Just another Lemmy user, and also an idiot who accidentally wiped his Lemmy instance not once but twice. Oh well, third time’s the charm.

  • I’m not really the correct person to answer this, since I’m not struggling to the same degree as you are.

    However I once heard a good tip on how to save money. Most people, when they receive their salary spent it first on the necessities (food, rent, etc) and then save the remainder (if anything is left). But instead you should first save a percentage of your pay before spending on any necessities. That way, your brain will try to make the best use the remaining money to survive the best it can


  • I don’t really mind nor care when someone is wrong about something as long as they’re not bothering/affecting other people.

    For example:

    Someone believes that flat earth is real. Fine, whatever, you’re not really going to cause any harm with this.

    On the other hand, during the pandemic, when people refused to wear masks/take vaccines. Then it becomes a problem because they’re affecting other people (potentially putting them at risk)

    Anything on the web that is accessible by you is accessible by web scrapers. So to answer your question, yes.

    Unless Lemmy goes down the route of Twitter (I refuse to call it by its new name, it’s dumb) of blocking access unless you login. That’s just how things are.









  • Its also getting the content creators onto the new platform. Thats a bigger challenge I think, without creators it’s a dead site really, and making videos is significantly more difficult than image or text posting.

    For storage, if we assume the format would be WebM at 1080p, 60fps and 20 minutes in length, it turns out to about 1GB. Even a cheap VPS instance usually offer 50GB of storage (with not too expensive storage upgrades).

    So if its distributed evenly, we can host a good bit of videos (nothing compared to YouTube though).
