Due to unpleasant experiences, not the first day :)
I saw these issues before. Its probably about video encoding. I need to tweak media settings.
Though I can play the video in Mlem.
As I understand, it will make things work like Bluesky. Users will be able to use their own domain handles while not hosting an instance as a whole.
If you seed only, then your bot won't subscribe. So your All tab will be the same.
Mutual mode can put an additional load on your instance if you are not following the top communities on Lemmy. But I believe it is worth it.
If the extra load becomes a problem, you can disable the bot at any time. With the "Reset subscriptions" button, your bot will unfollow from all communities.
I would suggest you to set Federation mode to seed only. I do not recommend mutual mode for instances under 100 users.
NSFW? Your preference. Auto add? I think you should enable. Fediseer? Default is fine.
Ok. I want to host my own Bluesky and interact with the bsky.app instance. How?
The article is all about excuses.
I agree that fediverse needs a personalized "explore" page in general. For example, this is the only plus feature of Bluesky over Mastodon (in terms of technology). It is obvious how big difference it makes.
I generally avoid the evil algorithms found on other social networks, but I hope we see that in Lemmy.
So is he self hosting her or what?
Same. As an instance admin, I like to read other admins' experiences with new version updates and being aware of possible attacks/issues in the fediverse.
I'm glad you're happy 🙏 I'm trying to keep the instance as chill, friendly, and unbiased as possible. I hope we can keep this going in 2025 :)
