It uses activity pub, a protocol that allows servers to share content. So when you post on an instance, it became available for other instances to consume your content.
About slowness, it can be that your instance it being rate limited, or it is not powerful enough to process all its users. You can try another instance.
I host it in a Truenas BSD Jail, and the process was as straightforward as compiling and running any other Rust / Postgres project. Which error did you get?
I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...
Another option is SearXNG. It’s meta search engine, which means that it aggregates other search engines like Google and Bing but without tracking or logging, because your searches are proxied using a public instance, that will mix your search with the ones from other people.
And about default search engine, don’t know what you’re talking about, both chrome and Firefox allows this, in mobile and desktop.
Hi! I’m seeking some advice and sanity check on hopping from Ubuntu to Fedora on my personal PC. I’ve been using Ubuntu LTS for almost two years now, switched from Windows and never looked back. But I cannot say I know Linux well. I use my PC for browsing, some gaming with Steam (I have AMD GPU), occasional video editing,...
Why don’t you install flatpak on Ubuntu, make the packaging migration before doing the OS migration so you can evaluate your workflow with the new packaging system? Afer you’re used and confident with flatpak, backup and restore the flatpak folder into fedora and you transition should be smoother (don’t need to worry with 2 stuff at the same time)
In Ubuntu in the post install screen theres is the telemetry screen where they explain it, allow you opt out and give you a json example of the data they’re collecting from your machine.
This hate comes mostly from Linux communities like here and on Reddit. When you see actual numbers, both are widely used for production use. They have lots of active users as reported in their respective blogs and websites.
That said, it is aware that both had problems. Most hate towards Flatpaks that I can see is from purists that prefer their distro shipping their packages with dynamic dependencies and uprated by their package manager. Also there is complains with outdated runtimes and stuff like how sandboxing works.
Snaps has all problems than before with some extras. When they were released, because of compression, they were painfully slowly to open and they affected boot time. Nowadays this is mostly gone, but they still keep a proprietary store, inability to have multiple repositories (stores) and they don’t respect your home directory structure by placing a “snap” folder in your home.
Personally I use both and I’m happy with them. The proprietary store stuff does not bother me because I’m already trusting canonical binaries by using Ubuntu and they are easy to use and be productive with them.
As an addition to other responses, think that most apps (specially smaller ones) are developed using some framework or set of libraries that might or might not support those protocols.
So let’s pretend that I have an app buit using Electron and that framework does not support Wayland. There’s nothing I can do on the app side until Electron supports Wayland in this fake example.
So it actually takes time for the libraries to support the new protocol and then app developers to update their apps to support it aswell.
That’s why you see that the Wayland migration is incremental and not all at once.
How does federation actually work?
…and why is it often PAINFULLY slow to acknowledge an up/down vote or to open the reply dialog?
Could someone explain how to set up a lemmy instance with ansible for an absolute beginner
I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running...
What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

Using Fedora Atomic is like... (feddit.de)
Stolen from linuxmemes at deltachat
Need to switch to Hanna Montana Linux now (lemmy.ml)
Everyone loves snaps (lemmy.ml)
Can someone ELI5 why some apps need to support X11/wayland?
Isn’t this supposed to be a job for the window manager?...
