  • This is sso support as the client. So you could use any backend that supports the oauth backend (I assume, didn’t look at it yet).

    So you could use a forgejo instance, immediately making your git hosting instance a social platform, if you wanted.
    Or use something as self hostable like hydra.

    Or you can use the social platforms that already exist such as Google or Microsoft. Allowing faster onboarding to joining the fediverse. While allowing the issues that come with user creation to be passed onto a bigger player who already does verification. All of these features are up for your instance to decide on.
    The best part, if you don’t agree with what your instance decides on, you can migrate to one that has a policy that coincides with your values.

    Hope that gives you an idea behind why this feature is warranted.











  • It’s a sad day when something like this happens. Unfortunately with how the Lemmy’s All works it’s possible a huge amount of the initial downvotes are regular people not wanting to see the content, as downvotes are federated. This constituted as part of my original choices for disabling it when I started my instance. We had the gripes people are displaying here and it probably constituted to a lack in Reddthat’s growth potential.

    There needs to be work done not only for flairs, which I like the idea of, but for a curated All/Frontpage (per-instance). Too many times I see people unable to find communities or new content that piques their interest. Having to “wade through” All-New to find content might attribute to the current detriment as instead of a general niche they might want to enjoy they are bombarded with things they dislike.

    Tough problem to solve in a federated space. Hell… can’t even get every instance to update to 0.18.5 so federated moderation actions happen. If we can’t all decide on a common Lemmy instance version, I doubt we can ask our users to be subjected to not using the tools at their disposal. (up/down/report).

    Keep on Keeping on!

  • Hello,

    Please see the rules of reddthat here: https://reddthat.com/post/9701

    No racism or other discrimination No endorsement of hate speech

    As such you have broken our rules, specifically being racist. You have remained civil and I thank-you for that. Normally I would have banned the account in question by now, but have decided not too unless others end up reporting your comments, but I see that as unlikely as this has become a worthwhile discussion.

    What has your post in the community abandonedporn got to do with this? Nothing. This is an offtopic conversation which you started off with zero context. And text with zero context can be read with a myriad of inflections even when the best intentions are meant.
    If you started off saying you knew the area, or lived down the road, that may have some credibility and then tied into your current feelings about the issue then we wouldn’t have had a problem if you said it in a way that acknowledged it was your own opinion. Like how you have now is amazing, I wish all comments were as thoughtful as this. But you chose to originally post in a community that has next to nothing to do with Russia to voice your opinion on your dislike.

    Hatred towards any country is not welcome on Reddthat. I understand your feelings and they are worth while.

    I look forward to seeing you in a different community, maybe a political community to have a discussion.

    Thankyou

    Reddthat Admin Team






  • I use Wasabi storage which is more expensive as they have a minimum space allotment but because my servers are in Aus I had issues with backblaze b2 storage and the latency. (I was dealing with 200-300ms in network latency AU -> US + the time that backblaze takes to store the data).
    At that time lemmy/pictrs was not as optimised as it is now so it’s much better now.

    Backblaze comes out WAY cheaper per-month if you have servers in us/eu, as close to their regions as possible, but they also charge you for API.

    As part of an Object Storage / cdn remember you also might have to pay for egress charges as well. Cloudflare is part of the “Bandwidth Alliance” but that isn’t applicable here as pictrs needs to present the images via its own domain, (such as cdn.reddthat.com). So you’ll still want a CDN infront which will mean you will only pay once for the egress instead of everytime everyone loads it.


    • Minio’s free tier is a host-it-yourself. Where as their paid tier are for actual storage hosters, they have a minimum of 100TB/month @ $10/TB.
    • B2 has no minimum, and egress + hosting of 20GB cost me… ($0.29)
      • Note: They still havn’t billed me because I havn’t passed the $1 mark yet!
    • Wasabi (my current choice) is $7/TB (AU, US is $6/TB iirc) with a minimum of 1TB/month with out egress or api charges

    Reddthat has… looks up 150GB of object storage now.

    I would recommend B2 if you are starting out and are in US/EU. Wasabi in all other regions and have a CDN infront. (and don’t mind burning a little cash for peace of mind)
