Oh man. If I could find a way to stop the phishing emails, I would absolutely love it.

No idea why exchange consistently lets through emails asking to change exchange passwords? Surely they would be the easiest to seperate out

Peertube?

Decentralised. Federated. activity pub. Self Hosted. Open source.

Lemmy is a federated social network, similar to Mastodon, where anyone can create and run their own instance. This means it's not centrally controlled by one entity. The reasons for having many instances include:

1. Decentralization: This reduces the power of any single entity over the entire network and prevents any central point of failure. If one instance goes down, others are unaffected. This design also helps resist censorship because content moderation is handled individually by each instance.

2. Community autonomy: Each instance can form its own unique community with its own rules and norms. This can promote diversity of thought and freedom of expression, as different communities can have different standards and policies.

3. Privacy and security: Having separate instances can provide a higher degree of privacy and security. The admin of an instance only has access to data from their instance, not the entire network.

Regarding the concern of popular instances becoming like Reddit, it's worth noting that decentralization inherently provides a counterbalance. If an instance becomes too dominant or its policies become unpopular, users can migrate to or create a new instance. In the end, the federated nature of Lemmy allows for a much more democratic and user-driven online community.

I still appreciate the love ✌️💛

Damn. I may need to buy a couple

Just a barrier many won’t cross.

Most can detect traffic. Content itself, I do t know. Certainly some can.

Probably will remove you. Ban you. And pass on any data they may have to authorities.

It’s the main reason I don’t do it. Even if it’s extremely unlikely.

That’s what my homelab is for. But even then, it has its own problems.

Plex is preinstalled on most smart tvs’s. And in ones with very limited app stores.

Also easy for others to make their own plex account, and you just give access to that user through the UI.

jellyfin requires more on the client side. Beyond what my mum can do on her own.

Plex for sharing with others. Jellyfin for personal use only.

Yes. Because there’s no centralised list of communities, searching is extremely difficult. Or if not, very time consuming. Following every iteration of every node.

I’m not sure how that can be overcome.

I’m hosting one right now. Lemmyunchained.net

But in will have to Limit Users at some point.

I dont Think people properly understand they can be on any server. And join multiple communities. And it all Show up in their Feed. They don’t Need to worry about “which community has the Most Users”

1. Check Permissions: First, make sure that you have the right permissions to edit the lemmy.hjson file. You may need to use a command like sudo to edit it if you’re on a Unix-based system.

2. Save and Restart: Once you’ve edited the lemmy.hjson file, ensure that the changes are saved correctly, and then restart the Lemmy service for the changes to take effect. You can do this via the YunoHost admin interface, or using a command like systemctl restart lemmy on the command line.

3. SMTP Server: Double-check your SMTP server settings. These typically include the server’s address, the port number (often 465 for SSL or 587 for TLS), and your login credentials.

4. Email Verification: Lemmy requires a working SMTP setup for email verification during user sign up. If there’s an error with the SMTP setup, you’ll see an “email_send_failed” error.

5. Test SMTP: You mentioned that you’ve already tested the SMTP server with swaks and it’s working. That’s great! If you’re not seeing those settings reflected in the Lemmy admin interface though, the changes might not be taking effect.

6. SMTP Relay: If your SMTP server requires a relay, make sure you have configured it correctly. You said you’re using “brevo” as a relay. If “brevo” is the relay server, it should also be mentioned in your SMTP settings in lemmy.hjson.

7. Logs: Check the logs for any error messages. You can typically find these in a location like /var/log/lemmy/, though it may vary based on your installation.

Without logs, I can’t say much more. Sorry.
