I now understand why Lemmy is called "link aggregator" software

Gotcha. I like that approach. Thanks!

I've never used object storage before, so I'm not even sure that's the best approach for the use case. It makes sense when you need to access storage provided by a 3rd party in a standardized way, but perhaps it's overkill when everything is self hosted. I wonder if folks have other ways to connect the application to remote storage that's less "heavy." That said, I will certainly dig into Minio, as it seems to be the best of breed. Thanks!

Self Hosted Remote Storage (lemmy.world)
 

I would like to stand up some self hosted applications that need a significant amount of storage behind them. I'm thinking pixelfed/immich and peertube for now. The intention is to provide a place for my family to store and share photos and videos in an easily accessible place. I would also like to load it up with a long history of media we've already accumulated, adding up to about 1TB. I would prefer to host the front end application on a VPS so that I'm not having to rely on my home ISP to serve everything (blocking standard ports and such). However, I want to use the storage I have available at home. Bandwidth is not an issue (500Mbs synchronous). I know these applications can be set up to use object storage from various providers. Has anyone set up self hosted object storage? If so, any recommendations? Another option may be to create an IPSec tunnel or something between the VPN and the home storage to provide file-level access. Perhaps that would perform better? I don't really want to pay a fat monthly fee for storage when I already have everything stored at home, but I don't want to host the applications directly from home either. Thinking others have already solved this. Thanks for your input!

Shouldn't all the instances show the same community content? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Ah it didn't occur to me that mods at various instances may be removing individual comments. Can an instance moderate the individual thread comments of a community from another instance? I was thinking that federating with another instance meant all that instance's threads and comments would be available to your users in turn. If that's not the case, then the only way for a user to be sure to get all of a community's content is view it from that community's home server

Having multiple communities in different instances for the same topic is a controversial topic that I haven't yet settled on an opinion about. However, what I'm talking about here is that the content for the same community shows different across various instances. That seems very broken to me

I understand how instances that don't federate with another instance won't show content, but I've checked a bunch of instances. Could it be that beehaw, lemmy.one, reddthat, lemm.ee, and feddit.de have all defederated from lemmy.world? They all have a different mix of content

Here is their post about it:

Yeah I saw that about beehaw, so that's not unexpected. It's actually what prompted me to look at how the community appears differently there, and then to look at how it appears elsewhere. Pick any lemmy instance and look at the sysadmin.world community from it, and it looks different than lemmy.world. I just looked at https://reddthat.com/c/sysadmin@lemmy.world/ and there too it only shows 6 comments.

Pick any community and any number of instances and look at the community from several instances, and I see differences. I thought federation would make the same content show everywhere that is federated.

I'm learning about the Fediverse and am confused about how federation is supposed to work. I understand that there can be communities with the same name in different instances, with different content. But I also understand you can subscribe to another instance's community. For example, there are sysadmin commnunities at lemmy.world, lemmy.one, and beehaw.org (among others). If we focus on one specific community, let's say sysadmin@lemmy.world, we can find that community from any of the instances. If I go to each instance and look at sysadmin@lemmy.world from each one, I can see the same pinned post is at the top of each one instance's view ("Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees!" by DarraignTheSane).

Great!

However, if I look at that pinned thread from each of the three instances, the comment stream is different. The post itself is the same, but the comment thread is a mixed bag. Some comments seem to appear in multiple instances while others only in one or two, but never all three

lemmy.world shows 11 comments lemmy.one shows 6 comments beehaw.org shows 4 comments

On lemmy.world, the second newest comment says "Nice! It feels like home." This comment also shows up on lemmy.one however not on beehaw

The newest comment on lemmy.world says "yeeey" but doesn't appear in any other instance's view of sysadmin@lemmy.world

This is just one specific example. Are you not supposed to get the same content, when looking at the same community, regardless of what instance you are logged into when viewing it? Or am I missing something?
