Here’s another comment to get to 5.

By no means an expert but how do you want to set it up? Different subdomains or folders?

I think subdomains are actual FQDN’s and will not cause issues. Folders might be an interesting experiment.

What benefits does something like BRICs bring to a country like Ethiopia?

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

Testing. One two. Mic check.

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

Yes, I am. I’m also running lemmy-easy-deploy. Can it be that that has something to do with it? That your script needs a more normal installation?

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?

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

A real world one: So, where I live, we speak Dutch (well, Flemish, but who cares). A beer (pint) and a kid (kind) are really close to each other in our language.

The best man in his speech - roughly translated: “take (rape) another kid” (neem nog een kind). He ment to say “take another beer” (neem nog een pint), but the nerves got the best of him.

Was a funny moment :)

For me, it is endurance racing. WEC and IMSA. Been to Le Mans this year. What a crazy cool experience.

Oh! Now it is running, I think. Should I just leave it on, or put it on for a few hours per day? or just once for a few hours?

sorry for the wall of questions! overly enthusiastic about Lemmy and the community that makes it great!

I’m getting this error from the docker container when I try to do the initial run:

root@lemmy-server:~/lemmybot# docker run --name lemmy-subscriber-bot --restart always -dt --env 'LEMMY_USERNAME=subscriber_bot' --env 'LEMMY_PASSWORD=mypwd123' --env 'LEMMY_DOMAIN=waste-of.space' lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot .

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: ".": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown.

Tried it, failed to get it running! Do you have a place where I can ask for assistance? A “home” post or a specific community for it? By any chance? :)

So, that works in a funny way, and this is one of the quirks that belong to the current state of the fediverse. I see you are on lemmy.world, so you should not be impacted that much by it, but still… Let me explain.

You can easily search for all communities in lemmy.world (your “home” instance) by switching the toggle in your search screen. By default, you can’t search for communities on other instances, UNLESS someone on lemmy.world has already done so (or, I’m not sure about this one, is subscribed to that community). If you do so, lemmy.world will federate with that community and keep it “in the loop”.

If you should stumble on a community that you want to subscribe to, but it is not yet federated by lemmy.world, you can just use !communityname@instancename.ltd to search for it. The search takes some time, or you need to try a second time. If you subscribe, that community will be federated with your home server.

Not that big of a deal for instances like lemmy.world as I said, but a bigger thing for small instances (like my own).
