Definitely. I’m happy about the way I look and even happier being a decent human being.

Hey now some of us have no choice. There’s us poor baldies too.

Do it, 100% worth it! Also has some extra stuff for already-experienced users if it gets too easy :)

I had the same issue, this is indeed perfect for that level and a nice cozy start for your server admin journey :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I hope someone else can pitch in with a more indepth instructions, but two things I wanted to mention:

First, forget about hosting your own email from home. Seriously. Even those who do it professionally don’t want to deal with that at home. You’ll find people on fediverse who do it but I’m sure plenty will give you this same recommendation/warning. It’s a huge hassle and it’s so easy to get your domain blocked/ending up on a blacklist and way harder to get out of it.

Second, I can personally recommend https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/ if you are really starting from scratch ( there’s a community here: !linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev ). This is how I started and set up my own linux server and started self hosting stuff on it. It’s really basic and won’t teach you everything you need but it’s a great start for setting up your own server. You can do everything with a local server at home that you have set up.

With how federation works it does really help investigating vote manipulation cases.

There is a user who is super active on a community and was consistently getting downvoted with 10-15 downvotes, making sure certain post filters would never show this content on all feed. All the downvoters were the same on every post, they were from a new instance that has/had no web frontend and none had comment history.

If they haven’t been tagged as bots please report them. The ability to mark an account as a bot + the ability to hide all bot accounts is there for a reason and whoever is creating all of these accounts is not playing a fair game.

Mods + admins are keeping an eye on reports and there’s tons of accounts being banned every day across threadiverse. Some trolls give up after a while (new ones always pop up, but that’s just the internet).

No worries :)

No, haven’t tested bazzite. I’m sure it’s great as I’ve heard good things about it. My comment was just a joke comment since we are in a meme community (but I do actually use mint, btw)

Don’t know what’s all the fuss about (I use mint btw)

That’s a nice tip, have to try that out. Thanks!

Vinegar based cleaner for everything and you are good. Recommend a separate, dedicated mirror cleaner for mirrors though. Clean weekly to reduce the need to scrub with more powerful stuff.

!boomermemes@sopuli.xyz got you covered.

No problem, glad that we were able to provide you a useful answer. Highly recommend checking out the community blaze linked in a comment below to get an idea how the lang stuff works on lemmy!

Correct me if I’m wrong but you can select multiple viewing languages. It’s just slightly unintuitive in lemmy-ui: hold either CTRL or SHIFT (I forgot, apologies) while you select languages in your profile settings.

The default posting language/allowed languages are decided on community level by mods.

Edit: didn’t want to just say unintuitive without offering an alternative, so: visible checkboxes would maybe be more intuitive?

YUP I gave up quickly! it’s truly a CSSHell lol.

That’s the one, thanks Blaze.

Definitely. Really nice to “run out” of posts to remember to actually close my app once in awhile.
