But here we are with that being the status quo. I despise thieves who believe it is ok to steal things that people have worked hard, not necessarily in a monetary way to get things. And supporting them shows a complete lack of empathy. I pity you for that

Hahahahaha - keep telling yourself that. Until the insurance fails to pay out and you’re homeless, with zero possessions and everybody doesn’t care

I’m pretty sure if someone stole everything you own you’d see it differently

most of those I talk to struggle with emails to be fair… we are talking about the non techy people, I feel that is the real reason. Nothing I have seen about the fediverse helps displace the feeling you need to be more techy to use it

nope they have plenty of UK focused things. Run by a US corp of course, but plenty of local content. I welcome the debate, but for the majority of people not in the fediverse ecosystem, the numbers just look awful and that is a massive reason they don’t either look here, or stay. Herd mentality is strong. Most of them are in no way shape or form techy either

It doesn’t, but stalling is different than just sitting roughly the same. I am talking about my experience, with my peers and clients… most of whom have just upped and left

All the meta products, reddit, old fashioned forums… plenty of things. Discourse (pah) tik tok. Different but have way more users. I’m genuinely curious how they get so little traffic in this day and age against other methods. And yes, I know I’m asking on Lemmy, but I’m new here, and I still cannot fathom why they are so quiet

I downloaded a car. I love my Tisla Model C

For me and the clients and fwiends I talk to the issue with the fediverse for them is the decentralised nature. Most of them are NOT tech inclined and the suggestion that they would have to choose a server and that choice will influence the experience is a deal breaker - pure and simple. To follow up then if they do join, the sheer lack of numbers baffles them and they quit

Point to cloudflare as using tunnels… I have said this already, but this is exactly what is happening

Nope… us Brits are a strange lot. Heck it is why I asked the q to start with because brits ARE so strange

Never used to be any issues but recently I’ve had some real fun trying to get stolen domains back after the details were either wrong or false… you can do it, but it takes time and a heck of a load of cash

After being AMD for years recently went back to nvidia for one reason. nvenc works way better for encoding livestreams and videos than amd

So just got back to this… so if it is parked on the bun you need to change the nameservers at cloudflare to actually get the domain to work. Without that step cloudflare can’t do much with it. Cloudflare will tell you your own personal cloudflare nameservers, porkbun will have set them to theirs, so firstly find out what the nameservers are set to in cloudflare. Work through this guide

https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/

Once cloudflare has the nameservers and they are resolving, which can take 24 hours, you can then route through your tunnel or whatever…

Not a fan of Amazon in any way shape or form, but for some purchases here in the UK they are simply miles ahead of other firms. Latest purchase by me, though not paid for by me is 2 x batteries for my wifes mobility scooter. 20% cheaper than anywhere else, took 1 week to arrive (not bad, not the best) but was so easy to order without all the hassle other solutions involve. We have a prime account still as there is some streaming stuff we also like to watch. Still (just) more pros than cons

You want to use flexible ssl/tls for starters, doubtful it will work otherwise. Log in to cloudflare, choose domain, then SSL/TLS and see if encryption is set to flexible. See what that gets you, though it can take 15 mins for effects to show up. As long as the server can be reached cloudflare will try and match a certificate so lemmy gets served, as long as the server is set up correctly and the ports etc. are correctly forwarded and open

again - no bias but that seems tiny compared to other “things”

How are you using Cloudflare, and what are you serving the lemmy instance on? I’m guessing it is due to the ssl mode chosen as said before

Pico is kinda like Bludit, but Bludit has plugins. We all know the pros and cons of those but it does save you time if a plugin exists to do something you need, plus it has theme support. So pretty much the same then… I just have used Bludit thus the recommendation

Aye it is… but 400 users seems really small compared to others
