  • I am a Linux sysadmin (Redhat and fedora mostly) at a local university for over 20 years. I would be happy to help in any sysadmin tasks.

    I thought about setting up my own Lemmy instance. I’ve already set up my own matrix server and mastodon (gotosocial) server for only me, and I thought I’d give someone else’s lemmy instance a shot instead of building my own this time.


  • I installed mlem like 5 minutes ago, and have only been using Lemmy for about a week, so I apologize if I just don’t know what I’m doing :)

    When adding an account, the first field (Homepage) shows help text of “lemmy.ml”. I am using midwest.social as my server. If I type midwest.social there, login doesn’t work. I have to type the full URL with the scheme (as https://midwest.social) and then it works.

    Is it supposed to work without the scheme? If that is just some weird thing with midwest.social, then I guess <meh>, but if you are supposed to type the scheme there too, then I would suggest the help text reflect that to avoid confusion.
