Its only southern thank god. Most of us are still ok.

Ashes tend to go up so that is partially what you are seeing.

One thing is that kbin/mbin/piefed/etc…etc… interact with lemmy all the time. Its getting a bit hazy if “lemmy” the platform is growing or if the entirety of the fediverse is growing and others are communicating with the software. We are now seeing quite a few accounts from all over the web interacting with lemmy communities. Is that a new “user” according to the stats? Or is that person a one off from mastodon?

What I a seeing is a general increase in discussion on the platform and increase in posts from all over the fediverse. Which is awesome!

I’m trying out yacy and it’s hitting the same spot. My only issue is self hosting seems to not work well for yunohost so I may need to find a way to run it alternatively somehow.

If anyone knows and other good search engines for the fediverse let me(us?) know. Im trying to find something that isnt just a small wrapper around google/bing/etc…

I’ll give it a shot thanks!

Surreal watching the rest of the internet freaking out. Meanwhile we are just sitting here on our own platforms doing our own things.

search @username@pixelfed.social and you should see the user pop up.

@user@server.url just like any other account. It should show up. Another option is to search for the post on the top of lemmy and then navigate to their account.

Example: @dansup@pixelfed.social

If that doesnt work, you can try this: https://lemmy.world/u/@dansup@pixelfed.social

in other words your telling lemmy to go to his personal account, which happens to be on another server.

Then they doubled theirs in 15ish days, which is crazy good.

Most servers do. Depends on their block/allow list and their setup.

The software supports it, you just need to make sure one of your users has followed an account/lemmy community on the pixelfed side and make sure a lemmy account follows an account on the pixelfed side.

Its not a perfect solution, but it gets the job done after that. (I tested this on an older version of lemmy and a new bleeding edge version of pixelfed)

One of the biggest ongoing issues with lemmy is that all the other fediverse systems generally work together pretty well but then you get to lemmy and it works…kinda? Mostly? But there is always quirks, like only being able to post but not see comments. as I say on lemmy :). I like the platform because of the ongoing community that seems to stick around and have sustainable growth (like oooold reddit).

Excellent. They are seeing huge growth. I’m hoping it’s sustainable, the main server is just getting slammed right now (according to the mastodon posts).

According to fedidb all they need is 70k ish more people and I get will surpass Lemmy in number of users.

I like my rtlsdr. It’s great and super cheap.

yep peertube is great. Im partial to https://makertube.net or https://tilvids.com/ but theres a ton: https://joinpeertube.org/instances

2 in my local area. It’s how I found out about it. We have been slowly growing the community.

Then you switch to someone else. Also its not just about talking. You can track a number of things: sensor readings, track satellites, airplanes, boats, etc…

To answer you seriously, yeah kinda! It’s a way of communicating without any internet access. You can talk with people around the world if you want. And it opens up to a whole community of people that really like the hobby.

Nope that’s what the web interface is for.

But an rtlsdr is pretty cheap if you want to go that route. I do satellite tracking with satnogs and it’s fun.

It’s silly they don’t just delete it instead they make you wait…
