Reddit has millions of active users.
It might be a little more complicated than normal social media and email but it definitely is not that complex.
the few who join will leave because of the steep learning curve.
what steep learning curve? what’s so steep about thinking of social media like email?
Upon more investigation, it seems more like caddy indeed can’t. The only reason it works is because I directly point the A record to the VPS’s IP.
Afaik you can reverse proxy the ssh connection. I’ve been connecting to my server using the domain and tld (asudox.dev)
Why would they need to understand? Just tell them that it’s needed to play on the server and set it up for them. Whenever they want to play, they can use the VPN.
You should isolate it. Use Docker or Podman or any container solution to put the server in a container for isolation from the main system. Any external directory outside the container the server won’t write to should be in read only mode.
If the server is only for your friends. Stop exposing your network to the public and instead use VPNs.

You’ll be fine. As long as the wires don’t touch each other or get connected via some conductive liquid (e.g. water), nothing should happen. Cover it with something like electrical tape or some plastic cover for outlets just to be safe.
Ventoy with Arch and Rescue bootable images. And a portable cross platform encryption tool just in case.
They are different platforms, so you can’t. If you remove ActivityPub from one Lemmy instance (or server), it would be just one centralized Reddit clone. What makes them special is that every public activity (like, comment, post, etc.) are all sent to other servers in the whitelist. This causes the other instances to also have the same content (copy), making the fediverse possible. Just because you can comment on your instance and that being displayed on some Mastodon instance does not mean you have another account there. Your comment was simply copied to that other Mastodon instance using the ActivityPub protocol.
If you want this so you can claim your comments, posts, likes, etc. on other federated platforms (e.g. Lemmy -> Mastodon), you can look into DIDs. DIDs allow users to have Decentralized IDentifiers. Which means the identity that your content are linked to is not locked into one instance. You can log in with your DID(s) anywhere that supports them.
The thing is that DIDs are still being discussed (or had been discussed) to decide how it would be implemented into ActivityPub. Bluesky, for example, uses DIDs. Which is why you can claim the ownership of your content from one instance on another. Do note that Bluesky does not use ActivityPub, but their own protocol called the AT protocol (which, in my opinion, just exists because they want to be different).
You don’t expect us to literally review and find the issues of the whole code, do you? More context, please.
Is the last one real? Has any sane dev made something like that monstrosity? It’s not like the others are any better, but who would ever think of doing the last one and why?
Cool, I guess? Alternative to the official book. They also provide a schedule for you, lol.
It would possibly be enshittified like others. The whole purpose of decentralization would be broken and it would become one single centralized website.
This is why I advise people to lead people to other instances than lemmy.world. That instance is getting too big and the other instances aren’t. We instead should balance the user count in all instances. And possibly finish the implementation to own content in a decentralized fashion using DIDs. That will need something like the blockchain though, so perhaps we could also have a fediverse coin as a bonus? lol
Can’t really defend CF. They are known to fuck with customers, break their promises and are not good for privacy.
If you don’t like the “extra nonsense”, how about you stop using Google products? Namely Chrome and Google?
Arch linux user here. Gaming totally works. Sometimes even better than Windows when playing native games. Even Proton works good most of the time. Sometimes I play Brawlhalla with Proton Experimental and it runs better and less laggy in Linux than Windows despite Windows having a native build. Check ProtonDB to find out how well games work on Linux. Linux gamers review games there.
Thanks to Valve, the Steam Deck is getting Linux popular and basically makes devs build their games for Linux as well.
