I think there’s several open source rss-to-lemmy bots already so I think there’s not much need for another one. If you want to do it for experience go ahead but not sure it’s necessary.

Also, be careful with how often the bot posts etc. Filling inactive communities with botposts usually does not help with actual user activity.

Über den bin ich auch gestolpert :) War aber nicht ganz wonach ich gesucht hab :D

Hab ebenfalls das Wetter im Garten genutzt - bisschen gesäbelt und mit Besuch auf der Terrasse gespielt. Ansonsten eher gemütliches WE.

Da alle deutschsprachigen Gartencommunities mit feddit.de baden gegangen zu sein scheinen, hab ich gestern mal !Garten@lemmy.nocturnal.garden eröffnet, vielleicht hat ja noch jemand Lust.

Hehe thanks! Not 100% decided yet but since it’s running on my homeserver and not some VPS I guess I won’t open except for friends maybe.

That sounds good! If Pixelfed or similar implemented that, it could be sufficient. A new fedi service starting from scratch would lack the existing pool of resources since federation only happens when a post gets posted/boosted but after some time it could actually be useful.

I use it to find inspiration for projects where I only have a rough idea of what I would like to build/make. Usually it’s enough to create a new board, enter a vague search term, add some things that seem fitting to your vague idea and then Pinterest does a really good job in suggesting things similar to the results you already added. It narrows down the search results by what you save.

Idk about you but I use pinterest to find inspo for all kinds of things. For that to work, the posts need extensive hashtagging/indexing that goes beyond the occasional hashtag on Mastodon I think. In Pinterest, I really want their Algorithm to find the stuff I don’t know yet I’m looking for. If that kind of search existed, we wouldn’t need a specific Pinterest clone I guess - maybe a topic-board thing on Pixelfed would be enough if the indexing would be sufficient.

If you find one, keep up updated! It’s one of the things where you really need a critical mass already for it to be useful so it’s hard to kick off.

You’ll only see posts from Mastodon on Lemmy if they get posted on a Lemmy community I think

I’ve been using Mastodon for eight years and got involved with hosting a small instance for some years now. Also running a Bookwyrm instance and, since a few days, this Lemmy instance which will remain single user most likely.

I have several more Mastodon accounts I’m switching between and inactive Pixelfed, GoToSocial and Friendica accounts.

Do you think so? I thought it’s comparedly straightforward

You can set up Bookstack and then use it to document everything you’re going to set up later!

Hardware hosts usually get a mix of hardware description and main use, e.g. en old Esprimo with Proxmox is esprimox. Virtual hosts are garden themed - auth server is mycel, monitoring will be called canopy once I move it, VM with lots of docker stuff is garden etc.

That’s cool indeed! If it doesn’t get in the way with too many links in a post

It’s not instance agnostic because the thread lives on the instance of the author. But links in this format: https://lemm.ee/post/57428587 can be put in the search field on any instance and will return the proper post.

It’s the Linux file permissions. If something doesn’t work properly, it’s often due to wrong permissions because the app can’t save/read it’s stuff

Sure! It’s a Lenovo m910q tiny. Mine has an i7-6700 and 32GB RAM but Lemmy runs in a VM with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM which should be plenty, it’s not even using half that RAM. Disk Space seems to be the limiting factor after a while since it keeps copies of all remote threads and comments but that can be cleaned up too.

Found some threads online on resource usage beforehand like this: https://lemmy.ml/post/440678

Hell yeah, you just sent the first notification to my instance :)

Just set up Lemmy! I wonder if this gets through
