It doesn’t look like this at all for me. Maybe it’s an issue of mobile web client? I went to the website and logged in. I don’t see a plus like on discord to join servers or guilds so I assume there is nothing like that. I only saw the rooms I am in on matrix and it looked pretty much like the othet matrix clients I use.
Your screenshot looks way more like discord.
But so does fluxer and I found it less confusing and more immediately obvious to use compared to this.
I’ve never had a good experience, nor a discord-like experience with anything matrix-related. Tried sable just now and it looks to me exactly like any other matrix client. Nothing that I care about in discord is there.
You say it’s “feature complete” but from my POV it’s fundamentally different enough to create constant friction and frustration. Discord communities/“servers” is a very different concept than a matrix room. Maybe my grandma would mistake the two as being same, but certainly not me.
Fluxer does not have that issue, it is a real 1 to 1 discord clone and was already closer to discord a year ago than matrix is now or ever will be due to core protocol design decisions.
Fair point.
My thinking was: if OPs screw is best screwed in with a philips screwdriver, I won’t suggest a flathead one, just cause we’re in the flathead sublemmy. But thinking about it now, I got my priorities mixed up here, privacy goes over convenience for the audience here including myself.
Here are some selfhosted solutions that would function similarely:
with api:
without api:
I honestly believe a well made spreadsheet would be best.
I got myself a whole new ARM mini pc for 600$ with soldered 64GB of ddr5 RAM. I think of it like a very beefy rpi5 and use it as my homelab server. They were not very popular and selling leftover stock for the same pre-bubble price.
I like this: https://www.theideon.com/
And if you are ok with something not open source but still selfhostable and need “jira but for developers”: there is youtrack, which you can find a docker img for somewhere (or you can use their cloud). It phones home to check the license and is free for up to 10 users. It’s very capable and feature rich.
Yeah just learn the EURKEY layout and you won’t ever have to switch it.
with dokplpy as a server docker managementweb gui.
for the code push workflow:
If you’re project has an unusual way to build, you could also do a git action that pushes a docker image out somewhere, depending on yoyr git provider.
There are probably infinitely many ways to autodeploy something.
If you need a step bt step breakdown, I can give you a guide based on my personal website, but that might not apply to your project.
I’m a gui pleb, so I do all my selfhosting through dokploy, which uses traefik under the hood and I’m quite happy with it so far.
Very interesting talk, thanks for sharing!

not sure about the security tbh. but it’s very discord like
Not only does borg have strong encryption, it also has git-like incrimental versioning and insanely good compression and de-duplication.
For example, I backup my whole 700GB OS drive (personal data + the whole linux OS install with all my tweaks and configs) - I set it to keep the last 15 “snapshots” (7 daily, 4 weekly, 3 monthly, 1 yearly) and all it takes on the borg server is 800GB.
I like using borgmatic for automatic borg backups, but it’s optional.

aah.
I don’t think this is the case here, but now I wonder whether rewriting git history dates to be more spread out and go further back before uploading an AI slop project to github is a viable way to appear more legitimate.
ok, clearly I don’t understand the federation protocol then, because I thought if you can see/interact with the instance (like in the @ after the username), you can find out who they federate with.
Can you leave comments from your non public isntance on communities from other instances ?
If I remember hearing it correctly, some lemmy instance admins defederate by proxy. Meaning: they go look at your instance, see who you federate with (even if you do it passively by not blacklisting) and then defederate you if you federate with any instances they don’t like.
(And tbh, I’d do the same, but it doesn’t seem like OP would like that)
I don’t know why besstiolle is getting downvoted when they are correct.
When people say that there is very little of something the natural way is “hardly any rain” for example. So if you invert the meaning from “any” to “none”/“no” the whole sentence means the opposite.
I guess it could be explained as follows (but I am no ethymologist, just thinking aloud here, may be wrong):
“hardly any rain” means that there is so little of it, it is hard to even say that there is any rain.
If your friend says to you “There is no rain” and you go outside and it pouring, you could say 'Hardly “no rain!” ’ As a kind of mocking comment highlighting that it’s the complete opposite of no rain. It is very hard to call is “no rain” when it’s raining so much.
Hope this helps!
I’ve been working on this
You or an LLM? Cause the image is clearly generated.
where did I say
Do you understand the meaning of the word “exaggeration”?
To recap:
I said: “LLM translations have all the same political and ethical issues as coding”
And you replied “No they don’t”
But then you went ahead writing paragraphs on their impact on the environment… which is THE ethical issue, regardless of the copyright issues or the potential benefits.
luddite
mmmmh suuuureee
Fluxer was mostly built before LLMs, but yeah they use it as part of development now.
