Have you tried out Firefish? It’s another micro-blogging site like Mastodon, but the UI looks better in my opinion. You can follow Mastodon users on there and a bunch of other Fediverse content as well. They’re still working on an official app, but the PWA works quite nicely.
To add to this, it can even be as simple as reporting bugs you find, whether that be with the Lemmy code itself or a client you’re using.
I installed Sync, threw $16 LJ’s way for putting in the work to convert it to work with Lemmy, and then uninstalled lol (commenting from Thunder). I plan on continuing to use FOSS clients for Fediverse stuff, but am happy there’s a healthy variety of open and closed source clients for everyone to pick and choose from.
I got a 4 CPU / 24Gb RAM Ubuntu 22.04 ARM VPS running on Oracle’s “always free” tier. The Synapse and Postgres containers are using about 2% CPU and 1.2Gb of RAM combined. If your strapped for resources, check them out.
Do you have any issues with Spaces rooms not loading on yours or federated homeservers? I tried reinstalling a couple times and could never get them to load in Element, so I ended up just spinning up Synapse which has been working fine.
I’m posting from my secondary account on lemm.ee , which is a another nice general purpose server that’s very responsive performance wise.
I waited months for Google to release a firmware patch to unlock Bluetooth. Eventually, I got tired of 4 mostly bricked (could still use them wired) controllers laying around and tossed 3 of them. I wish I would have kept them all now, Stadia controllers are some of the best, I may have to pick up another one online.
