Agreed! :lw: It’s such a cute critter!

I enjoy that Mr. Torvalds is referred to as an “emperor penguin.”

That is all.

Followed!

It’s a tough decision.

There’s a target on the collective back of Lemmy, its developers and this instance. Rooting out these issues early is part of it. One of my first recommendations to @ruud@lemmy.world was to start putting aside contribution dollars from donors for a legal fund to manage liabilities like this. This decision is just solid management and avoiding issues well ahead of time.

I wish the admins well. And for those who have had their communities ‘snipped’ from being connected to Lemmy.world, I hear you. It’s hard when you have built a connection and a sense of self on a platform, and then it becomes severed. That’s hard.

I read this article a couple of years ago about the subject. Apparently, one part was ease and rapidity of rolling updates with the likes of Arch, and another part of wanting a bit more experimental nature of Arch versus steady-as-she-goes and stable Debian. It’s a rather neat discussion and debate.

Alright! I picked up a pack, and two extra “Logo World Circles”. I’m looking forward to seeing the graphics I assisted with as stickers, @cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world! Not 100% where I’ll be putting them, but they’ll be placed somewhere…

Oh yeah.

This is going on the fridge…

Exciting to see! Hopefully we start to get some network effects, and start seeing communities pop up from the different parts of the internet.

One of the things I quite like about Lemmy is that a group can host their own community, and for folks who are concerned about what happened at Reddit or otherwise, the fediverse/decentralized model allows them a high degree of control, while at the same time connecting them through an entire network of people to discover them. It’s pretty exciting to see this.

My home server is a Ubuntu install on a 2017 laptop. A lot of guides have been very useful.

I installed several other tools, with Portainer, for a variety of imaged applications. With various containers I installed Jellyfin (for hosting old videos and converted media of mine), Calibre (for a digital library of textbooks from my history degree) and a few other tools. I’ve been half-tempted to host some WordPress sites, but I have yet to figure out nginx…

Ah, it feels like home already.

Ah!

You have two options:

• Patreon
• OpenCollective

I go through Patreon, as I also contribute to a local news site and to the Mastodon developer team (… and so I can snoop in their Discord, which is Patreon only). I believe there is a preference for OpenCollective as a platform of choice.

Calckey has that. And so do other Fediverse alternatives.

It’d be nice to have some flair or a shiny object to showcase contributions to the funding effort. And something really simple would be excellent.

I’m already giving monthly through the Patreon for Lemmy.world / Mastodon.world. So, I’m fairly comfortable!

Agreed. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy being a monthly Patreon to Lemmy.world. Ruud and the admin team post updates to blog.mastodon.world, and through Open Collective highlight their outflows and inflows of cash.

• Blog
• Patreon
• OpenCollective

It’s a best practice for building transparent communities. By sharing information, and showcasing where a person’s donations go, it builds confidence in a team of volunteers by a network. Also, for curious types like me, I can see what’s happening.

As a side benefit, it allows for teams to build resources and establish new projects, like Lemmy.world. Which is excellent.
