Can you self-host, or are you looking for another online service? Facebook Groups is basically a forum when it comes down to it, and any forum software can do what you’re asking. I really like Discourse. You can self-host it for free (well, whatever your server costs), they’ll host it for free if you’re an open-source project, or if you’re a legal non-profit you can get 50% off their hosting for $25-50/month.

When doing an outdoor activity, I would allow my precise location on a run.

It is well-known now that anonymizing location data still does not preserve privacy: https://iapp.org/news/a/getting-lost-in-the-crowd-the-limits-of-privacy-in-location-data-2/

Hi @a1tb1t@lemmy.one~ I’m the admin of lemmy.one (I know you also messaged me on Reddit). The specs for this server are roughly double the specs of lemmy.ml’s server, except we’re ~10x smaller than lemmy.ml at the moment, so we have lots of room for growth. I run mstdn.party which is one of the top 40 largest Mastodon servers according to the-federation.info, and I’m prepared to scale this community as well. If you want your community hosted on this instance, I’m happy to get that set up for you, we can talk further on Reddit.

If you’re considering running your own Lemmy server instead, it is not particularly resource-intensive, I would imagine you could host up to ~1000 monthly active users on a server that costs no more than $30/month. I’m happy to invite you to some Lemmy admin communities who can provide assistance as well if you’re interested in going that route.

The biggest problem to me is what I just saw you post in another reply, that these models built upon our knowledge exist almost solely within proprietary ecosystems.

and maybe even our Mastodon or Lemmy posts!

The Washington Post published a great piece which allows you to search which websites were included in the “C4” dataset published in 2019. I searched for my personal blog jonaharagon.com and sure enough it was included, and the C4 dataset is practically minuscule compared to what is being compiled for larger models like ChatGPT. If my tiny website was included, Mastodon and Lemmy posts (which are actually very visible and SEO optimized tbh) are 100% being scraped as well, there’s no maybe about it.

Lots of people here with the opposite opinion of me, which is that I like the website and not the mobile apps, but overall yeah I’m pretty convinced this format is probably the best poised alternative to replace Reddit for a lot of people. Maybe not everybody, but I am willing to “settle” for quality over quantity ;)

I would describe Apollo as an accessibility app in the sense that the regular Reddit app is unusable.

The only problem is that if your instance doesn’t know about that community yet, it’ll just 404, you still have to search for it first because visiting the link doesn’t make your instance fetch the community yet.

This should still be the default behavior when it autofills a community link though, I hope they make this change 👍

Actually fulfilling campaign promises? This has no place in American politics! /s

How/which URL should we link to then?

My (somewhat) hot take is that large migrating subreddits should probably host their own communities, which is what we did when we told people on r/PrivacyGuides to move to Lemmy. Or at the very least, actually coordinate with instance admins beforehand about all of this, clearly lemmy.ml isn’t the ideal choice for this situation.

My guess is that Reddit is alluding to the stupid suggestion of “just make your app more efficient with requests bro” (paraphrasing) that I saw an admin make. Reddit’s already said they’re not open to negotiations.

The Apollo dev (/u/iamthatis) estimated that the new pricing would cost him $20m per year. I raised this with Reddit – they said that his calculations were “totally wrong”, but they were unable to discuss why. Given that the Apollo dev literally just multiplied the cost by the number of requests, I have trouble seeing how this could be wrong.

lol

I don’t see why you couldn’t just get a wildcard certificate that doesn’t include any hostnames, if you handle your traffic on a single Caddy reverse proxy anyways.

“The content” on all Lemmy instances is the same. There is no account migration, but you can just sign up on lemmy.ml. If you already had an account there and you want it back… I don’t know if it’s possible for an admin there to restore it, you might have to get in touch with them.

Yep, for things you host absolutely. However, P2P applications (e.g. torrent clients) are still going to be negatively affected by this.

“At Gen Z’s age, older people worked 40 hours a week, and made enough money to buy a house and have barbecues on the weekend,” says Corey Seemiller, an educator, researcher and TEDx speaker on Gen Z. “Gen Z works 50 hours a week at their jobs, and another 20 hours a week side hustling, yet still make barely enough to cover rent.”

Not sure how they wrote a whole article that basically just says this same idea they quoted at the beginning with a lot more words. Gen Z’s money troubles are very easy to comprehend lol

It’s not a configurable option. Maybe with a custom interface change, but I’m not convinced that making changes to Lemmy.one that remote users don’t experience is the best move.

Just my password manager and uBlock Origin :)
