It was PuTTY! https://sopuli.xyz/comment/19141404

You nailed it, this was the one!! Thanks so much!

Hey, what’s your budget? You could go far with a second-hand NUC (next unit of computing), I’m sure you can get one for under $100 and you could do more than just nextcloud with it (peertube, VPN, chat etc).

Security is fundamentally subjective because whatever objective calculus you use will always depend on the threat model at hand, and everyone’s threat model is different, i.e. subjective. I’ve personally lost a physical credit card but never had my card details stolen in 10+ years of using payment apps.

This is the most unhelpful kind of comment where you basically shame someone for having preferences. Why people feel the need to make their callousness public instead of just shutting up, I never know.

This is effectively saying, “This article is correct but for the wrong reasons”. People aren’t angry about why hundreds of migrants dying isn’t newsworthy. They’re angry that it’s not newsworthy.

I’m frankly surprised that not enough people find it disgusting that the EU passively killing hundreds of refugees is less interesting because the EU does so regularly.

I should emphasize that a lot of pro-Western outlets and commentators have recently weaponised the term to discredit any diverging points of view re-the Ukraine War. So someone like Cornel West would be a “tankie” by this point of view, which is actually kind of disgusting in how dishonest it is.

Amazingggg, never thought of the YouTube use case, I’m gonna try it myself. I’ve been using NewPipe and Libretube, but they just don’t cut it for me hahaha.

Yep, the UI can be a bit tricky. If I swipe a few times it usually figures out that I’m trying to refresh, and does so.

My thoughts exactly! I plan to use Native Alpha mostly to give the devs ample time to improve Jerboa, and will eventually jump ship (I think)

On mobile website, just click the hamburger menu from the top right and click “Create Community”!

Oh nice, I’ll try this too!

I think you’re right in that the structure is confusing. Personally, I think it’s less confusing than it is “novel”. Like in a world where the fediverse was the norm, centralised apps would’ve been confusing.

Either which way, I think you’re correct – part of it is because we don’t really have a good analogy for how this whole thing works.

This is how I see it: Lemmy is like a house party hosted in a huge venue that has hundreds of doors (i.e. instances). The doors have some slight differences (maybe some are huge, some are tiny, some have bouncers, some let you bring your own costumes etc). But for the most part, it doesn’t really matter what door you enter the party through, as all doors open into the same common space.

However, the door you choose does make you physically closer to one cluster of people than the rest of the party. That’s how I see the “local” filter. But if you’re just interested in getting into the party asap, just pick any instance and join.

This still isn’t a perfect analogy though – if a door shuts down, you don’t magically disappear from the party. But if an instance goes down, you do. Still, for the uninitiated, I feel like this is a sensible enough analogy.

I think I’m going to stick to Lemmy and use Reddit only to promote Lemmy. I’ve been created a few new communities here and will plug them to Reddit users.

Sadly not!

Hey! You can also post this to !beatles@sopuli.xyz if you fancy :)

Thanks – especially for the tip about them looking ‘leggy’! Thankfully I’ve got a good windowsill that gets a lot of sun, so I’m hoping they’ll thrive (over the summer, at least).

EDIT: And yep, strangely enough, there are only 3 comments here (6 now, including my replies to each of them), but the text below my post says there’s 20 comments in total…strange?
