Feel welcome to use this post for testing purposes, feedback on the instance and to say hi!

Since the playground model wasn't really that good (it prevents users from making things their home), I've decided not to announce this instance to be in playground/testing mode. Instead, i'll simply try to make it work and hope that it won't become an administrative nightmare.

However – things are looking quite good so far.

In the background i am currently trying to determine whether the current location is powerful enough midterm, if not, there will be a quick and quiet maintenance to move the thing to a more fitting place (looking at the potential upcoming wave from Reddit). Also there are some smaller things in the background still being worked on, but they shouldn't affect users.

tl;dr have fun, if everything goes well, this will be a permanent place for people to enjoy – i hope. 🚀

Hi, I'm a first time lemmy user. It's amazing what you set up at tchncs.de and I must say I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the choices. Thank you.

[–] WenAmon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Same here. This is a whole different world.

[–] gvasco@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for hosting this! Looking forward to participate in the communities here.

[–] UpsKaputt@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks Milan for setting this up! Works now from Jerboa for me :)

[–] wolf@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wie läuft das ab mit Communities, die hier nicht zu finden sind?? Z.B. https://lemmy.ml/c/hamradio Kann man die adden?

[–] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

normal ja, über die suchfunktion, siehe https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/1216 – allerdings ist das bei lemmy.ml zur zeit etwas holprig mit dem subscriben

ya, wenn du glück hast geht das nach paar versuchen

Ist noch pending.. Kein Ahnung..Mal schauen

Vielen Dank für das Bereitstellen dieser Instanz! Ich muss mich auch erst einmal eingewöhnen. Derzeit scheinen die Instanzen etwas zu ächzen – ein Post von mir in !literatur@feddit.de scheint in einer Endlosschleife zu hängen.

Verstehe ich das eigentlich richtig, dass im Prinzip auf jeder Instanz gleichnamige Communities erstellt werden können (die sich also nur durch die Domain unterscheiden)? Splittet das nicht zu sehr auf, oder setzt sich dann die Community einer Instanz meist durch und die User der anderen Instanzen abonnieren dann überwiegend diese eine? Das ist für mich noch ein kleines Mysterium. :)

[–] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Huhu und willkommen! Wenn etwas erscheint in einer Endlosschleife zu hängen bzw unendlich zu laden, kann das zwei Gründe haben:

  • Web-UI hat sich verschluckt, passiert beispielsweise in Firefox gerne mal (hier könnte ein Neuladen der Seite helfen)
  • Spracheinstellung des Post stimmt nicht mit der überein, die in der Community konfiguriert wurde. Hier haut das mit dem visuellen Feedback noch nicht so hin... im Zweifel testweise keine Sprache festlegen.

Verstehe ich das eigentlich richtig, dass im Prinzip auf jeder Instanz gleichnamige Communities erstellt werden können

Ja, das wird dann wohl die Dynamik im Fediversum über natürliche Auslese oderso lösen... 🤷

[–] honk@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Well...I somehow managed to miss that this existed. Good to see you guys here!

[–] feytor@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Hey everyone, I'm just looking at Lemmy for the first time. I'm still slightly overwhelmed 😁 But I had that at the beginning with Mastodon too. 😅

[–] ZeeKay@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still getting used to lemmy, was wondering if the sorting of comments was a thing you could change (permanently) user side or if it was server side? Also the auto-refreshing 'home page' that scoots everything down is bad on desktop. Not a whole lot of 'googleable' information yet on lemmy

[–] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Partially yes: https://discuss.tchncs.de/settings ... but i don't know about comments... consider asking in !lemmy@lemmy.ml or !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml... if anything, the impact on your request might be greater there :)

[–] koyu@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thanks for having me here. It's quite unfortunate what happened to lemmy.ml and I don't want this instance to face the same fate. I've been a tchncs user since the golden LSW days and had my first ever "fediverse" (diaspora) account and my first Mastodon account on here. tchncs really is at the forefront whenever it comes to federated technologies. Milan, you'll get a fair share of donations soon, I don't want this place to go away.

Have a test monkey!

Thanks for your kind words – Mastodon and Matrix survived, as of now i am confident that this instance will as well ... i hope ... 😅

@milan@discuss.tchncs.de @milan

I just tried to register, but I got a message that flashed up to the screen about email settings (and disappeared before I can read it) and some circle in a box is spinning at the bottom..

[–] milan@social.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@vfrmedia interesting ... changed something, didnt expect this to trigger a problem but yes email is not set up yet ... does it work now? @milan@discuss.tchncs.de

[–] vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@milan @milan@discuss.tchncs.de

I get a message when I try to log in "De registratie is in afwachting van goedkeuring." (registration is waiting for approval - for some reason everything Lemmy related comes up in Dutch on my browser and has done for some years 😁 )

[–] milan@social.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

@vfrmedia okey, thats progress, please hold the line... @milan@discuss.tchncs.de

[–] monkee@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Hallo und merci!

[–] Black616Angel@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Link mit Klammer Pls don't click, it lets jerboa crash!

[–] silmaril@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is great!

However I can't connect to https://discuss.tchncs.de/ using lemmy apps from F-Droid.

Both lemmur and Jerboa consider this URL to be no lemmy instance.

What could be the reason for this?

Is there some API option that needs to be activated on the server?

[–] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I sadly can't test android apps right now, but what i can say is that the Mlem iOS client does indeed work. Hmm 🤔

[–] FapFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Getting 'could not connect' on Mlem.. hmm. Using 'discuss.tchncs.de' in the Homepage field.

[–] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

are you trying your email as username? as of the recent release that doesnt seem to work anymore

[–] FapFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Username as username. Also, holy crap. Inline updates for comments? This is neat.

[–] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hm... since it throws that useless error on my example... maybe something else is wrong? maybe a space added to the password or uppercase/lowercase problem with the username?

[–] FapFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Got it. Password manager/integration issue. Was selecting the account from Bitwarden to fill the password field. Copying the value from BW directly and then pasting got me in. Weird.

[–] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

weird indeed as i am using bitwarden as well... for me its just watching out for the username...

[–] morrowind@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just logged in from jerboa. Lemmur is sort of abandoned right now so it might have it's own issues.

[–] silmaril@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Had the same problem on another device. It worked after removing 'http://' from the URL. It seems Jerboa just doesn't accept URLs in the instance field.
