How would you feel if Beehaw left the Fediverse?

I am one of the admins of Beehaw and I'm trying to get some feedback on our potential move.

Let's start out with a little Beehaw history before judgements are passed, please.

A handful of us were beta testing Tildes when we decided to have discussions on a Discord server.

We decided that our 'Northern Star' or guiding principle would culminate as 'Be Nice' with purposefully vague/flexible interpretations. Our overall goal is to provide a safe space to disenfranchised persons.

We talked for a little over a year and some of our members became impatient. Then someone stepped in to suggest a couple of platforms that we could consider getting started with.

One of those platforms was Lemmy. None of us knew, at that time, anything about ActivityPub.

During the Reddit exodus (surrounding the API outcry and blackout), our instance exploded. We were, initially, crippled by the mass amounts of users seeking refuge.

Thankfully, someone stepped in and volunteered hundreds of hours of work to stabilize our instance and refine it further.

After many hours of talks, it became clear to us that our overall goal could be achieved outside of Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Right now, we feel that Lemmy and ActivityPub have downsides that are limiting us from achieving that goal.

Questions regarding Unity, Windows and gaming

My two sons will be getting a Windows gaming PC for their upcoming Christmas gift.

However, one of my sons has expressed their desire to use Unity.

I've been looking at this MSI Cubi for their gaming desires.

However, when I looked at the free/personal download specs for Unity, I noticed that Windows 11 is not supported.

Maybe I'm going about all of this the wrong way? I just want a Windows machine that would handle most of the popular games out there that would support the use of Unity.

Please, help us solve this problem.

What is happening with the Lemmy mobile apps?

It's my, general, understanding that most people connect to the Internet through mobile apps.

If this is the case, then why have apps such as Remmel, Lemmur and jerboa taken a back seat?

IMHO, it would be a mistake to market Lemmy without these mobile apps functioning properly.

I have forked the three aforementioned mobile apps here and will try to 'drum up' support from developers wherever I can find them.

Please, if you don't feel comfortable talking to me about this here, then send me a private message. Thank you.

[RESOLVED] Federation configuration for v. 0.15.1 NOT working

Current lemmy.hjson configuration file (with or without the closing bracket...both do not work):

{
  # the domain name of your instance (eg "lemmy.ml")
  hostname: "beehaw.org"
  # Settings related to activitypub federation
  federation: {
    # Whether to enable activitypub federation.
    enabled: true
    # Allows and blocks are described here:
    # https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/federation/administration.html///instance-allowlist-and-blocklist
    #
    # list of instances with which federation is allowed
    allowed_instances: [
      lemmy.ca
      midwest.social
      /* ... */
    ]
    # Instances which we never federate anything with (but previously federated objects are unaffected)
    blocked_instances: [
      string
      /* ... */
    ]
    # If true, only federate with instances on the allowlist and block everything else. If false
    # use allowlist only for remote communities, and posts/comments in local communities
    # (meaning remote communities will show content from arbitrary instances).
    strict_allowlist: true
    }
}
