Also using Hetzner, can't complain and the pricing is good.

Donations, or with a small enough instance a server admin might just pay out of his or her own pocket. Maybe if Lemmy were ever to get much bigger there might be paid or ad-supported instances.

I think a big part of the point of federation is that the costs of hosting servers can be distributed so no one has to spend millions to keep their server running. That way there is less of a need to monetise an instance (and less of an incentive, as if you start doing anti-user stuff, people can just move to a different instance).

Huh, yes that seems to work. Thanks! That will do as a workaround until (I assume) the issue is fixed in Lemmy.

Oh, great news! New Fairphone looks good, look forward to seeing the specs. I hadn't heard of the Shiftphone before reading the article so will also look into that.

Would be really interested to hear any real life reviews from users of the Bangle.js 2. It looks great given its features and price point but would be interested to know if there is a catch somewhere.

It's good that they mention the refurbished option. The most eco-friendly phone is the one you have, the second most eco-friendly phone is one someone else is getting rid of. Of course, the repairability promise of phones like the Fairphone is exciting and might make them a good bet longer-term.

I plan on using my current phone into the ground but I'm not sure what I will do when it finally dies. I think if there is a Fairphone 5 with modern specs by then, I would strongly consider it. I know constant new releases kind of goes against Fairphone's philosophy so there might not be a 5 for a while, but with the Fairphone 4's specs I would worry about how long it will remain useful. If there is not an improved Fairphone out by then, I would still consider a Fairphone 4 or would likely buy a refurbished Pixel.

-site:pinterest.* seems to work for me.

Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I thought it might be available as I can follow off-instance communities on Jerboa but I haven't dug into the source code there to see how they do it.

Hi there, thanks for working on this! One thing I am trying to do is write a script that fetches all of a particular user's subscribed communities (on any instance). It seems like a fairly simple thing but I can't seem to find any library that offers that functionality at the moment, unless I am missing something.

Another thing I'd like to be able to do is follow a community on a different instance to the user's local instance. I see Plemmy has a follow_community method but it's not clear if it allows following communities on different instances.

Are these things that Plemmy does or will support? It wasn't clear to me from the docs and am just wondering if Plemmy (or any existing library) will work for my use case.

Looks good! Is there a reason it currently only supports Python < 3.11?
