Yea, a lemmy instance will show the same kinds of results for federated communities but there is no substitute for viewing the local communities from that instance.

This shows the lemmy.world communities that are already federated to my instance. Its not a full list.
Edit: this just shows me the lemmy.world magazines that are federated to my instance
From kbin- how do you see a list of communities on lemmy.world? I’ve been navigating to https://lemmy.world/communities in a separate browser window to discover communities to individually search/subscribe to from kbin.
x.com pointed to paypal back in 2000… Elon may have been that edgelord the entire time!
Until yesterday the page just had an ‘x’ on it.
I’ve used mailbox.org for the last few years. They are a privacy-focused provider out of Germany. They aren’t restrictive on the app you use, like proton, and offer an integrated PGP-signing solution.
I think I’m overly sensitive because my power is very expensive and my home is getting pretty warm right now!
That’s so much electricity though! That equipment is typically so cheap bc the power draw is nuts. I agree the pi isnt the right move but why burn up so much power when they won’t be using practically any of it, to learn?
I’d suggest a small, used x86-64 mini-pc, throw in 16gb of ram and a HDD. If you dont pay for electricity, like in a dorm, then the old server-grade stuff is the way to go. Plus it will keep you very toasty in the winter.
I think this is geared towards folks who are convinced counting calories doesnt work. That they are gaining weight even though they “only has 1k calories per day”.
Those are two separate issues. I use a private instance so all my communities only show two subscribers even though I can see all of the posts and comments.
Mali is reclaiming .ml domains. They will reopen on a .net site. More info here: https://very.bignutty.xyz/notes/9hf13it1ced3b2za
You can host a kbin instance with little resources if you have a VPS. Otherwise- you can find kbin instances with open sign-ups here: https://fedidb.org/software/kbin
The mini PC is your best bet. I only have ARM SBCs but they have a lot of limitations. If I needed something new it would likely be a used mini PC. I dont have any suggestions unfortunately. I saw something posted a couple weeks ago that was some university surplus- $30 used mini PC’s, including the case- which will run circles around any ARM SBC. I think shipping was another $30 but still a great deal. Find something like that.
You’d be better off with something that has an EMMC slot (or ideally SATA connection). Running the OS off of an SD card is painfully slow. I’ve also found USB storage to be way more reliable than SD cards, in general. I used an external 4-bay drive connected via usb3 for years and never had issues. Burned through many SD cards over the same period.
Piracy. I couldn’t live with 25%+ of my TV watching time being advertisements. Manually downloading episodes became too much trouble so I setup a Plex/sab/sonars/radarr config on a pi connected to a 4-bay external drive enclosure featuring refurbished HGST 2tb HDDs in an lvm raid-5 config.
Eventually I also substituted my radio with paid Spotify so about the only ads im served are product placements and billboards. Its amazing how much less you’ll spend without ads!
Users of threads will not notice we exist. They have over 100 million users after one week.
Yea, good call. I wonder if kbin makes them viewable because the activity pub protocol does not allow them to be easily hidden.
Oh, right on then.
