A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny... Let's have it!

  • https://lemuria.es/ still has a Lemmy instance running, if any Spaniards are enthusatic, they could try emailing the @admin, @contact, etc addresses and see if the owner will transfer it over to you. I'm sure we can rummage up enough help to get it back up and running if you get control.

  • I don’t mean this in a pretentious “guy in a turtleneck sniffing his own farts” way.

    It's better than finding a guy in a turtleneck sniffing my farts. I don't want to kink-shame but it was a crowded bus and he could have asked first.

  • Let us know how it goes and drop me a line on Matrix and I'll invite you to relevant groups. There is plenty of help there.

    I helped take over the running of feddit.uk after the Admin went AWOL, so the situation is a bit different, but the lessons we learned are largely transferable to your case. So getting it up.ans running should be the easy bit, ensuring it can keep running is where all the planning and hard work comes in.

  • If you have the technical know-how it isn't too bad. Equally, moderation and accepting accounts shouldn't be too much hassle. There are other Admins and devs on Matrix who will lend advice if you need it.

    What you need to do is to invest a bit of time into planning to make the instance sustainable, especially as you are planning on running an instance for your country.

    • Get at least one more Admin onboard, so there is some redundancy.
    • Accept donations - Open Collective is very good for this as you you can use a fiscal host who will hold the money for you. When you hit a critical mass the donations should cover expenses and scale well as your user numbers grow.
    • Plan contingencies for if you are too busy to oversee the site or you don't want to do it any more, don't just drop off the radar.

    I say, go for it and if you need any help then there are a lot of people around who are more than happy to do what they can.

  • Is this being used for fediverse stuff yet?

  • Could this be used in place of a CDN?

    The idea has been raised a few times that this could be a way to get longer videos on the Fediverse

    Cinetimes uses it to stream what it claims are public domain films but, looking over the offerings they may be playing a bit fast and loose with that definition.

    EDIT: I missed the faq with a list of projects that use it. That list has some really cool, useful services i might start using!

    So there is a Hubzilla plugin. I don't know what I'd do with it but it is interesting to see.

    PeerWeb sounds intriguing. You could have truly decentralised web sites.

  • Thank you so much for initiating this program.

  • As far as I can tell this is a desktop plugin. On mobile it only brings across the plain text.
