I never got any help asking questions there anyways. Answers I got back we’re trollish. When I provide and answer it can’t be the answer as it’s based on your own reputation score which you can’t get but answering questions. It seems like a flawed system. Didn’t know they had mods either. Never really got any solutions either from stack overflow, unless you read every comment for the right answer.
Changing ports isn’t a terrible thing, also not the perfect “fix” either, as you can still recognize open ports and scan the service on them.
Some ports are reserved in networking, so should stay away from those.
Some ISPs don’t allow you open ports on 80/443 as those are web hosting ports and they provide a service to consumers to download content from the internet, not for their consumer to be a web hosting provider as well. That’s at the residential level, if you have a business plan that might change, but it might be hard to convince and ISP otherwise.
I run a PiHole and have Quad9 as the upstream resolver instead of the ISP. That was pretty simple to setup as well. You can also do DNS-over-HTTPs and other options as well for content filtering to block malware and items of DNS upstream.
Thanks @lilkev !
How many are you looking at using for the private beta? Might want to adjust the google form to only allow one signup per account, so users dont reregister.
I saw that one too. I was looking to see how we could add the “related” magazines and federated sites together as well.
I’ve started/modding
What is hard too, is if all the posts to get things started are the mods or creator, the same ghost town might occur. It’s hard to tell or know what will be interesting to get people talking so to speak. Some should also be put on the subscribers as well who also have an interest. It’s a double edge sword sometimes.
There could also be /m/Technology on every kbin, lemmy instance as well. Now if the mods from Reddit are moving over I could see that as more “official”.
That’s also what makes the fediverse options great, they each can be used together and separate giving users a wider use case of one instance over another. If they like the community in one but not another. Or if one community leaves the whole thing is not gone.
One note too on the “unofficial” list is the way each platform recognizes and is searchable for them is different on each platform. Be aware if you “can’t find it” using the way the community name is listed.
On kbin there are options to upvote and downvote. The upvotes are related to favorites and boosts are like reblogs in the mastodon scheme. kbin has a unique way to blend the thread style of communication and content with the microblog that is better federated to other Activity Pub server instance types.
I wish one account on the fediverse was more easily used across platforms: mastodon, peertube and kbin for example. I can follow kbin on mastodon but came enjoy the thread experience of kbin. Still getting used to each platform as well as they each offer a unique experience of their own.
Let’s go!!
