I'm not doing a publishing platform really. And I can't seem to get email going. I've tried with MailerSend and while I know I can send email, through swaks, Ghost just won't. Someone told me it only uses MailGun, which I attempted to set up and after 2 days the DNS verification didn't go through, even though I konw for a fact it was there. And at this point I really don't want lock in to a specific service if that's true.

That looks really nice! Thank you for the recommendation. Still trying to figure out what to use. :-)

Very sad. Good luck in whatever you do.

I'm looking and I'm not seeing a troll. I'm seeing someone that's looking for help and seems to not really understand a lot of what's around them buddy. And yes, I'll defend people.

Why are you spending so much time responding aggressively to people.

And yes, I kind of assumed it was your instance.

If the person is a troll, then ignore them. Why do you feel you have to attack them? You're not defending anyone by putting someone else down. Just because you don't understand them, doesn't make them a troll.

Downvotes are because a lot of folks are against ChatGPT and LLMs. We're going through MANY information transitions in the last 40 years and yet another holy grail is difficult to swallow. If you want to ask ChatGPT that's fine, but I'm trying to get folks to foster the Fediverse and make it more welcoming, more valuable, and heck just help people find us. Use the tools you want, absolutely. But we also need to find ways to help promote the Fediverse.

Hey thanks! Just a point of advice starting a conversation with "that's fucking stupid" isn't exactly seen as useful or helpful information. I'm just attempting to start conversations and help promote the fediverse so that it continues to grow. If you want to offer any helpful advice instead of being negative, that's be great.

Kalvin I recommend you just block people and if their instance harasses you you can report them. While they might own their instance your instance, Lemmy.world might ban their entire instance and then they're totally gone.

Here's a thought, maybe not harass someone? Try to be kind and compassionate? You have 3 people on your instance, so I imagine that's just you or a friend's. Kalvin could of and looking at the comments here alone, should have, reported you to Lemmy.world and they could ban your entire instance. So why not just try to actually get along with folks?

Wow so surprising, never saw this coming, this is my surprised face. :-l

OH! LOVE THIS! Thank you KAGI!

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 2 points 11 hours ago

Thank you! I shall look into that!

I'm a sysadmin by trade, I just don't know the HTML and CSS stuff. :-D Thank you very much for the detail response though! That's great for folks to find and learn! :-)

 

I was looking at Christine Lemmer-Webber's Wikipedia page and had a thought that it should show her Fediverse handle.

I know nothing about Wikipedia, I know community can edit it.

Anyone have any thoughts about looking upbyour favorite Fediverse stars and adding their Fediverse handle to Wikipedia?

I know George Tekai is active on Wikipedia, seems like an easy onboarding to Fediverse. Here's all the wiki info about George oh and HERE is where he's active on the Fediverse.

I think we need to start slipping these kinds of things everywhere so it starts people clicking. Will it be huge, probably not, but each little click can turn into a tsunami eventually.

 

I'm starting a NonProfit Fediverse powered business called BT Free. I was thinking of making my homepage built on Ghost, but due to some of it's choices, I'm looking for something else.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a self hosted, possibly fediverse powered, software for creating a simple clean efficient business website landing page that explains who we are, what we're doing, etc. I am NOT a designer so something with templates or can hold my hand would be wildly helpful.

I was thinking maybe a static site generator maybe?

Anyone have ANY thoughts or suggestions? Remember there are no such things as bad ideas or comments!

 

I was discussing this on another post and when we're doing internet searches for any kind of information I feel we should be discussing that on the Fediverse or bringing back the info to the Fediverse.

But some folks brought up some excellent points that Kagi has a Fediverse bang.

I run SearxNG and asked in their Matrix channel: https://matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org

possiblemeatball pointed out that SearxNG also has a Fediverse !bang . If you go to Preferences - Engines - Social media there are bangs for lemmy comments, lemmy communites, mastodon hashtags, etc. We need to be leveraging this!

What other search engines foster the Fediverse?

I was just pointed to https://fedi-search.com/ which seems awesome, but I haven't leveraged YET!

 

I just now realized I have access to Proton Docs. I've been a Proton user for years at this point and it does keep getting better and better, though I do have some gripes about some of their stances.

I've paid for StandardNotes for a while now. Anyone know how Proton Docs are and if you could replace StandardNotes?

Anyone know if there's an Import / Export between?

Anyone know if there's a Proton Docs Android App or if it's coming?

 

I was just thinking about this, when I'm facing an issue, the first thing I do is go to a search engine and usually there's a Reddit post. But I don't want to ask there. And the only way we're going to build up the info for folks to find us and come here is for us to just start asking here. On the Fediverse. We need to build up that mountain of knowledge that Reddit has and will always have. So we should be championing ANYONE asking questions here. Even if we think it's obvious and we think you can just Google it. There was a time where you literally couldn't just Google it. That was built over time. We need to build that here. So start asking your questions here! Find the answers and then post your answer to your own question. Or let someone do it for you. We need to build the knowledge here to be found. It's not just about people looking for alternatives. We need our knowledge to be more valuable than their knowledge.

 

LinkStack looks like it hasn't been updated in 2+ years. Any self hosted alternatives anyone recommends?

Maybe even a static site generator?
