I think if you start typing in text to the search bar, it slides out and gives you the options to either search locally or globally.

Poor people who have to constantly clean that up...
Nice, thanks for sharing! I've been waiting for a guide like that.
For reference, here is the discussion about the same thing for the USA: https://lemmy.ml/post/12900909
Yes, please do that for Peertube. Creating videos can be expensive and some people do this as a living and they can't use Peertube because there isn't any monetization options.
But please leave me at least one space where i can casually talk to people and that's not all about money.
Edit: Also why specifically do that on a microblogging platform? And I think you missed the interesing aspects of federation. It should also factor that in and split donations between content creators, instance providers and software developers?!
So far my take is: Yet another microblogging platform?
But I'd like to read/hear something about the details... How does the protocol compare to other existing solutions? Are there free server implementations? How do they handle federation, would I be able to just connect to them and do whatever I want? Or do they retain tight control over the network?
Word of mouth, (social) networking and search functionality. And I think Mastodon as it's focused on people, and Lemmy which is focused on topics, require different handling. There are a few articles out there outlining that Stephen Fry and a few other famous people are on Mastodon. I'm not sure how someone would recommend me my favorite blogger and YouTube stars though, without me searching or clicking on a link next to their content... I think Lemmy is pretty alright. You can enter a term in the search bar and it'll show you the communities with that in the name. Or related posts. Also there are a few websites with listings and directories of communities. The UI could be better though, for example show other communities on cross-posts or include related communities in the sidebar...
And the "proper" way to do it would be to implement what commercial platforms do. Track the users, learn about their interests, have an "algorithm" that gives good recommendations.
I use a RAID for the data but the backups go to simple single disks. My reasoning is, I already have a RAID and redundancy. And I don't have an unlimited budged. It'd already need 2 disks to fail to wreck the RAID and then also the backup has to fail with that solution. That's probably a fire or ransomware or a deliberate effort. Adding one more disk of redundancy would probably not change much. But It'd cost and add complexity.
Also this way I don't need to care about buying disks of a certain size and go through painful migration processes more than necessary. I can re-use the drives with mismatched sizes and swap them in to the backup pool.
I mean the great thing about this architecture is, we don't need to abandon ship. I'm deliberately waiting for something that will be compatible with it. And it'll be the same community. Just a different software with a few much needed things on top.
And I'm kind of passionate about it in the first place, because I like this place. And we have to pay attention not to fall out with each other about details. Sometimes it's just not easy.
Sure. I personally am waiting for PieFed to come along. They seem to know what's important to address and also have some good ideas how to tackle it.
I'm 100% ready to support that and focus my engagement there. I'm pretty sure just changing the software codebase isn't changing too much... But I'd like some more independence from the few people currently doing everything.
And that's also what I've done. I haven't recommended Lemmy to friends and family, yet. And I've refrained from running my own instance, too. Despite having the server ready for that.
Yeah, you can't "steal" IP addresses. Someone can see what the IP address is of the internet connection you're using. But that's it. And without further info it's just a number that tells them your internet service provider's name and maybe the state you're in... Unless you're a streamer with a fanbase that likes to see you getting swatted, or watch illegal content, I'd say you don't need to worry about your IP at all.
But you can disable P2P if you like in the settings if you like. That works even without logging in.
