I don’t think people liked the idea lol.

I actually liked kbin/mbin. I used it before moving to Lemmy. I just can’t code in PHP (and I have had some trauma using it while doing internship)

The things redditors mentioned are very good already. Primarily screenshots. Please, please always add screenshots to let me have a general idea of the UI.

I’ve read this mentioned many times. Is it really that bad XD

Gonna go out-of-topic from the post but I need this to get this off my chest:

Do you know what prompted me to contribute to PieFed’s code?

Recently, a developer of Lemmy straight up posted a link to a website to a China propaganda in a community in my Lemmy instance. Yes, a propaganda.

Tbf, slrpnk.net receives a lot of China-related posts, and that’s due to China out-competing other countries in many sectors (EV, for example), and in those post OP usually critical enough to acknowledge that while China achievement is good, the crimes Chinese government has done shouldn’t be ignored.

But the post is different. From the domain name, the “About Us” section of the website, the bias in the article. Clearly this was posted with an ill intention. A developer of a platform uses the platform to spread propaganda. Disgusting

I downvoted said post, but I hesitated to call it out. Because, I’m gonna be honest–I’m genuinely scared of interacting with those kind of people. And I don’t want to have a deep discussion about politics or propaganda anyway. I’m not that kind of person.

This made me realize, I also don’t tell people I use fediverse or don’t reach out to other forums to open a community in Lemmy. This is because the fediverse, or at least Lemmy have a bad reputation: tankie.

There is a saying in my country that says “One person ate jackfruit, everyone got the sap”. The genocide deniers ate the jackfruit, and everyone got the sap. The genocide deniers ruined fediverse’s name and everyone else got the consequence. I don’t wanna recommend people to use softwares made by those terrible people, and I doubt most people want to use softwares that has a reputation of being a genocide deniers playgrounds.

Honestly OP from the link in the post (https://feddit.org/post/4920887) kind of made a good point.

At this point, I would prefer just quitting Lemmy altogether.

But I remembered, the fediverse is an open source effort. I use open source software a lot. I feel like I need to give back something. And I have a community that still needed moderating.

And recently I found PieFed that is still in early days but show some great promise. I happen to understand HTMX (I use it in my personal projects) and Python (I learned it way back in junior high). Seems perfect to me, so I contributed one.

Honestly, it feels kinda unfair to me that software made by a genocide deniers gets the funding, meanwhile a software made by a good person (PieFed) has to be a hobby project.

You know what, disregard my previous comments and try creating the community. I’m willing to give some benefit of the doubt.

What I’m kinda worried is the exact same kind of user mention in the post will post on the community. And I also have visited subreddit that calls out bad users in reddit in the past (like r/redditmoment for example) and I kinda don’t like it, because to me it’s kind of a waste of time. Probably a personal preference.

But if it calls out/exposes bad users in the community, probably good. Probably

@OpenStars@piefed.social because I’m not sure if PieFed can already mention user lol

Syncthing is one of the best software I used. I use it to sync my notes.

separate the data-directory from the appdata-directory

Would you mind explaining more about this?

To me, good documentation is the number one thing that makes a selfhostable application good.

I agree. If you don’t mind: what are your qualifications for good documentation? Do you have some good examples of good docs?

A lot of stuff tend to end up trying to be too easy and you can’t scale up, or stuff so unbelievably complicated you can’t scale it down.

I see, it’s probably good to have some balance between those. Noted

No, I don’t want a second container for a database.

Unless you’re talking about using SQLite:

Isn’t the point of Docker container is to only have one software/process running? I’m sure you can use something like s6 or other lightweight supervisor, but I feel like that’s seems counterintuitive?

Crumb is GOAT

Locket is my favorite EP from them

Ahh found one. Interesting name

(already had a feeling that someone will say this)

I won’t delete my posts/comments because I want to be helpful, that’s it.

But if I prefer deleting my posts/comments, I will archive it instead.

I respect what r/ArtFundamentals did, and it should be an example: After reddit’s APIpocalypse, they don’t support reddit and decided to close the subreddit. But the advices from the subreddit wasn’t gone–in fact they actually archive it in their own website:

https://drawabox.com/r/artfundamentals/

That’s why when I left reddit I don’t delete my posts (even if those posts suck)

Bonus:

Is it true that you actually have to add a parking space as a building owner in US? lol
