What's wrong with the hand?

KeepassXC. I like to keep things in a physical file. It also supports key files

And how would for example "mastodon.social" learn about my instance and show my toots to their users? Should someone from "mastodon.social" to search for me explicitly?

Thanks for a detailed explanation

So I have set up my own Mastodon instance and it's empty. What should I do to fill up my instance with content? And how do I do that other users of Mastodon on other instances see my "tweets" on my instance?

Hello everyone! Recently I have removed a couple of bot users from my Lemmy instance via DB query (I removed them from person table). Those bots were subscribing to hundreds of communities on other instances which I don't really want to spend resources on fetching new posts and updates.

I have purged those communities from my instance but they keep reappearing. As far as I can tell, this happens because other instances still "think" that users from my instance (bots, which don't exist already) are still subscribed, and therefore send updates to my instance.

How can I completely get rid of those communities?

There have appeared hundreds of communities on my instance I have never searched. Where do they come from? Is it some spam attack? How do I prevent this, and how do I get rid of them?

Not really. I'm more of a XMPP user. And I think Lemmy could have a separate field for XMPP also instead of only having one for Matrix. XMPP's good

I use Manjaro ARM on my Orange PI because I couldn't get Arch ARM to work on it, while Manjaro has support of my devices out of the box. Since I installed a minimal possible version (without any DE), it doesn't feel bloated or something. It feels like I'm using Arch but with slower updates. Overall, it's good and I don't notice much difference from Arch. But anyway, I haven't tried it for a desktop station.

And also saves trees

I see. Thank you for such a detailed explanation :)

Hello, OP. I'm currently using Orange PI 3 LTS as my home server and this thing is even less commonly known and less supported than Raspberry. I have spent couple of days trying to make Arch ARM work on this board but at the end I gave up and installed Manjaro ARM which is basically Arch with some of stuff preinstalled (but not too much in the minimal edition). It was super easy to install and run, and now I happily use my Orange PI with Arch-based distro. Maybe you also can give it a try

That might fit my needs. Could you explain in more details please?

Is it possible to change lemmy's domain after I have already started it once and produced some content? I am thinking of moving to a subdomain but I'm not sure if it will go smoothly

[-] pinkolik@random-hero.com 1 points 1 year ago

You have at least one from my instance haha

[-] pinkolik@random-hero.com 2 points 1 year ago

That was my mistake when I tried to host literally everything on an Orange PI which has only 2 GB of RAM
