And I'm sure even lower, look at all those zeros! and that stupid header

I have a stupid overcomplicated networking script that never works. So every time i set up a new server I need to fix a myriad of weird issues I've never seen before. Usually I setup a server with a keyboard and mouse because SSH needs networking, if it's a cloud machine its the QEMU console or hundreds of reboots.

maybe something selfhosted? there's no shortage of servers in the community

it's not official, also the mod here seems to be inactive. but it's the biggest homelab lemmy I could find on https://browse.feddit.de/
I don't know where all the people from r/homelab have gone. some other subreddit that have closed have flooded into lemmy but r/homelab doesn't seem to have done that.

oh wow that's strange. I cannot imagine what they must have done in the nginx config to do that. I guess there isn't anything you can do until lemmy.ml fixes their IPv6 then. I just checked my logs and lemmy.ml isn't federating with my instance anymore. Thats very bad! Also explains the lack of content i've been seeing.
EDIT: Ok nevermind, lemmy.ml is federating with me. I just connect to it over IPv6

ahh, I think this is because lemmy.ml is down all the time from the load right now. if you unsubscribe and resubscribe when lemmy.ml is back it might fix it.

If you know how to use greasemonkey there is a script to make lemmy look more like old.reddit here Personally, it fixed a lot of the UI issues for me.
What do you mean by 3? you shouldn't need authorisation to join a federated community.

Don't worry, just my stupid bot being broken. !wave

What the hell, why is it replying outside of it's community

Look at the usernames in the replies to this comment

Nah, I can't see any reason to make more than one account.

The file you downloaded is a compressed JSON file, it's not something you can really just look at. But it contains all the data needed to build a nice UI around.
I don't know what OS you are on but on linux you can run zstd -d -c file.zst | jq . and it will print everything in the file. It's not really readable though. Also it doesn't have any of the media content, only the text
