Collections is exactly what I’d love to see added to lemmy. Especially if the collections has the ability to filter out posts cross posed to different communities.

They don’t even need to win the case. They just need to bully the smaller person until they go bankrupt and shut down.

That doesn’t stop the media industry.

There was a conversation the other day on this, but I forget the exact details.

Open sign up is nothing is required to let you sign up.

Closed is obviously invite only/manually must be accepted.

But there’s the middle ground that wasn’t technically open sign up, where the only requirements are filling out a captcha, and usually email verification.

But how is that a benefit to the user? Instead of one large user base there’s a bunch of tiny ones scattered about fracturing the community and inhibiting growth.

Niche communities that existed on Reddit I doubt will ever exist here, at least anywhere near the user base as they had in Reddit before it went to shit.

I wish more developers would do QA. After working with QA my code improved so much because I was proactively thinking about how things might break or potential issues that I never would have thought of.

That’s kind of the crux of a lot of these things. The instructions make it look really simple to install, but if you’ve never done this before then I could understand it being confusing. There was this teeny tiny line in the middle of some pictures that says someone will help you set them up I think.

More notably, Radio Free Fedi has been incredibly proactive, offering a free service to help Fedi musicians host their own Faircamp sites on RadioFreeFedi’s infrastructure.

It looks like you just ask them for help and send them some of your songs and they’ll handle the setup.

I’d probably suggest having a dedicated machine. You don’t need anything fancy, I’d imagine any old laptop should do.

It’s essentially software to convert your machine into a basic web server, so if the laptop disconnects now nobody can download your stuff. And I assume you don’t keep your laptop on 24/7

Yes.
