Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

  • Ditched Reddit, never looked back. It's waaaaay better here. Even running my own instance because why not? :)

    • Has vlemmy.net lost its domain name?

    Jump

  • That is why I did it! Not only for, let’s say, a service that stops, but also for the case where an Admin would decide to go in a direction I don’t want to go.

    • Is there any way to search for communities across all Lemmy instances?

  • Stupid question incoming: How do you know that the bot is working? What results are there?

  • Oh! Now it is running, I think. Should I just leave it on, or put it on for a few hours per day? or just once for a few hours?

    sorry for the wall of questions! overly enthusiastic about Lemmy and the community that makes it great!

  • I'm getting this error from the docker container when I try to do the initial run:

  • If lemm.ee allows federation, you can basically do it from within the lemm.ee instance. You should be able to discover and communicate as for a lemmy post.

    However, I'm not a Mastodon user, so I have not tried it.

    What I do know is that you can't surf to a mastodon server (eg. https://mastodon-belgium.be/home), and log in with your lemm.ee account. You need to get lemm.ee to federate with the specific mastodon server. So not sure how to do that for Mastodon. For kbin you can do the same things as community's, but they are called differently on kbin.

    No expert, YMMV.

  • Tried it, failed to get it running! Do you have a place where I can ask for assistance? A "home" post or a specific community for it? By any chance? :)

  • So, that works in a funny way, and this is one of the quirks that belong to the current state of the fediverse. I see you are on lemmy.world, so you should not be impacted that much by it, but still... Let me explain.

    You can easily search for all communities in lemmy.world (your "home" instance) by switching the toggle in your search screen. By default, you can't search for communities on other instances, UNLESS someone on lemmy.world has already done so (or, I'm not sure about this one, is subscribed to that community). If you do so, lemmy.world will federate with that community and keep it "in the loop".

    If you should stumble on a community that you want to subscribe to, but it is not yet federated by lemmy.world, you can just use !communityname@instancename.ltd to search for it. The search takes some time, or you need to try a second time. If you subscribe, that community will be federated with your home server.

    Not that big of a deal for instances like lemmy.world as I said, but a bigger thing for small instances (like my own).
