer retention policy.

“Keeping some files remote” can be simply making sure your ignore patterns are set how you want them, if that works for you.

Just as easily from every angle? No slowdown at all, even for mirrored text?

That’s pretty cool, even if it is mostly useless.

What’s “soggy pastry” talking about?

I see the same results as Baku using a different third-party client (Voyager).

• Searching for communities matching “brisbane” shows one !brisbane@aussie.zone and two others (Brisbane trains, and also a community on a different instance).

• When I view the Brisbane community sorted by new, I see two separate posts about water showing up next to each other, not nested the way that cross-posts usually show.

I like it!

Quesadilla looks like there’s room to mangle it further:

MODE=0022 sounds like user perms are different from group and other.

0022 in octal perms corresponds to u=rwx, g=rx, o=rx.

I don’t know if udev “MODE” is the relevant thing here but you could try 0002 so the user part and group part are the same.
