Welcome to everyone joining up so far!

Housekeeping & Rules

Reddthat's rules are defined here (& are available from the side bar as well). When in doubt check the sidebar on any community!

Our rules can be summed up with 4 points, but please make sure you do read the rules.

  • Remember that we are all humans
  • Don’t be overtly aggressive towards anyone
  • Try and share ideas, thoughts and criticisms in a constructive way
  • Tag any NSFW posts as such

I'm lost and completely new to the fediverse!

That's fine, we were all there too! Our fediverse friends created a starting guide here which can be read to better understand how everything works in a general sense.

As part of the fediverse you can follow and block any community you want to as well as follow and interact with any person on any other instance. That means even if you did not choose Reddthat as your home server, you still could have interacted with us regardless!
So I'd like to say thanks for picking our server to come and experience the fediverse on.

Reddthat "Official" Communities:

Other Communities

Communities can be viewed by clicking the Communities section at the top (or this link). You will be greeted by 3 options. Subscription, Local, All.
They are pretty self explanatory, but for a quick definition:

  • Subscription: Communities that you personally are subscribed too (can exist anywhere on the fediverse, on any instance)
  • Local: Communities that were created on Reddthat
  • All: Every community that Reddthat knows about

All is not every community on the whole fediverse, all is only the ones we know about. Also known as "federated" against.
There is the fediverse browser which attempts to list every community on the fediverse.
Just because a community exists elsewhere, doesn't mean that you have to join it. You can create your own! We welcome you to create any community on Reddthat that your heart desires.

Funding & Future

How we pay for all the services is explained in our main funding and donation post. We are 100% community funded, and completely open about our bills and expenses.
The post may need some updating over the course of the next day or two as we deal with an increased user base.
If you enjoy it here and want to help us keep the lights on and improve our services. Please help us out. Any amount of dollarydoos is welcome!

Good luck on your adventures and welcome to Reddthat. Cheers,
Tiff

Hi all, I registered my account here yesterday, just tried to activate 2FA but it doesn't seem like any of the codes I put in work (network response is always "incorrect_totp token"). Could this be a bug by any chance? It also looks like I cant remove 2FA any more. Posting this from my phone where Im logged in still.

Also, really loving it so far on here, can finally get my 'reddit fix' again after trying to kick it after their API changes.

[–] ticoombs@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

There is a Remove 2FA item in the settings. If you still have access via your phone (non-app) then try that. But now that I think about it you probably only have access via an app, rather than the website otherwise you wouldn't have posted. :)

I'll be removing your 2FA now for you.

Ah amazing, thank you so much. I tried to remove it myself from my logged in session on my phone but didn't seem to do much. I'll leave it for now as it is.

[–] ticoombs@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Oh no! I can remove the 2fa will have to jump into the DB. But it should be working, or at least the devs tried to fix it in a recent version.
Make sure your phone's time is correct (I just checked and the server's time is all fine) so nothing obvious is wrong..

If I don't hear back from you within the next couple hours I'll try and remove the 2FA.

Thanks for the welcome- from a fellow Aussie and a Reddit Fugee.

There's dozens of us, dozens! <3

Are you mods doing okay? Your userbase is rising pretty fast. That sounds great, but also stressful.

[–] ticoombs@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So far it's not that bad. You can see on the modlog everything that I and other admins do.
Everyone on reddthat has so far been a pleasure to deal with. Even when people post on the wrong communities or accidentally do something that doesn't fall into our rules.

While we might not have the biggest communities (so far) but we all know moderating is a tiresome job.
Which is why we have a special tier on our donation page which I plan to use to help show our appreciation of our moderator's hard work with a small financial compensation.
