it's not official, also the mod here seems to be inactive. but it's the biggest homelab lemmy I could find on https://browse.feddit.de/
I don't know where all the people from r/homelab have gone. some other subreddit that have closed have flooded into lemmy but r/homelab doesn't seem to have done that.

I came because of Reddit shutting down 3rd party apps, but I knew about lemmy before. I like self hosting and have self hosted a matrix server for probably a year now, and when twitter blew up I heard about mastodon and searched for a Reddit version. However, I am lazy as shit so I didn't bother to set up an instance until a couple days after the reddit news. Honestly it was probably for the best, I probably would have been put of by the tankie stuff. I do feel lucky to have been here before 100 instances though, It was so barren before the influx of Redditors, rarely would a post hit 100 upvotes. It's incredible how much it has changed in the last few days.
oh wow that's strange. I cannot imagine what they must have done in the nginx config to do that. I guess there isn't anything you can do until lemmy.ml fixes their IPv6 then. I just checked my logs and lemmy.ml isn't federating with my instance anymore. Thats very bad! Also explains the lack of content i've been seeing.
EDIT: Ok nevermind, lemmy.ml is federating with me. I just connect to it over IPv6
ahh, I think this is because lemmy.ml is down all the time from the load right now. if you unsubscribe and resubscribe when lemmy.ml is back it might fix it.
If you know how to use greasemonkey there is a script to make lemmy look more like old.reddit here Personally, it fixed a lot of the UI issues for me.
What do you mean by 3? you shouldn't need authorisation to join a federated community.
Yeah, I'm at a loss.
Brilliant, I can see so much more of the main page. one less than old.reddit.com but that doesn't really matter. Thank you so much!
I know there isn't anything you can do but one of the things I'll miss about reddit is the custom CSS. I hope some form of custom CSS gets added to lemmy. I'll miss the "unique" design of r/mildlyinfuriating or the complete insanity of r/ooer (I tried to link WayBackMachine but it seems to be down)
Good shit, That fixes most of the UI complaints from me. One other think I can think of is making the post a bit smaller to fit more on the screen. Much better than default though.
Look at the usernames in the replies to this comment
Nah, I can't see any reason to make more than one account.
The file you downloaded is a compressed JSON file, it's not something you can really just look at. But it contains all the data needed to build a nice UI around.
I don't know what OS you are on but on linux you can run zstd -d -c file.zst | jq . and it will print everything in the file. It's not really readable though. Also it doesn't have any of the media content, only the text
maybe something selfhosted? there's no shortage of servers in the community
