I can share my experiences, when i was looking for nsfw communities where there would be conversations/discussions around topics of kink/power exchange etc. it was a difficult search. Most nsfw discord guilds lack a well defined purpose, they are often built around the pursuit of quick gratification rather than exploring kinks/sexuality in a more comprehensive way. There were a few healthy communities but they were in a different part of the world and the cultural differences were huge. I wish people would build communities around conversations instead of just sharing porn/gifs.

@sbird there is a bot i use with discord which has many such games, you can self host the bot but it works with discord. Not a 100% self-hosted solution but you may find it useful.

+1 for mailcow, i’ve been running my mailserver for over 2 years now, very efficient, no hassle setup.

@haverholm Since you mentioned hubzilla i should point you to a project i maintain which is about creating new themes for it. you can take a look at https://utsukta.org/channel/utsukta-themes and preview some themes i have created so far for it(sidebar menu). Some are still in development but my goal was to make hubzilla a better CMS which could compare to wordpress for traditional blogs.

@Skavau Dust Bunny was a fun watch. didn’t expect to see Mads fighting a monster under a little girls bed.

The platform I use currently (hubzilla) has support for shops, but it works through its own zot protocol, but I feel this can be extended to activitupub. It is federated currently but only on the networks that support openwebauth. Maybe the technical minded would know better about this.

i see. there are other friendica successors (hubzilla, forte, streams) which have forum support. Like hubzilla has support for forums [e.g. #^[1](https://hubzilla.org/channel/adminsforum)] which is what you are looking for.

Friendica has groups #^[1](https://wiki.friendi.ca/docs/groups-and-privacy)

@m0ondoggy i get my list from github.com/iptv-org/iptv

Another i admire with frindica and its family (hubzilla is mine) is how they implemented groups, if i make a post on a group it doesnt get delivered to every one of my connection, it only goes to the community and people in it. On the other hand i can make a post on lemmy using my hubzilla account but it will show up in every one of my followers timeline since it is by default a public post.

great recommendation! i can always watch it again. Existence of horrors that the human mind cannot possibly comprehend is a horror in itself.

have you watched ‘talk to me’?

Would highly recommend:

• Flame and Citron for historical interest. Its about two guys who are part of Danish resistance movement fighters during Nazi occupation of Denmark.
• Another Round for their take on life, its about a group of friends trying to find the sweet spot of being drunk the right amount, its a bittersweet story which is just brilliant all around.

To skip if you really have to:

• The green butchers is also fun, comedic and morbid, you’ll end up empathizing with the characters even though they are really weird! In a similar vein Flickering Lights is a light watch which is a sweet story about a bunch of friends who find new meaning in life together.
• Arctic, the door can be skipped if you really have to choose otherwise i’d watch them too!.

I’ve been watching movies with Mads Mikkelsen in them, watched Another Round (2020), Arctic (2018), Flame & Citron (2008), The Green Butchers (2003), Flickering Lights (2000) and The Door (2008) so far.

Everyone has already recommended friendica, but there is also hubzilla which is a fork of friendica and has much more. Its relatively unknown but very powerful, also there is this family of platforms that are for smaller communities for facebook alternative, friendica, hubzilla, streams, forte. You might want to give these a try, friendica is the oldest but others have evolved and have better ui/features and superb privacy controls.

oh this recently happened to me. but nothing much was lost, users were managed with SSO, files were unaffected, barely an inconvenience.

my cats! best company ever! so playful, carefree and loving!

reddit still has rss feeds. You have to use the old reddit links, like <#^[1](https://old.reddit.com/r/science.rss)>

The best use case for RSS for me is getting updates from journals and github releases. Also subscribing to youtube channels feeds is convenient since i dont have to visit their website regularly and can just watch the channels that im interested in.

@plankton I’ve added the same to mine and it works for me.
