As adjustments have to made regarding how this instance sends email, registration has been temporarily disabled. I can't really estimate how long this will take. Today I also updated the FAQ.

EDIT 20.06.2023: The problem is now fixed and registrations are open again.


Koska sähköpostien lähettämiseen tällä instanssilla pitää tehdä säätämistä, rekisteröinti on tilapäisesti poissa käytöstä. En voi oikein arvioida kuinka pitkään tässä kestää. Tänään päivitin myös UKK:ta.

EDIT 20.06.2023: Ongelma on nyt korjattu ja rekisteröityminen on taas auki.

For those interested in discussion here but not having an account yet can register to other instances such as Suppo for example.

Keskustelusta kiinnostuneet, joilla ei ole vielä tiliä voivat rekisteröityä muille instansseille kuten esimerkiksi Suppoon.

Menee vähän otsikosta ohi, mutta niinkuin nuoriso kuulemma sanoo niin slaidailin deeämmään eilettäin ongelmaan liittyen ja mistään käyttöliittymän uumenista en löydä historiaa että tuommoista olisin tehnyt. Lemmy ei alustana ole niin tuttu, niin arvelin nyt näin kommentin muodossa varmistaa että toimiiko tuo privaviestintä ollenkaan ja/tai että enkö vain osaa vai onko tuo toiminnallisuus vielä ns. vaiheessa?

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mene postilaatikkoon ja valitse Viestit. Sieltä löytyvät toisille käyttäjille laitetut ja vastaanotetut viestit.

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Noniin, kiitoksia. Vika löytyi taas kerran tuolin ja näppäimistön välistä.

[–] Eldbogi@sopuli.xyz 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I just want to say thank you and also let us users know if you feel like you want/need donations to keep the server running or for upgrades and stuff :-)

[–] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, transactional email service for password resets and message notifications isn't free. I'm all for paying a few USD a month; paying that now saves future me the hassle of having to find a new instance to join if this one goes down due to lack of funds.

[–] reverendsteveii@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

one of the things I used to love about my something awful account was that it wasn't free. It was $10 one-time, which is a pittance if you use it to any significant degree but it pays for stuff like automailers and other necessary admin shit and it raises the stakes of being a jerk.

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But forcing pay is not the way to make a platform grow. People will see a price on the internet and ignore it, unless something else (ad, suggesstion...) really tells you how good it is

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Also, payment systems are better these days but there are still a lot of people who would have the money but no way to transfer it for one reason or another.

Some sort of good, free level of service is good to have in most cases.

Thanks. As an upside, Lemmy is decentralized so anyone from other instances can participate in discussions here. Can't imagine how stressed I would be, if this was a centralized platform.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just out of curiosity, did you need to upgrade the server from the huge influx of new users, or does it still hold up? (You're a bless for us! ^^)

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Had to do several adjustments without rescaling, and there hasn't been any downtime today. Feels weird really!

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hmm glad to hear that. Just inform us bravely, whenever that pocket money cost will shoot above your spending threshold.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Currently there is no need to worry, the monthly costs with Sopuli are still within pocket change.

[–] Zippy@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you able to get some income via ads or such? I am new to Lemmy so still figuring it out. Moving from third party Reddit app that had some ads. Add that I were not obtrusive but paid there developer for his time. Feel if you can't monetize your services to some degree, will be difficult for people like you to maintain your servers as they grow so how there is some way to make it worth it.

Thanks for doing this by the way.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Ad income is an absolute nope. NOPE!

[–] ash@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

This! Thanks, OP & creator of sopuli :))

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

Nha, it means you are doing a good job!

[–] cavedude@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

Thank you for running this instance! It seems Reddit is going to continue to "digg" their own grave (hehe) so the users are going to continue to increase. We're definitely going to see another spike when they kill the API at the end of the month. As others have said, please setup a Patreon or something such so we can setup monthly donations. You're running the server, we should be the ones paying for it AND your time!

[–] stck@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oho! Toivottavasti saat korjattua pian. Mistä kyse?

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Liittyy sähköpostien lähettämiseen, niiden päätymiseen roskapostikansioon ja asian hoitavaan postfix-relayhyn. Tämä myös liittyy DNS:ään, DKIM-tietueeseen ja sen hitaaseen päivittämiseen.

Hyvä puoli tässä toki on, että Lemmy on hajautettu alusta, ja keskusteluihin Sopulissa voi osallistua myös muiden instanssien kautta. Jos kyse olisi keskitetystä alustasta, en edes halua kuvitella kuinka paljon olisin silloin stressaantunut.

[–] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Teknistä apua varmaan löytyy vähän sieltä ja täältä jos on tarpeen, minä mukaanlukien. Ei muutakuin rohkeasti viestiä jos on jotain spesifiä osaamista/kapasiteettia minkä kanssa voisi olla avuksi.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Itseasiassa ratkon ongelmaa jo muutamien tyyppien kanssa Matrixissa. Tosin tänä iltana ongelmaa ei ratkaista, on muita juttuja hoidettavana.

[–] oranki@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

xyz voi olla hankala TLD, olen lukenut että Google ja MS ainakin tuppaa herkästi laittamaan roskapostiin vaikka kaikki olisi muuten kunnossa.

Homma varmasti hoituu, mutta mulla on kans kokemusta sähköpostipalvelimen pitämisestä, jos tarvitsee apuja.

[–] eri@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ihmekös tuo, kun ovat niin halpoja. Ostin joskus vitsinä muutaman namecheapista noin 0.2€/vuosi.

[–] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Itsellä ollu xyz domaini parisen vuotta ja ensimmäinen vuosi oli todella halpa mutta kyllä se hinta nousee hieman sen jälkeen. Viimeksi näköjään maksoin 14$/vuosi.

[–] worthy@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Thank you - I appreciate the work you are putting into this.

[–] worthy@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Quick question - how does one support your work? Do not have a lot of disposable cash, but can send a little bit your way.

[–] asdf@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I registered 9 days ago and didn't get the email. Today still no email so couldn't log in, but password recovery worked! Thought I'd share if someone else is in the same boat and checks in here.

e: Still couldn't login because the email wasn't verified. Changed my email in settings, got verified and now it works. (You can use the same email with a + alias like this: address@example.com -> address+whatever@example.com)
