my biggest tip is that if you’re on ios get wefef. great app that makes the lemmy experience beautiful and seamless.

when you read a comment from c/all from a community you want to join you can click on the community c/link to see all the posts from that community.

then use the three dots in the app at the top right to subscribe. soooo much easier than trying to search for a community from the web ux.

and i guess the other tip is to just manage your expectations - reddit wasn’t built in a day and it’ll take a while for all of our niche communities to create new homes here 🥰

hi and welcome! i’m 1 month old here and also love it. great community, good conversation abd spez is slowly fading into the rear view mirror little by little each day.

really nice! may i please ask what printer you’re using and whether you’d recommend it?

welcome to you and everyone else coming over! looking forward to great shenanigans.

The movie citizen four did an excellent job detailing different ways a government (in this case the united states) can do this.

shower thoughts… and still on my first cup of coffee to more just musing than anything …

if storage is the concern wonder if the lemmy roadmap might one day include an option to use cloud based storage?

azure storage at .06/gb per month is likely cheaper and more redundant than local storage - even if you factor in calls to the blob which could be lowered via caching.

cloud storage potentially might one day lead to a option for smaller self hosters to opt into a shared blob instance where the and cost is shared.

in this scenario security to ensure the cloud blob couldn’t be deleted would need to be thought through (maybe splitting the password among multiple admins with each having one part of the whole?) but might be one way to better encourage more self hosting for them compute side of things.
