A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Why create an instance if you are not ready to post in it? (self.asklemmy)

Lemmy has many nearly abandoned instances. Over the entire period of its existence - several posts. Shouldn't the instance owner post content to attract users?

Guess I should have said it cost me nothing extra because I already own the server.

Although Oracle's free tier exists.

Ah ok I'll look into that, I keep meaning to learn how to self host, thanks

[–] danileonis@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm also interested to learn self-hosting, it's the future of internet imho.

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's the only alternative I can think of to things like Google drive honestly

[–] danileonis@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it's only for your files you can already do that without hosts, using Syncthing!

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using that to sync my Zettelkasten and school notes between my laptops and phone, it's pretty nifty.
