I was, but with it being a mostly media heavy update, I wanted to put it off a bit. I'll look into it soon and maybe 0.19.5 as well. We may use image proxying in the future. This comment is mostly talking about new moderating tools. https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements

If the bigger instance has to push/pull in data from you personal communities because they sub to it, then yes. 1 person not using your front end isn’t going to change much.

"Allowed Hosts" is white listing btw. You should leave it blank if you want more than just lemmy.world and lemmy.ml

And I wouldn't say it reduces the load on those sites. It would kind of add to them in a way if you post from your instance or sub from your instance solo. If it's just you on your instance, it's barely a blip. May save them some photo hosting if you post.

SOME of the out of sync upvotes/comments are fixed in 0.18.1

Accessing Lemmy Server with internal IP in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I believe some things are populated by your hostname in the lemmy configs so straight IP may break a few things.

The solar flare was categorized as an X1.08-class flare, making it one of the most powerful classes of flare to be ejected from the sun.

My instance is out of sync from federation in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] w0odl@lemmy.radio 8 points 1 year ago

I think it's just a general situation. A lot of the "big instances" are having a lot of issues right now with federating correctly. Comments, counts, votes are all off on most instances it seems.

There are a few github issues you can find/follow. It's supposed to be addressed a bit better int 0.18.1

I started on Twitter in 2008 when you had to SMS to tweet. This downtime since musk started is ridiculous. Glad I moved to mastodon.

Possible Defederation of sh.itjust.works in c/amateur_radio@sh.itjust.works
[–] w0odl@lemmy.radio 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Defederating and outright banning other instances has become an issue at https://lemmy.radio for sure. You have to stay up on the issues that other instances create. Your example of a net control station is spot on.

I think we’re fortunate as a broader amateur radio “community” that we understand how to police ourselves.

You’re more than welcome to mod at !amateur_radio@lemmy.radio

Was looking into trying some digital modes and even logging while mobile (POTA/SOTA) or just on the road. I’ve also heard people use android devices as well.

(META) !amateur_radio community created for general amateur radio posts. What to do with rag_chew? (lemmy.radio)

Hey all!

(tl;dr !amateur_radio is taking the place of !ragchew)

When lemmy.radio first started (a week ago?), I created a hand full of communities I thought would interest most hams. A few other user created communities have also popped up, which has been great. It's fun seeing other hams join and share their interests.

One thing I've noticed as I've been using lemmy and looking for other amateur radio news outside of our instance is that we aren't discoverable AT ALL if you search for "amateur radio". That's pretty absurd for a server whose whole purpose is to bring amateur radio enthusiasts together.

In order to help our site be a bit more findable, I've created Amateur Radio. Any general amateur radio discussion, questions, and news can be posted there.

Rag Chew was started as a sort of catch-all community for radio discussions that didn't fall into any specific category/community, pretty much what Amateur Radio will be used for. I'm not sure what to do with !ragchew now. We can retire it or leave it open for general NON-amateur radio talk. That also opens the discussion of "Do we want non-amateur radio communities here?". I'll leave that up to everyone here. If you have any thoughts on that, leave them in the comments.

Thanks and 73,

Ben
