No downvotes is a feature toggle by the way.

If you by any chance are an apple user and you already pay for apples icloud+ service (eg via Apple one), you can do it via there as well.

Is Joplin something you can host or fontina use their cloud?

Wow. A lot of comments! Thanks all. I will check them and see if there is something that matches my use cases!

You are probably a lot more technical than I am, but I would solve it by putting the TV on my guest network that comes out of the box of my mesh network…

I have the feeling that this is extremely exaggerated. I only have 40 Gb in total and still have 23 gb free. I don’t run the tool constantly, but run it every once in a while to make sure that my All has interesting communities. If it would be 2 gb/day I would be loooooong over my 40…

Hmmm that is not really the small instances “fault”, but that is the idea of the Fediverse…

Mine went from 8 gb to 20-ish gb. So not that much ;)

Stop what you are doing and use https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy

It is super easy this way.

When you decide to set it up, you need to create a user on your instance and fill in those details in the command line to run the thing. Also make sure to change the instance name to your name, otherwise it will not work.

Other useful commands:

docker rm --force lemmy-subscriber-bot To actually destroy the docker container if you want to start over

docker logs lemmy-subscriber-bot To see if the thing is running and doing things.

Welcome to the club! I used the same easy deploy setup as you! Makes life really easy eh :)

Furthermore, to populate All, I have this one running: https://github.com/lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot

If you do this, you will need some extra space because the database will grow, but I think it solves one of the (largest) downsides of running your own instance, namely discovering other communities.

Try !lsbsupport@lemmy.world

You can use https://lemmy.world/c/lsbsupport to populate your server! Do notice, database size will grow, as per expected.

Here’s another comment to get to 5.

Well… I hosted nothing myself, but now I host my own Lemmy instance :o)

To “fix” all, you can run a bot. Check !lsbsupport@lemmy.world

Thanks so much! I had no idea I could get the logs like that. Not used to working with Docker. TIL, I guess :)

Sure, it seems like a user error?

Do I need to create a user first on my instance?

root@lemmy-server:~/lemmybot/lemmy-subscriber-bot# docker logs lemmy-subscriber-bot

Well, since you can see my post and react to it, and I can react back (and follow communities) I assume it works :)
