So I'm trying to get a local instance of Lemmy 0.18 running on my LAN with docker. I don't have a domain name (yet) and would not be able host lemmy as a Proxmox Container primarily to get acquainted with hosting and administering an instance before eventually hosting an instance on a VPS. Has anyone successful hosted lemmy on their LAN? How did you go about setting it up?

Servers with "lower" entry requirements have been infested with bots. Those with "higher" entry requirements are breaking ties (defederation) with these "lower requirement" lemmy servers

So I come from a 3rd world country where many people lack the basics. Covid-19 and remote work opened a lot of opportunities for local tech folks such that $15/hr immediately made you very comfortable here. This was after years of earning about $2k/yr from local employers. A lot of young locals are now rushing into tech with the aim of earning such "mouth watering" pay. However many are not willing to put in the work. They literally want you to plan a learning path for them, teach them, get a job for them and in some cases work that job for them

I learned that word in Physics in high school. The anomalous expansion of water where water behaves differently between 0°C and 4°C

Been on Reddit for 4 years. Almost exclusively used the official app. I was completely irritated by the ads disguised as posts. @ChristianSelig posts about the API drama and I tried out a few of the 3PAs. What in the name of God was I ever doing on the official app?

And I totally agree with you. If the downvote option is disabled then same should be applied to up votes. The arguments been put out here against downvotes also apply to up votes

Couldn't the same thing be said about up votes?

Are you able to host without a domain name? Looking to spin up one to see what the install process feels like before I spin up a production instance

You wrote this on lemmy.ml. You can te by how your user name is displayed here. Others writing from different instances would have their "full names" displayed. Something like @username@instanceName

EDIT: Apparently I was wrong. It looks like that only holds for other lemmy instances

No one here uses duck.com email addresses?

Looks like a good tool as it mentions editing your comment before deleting them. Not sure if I recall correctly but I believe I heard Michael Bazzell in one of his podcasts mention something about editing your posts first (and allowing sometime for them to "bake in") before deleting the edited posts
