It’s certainly a nice app, but I’ve also grown attached to Connect over these last few weeks. I even donated to the dev, which is something my stingy ass never does.
While I loved Sync, I’m not paying $20/yr for any social media. If I recall, Sync Pro for Reddit was something like $5-6 lifetime. I’d pay that again without blinking an eye.
I like it when someone favorites my post. 🤷 I’m not out to be some hype-beast on Mastodon.
To me, a favorite = “I like that.”
And a Boost = “yo, check this out.”
The devs can say what they want about them.
Note that Plex is against Cloudflare’s ToS. No guarantee they will terminate your account, but it’s a risk.
Could also consider Tailscale.
I’m happy with my RP3+. Surprisingly, I mostly use it to stream PC & PS5 games.
But the retro games are all there when I decide to quit playing Yakuza Kiwami…
They sent me an email saying my account was idle (an always on Wireguard for Plex).
I converted to the Pay As You Go plan, and I was good. And it was still free.
My work uses zScaler for its Internet web filters. zScaler has everything *.ml blocked.
So yeah, it’s fairly well-known to be sketchy.
Just looking at my list of subscribed communities… There are a lot on lemmy.ml.
They’re toast if Mali yoinks the domain name.
This seems really, really bad for Lemmy…
Right. This will basically make nearly every /c live in .world as all of the .ml /c’s go defunct. That, or Beehaw, which is walled off from everyone else.
(Side note… my work’s firewalls block everything *.ml – and that’s the only thing that saved me from creating my account there)
Ew. I bet it’s filled with nerds. Like me.
(Also, my wife probably wouldn’t be thrilled if I used this.)
EDIT: Dang it, Lemmy. This post is 2 years old.
I also bailed on mas.to, and made my own single-user instance…
Extremely minor request…
Much better. Though I’d even say the target could be bigger yet.
About one-third of the time, I still miss, which just opens the post.
Probably why they’re sending out emails right now saying they’re transitioning to mandatory 2FA…
Currently on Beta 89. Liking the restyle on posts. But I think the targets on the upvote / downvote buttons need to be about 200% bigger. Spent way too much time trying (and failing) to upvote a post this morning.
In order for your server to find hashtags to match, someone on your server needs to follow the person who posted the hashtag. That’s typically how it gets pulled into your Federation feed. That can be tough on your own personal server.
You can fix that with relays. Rather than subscribe to a massive generic relay that adds hundreds of servers’ posts to my own server, I use https://relay.fedi.buzz
There, I created dozens of hashtag-based relays. I made a relay for every hashtag I want in my own feeds. And then I also made slightly broader-topic relays – or topics I only want to browse sometimes – to add more stuff to my Federation feed when I was bored.
I just finished migrating over to your instance from lemmy.world. I’m liking what I see. Everything seems nice & snappy. (One suggestion: consider turning on email verification to shut down potential bot accounts a bit more thoroughly)
It takes a bit more effort to setup your subscribed /c’s on a smaller instance (if you’re the first on the instance to sub to a /c, you need to already know the address for it). But once you’re subbed to everything you want, it’s business as usual. And without constant downtimes!
