Update.

Agreed! :lw: It’s such a cute critter!

I adore VLC.

I’ve been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It’s quite friendly.

I’m also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.

I enjoy that Mr. Torvalds is referred to as an “emperor penguin.”

That is all.

Followed!

Litigation in 3… 2… 1…

It’s a tough decision.

There’s a target on the collective back of Lemmy, its developers and this instance. Rooting out these issues early is part of it. One of my first recommendations to @ruud@lemmy.world was to start putting aside contribution dollars from donors for a legal fund to manage liabilities like this. This decision is just solid management and avoiding issues well ahead of time.

I wish the admins well. And for those who have had their communities ‘snipped’ from being connected to Lemmy.world, I hear you. It’s hard when you have built a connection and a sense of self on a platform, and then it becomes severed. That’s hard.

Oof.

Echoing the need to create and seed (posting some example posts) for communities. On my end, the wiki resources of subreddits were some of my favourite content items, so new communities working on recreating shared pages and resources is right at the top of the list of things that excite me about Lemmy communities. ♥️

I’ve now made a repository on GitHub, so that you can download the graphics and use them for your communities and projects. There’s even an Etsy store selling stickers now.

Alright! I picked up a pack, and two extra “Logo World Circles”. I’m looking forward to seeing the graphics I assisted with as stickers, @cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world! Not 100% where I’ll be putting them, but they’ll be placed somewhere…

Oh yeah.

This is going on the fridge…

Good bot.

Added mine!

Here are my humble three submissions!

The first is a bit of a mashup, mixing the proverbial light bulbs that go off in community threads and has a lemmy with full cheeks (probably after eating… a little too much!). Also, it looks like an ice cream cone. It’s a bit more pop-art.

Only the finest content will do: the second one has a bit more of a ‘fine dining’ aesthetic, where users engage online in a sophisticated, gentle-lemmy manner. Its nose is tipped upwards, as if looking down on lesser memes.

The third one is more attached to your sought-after design. I attempted to channel the similar Fediverse art style, while keeping it simple enough for an app logo.

Exciting to see! Hopefully we start to get some network effects, and start seeing communities pop up from the different parts of the internet.

One of the things I quite like about Lemmy is that a group can host their own community, and for folks who are concerned about what happened at Reddit or otherwise, the fediverse/decentralized model allows them a high degree of control, while at the same time connecting them through an entire network of people to discover them. It’s pretty exciting to see this.

Glorious.

My home server is a Ubuntu install on a 2017 laptop. A lot of guides have been very useful.

I installed several other tools, with Portainer, for a variety of imaged applications. With various containers I installed Jellyfin (for hosting old videos and converted media of mine), Calibre (for a digital library of textbooks from my history degree) and a few other tools. I’ve been half-tempted to host some WordPress sites, but I have yet to figure out nginx…

Inspired!
