Thanks for pointing that out—looks like they’re working on a Server Suite. I’d guess that they try to monetize that but leave the personal desktop version free

Does this differ from Ollama + Open WebUI in any way?

EasyPanel is a hidden gem. Caprover feels very robust and the main dev is really friendly. Coolify is still under development but looks very promising.

I use Caprover mostly since it supports managing multiple servers through Docker Swarm, otherwise I’d probably be using EasyPanel.

Of course! Yeah, this post was intended to be less of a proposal and more of a brainstorm session. Maybe licenses aren’t the way to go about this, or we create our own licenses to be compatible with ActivityPub and match Lemmy’s values? Maybe it doesn’t matter how our content is used, or there’s nothing we can do?

You might be right, I definitely see your point. ActivityPub adds a whole new layer to this too. In the end though, isn’t the content we post no different than anything else published on the Internet? I guess it’s important to note that technically nothing public can be 100% prevented from being used in unwanted ways. However, there might be other ways (legally, socially, etc.) we could discourage it.

Regardless, I’d love to get a better sense of how much this matters to us here on Lemmy—or if it should even matter in the first place

[email protected] has this

I’ve been annoyed by this too. Here’s the issue on GitHub for discussion, I doubt anyone will have any objections but it still might be a little while until it’s implemented

We can’t force people to join, but we can emphasize the negatives of Reddit and the ways Lemmy solves those. Things like:

• Lemmy does not collect personal data and share it with third parties like Reddit does
• Lemmy does not violate your privacy with tracking or ads like Reddit does
• Lemmy’s code and algorithms can be viewed and reviewed by anyone at any time as-is, unlike Reddit
• Lemmy is 100% self-funded and moderated by its own users across the world. Reddit and your data is governed by a single money-driven corporation with controversial leadership

People that value those things are the ones that will consider moving over. You might say that you’ve read over Reddit’s terms and conditions, and then present the Lemmy community as a private and safe alternative if anyone wishes to join?

The closest I know of is not completely free or open source, but it’s by Ubiquiti Labs and it’s really good for a mobile video editor. Mentioning it because it might still meet some people’s criteria:

Ah, it ended up being my language settings for me

Same thing happened on [email protected] from a new test account I created on lemmy.ml. All posts are still visible from other accounts.

Definitely take this all with a grain of salt—I am by no means a legal expert, this is just my advice.

Privacy Policy

Required by law in Germany if you are collecting any sort of data about your users (even if it is being collected by a third party through your app, or if it is entirely anonymous data).

Data Processing Agreement

Required by law in Germany for the same reasons as the Privacy Policy. This agreement makes it clear how your users’ data is used.

Cookie Policy

Required by law in Germany if your application uses cookies of any kind (mostly applies to web app and web technologies)

Terms of Service

Highly recommended. This may protect you immensely if and when you end up in a legal situation down the road.

Other

Otherwise, you should look into these as well if applicable:

• EULA (if distributing your app to be run on someone else’s device)
• DCMA Policy (if you host and share any user-generated content)
• Return Policy (if you are selling anything)

These documents matter most if (1) there is money involved or (2) when you are receiving, processing, storing, or sharing user-submitted content or any data about your users. This is because you are less likely to end up in a legal mess if you’re not taking people’s money or data.

Starting out, you can find templates for these online. A template will be better than nothing at all. Then, if you are able down the road, you can hire a legal professional to write and review your documents for you. A legal professional might recommend more specific documents or different versions of the same document as well.

Not sure about Germany, but in the United States it’s fairly inexpensive to start an LLC. You can then put legal documents under that new entity instead of your own personal name. This can protect you and your own belongings from any unfortunate financial or legal situations.

Again, if you’re not receiving money or any user data, you don’t have to worry quite as much. However, it never hurts to play it safe. Mistakes happen and anyone can get sued.

This is not possible on the official Lemmy UI and as far as I know no third-party apps or clients support this either. What some third-party apps do support is hiding content based on keywords. If the content that annoys you has some words in common, maybe you could use those keywords in a third-party app to filter it that way?

something like [email protected]/281723 isn’t the best, but would at least make things more consistent across instances and could be formatted by apps and the web UI to look nicer

Yeah you might be right, not sure if migration will require any extra space but it’s possible. Some providers offer very cheap snapshots or backups and you could just make one while you attempt to migrate. If it doesn’t work, it would be easy to revert at least

There’s not much more of an option unless someone else knows of one, but at some point you will need more storage again and object storage is just cheaper than block storage

Media is likely what’s taking up the most space. Pict-rs supports object storage, at the least that would be more cost-effective (usually around $4 per month for 250gb) than scaling up your machine’s disk space

Nah I think The Fediverse Short-Form Media Hosting Platform has a better ring
