Thank you all for your patience!

I am a Linux sysadmin (Redhat and fedora mostly) at a local university for over 20 years. I would be happy to help in any sysadmin tasks.

I thought about setting up my own Lemmy instance. I've already set up my own matrix server and mastodon (gotosocial) server for only me, and I thought I'd give someone else's lemmy instance a shot instead of building my own this time.

So uh I am old and easily confused—what does “rule” mean in a fediverse context and why is it in the titles of so many posts? Please take pity and explain it to this frail geriatric millennial. TIA

From my even more geriatric gen-x understanding: I'm guessing you are referring to /c/196 posts. Which has a single rule of having to post something if they visit the community. So people are titling "rule" because they are posting to follow the rule.

I ended up filtering that community out, because it was so much random noise when I'm trying to look at "all"

New version released: v0.0.6b21

I installed mlem like 5 minutes ago, and have only been using Lemmy for about a week, so I apologize if I just don't know what I'm doing :)

When adding an account, the first field (Homepage) shows help text of "lemmy.ml". I am using midwest.social as my server. If I type midwest.social there, login doesn't work. I have to type the full URL with the scheme (as https://midwest.social) and then it works.

Is it supposed to work without the scheme? If that is just some weird thing with midwest.social, then I guess , but if you are supposed to type the scheme there too, then I would suggest the help text reflect that to avoid confusion.

You reached the end
