• announce it some weeks early so communities have time to organize
• don’t do it on August, many people on vacation.

Not here, i use it regularly for updates and install some apps. Just checked and updated some apps.

PS: I’m using a created account.

There’s also a pull request https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3378

Not related to selfhosted but OK.

Don’t know about such software for Windows, but if you run Windows on a virtual machine on Linux, like virt-manager/libvirt you can add the USB as a local SSD.
Virt-manager isn’t the most user friendly, but have a lot of features

I only use PiHole for a couple of months, it wasn’t easy to setup something that worked on my LAN and over internet. Initially I used OpenVPN but was hard to use it with profiles to identify the devices.

Than a tried AdGuard Home, and use it with DoH/DoT server was very simple, and can easily use any profile for each device on LAN or DoH/DoT server.
Can easily search logs and block/allow for each device.

Give it a try, and use it for a couple days.

Same but I use Syncthing instead

I’m an old age redditor, and that was may reddiquette, “don’t downvote just because you don’t like the topic, maybe other people find it interesting”.

Mostly I don’t downvote at all, only on some rude or spam posts.

Reddit just become something where everyone downvote everything for no reason, even if just say “OK” ou “that’s cool”!
On Lemmy (ate least for now), not so much or I don’t see it.

If you see a post “orange is the best color”, don’t downvote just because you don’t like orange, leave a comment and express your opinion instead

PS: There’s an old Reddiquette song, the same can be applied to fediverse

Adblock is piracy!

Just use Pided (https://piped.video), Invidious, Freetube or something else.

Youtube website is just trash bloated with JavaScript and trackers.

Setup some RSS bots to auto-post news on your instance.

Hope not, instances should block Threads instead.
Meta/Facebook could use that to harvest more data, and Meta isn’t known for privacy.

And Thread trolls spamming the fediverse also not a good ideia.

It could be defined by the instance or community
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-other-features.html#language-tags

If you set the language(s), it will show only posts with tha language (is set) on your feed, otherwise shows all languages.
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-other-features.html#language-tags

Most posts don’t have a language defined (undefined), don’t know if they’ll also show on your feed.

Did you check this post https://lemmy.cafe/post/102749
Confirmation email could be in spam.

Some instances have an chat on Discord or Matrix for help, check if there’s something

Depending of your instance, see the local communities, you should have some for “community request” or meta, look for the description of the communities.

You can also request on other instance, doesn’t need to be on your instance. Some can be more restrict then others.

There’s also theme specific instances, like Star Trek, Path of Exile, FOSS… each instance can have his own rules.

With Prowlarr or Jackett you can use it with (almost) any other site, or you can use RSS feeds

Instead of using and app for each service, you can use their page as webapp, with something like Native Alpha or web browser.

Fedilab supports multiple networks, don’t take much to run it.

There are some pros and cons of using native apps or web apps.
Native apps can have some features that webapps don’t, like direct/quick share, notifications…

Web apps you only need a web browser that’s already included, don’t take more space, use less battery for background process, and less permissions.
