A wiki is probably what you want. I was going to suggest tvtropes, which is great for, say, a list of every superhero with X-ray vision, or every work of fiction containing dwarves, but I'm not sure that fits what you want.

I just checked this out. It's not quite what I'm looking for right now but it does answer my question as asked. I can see it coming in handy later.

At the time of the OP I was testing federating two nodeBB instances. ActivityPub requires HTTPS AFAIK.

Upvote for the Dark Crystal reference.

Tiny furry human! The adults are quite striking as well.

I searched for “monkeys” and this is the first post across all the instances I have access to that’s just a nice picture of a monkey and not a rant about NFTs or similar.

I find it interesting that there's a mix of commenters complaining that Reddit is at opposite ends of the political spectrum.

I was on Reddit from mid 2012 to mid 2023, across a few accounts and with a hiatus of a few months here and there. I had been passively looking at less centralized forms of personal interaction on the web, trying to find traditional forums to replace the subs I frequented. Like a lot of people here, the API issues and the news of Reddit courting investors left a bad taste in my mouth.

I deleted my account, but I still lurk on a few subs, and my IT job means I have to dig through reddit posts on a regular basis for troubleshooting purposes.

I'm attempting to run a NodeBB forum. I'm only assuming that web sockets was the issue because the first search result I came up with that matched my symptoms mentioned it.

Cool. Follow up question: Do I generate the cert once and distribute the same private key to all the servers I'm running? I'm guessing not, but does that mean I run the certbot command on every server?

I looked up Cloudflare tunnels and tried setting one up. Some things future readers may want to know:

1. You have to set Cloudflare as your domain's authoritative nameservers.
2. You need to set up an account (not a problem) but also have to register a payment method, even for the free tier (no me gusta).
3. Regarding NodeBB specifically, if you set up a tunnel, you can access the forum, even over HTTPS, but it fails when you try to log in. A few minutes of searching leads me to believe it has something to do with web sockets, and the solution requires you to partially expose your IP address, defeating the principle purpose for me to use cloudflare in the first place.

Also, remote printing and monitoring are nice features, which would be a pity to lose.

I don't see an easy way to accomplish this independent of Bambu's servers, especially if you use the handy app on your phone.

Slightly harder: add exceptions for bambus servers in your routers firewall so that requests to that domain are blocked

I assigned a static IP address to my A1 mini in my router, and made a firewall rule preventing all traffic originating from that IP from going to the internet. The printer is also in LAN only mode, but I periodically have to reconnect it to Bambu studio which is annoying.

I thought they were sold in the US now with some slight modifications to comply with the law? I know I've seen Kinder eggs in my local grocery store.

But yes, the ban is due to a perfectly sensible law having a bizarre edge case.

It's also why king cakes don't have the little baby figurines in them I believe.

On Lemmy you can see (and search) a list of all the activity from every instance federated to your home instance. Looking at Ibis, which a few posters have mentioned on this thread, it has a discover page with a list of federated instances and articles on those instances. The current format is hardly scalable, but it's a start.

But, as I said before, the issue is less about discoverability and more about editing. Just like I can post in this thread even though I'm on a different instance, you can edit an article on one instance even though you're on another. The alternative as used by Wikipedia, is to allow anyone, account or not, to edit. Requiring someone to have an account on a federated instance would mitigate a fair amount of spam and ease moderation.

In addition to discoverability, I'd say it provides a happy medium between letting every rando with an IP address edit a page and requiring account creation. Part of the point of the fediverse is to have (almost) everything in one place under a single account while still keeping things decentralized.

I wouldn't doubt it, though MW seems hard to manage.

This looks interesting.

Seems like it's still early days yet, but are there plans to add things like namespaces and categories?

I'm not thinking of a single distributed wiki, but something more like Fandom where you can edit pages on other wikis that are federated to yours.

Easy hosting isn't quite the issue. Dokuwiki is trivial to self host. What I'd like something that's a happy medium between requiring account creation to edit pages and letting literally every rando with an IP address go to town.
