  • In theory, a copyleft licence should work. The problem however is a) how are you going to find out and b) how are you going to enforce it?

  • I love Mindustry. It's a Factorio-like builder/defence game with stronger emphasis on the RTS/battle aspect.

  • No experience, but friends use Paperless and are happy with it.

  • Ich schliesse mich den bisherigen Ratschlägen an, mit einer kleinen Ergänzung: Ich versuche von verschiedenen Servern Communities zu abonnieren, nicht nur von lemmy.ml, weil wir sonst wieder das zentralisierte Modell kreieren.

  • Das geht so nicht, soweit ich weiss. In diesem Fall besuchst du am besten die Seite selbst. Wenn du bei vlemmy einen Account hast, dann aber exklusiv alle Posts von Feddit anschauen willst, entlastest du Feddit auch nicht wirklich (ein bisschen vielleicht, weil die Feddit-Posts auf vlemmy zwischengespeichert werden - Interaktionen oder Updates müssen dann doch zu Feddit).

    Es spricht aber nichts dagegen, dass Lemmy selbst oder eine Lemmy-App wie Jerboa einen "Local-Filter" implementieren. Wenn du nicht warten kannst, erstellst du am besten auf GitHub ein Issue dazu.

    Persönlich sehe ich den Vorteil nicht so ganz. Such dir von verschiedenen Servern eine Reihe von Communities zusammen, die du abonnieren kannst. Du kannst dich dabei ja zum Beispiel auf deutsche Communities beschränken (falls das ein Bedürfnis ist). Dann hast du in deinem "Abonniert-Feed" die Mischung, die dir gefällt. Ich versuche aktiv, nicht nur Communities von Lemmy.ml oder Feddit.de zu folgen, damit auch kleinere Server etwas belebter werden.

  • I know about I2P for some time now and I really like the pitch, but I never got around of actually trying it sadly.

  • Thanks! It kind of is, I saw it several times the last few days (never noticed before). It's kinda variant of FYI I guess?

  • Hm. Some fantasy stories / books I really enjoyed and recommend are:

    Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Just awesome. The pacing is gentle but a lot higher compared to The Hobbit or The Lord Of The Rings. One of the best fantasy stories I know, I read all the books multiple times. Warning: Don't watch the movie. Just don't.

    The Idhún's Memories by Laura Gallego. I've read them a long time ago, so I don't know if I'd still enjoy them that much, but I've great memories.

    I didn't read The Name Of The Wind yet, but it was recommended to me multiple times as THE best book.

    If you don't mind science-fiction, I also would recommend Children Of Time by Adrian Tchaikovski.

    Side note: Fantasy is quite a heavy genre if you're not really into reading yet. Often the good books are large, which makes it harder to finish in a reasonable time. General tipp: try to read one hour a day. This creates a habit and you will soon read a lot faster, which makes it a lot easier to just grind through a book as if it was nothing. Also try different genres, maybe one doesn't sound appealing, but you would enjoy it anyway.

  • Off-topic question: what does “PSA” stand for?

  • A network of (“thousands of”) servers has — like most things — pros and cons.

    Some of the pros are:

    • The network is more resiliant against outages. If lemmy.ml is down, all other users can still access the network.
    • It's hard to take legal action against the network or to buy it out (like Big Players™ like to do to get rid of potential competitors).
    • It allows various similar or even conflicting moderation policies. The network, i.e. the infrastructure doesn't allow or prohibit any specific opinion (the communities do).
    • It allows for different ways to pay the bills: goodwill of the admin, donaitions, ads, fee or selfhosting. The latter also allows great control over the data so you control your privacy.

    Some of the cons are:

    • Content is replicated across servers, which increases the total amount of data stored.
    • Latency and speed suffer.
    • Interoperability with the wider Fediverse is less than 100%, which can create confusion and frustration.
    • Discovery is more difficult.

  • I really like Stremio. It doesn't notify you, but (with the right add-ons) there's a huge catalogue that's updated regularly. It includes even a calendar which displays the upcoming episodes of series you added to your library.

  • I think you need to subscribe (from your instance) to the community first or did you do that already?

    Then you should be able to select the comminity when creating a new post.

    I want SSO in the Fediverse too. Each instance should include an identity server which can be used to sign in to other instances (if they don't block you). That would be awesome.

  • I'm not one of the new users but I'm happy because the Lemmyverse feels much more alive now compared to a year ago. ☺️

  • Also Gitea is working on federation support using ActivityPub.

  • I agree that mentioning them is not helpful if the question explicitly is about WhatsApp vs. Telegram. However, Signal surely is simple enough that it can be used by anyone capable of using WhatsApp. It free, encrypted and a lot more trustworthy than any F**book app ever will be.
