Good luck with setting up Lemmy! Their documentation is terrible and the docker-compose.yml files are not fit for purpose. Then if you already have Nginx as a reverse proxy setup (as I do), then if just seems to get worse. If I get time I'll write up and publish my understanding and config.

That's about what I concluded too. I do wonder if the fediverse grows to tens / hundreds of millions of users, just how scalable the networking will be - and how susceptible to DDOS. I haven't a detailed understanding of the communication protocols, I've just noticed a reasonable amount of traffic in the log files of my single user Lemmy instance.

These were queries coming out of the Friendica instance and hitting my DNS and then being forwarded to upstream. I don't think I can control the TTL on that

I tried it but reverted back to KeePass. I didn't see any advantage with Vaultwarden and having it exposed so brazenly didn't fill me with confidence. When I tried to run in parallel I found that you can't sync vault warden with a keepass DB file. You can import it, but once it's imported you can't keep them in sync. Re-do an import and you end up with everything duplicated - but updated entries... which is the up to date one? If it had better syncing I could see myself using keepass on mobile and vaultwarden on PC. But at the end KeePass is just brilliant as it is and that's fine with me.

I use Infinity and have found it to be absolutely excellent. I wish I could continue to use it rather than leave altogether.

I tried Vault warden, but I didn't find it better than KeePass which I have syncing over nextcloud to storage that is mounted over NFS for my desktop and laptop. There are plenty of clients so you can use windows, linux, android etc.

Turns out I can't upload photos due to the config file they point you at being wrong. Ffs! Direct users to a labelled release and production version. At the moment it's chaos at the very time it needs to be as seemless as possible.

Having options is good. The difference between /r/guitar and /r/guitars was insane because if the people in charge. But different strokes for different folks.

This is a good idea and doesn't even sound very difficult for a clever person

It seems I've been missing out and I have a few more services to stand up over the weekend and try out. It's been refreshing this week avoiding reddit.

The docker documentation is not kept in sync with the docker-compose.yml it asks you to use. So you download the latest one as per instructions, but that's being regularly updated with no thought to the documentation also being updated. It's also doesn't seem aimed at production deployment, just developer test environments. Then there are stupid simple things like the port number being changed in the docker-compose.yml but not in the nginx.conf or the lemmy.hjson. There desperately needs to be better control of that.

There is a lot wrong there and it doesn't fill me with confidence. It took me 3 hours to piece it all together last night and had to revert to picking bits out of the ansible documentation.
