Good read, gives me a lot of hope for this project.

I look forward to an exciting future with all of you.

(Also- hopefully this wasn't posted already)

How many people were turned away by the whole tankie thing I wonder..hmmm

Imagine hearing some vague bs and making a distinct and principaled opinion about an entire universe of information.

Even if they are some flavor of doo doo, we take it, and make it what we want. I just don't see the point in outright noping. At least in this instance.

If people really care there's also kbin, which is the same content just with a different (imo better) UI.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I just happened to get on lemmy at first. It was largely coincidence. Perhaps I'll try kbin, but this working how I need. I'm not real picky. I just like to write comments tbh.

I wish it was easier to setup an instance and manage it

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed, it's an absolute nightmare to get up and running.

I messed with it for a few hours later.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did you ever get it up. I tried both the docker and vps methods on both Debian and Ubuntu. Never could get it to connect.

Part of it is some of my unfamiliarity with some of the tools and their purpose (namely redis and rabbitmq). But all I got was 500 errors and when looking at service logs, everything was clean.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I tried both, with fresh vms.

No dice. Lemmy has been working good, so, I stuck with it.

I wanna mess around and see if I can build a blazer front end for it. With web assembly

Mentioned up above, but there is a pull request that will make docker deployment much easier. It will move all setup into env variables and use precompiled images.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you are talking about these, I believe i ran through them as well. But honestly I was redeploying my VPS and ansible configs so quick I could have messed something up.

I may give it another go as well.

Jerry of infosec.exchange was saying there were some bigger issues with the code as well.

Yeah 143. It will also replace caddy with nginx, which on its own should be an improvement.
I don't know what's up with fedia, as far as I know his system is massive, like many times the resources of kbin.social.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm a pretty left-wing guy myself but I just like the kbin interface more. I think it's really cool how this stuff all works together. That's the real dream of communism!
