Arguably the best combination

South Carolina has been BOOMING recently. I can’t complain

Maybe one day corporate stuff. You just need to write one file to copy-paste and identical system to dozens of your employees’ issued devices

I know it’s a feature – that’s what I meant by “most of it is a result of completely intentional behavior”. However, I then went on to say that it is still detrimental to my users’ browsing experience if they want to “daily drive” r1b.it. Like I said in another comment, I’m not replicating the entire fediverse – that’s why I didn’t opt for a relay. I’m only replicating what my users want to see

Edit: I also want to make it clear that this optimization is actually super beneficial for most instance. However, for us little guys that are just getting off the ground with only a handful of users, it can be hard to deal with

I looked into relays a bit, but I don’t think they’re what I want for my tiny little instance. Relays are a firehose; they ingest everything from every instance connected to the same relay, which can quickly take up storage on my low-end setup. My little Python script is more precise. It only targets individual communities that my users are actually interested in.

That’s all assuming I’m actually understanding how relays work. If I’m missing something, please let me know, and I can change gears without a hitch

I appreciate you being as kind as you are in response to a half thought-out thought posted sporadically onto the internet. You’re giving me too much care, lol

I agree with pretty much everything people are saying, at least that which is kind. I think I probably just overcorrected when trying to account for the fact that Lemmy tends to bring in the techy type. My thought process was flawed. I don’t have much to say beyond that and an updoot, which I’ve been giving to most

Also, the edit to the post was intended as a mass reply. A lot of people are saying the same thing, so I didn’t want to reply to each individual one, nor did I want to come off as argumentative. Like I said, I agree with what most are saying

Working the TLD into the name of the site itself is a recent trend I’ve seen. I did it with my instance, and so did the hosting service I use, elest.io

Thanks! Feel free to join if you want it, too ;)

Your logo looks identical to Photon’s logo, and the UI seems very Photon-y. Inspiration or coincidence?

The differently sized brush strokes almost look like the focus of a camera. Super cool!

Woah! How have I missed this?? I probably just only ever searched for “ocean” and “fish”… Silly me

I’ll be sure to link it in the sidebar of !marine@r1b.it along with any others I missed :)

Yup! I’ve actually posted in both before (I did so on the former quite recently). However, !aquariums is for, well, aquariums. Y’know pets and their homes. !marine@r1b.it is for all sea animals, not just the pets!

But you’re absolutely right – I completely forgot about !ocean when writing this post. I shouldn’t have said I’ve “never seen a marine community”. Though, it is fairly inactive like you said. And this is the Fediverse! A little decentralization never hurt anyone ;) I’m perfectly happy to run alongside and support “competing” communities

Fr. It will be missed…

r1b.it ;)

Wow, 6 years? You’ve even got me beat. Wear that as a badge of honor! Like I said in another comment, bigger number better, lol

I agree. That’s part of why I made my own. I was originally a part of feddit.de and moved to feddit.org when they shut down. I was already hesitant because I could tell they were growing, but I didn’t expect them to as much as they did, lol

Honestly, any extremist slop
