OpenSnitch, do your thing!

Wow good job sticking through that. Honestly it sounds like you went through a bit of a trial by fire for a first setup. I’m not sure I would have had the patience, but happy you made it to the other side!

That’s about how it went for me. This is pretty much my home instance, but I also keep an account on a more local lemmy for chatting with the townies.

Also experimenting with my own instance. Still workin out the kinks.

There’s a donator page? I wonder if I’m on there…

EDIT: Oic, just scroll down here.

Nice of the .world admins to donate a hundred/mo. Didn’t know that.

What a trend setter!

End of an era 🥲

Although usually the tide rolls back down for a while with one of these Septembers, as some newbies just don’t click with their instance for whatever reasons. Still, it seems inevitable that it will tip over that threshold, and stay there, one day.

I remember duplicate communities seemed like it would be a problem, until you experience it and realise it’s actually a feature of the fediverse.

I was just so used to the centralised mentality. I honestly have a hard time putting myself back in that headspace…

I would, however, recommend Arch if you’re a Linux novice looking to learn about Linux in a more accelerated pace.
