...and as solutions we have many companies who will do it all for you for $5/mo (more or less), the cost of running a basic cloud server. My time and energy in making sure my email is "always good" is worth paying $5/mo to let Fastmail handle the chore. $0.02

Honestly, I live in a timeline where we have openly corrupt Supreme Court justices like Clarence Thomas in our life. It is my opinion they will choose their own personal enrichment over the actual fairness of a situation. Dropping a case admits you were wrong and these folks don't want to be seen as making any mistake in judgement, it hurts their careers and personal enrichment.

The broken thumbnails over here have re-fetched (I don't run an instance to know how this works in detail), those broken yesterday in my screenshot above have self-healed and all (past) thumbnails looking great! thanks.

Everything you just posted for 18 Feb just minutes ago shows up fine over here, so it's... random. :-/

@m_f@discuss.online - seeing a lot of broken thumbnail pulls from lemm.ee -> discuss.online, there might be some server instance rate limiting going on. Did not happen when posted via sh.itjust.works by Seb etc.

Sunaraus (lemm.ee owner) has a thread about this somewhere in the lemm.ee Meta section, the broken thumbnails means the lemm.ee server could not grab the source image to generate a localized thumbnail of it for the post listing. Rate limiting between servers was mentioned as a frequent cause.

(this breaks the webUI Lemmmy experience for users such as myself who click the thumbnail to get an inline full image, a broken thumbnail causes the image to open as an external link instead)

I popped into irc.sdf.org and posted a comment in #helpdesk that it's offline, might get some eyeballs on it

I mostly just want to ensure mine is visible to others.

This is the tricky part - you will be remote-invisible until someone from the other instance(s) follow you for any of your content to show up in their Explore (hashtags, etc.) feed for other people to discover you. Pixelfed.social is the biggest hub by far so getting on that radar is key (much like joining a small Mastodon instance and you want to be "seen" on mastodon.social e.g. - same processes).

So you want to follow yourself from your pixelfed.social account to your own domain.com, so that your domain.com profile is seeded (federated) for other pixelfed.social users to discover as they browse. It's a hack but there's no other real way given how "opt-in" federation works, unless you have pre-existing friends on pixelfed.social who subscribe to your domain.com for you right away so you don't have to hack it to get started.

In addition to nifty.sh for UP as recommended, you might be interested in Conversations.im, an actively developed, well known XMPP client with mobile optimizations[1] to keep battery use low which can act as your UP broker (distributor) on the device. Note they talk about needing a proxy to convert message types at the bottom: https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/conversations/

[1] using two XEPs outlined on their site: https://conversations.im/#features -> Mobile optimizations

OP is referring to the community on realbitcoin.cash instance, not World.

Pixelix just showed up on F-Droid two days ago, the dev open-sourced their code just recently. I find it to be a "better" (subjective :) ) client than PixelDroid after testing it for a bit. $0.02 to any readers. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.daniebeler.pfpixelix/
