I disagree that this is a concern. If you are already exaggerating about federation wars, chances are you already tried lemmy and know a good bit about selecting instances. The average user will not care as much as you do.

The average user will go to join-lemmy site, will not care at all about the different instances and likely choose the biggest one or first one they see. None of them will think “oh no this one is involved in federation wars” because thats not something you find out before knowing some about the fediverse.

Deleting the bottles directories from the repos directory seems to fix it, thanks for the advice!

Update: Following your advice, I proceeded to delete the files for “bottles” from the repo folder in /var/lib/… and that seems to solve the issue! thanks for the help! :)

thanks for the tip about storage space, although I do seem to have 100 GB of free space so I do not think this is the issue?

However I noticed I have a filesystem /run/user/1000 it seems to be created by flatpak, and it has 1.6 GB of total space. Should this be a source of worry?

The other advice about deleting the directories does not seem to work either :(

This worked, thank you!!

Does not yield the right results still

Yes that yields the same result. I get some results, but not any from Lemmy including the one I am looking for.

Not exactly. I want this to be a place where many users post their different feeds, so I can browse through them and subscribe to the ones I like. RSS is a great candidate for this.

You would need to use lemmy to publish the feed, right?

This does not address the searchability issue, or the complexity and cost of self hosting. I want less friction for the user who is only focused on publishing and does not care much to own their infrastructure.

I alluded in my post to why a blog would not work, but I will describe more clearly here:

• if this is done via blog, the searchability issue is not addressed. I want it possible to search through all of these feeds
• This creates large friction. I want it to be possible for the user to publish a feed without the complexity of hosting

While I love the idea, many RSS users may not use Lemmy, and I would not want to restrict the use of this to lemmy users only. But for now, this seems to be the best existing option. Thank you!

what do screen recording softwares for wayland use under the hood then?

My issue with Friendica is it consumes more resources, making it much more expensive to host, especially at scale.

does OBS just do everything with ffmpeg, or does it introduce extra functionality?

You can do it for xmpp and Jitsi right?

So there is no way with Rsync (under ssh) to set settings (config file or other) that will apply to all clients !!??
So it’s the client that configure rsync and the server !? there is no way around ?!

You basically want to use the daemon but under ssh. I looked into this before, and I think it is possible but the command for it is weird and confusing. Wish I remembered it, but just commenting to say that I vaguely remember there’s a way (or maybe I’m hallucinating).

For that use case, there’s two things you can do:

1. Rent a seedbox
2. Have a local server for downloading torrents, and use a vpn

My torrent client is transmission. It has many ways to do what you ask.

First there’s a web ui which I can access from my pc or mobile. I can input the magnet link there and download.

Transmission also has an RPC client, and because of that many third party clients exist for it. Android apps, CLIs, etc. For all of which, i paste the magnet link and download.

EDIT: I believe Oracle cloud has something against P2P downloads, but I don’t remember what exactly.
