Can I have just one community without American politics shoved into it?

What does this have to do with technology? Seriously? Because she... used a computer?

Even more so since profiles are generally less anonymous than reddit.

How so?

My profile tells you I use an instance (in this case my own, dusty-radio) and my username on that instance (in this case Dusty). All this tells you is the name I've chosen and that I host this myself. It's no different than if I was Dusty on reddit, other than the instance URL.

Awesome! It's always an amazing feeling when you finally get things dialed in just right. Congrats!

I don't really see it as an issue. Post it to whichever community you are most active on. If people want to part of that particular instance, they will see it and interact with it.

Just like I'm interacting with this post right now even though I'm not on lemmy.world. I'm quite over what became the gamification of karma on reddit, and really hope it doesn't become a thing here. There's no reason about having to worry about which instance to post something to, people will find it and interact with it.

If it works for you and allows you to start learning, there's no problem with it. Too many people seem to think that if you haven't compiled whatever yourself, it's not true "self hosting" but you should do what works best for you to get to the goal you want.

Ender 3 pro. Never had any issues with it really. I replaced the motherboard with a skr mini pretty early on, and changed it to direct drive. Running klipper on a pi 3. Sure it's not the fastest, but it works very well for me.

Thank you very much! I'll get this set up on mine.

People want it for torrenting or hosting things to the outside world. /c/Piracy has been flipping out because Mullvad removed port forwarding, which now apparently makes them one of the worst VPNs ever.

Mullvad (and I'm sure others) removed it because individuals have frequently used this feature to host undesirable content and malicious services. They simply do not want the kinds of things that users were hosting, passed through their servers as it has led to police visits, blacklisting and providers cancelling them.

Thank you for this, looks good!

Thank you for that.

I did find one glaring issue on kbin that will keep me from using it in the future.

I had apparently opened an account whoknowswhen, and figured I'd remove it and start again. When I went to delete the account, it didn't actually delete it, instead it keeps me logged in and just put this at the top >Your request to delete the account has been submitted.

That seems like a bit of an issue, as I shouldn't have to wait for it to be submitted (which also appears to mean approved) before deleting an account. Until that's fixed, I'll stick with lemmy and mastodon separately.

Maybe it was written using chatgpt-4

I tried kbin and don't really understand it to be honest. I looked at their documentation and it doesn't really explain much other than how to create an account on an instance.

Going to kbin.social and creating an account didn't get me much farther. I don't undrestand how to "subscribe" to (for example) the lemmy communities I follow her, or the users I follow on mastodon. And the "magazines" thing I really don't get.

Maybe I'm too dumb for it or something.
