The article talk about a desktop version of Briar, but they only show an Android version:

I think you could use a Tor proxy on your server to avoid sharing your IP. Or use a VPN.

Passwords should never go unencrypted, shouldn't they? For example, my mail password doesn't travel unencrypted using using tls, etc. Nor my passwords travelling using https, do they?

So, are Lemmy passwords traveling unencrypted??

Sorry, I didn't see it! Enabled now in my instance. Thanks a lot!

Maybe I'm wrong, but this option seems an "only initial setup option", or at least that's what is at documentation:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html

So, I wonder if I can simply add it to my lemmy.hjson

Hi! I'm the administrator to collapse.cat instance. I wonder if I can change any setting to avoid spammers sign up in my instance...

You can use Flatpaks on other distros, for example on Debian. And also snap, etc.

For example G1 / libre currency, a social crypto who is not using PoW, just a simple method to create new money assign every real persona a fix little amount to create (web of trust). More info: https://duniter.org/

My personal alternative choice:

• Timewarrior (timew). (Terminal / CLI)
• Redmine StopWatch: https://www.redmine.org/plugins/stopwatch
• Gtimer (linux desktop app)

I use to do some work on open source paid by mu customers, but they never know about it :-) For example, if I need to translate some strings (l10n) I translate a bunch of strings, more than required, for community profits. The same if I'm helping to solve an issue...

But it's always a way to help open source projects just make a personal donation, as a developer, because our money is, in fact, the money our customers pay us (freelancers, for example).

Improvements on federation with Mastodon, etc. Right now posts on Mastodon have as author the user post, nor the community (but you are following lemmy communities, not users, because it is not possible follow users). So, when any Mastodon user want to follow these "new source" and follow the user of the tooth, nothing happens. And he is unable to follow the community! A furst workarround should be add a bottom line on the tooth like "follow this community at community_name@lemmy_instance.tdl "

Internationalization, i18n (not just l10n, localization). So, you can create communities only visible on a specific language, etc.
