Trying to use Gerboa for Android for the first time, and so far I've been unable to login.

I entered "monero.house" for the instance, along with my username (hexachrome) and my password. However I get a toast message saying "Incorrect login" each time.

Any suggestions for me?

Solved: I’ve been using NextDNS on my phone, and one of the threat lists was blocking Monero.House. I whitelisted the domain and was then able to login.

I don't know if you'd have to offer mod positions to the existing r/monero moderators, build bots to feed data in so that there's more going on here, put this site in the sidebar there or what, but now's our chance to rid ourselves of dependence on that awful company.

Everyone's mobile apps for reddit are about to stop working. Lots of people are going to be looking for an excuse to ditch the site, and if their must participate communities are still there this will blow over and reddit will continue to dominate online communities and run roughshod over them. You don't need the big useless communities to move, you need the niche ones that you can't currently get anywhere else, such as this one, to move. If I could have the level of discussion relating to Monero here (or anywhere) that I have there I would never touch that site again. Monero is literally the only reason I visit that site. I'm sure it's the same for a lot of people, with regard to other communities.

Hopefully we can do github next.

From what i can tell the "all" feed is identical to my "subscribed" feed. If true that makes it quite likely that i am the one responsible for subscribing to most of the remote communities

House was started in part to have a backup in case reddit bans Monero or otherwise goes to shit (looks like it will) but also from my horrible experience fighting ai-bot-comments that look just about human at first glance but add zero value.

Because of the latter, monero.house was only federating with very few other lemmy instances and puts a lot of emphasis on verifying that every single user is really human.

By now I have learned a lot more about how Lemmy works and cleared up the concerns I was having about ressource usage when federating (it is apparently close to zero) as well as concerns regarding moderation.

With that being said:

monero.house

now has open federation.

I'll evalute how this affects our little Monero Lemmy instance over some time but for now it seems like a very positive change. Due to the increase in content brought from federation, there is now finally a reason to check house more than once per day 😅

For people who dont care about anything but Monero, the "local" tab should still be largely the same experience as before, with the only difference being that people from other instances can now comment on posts made here.

The sign-up process will also stay the same so you'll always know you are most likely talking to a real person when they dont have another @-symbol+ domain behind their username.

Should this for some reason not work out, we can always silo the instance again but I'm optimistic about this change.

I'm getting no results when I search on monero.house for a community that lives in another lemmy instance. Why?

According to the documentation:

• https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/01-getting-started.html

You can find more communities by browsing different Lemmy instances...When you found a community that you want to follow, enter its URL (e.g. https://feddit.de/c/main) or the identifier (e.g. [email protected]) into the search field of your own Lemmy instance. Lemmy will then fetch the community from its original instance, and allow you to interact with it.

I did this on our monero.house instance (eg searching for https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy or https://lemmygrad.ml/c/worldnews), but I get no results

Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

Is there a designated community on this server for folks to introduce themselves after joining?

This is barely worth mentioning but if you are curious, the site was down for a bit under an hour just now. The droplet running it had to be power-cycled, after which everything worked again. Currently lemmy has a memory leak somewhere and runs out of RAM every few days. Usually it recovers by restarting unhealty containers itself but it seems like that didn't work today.

Long time fan. Beyond excited to see a dedicated Monero community in the Fediverse!

That's all I have to say :)

Testing federation from Pleroma

Excited to decentralize the web :)

@meta

I'm still figuring things out myself but this is what I know so far:

You can load a post/community/etc. from a link to another instance by pasting the link in the search bar. For example searching https://links.hackliberty.org/post/317 created https://monero.house/post/75.

After our instance becomes aware of a community or post, they will show up under the "All" tabs. Searching for content monero.house is still unaware of can take a few seconds so please be patient.

The "local" tabs continue to only include what is directly posted to monero.house

Let me know what you think of this :)

The upgrade removed some style-options so now we have this ugly one as default. I suggest changinge your theme to darkly-red in your profile settings since I want to keep the default in light theme. I'll look into setting up a customized style theme instead of this ugly red :P

Expect downtime today as I'm attempting to update the instance to the newest lemmy version.

Resolved. Updrade was a success.

Well, the instance is live 🎉

User signups have so far worked rather smoothly but I'll investigate the feasability of adding e-mail support so people are notified once they have been approved.

There is still work to be done, here is a non-exhaustive list:

• Create a basic ruleset
• Create a basic FAQ about the instance itself
• Appoint moderators to communities
• Custom CCS
• ~~Update instance to lemmy 0.17.X~~
• ~~Add legal stuff~~
