TIL 🎡🎡

Good stuff!

This is the way to go. Gives some reasonable grounds to commit to an instance when you expect it will be up in a month. We are also trying that with Baraza with a trusteeship kind of design.

It will also help to evolve towards some form of immutable governance for the instances. By this I mean an instance should be more than the individual admin(s). If such an individual was to tire off, get distracted etc, the instance does not suffer the same fate. Technical federation is one thing. Federated governance is a whole different issue. I am not advocating for formal organizations (but those would help in some cases), but rather a clear provision for instance-continuity beyond the current admins.

Documentation is well done. Good stuff. I use podgrab for some tests and while I like it for the simplicity, I had to move to Audiobookshelf as it combines audiobooks and podcasts neatly. I’ll check this out as it looks quite thought out (and sleek too).

Spread the gospel! Cite the primary sources as much as possible.

So, @mkukiwamagere@lemmy.world, who owns Migingo? From one East African to another. :)

You will also be amused at the extremes the two countries that claim it, Kenya and Uganda, have gone to assert their rightful ownership.

Migingo is the stock of Kenyan and Ugandan jokes -- to imply something so minor yet amplified by politicians.

Basic networking skills. Most lives can be significantly improved by basic home network. WiFi deadzones, wireless printing, shared folders for basic documents and resources etc. All while being relatively secure.

I don’t see any error here.

My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy, and perhaps others such as Tild.es and Hacker News.

More power to you!

If that would be possible, how would you moderate comments, seeing how random things can get? Federating with only approved finstances (federated instance)? What if you keep your blog, then push every post you make there to your solo-community on a finstance? You can engineer your comment section on the blog to pint here or fetch the comments content from fediverse to your blog...
