I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)

I love it, little guy looks mildly sleepy 😄
I’d love a high quality photo of that mountain eye 😄
It seems to be one person that’s doing it manually across a number of communities?


They must have been editing the article back and forth. I also only saw “WebRender Layer Compositor”, but it’s organized nicely now


I think you replied to the wrong comment


You mentioned being frustrated at Plausible. What did you not like about it?
I haven’t tried Plausible, but it seemed popular


Hi Sarah,
Sorry for the delay in getting to this. We really appreciate the feedback! We’re currently working on an update to our site, and will continue to incorporate feedback over time.
We’ve iterated over these pages a few times, and while there is definitely more that we can do to improve it, I feel that we need a few different guides for each target demographic or use case. Ideally, someone will find their way to the appropriate resource, depending on the level of detail or transparency that they are looking for. The goal of the two guide pages above were mainly to explain what it is that our non-profit is doing, and how it differs from traditional social media. A lot of alternative social media platforms advertise transparency and a positive user experience, and so the guide pages above were intended for people who want an explanation on how the Fediverse can actually deliver on those promises.
Right now, the page we have for users that simply want to sign up for a platform is here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/fedecan/our-platforms
We can certainly improve the flow for users that want to get to that page, and the page itself. We haven’t prioritized that aspect, since we figured that users who are learning about one of the platforms might be going to it directly, instead of through our non-profit’s site.
Would you have some suggestions on what a page like that should include, or what you would like to see in the guides instead?
I have students who can help you with this stuff for free. If you’re interested, DM me.
We’d love the help and feedback, especially if it’s something that would complement their studies! Thank you for offering :)
Welcome!
I like to share these two guide pages because I find that people like the infographics:
What is the Fediverse (which includes Lemmy) and how it works: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started
How Lemmy specifically works (ex. where are the communities, where are the users): https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview
Hopefully these guides are helpful, alongside all the other great advice people have shared :)

Do this in order:
Install with LUKS full-disk encryption and Btrfs subvolumes for and @home so snaps are atomic.
Enable automatic snapshots with Timeshift or snapper.
Export your package lists:
dpkg --get-selections > packages.txtpacman -Qqe > pkglist.txtflatpak list --app > flatpaks.txtPut your dotfiles under version control and manage them with chezmoi or GNU Stow.
Use Flatpak for GUI apps, containerized toolchains (podman) for dev environments, and keep only system-critical packages in the distro manager.
Back up with Borg: borg init --encryption=repokey /path/to/repo ; borg create repo::$(date +%F) /home /etc --stats ; borg prune --keep-daily=7 --keep-weekly=4 --keep-monthly=6
Keep a small, bootable USB with the exact kernel/tools you use so you can unlock LUKS and mount Btrfs snapshots.
Test restores quarterly: restore a snapshot to a spare partition and boot it. Do that for a year and tell me reinstalling is fun again.


Looks good!
I have one suggestion, the white text on bright green on the website is hard to read. Maybe you can pick different colors, or put borders around the characters.


That’s awesome, I haven’t seen many family software projects before.
Looking forward to seeing how it develops!


Very cool, it’s on my list of things to try out at some point
my family and I’ve been working on
I’m curious what this has been like, if you don’t mind sharing 😄 What is each person working on?


It looks like Social is the platform that released v1, and the other ones are still in various stages of development.
https://docs.bonfirenetworks.org/flavours.html#what-is-a-bonfire-flavour
My understanding is that “Bonfire Social” is very similar to Mastodon, with their own way of implementing certain features, and the other features in their funding campaign are still in development


They launched version 1.0 of a platform similar to and interoperable with Mastodon, and they’re doing a funding campaign for what projects they will work on next.


Also they have some art for those that participate:
The code is a commons, so art is offered as a reward. This campaign includes a limited‑run, hand screen‑printed artwork by Rocco Lombardi, the artist behind Bonfire’s icon and other illustrations.



For context, this is what reddit’s limited automod is like

I’m sure we can do better. For example, being able to use variables
Trakt was popular in the past, and has integrations with Jellyfin, although some people may have left after their pricing/feature changes earlier this year.
