Why is it so annoyingly hard to set up a Fediverse node? (feddit.de)

Everyone (and their mother) have been trying to convince me that I should use one of my less loaded servers to be a Fediverse node. However, all Fediverse software packages I checked only support being installed on complicated systemd + Docker machines. My servers don't have either of those, because neither systemd nor Docker even exist on OpenBSD and illumos.

I know that it would be possible to manually install (e.g.) Lemmy, assuming that I won't ever need official support, but I wonder why the world outside a limited subset of the Linux ecosystem is - at most - an afterthought for Fediverse developers.

How can I help to change that?

Ugh, I wanted to make a few sublemmys but if it's that much work, forget it. One thing that's lacking around here are the shitposting subreddit equivalents. r/Copypasta, r/shittyaskreddit, r/okbuddyretard, that kind of thing.

Exactly, bring in the shitposting and porn subs and Lemmy will flourish.

[–] nachtigall@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Porn is kinda difficult. There are probably few people who want to moderate and more importantly be liable for pornographic content hosted on their servers. Many Hoster also explicitly forbid adult content.

Not impossible but someone would have to do it ^^

I could also totally see something like naughtyverse.xxx as domain name.

Will probably be defederated though.

[–] nachtigall@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right. Lemmy would need at least an option for admins to not show content from certain instances in the All feed. And overall more sophisticated tools for moderating remote content (e.g. side wide mods that aren’t as powerful as admins but still can remove federated posts)

@nachtigall @tux0r Mastodon has quite a bit of functionality that makes life easier in regards to modding. I don't know how Lemmy performs there.

On /kbin you can flag your content as 18+/NSFW when adding it. You can also flag your magazine (equivalent of Lemmy community) the same way, when creating it.
