I got a reply to a 9.5 year old comment two days ago…

just admit you were wrong. It’s ok.

Thank you for this post. I was hoping I could ask you a couple of questions because I also had to make some modifications to get Lemmy up and running. I don’t have email yet because my isp blocks post 25 and I haven’t gotten around to requesting an unblock yet.

I see you’ve modified your hjson file to use gmail. The default config syntax for email is:

email: {
    smtp_server: "postfix:25"
    smtp_from_address: "noreply@{{ domain }}"
    tls_type: "none"
  }```

My question is, can I just drop in your email syntax with my information and the instance will use gmail instead of the default?

This got me working, but, for anyone who comes across this, the file to edit is lemmy.yml, and you drop in ghcr.io/ubergeek77 for dessalines. The only hurdle once I did that was installing docker-compose on the pi. Unfortunately you can’t just install docker-compose with pip3 install docker-compose. Follow these instructions to install docker-compose. https://dev.to/elalemanyo/how-to-install-docker-and-docker-compose-on-raspberry-pi-1mo

Then just run the ansible playbook.

I was able to install lemmy just now on the rpi. I used ubergeek77’s stuff.

Wow, okay let me try that. I wish you had been around earlier! Thank you so much.

I saw it but I don’t know how to use it.

I’m going to see if I can get it working on ubuntu 22 first.

That was a problem that I had at one point and then I then reflashed the 64-bit Raspnberry Pi OS (no longer called raspnbian which I didn’t know). When I run uname -a I get aarch64…

The specific error I’m getting is this:

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "errors": [], "module_stderr": "", "module_stdout": "0.18.2: Pulling from dessalines/lemmy\n", "msg": "Error: pull failed with no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries"}

What I like about this is that this used to be a paid feature of reddit or only available in mod subs. Lemmy made it the default.

Cool. I didn’t really want to make a patreon account.

You’re doing a great job so far. Thanks for the update.

make it so

How do I gild this comment?

I’ve noticed that some of the pieces that make up RES are already out there, they’re just not part of one extension. I do expect that will happen at some point in the near future.

You are a legend for this.

Thanks for posting the userscript. I’m seeing lots of RES type features like this and hoping they’ll be rolled into one at some point.

On r/politicalhumor and r/madlads, the answer is yes. But you need subreddit karma to log mod actions. There is a bot running in those subs which facilitates it.

why crosspost?

I’m new to Lemmy and trying to learn how everything works. Also yeah I made everyone on r/madlads and r/politicalhumor a mod via the Mod Democracy Bot.

This would be incredible. I’ve already been directing other redditors here with a screenshot of the mlmym front end.
