overview for stown

I'm looking to try self-hosting an XMPP server for my family to use as a secure communication platform. I realize that end2end encryption with XMPP doesn't seem as strong as something like Matrix but my self-hosted Matrix server has been very unreliable.

I'm looking for recommendations and resources. I'v considered running Prosody and Openfire but both of them look like a pretty involved installation process with plenty of room to fuck up. Does anyone know of something similar to matrix-ansible-install for an XMPP server? Should I be looking at something besides Prosody or Openfire?

Please, no YouTube tutorials. I prefer written instructions.

It is hilarious to me how this guy thinks he is entitled to have advertisers on his platform. I don't understand why he thinks he can coerce them back with insults and claiming they will bankrupt his company. Why do they have any responsibility to save your rotten company? Delusional!

Let me tell you too.

But seriously, I'm sick of these stupid headlines. Write an article when you know the details not when you are speculating on them. There is nothing new here.

This doesn't even feel like an article - more like one long advertisement. The second paragraph of the article launches into a review of the "Erect Horse Penis - Concept LoRA"

Mark Post as Read? (sedd.it)

Is there currently a way on Lemmy-ui to mark a post as "read" so that it no longer shows up in the feed? As the admin of my personal server I know I can remove the post but I'm looking for a solution that doesn't affect others on my instance. I see a setting for hiding read posts but I don't see a way to mark a post as being read.

I hope I put the correct amount of eyes on in the morning. by stown in c/memes@lemmy.ml

If you are updating Lemmy to version 0.18.0 you may want to be aware of this bug that exists with site icons. It will break your site.

Lemmy behind 2 Proxies (sedd.it)

Just wanted to know if I should expect any issues with this set-up. 1st proxy is NGINX on the host machine (Ansible-setup). 2nd proxy is NGINX on OPNsense. I'm using self signed certs on the host machine because I don't want port 80 left open. OPNsense ACME plugin manages my certificates.

I've noticed that a lot of comments do not get pulled with posts. Also, I am unable to log in to my server with Jerboa.

Does lemmy use port 80 for anything besides getting SSL certs? Will the double proxy screw up federation or my ability to log in through 3rd party solutions?
