If you post a link, that’s already been posted in another community, it shows the post as cross-posted.

That would probably be the platform with the highest number of followers and/or with highest number of users. You can see that at the bottom of the /about page.

The closest you can get to a Discord alternative is Revolt, which also can be self-hosted.

Ninite.com

I use Lemmy almost exclusively. Mastodon and Twitter never appealed to me, as I simply don’t see the point. Unless you use it for receiving info from local authorities and such.

I do still use Facebook for all the local and niche communities, which you can’t find anywhere else. I wish Mobilizon was more equal to Facebook Groups and had an actual mobile app.

Uhmm ignore the mailbox then?

Guild Wars 2. I like that my progress in the game will always matter and that it’s free to play, once you’ve bought it.

I’m pretty sure revolt.chat is still going? I am using it.

You can set the allowed file size to be really low, but users will still be able to upload, or at least attempt it.

It could be interesting running Matomo Analytics on my Lemmy instance, with consent of course.

Do you have some of the links? The culprit could possibly be my instance.

Public to everyone? The channel owner can see who has subscribed. I think the same is the case on YouTube.

Don’t know about an API that perhaps can access that info.

I host peertube.wtf and make sure the instance follows as many other instances as possible. I’ve also enabled global search, so that you can get search results from every instance on the list at instances.joinpeertube.org.

I’ve also made the front page of my instance, show some of the interesting channels to follow.

Content on PT is sparse though. It needs more content creators AND users.

You can also follow a PT channel from Lemmy.

I use iCloud and Sia.

Well actually the cloud is just another computer, which in fact is what you would have to use if using SyncThing 🤓🤓🤓

There’s plenty of official stores on Ali and a rule of thumb is to stay away from “no name” products and products that are obvious copies of other brands.

It’s the redundancy. So a file exists at 4.2 hosts on average. The minimum is 3, which is something you set yourself.

I have been using it for about 6 months now. no issues.

I currently only use 163.92 GB @ 4.2x of storage though and renting out about 2TB of storage.

It is actually fairly easy to setup. Both hosting and renting.
