Firefox has always been my go-to. In my opinion more people should use it.

Wow they have you clocking in and out? What is this, McDonald’s? Who does that?

Let’s all go back to the office to get on Teams/Zoom calls.

Hopefully some instances will filter some of that toxicity out. 🤞

I’m using a VPS with Hetzner. I’ll have to look up if it’s blocked. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t really able to find a clear answer elsewhere.

Wow! I didn’t expect something like this from such a big subreddit. I expect the admins will just take it over though.

Depending on how many other subreddits do this, they won’t be able to run all of them on their own.

A more detailed set up guide would be great! I feel like some details were missing from the Lemmy guide.

Thanks for offering your knowledge! I successfully set up and instance using their docker installation guide. However I was never able to get the smtp server to work. I first tried to add postfix to the docker-compose file like they have in the ansible installation example on github, but that didn’t work. Just trying to add an email address to my account would stall the UI with a spinning animation on the Save button. I then tried to update the hjson config file by adding my sendgrid api credentials and removing postfix from docker compose. That gave me the same result. At that point I kinda gave up and deleted my vps. I don’t have access to my error logs anymore, but I can spin up a new vps to try to get the same errors again if needed.

I felt kind of lost when looking for a Reddit alternative. Lemmy feels like the right alternative. It’s not perfect but it’s a better base than what we had with Reddit. I hope it picks up.
