Would this feature be useful? (Duplicate URL alerted across communities and servers).


I thought it would be good if making a post with a URL alerted me if the same URL has already been posted to another community/ server. Then it could offer to make the body of my post a comment under that post instead.

What do you think, and do any technical people familiar with Lemmy / Piefed / ActivityPub know if suc h a feature is possible without huge overheads?

This sounds like a breakage in the way that Friendica and Lemmy interact. I'd report it as a bug on both sides, see if you can get folks to work towards figuring out a way to resolve it.

The different Fediverse software implement things in their interpretation and sometimes there's a divide that can be resolved. :)

Hmm, thats a weird one, I'll share with the other maintainers, I don't see any issues with trusting the backups in /exports/ but I would strongly recommend testing them (as I would recommend testing all backups).

It's a huge problem that so many people act like it's super easy and simple. It's incredibly complicated to someone who is not a networking professional.

Glad you solved it yourself, but I'm still struggling to understand what happened, how did you have them all in a single folder if the filename for docker compose has to be one of a few predetermined things? I mean, you could have them all in a single file, which makes some things easier, but then you wouldn't have been able to move them into individual folders. Would you mind explaining what happened there so that if someone else in the future has the same issue they might find the solution here?

Also, note that even if someone had given you an example of a working docker file you would still have to configure the service. For future reference, this site is great and has working examples of docker compose files for a lot of services, e.g. hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/r…

Find two more selfhosters and they will criticize both of us!


Absolutely. However I'd argue that some BSD variant is at the other end, not Gentoo, so there's at least some critics to you ;).

I'm running proxmox and (mostly) Debian on top of that, and I'm sure that there's someone thinking I'm doing things the wrong way.

With Windows Servers I think the bigger problem is that there's way less people running things on top of it, so there's less knowledge about problems and solving them. However, many of us are on corporate IT jobs too and thus have to work with Windows, so that might somewhat cancel out the difference in popularity.

It's a 90's fusion pastiche I wrote two decades ago, and then recorded just recently. The video was made with the MIDITrail program.

I was still trying to learn how to use the tools I used, and you can kind of hear when I "got it" at around 2m40s into the track.
