  Thanks. They’re honestly kinda cute, and if a little larger, I probably would’ve mistaken it for a bee before noticing the lack of a stinger

  I paid $1.80 for my first domain (which was a .lol TLD, a little obscure but worked for me). It’s now renewing at $26, though. The more well known ones are a fair bit more expensive though, and rarely have introductory sales. There are a lot of random weird domains nobody’s ever heard of that only renew for a few bucks a year on going though.

  It wouldn’t work for a Lemmy instance, unless you don’t mind changing instances every year, but you could theoretically get domains for less than a dollar for at least a few decades by constantly changing domains every time you’re due for a renewal, to make the most of the introductory discounts lots of them have

  Interesting. I very briefly ran a test Lemmy instance off a raspberry pi I had laying around, but shut it down because I was worried about having an open port on my network and exposing my IP to the world. Then I tried to run an actual Lemmy instance on a proper VPS and ironically had more issues with that than running it at home!

  @Nath@aussie.zone @lodion@aussie.zone if either of you have the chance to look into this over the weekend, that’d be super good. I have almost zero clue what’s happening or causing it, but I’m happy to try and collect some additional debug or error logs if you can point me in the right direction

  (Also I’m just going to tag an alt account because I can’t tell if I’m actually tagging people right: @Baku@sh.itjust.works )

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telstra, Optus to delay 3G network closure amid public safety concerns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue is two fold. The first devices which don’t support 4g, and the second is the loss of coverage with the decommissioning of 3G. That’s what my last comment focussed on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telstra, Optus to delay 3G network closure amid public safety concerns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think anyone’s really suggesting we keep 3g in the metro areas. Almost the entirety of the greater Melbourne area has 4g, with a fair chunk having 5g, and I think most major cities in the country have almost complete 4g coverage.

  But in the country, there’s so many places I’ve been through, even in the last few months, where I’ve only had 3g/H+, that I also don’t foresee them rolling out 4g to any time soon, let alone the any time this decade. 3g can travel further than 4g, and a lot further than 5g, which means it’s all well and good that they’ve converted all of their 3g towers to also have 4g dishes, but unless they actually build new 4g towers, it’s still a net downgrade.

  Yep. It’s quite a good deal, when you think about it. People are only upset because they promised it would only cost 300k. If they’d quoted 1mil, they could’ve come in under budget and everyone would be stoked! Always under promise and over deliver 😎

  I’ve never gotten one of these before, but I did also get a hello fresh coupon which I thought would be kind of pointless to try and give out.

  I used to give out those 3 month Xbox premium trial cards on r/free during my Reddit days, had a few people take them. Thought maybe somebody here would like the wine one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Join fediverser.network, make it easy to bring Australian redditors to the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the idea, and I also believe that getting more people onto the fediverse is a good thing. However, I do have a couple of questions/concerns.

  Firstly, I’m not really sure why this would require access to Lemmy instances themselves? is it to improve coverage by automatically crawling all the communities on a given instance to match with Reddit alternatives? Or is it to automatically sign new people up to an instance and then subscribe them to the Lemmy communities automatically? I believe that pushing for admins to provide root level access to their Lemmy servers is going to limit your growth. I don’t run an instance, but if I did, I’m not sure that I would allow anything except the bare minimum access to the server.

  I also noticed that the Subreddits section doesn’t display anything. I ended up creating a second account which I OAuth’d to my Reddit account, and it was still empty. I was trying to figure out how to add an ‘alternative to’ section on a few communities (which took me a while to figure out how to do)

  Also, about the above: Are there any plans to add a way to link a Reddit account to a pre-existing account? What about account deletion, data anonymisation, and GDPR compliance? I do realise most of those aren’t relevant at the moment, and probably won’t be for some time, but I think you may encounter some issues, considering the more privacy-conscious nature of a lot of Fediverse users.

  I do really hope to see this expand and grow, though. Despite the potential to bring some unsavoury Reddit types, it’ll be an overall win for the Fediverse.
