Photoprism for photos. Its awesome!

Not as hard as for people from Ukraine, so, nothing to worry about.

Putin and his government has been killing and putting their opponents to prison since 2000-s. At the same time they were telling older people, that if they chose anyone from opposition, Russia will return to its darkest ages.

While doing this, they closed or took under their control all indepent media and made it illegal to say something, that doesn't fit their narrative.

And now people wondering why Russians aren't protesting or fighting that regime.

Went here to write this.

Source: I've left Russia, where I've been born, after war started. Left there my whole family and all friends.

Wanna see those tankies, who say it's all for good under some posts like that.

I also did this. 5yrs and 1k karma.

I'm not that optimistic about lemmy's future (especially after lemmy.world defederation on beehaw), but I'm glad to be here.

If it won't work, I'll just stop wasting my time on reading things I don't need. If it will, that'll be cool.

Yeah, don't use SD for something, that continuously writes data on it. One power outage and it will die.

These servers are exchanging info with others.

One instance starts that exchange if its user or other instance user has subscribed to community on it. Since then it will send and receive all posts and comments for that community to over instances, which has subscribed users on it.

Some instances may become blocked on other ones, since then that community users will not see posts or comments from blocked community users.

You can check the list of your instances connections in the footer, under "instances".

Something like that was with me and Dark Tower. I've tried to read it for 3 times, but I'm always stop at Susanna's song.

Idk if I'm gonna stay, but I won't return to reddit.

No, you can't. Your instance will go down, but all your posts and comments will still live in read-only mode on the instances they been federated before.

In mastodon (another activity pub service) you can export your account with subscriptions, but not the posts. So, if it'll happen, you gotta start from scratch.

Thanks, great. Gonna search it on my instance, so it'll appear on a list.

Look at mastodon (or try it), after Twitter user exile it grows and shines like an independent big social network. Same will happen to lemmy.

And if original developers will shut down their instances, there will still be a lot of others. And if devs abandon their code, it's opensource, so anybody can continue supporting it. And if not, ActivityPub is a protocol, that's used to exchange data, and new software will be written, like kbin is a working alternative to lemmy.

So, the only thing to worry about is a userbase, we must form it to attract new creative people here.
