  • The settings and federation panel are on the right sidebar by default. On mobile they are set to float and follow the main content then hide the panel so you see the federation icon and settings panel. After the settings is the magazine info and the user who posted the thread info.

    I agree these should be a tad easier to find or added to the user profile as well.







  • Changing ports isn’t a terrible thing, also not the perfect “fix” either, as you can still recognize open ports and scan the service on them.

    Some ports are reserved in networking, so should stay away from those.

    Some ISPs don’t allow you open ports on 80/443 as those are web hosting ports and they provide a service to consumers to download content from the internet, not for their consumer to be a web hosting provider as well. That’s at the residential level, if you have a business plan that might change, but it might be hard to convince and ISP otherwise.





  • I don’t think it’s a matter of “the fediverse isn’t built for that kind of privacy”. The fediverse does have privacy post options all built into the platform you’re using. Mastodon allows private posts, only those who follow you. Kbin is a mashup of Reddit style threads and microblog timeline posts.

    Kbin was developed to show upvotes and boosts as those are synonymous to other platforms like mastodon as favorites and boosts.

    The lemmy platform is more “private” that on lemmy posts you don’t see this as much. With federation and interacting similarly between ecosystems you start seeing the minor differences.

    I do think that changes as possible and that is what makes the open source of the platforms we’re using to be important and requires community input for improvements and suggestions as a whole.



  • I recently switched to Fedora to help get into the Arch based Linux realm. Historically been on Debian based distros. You can’t go wrong with many of the “mainstream” distributions as your first intro to Linux. If you come across any issues ask away and that it a how you’ll learn more about how Linux works, Arch, etc with your hardware too.
