I’ve found the solution to this problem is to not have friends.

Scroll down to do a complete reload doesnt work on my iphone but other than that it’s great.

And to add to this the universal links with a ! should automatically be fetched by your instance instead of going 404 if they haven’t been searched before.

Agreed. Beyond just no ads because I go out of my way to block them on my network and devices its nice to browse new and be able to have discussions instead seeing complete shit posts or popular ones with 1,000+ replies already.

No way. I don’t care if Lemmy doesn’t succeed I’m never going to tolerate that shit. I stopped using Twitter when they killed third party apps and forced even more ads into their piece of shit app.

I’ve blocked every ad I’ve ever seen on the app. I haven’t used it in a while and I doubt I’ll ever go back now.

The only thing left that I use it for is getting alerts about live police chases so I can tune in. Ill leave that going until those people move to other platforms.

I run my own instance and I can reply, make new posts, and even moderate communities on any instance I follow, and that doesn’t block me instance from joining. The only thing I cannot do is create communities on other instances.

So when lemmy.ml went down do to server load I had no idea until i clicked a direct link to it. I could still see my copies of their communities.

It’s more like my account won’t ever be deleted if the sever I signed up on goes away.

It will be interesting to see what happens as large instances grow and how they deal with storage and bandwidth. Any media a user uploads anywhere is hosted on their main instance. Self hosting also puts me in control of my upload media.

Its been a while since I’ve had any gpu’s attached to a windows VM but I think my time pre dates the change. I realized they were not actually doing anything for my given workloads so I sold most of them. The P40 is setup in a VM for tensorflow now and one of these days Ill get the time to go back to that.

What hypervisor are you using?

I use proxmox and run a couple windows VMs for Remote Desktop. I’ve passed through nvidia gpus and even at point had a nvidia grid setup running splitting up a P40 across multiple VMs.

The nvidia gpu’s require several config options to ‘spoof’ a real desktop and prevent the code 43 error but windows still identifies them as virtual machines. I’ve never found a way for trick windows itself into thinking it’s stand alone.

Yeah me too. It’s the only way we can make this work.

I’ve read that the anti cheat engines will be triggered by a virtual machine. Not sure which games you play but you might have issues if they are online.

Same here. I never really engaged on twitter, this is more my speed.

Glad to hear it’s possible. I’ll give it try next week after things hopefully stabilize but with the looming Reddit shutdown on the 12th I might have to wait a bit longer.

This reminds me of when digg blew it self up and everyone was complaining that Reddit wasn’t like digg. In time something good enough will come along if lemmy isn’t it. In the meantime I’m enjoying myself here.

I tried pasting a kbin magazine link into the search box but nothing ever showed up in my communities. I would love to be wrong but I’m not sure we can subscribe to their native groups.

Well that’s convenient. I never noticed that is was a clickable link it before.

You could just disable pict-rs in the config and instruct users to copy/paste the URL from another image host.

I just setup my own instance. Can you see my comment?
