I make cold brew coffee for enjoyment at home, and savor every drop.
At work, the coffee just isn't the same.
Do I miss my cold brew while I'm in the office? damn straight.
Do I still get enjoyment from ready access to plenty of free mediocre coffee? damn straight. It's not amazing coffee, but it's fresh ground arabica bean, decent roast. If I'm honest about it, it's plenty good enough, and definitely beats having to go for a 5 minute walk to pay $6-8 for a cup of mediocre coffee.
this doesn't work effectively, too many lemmynsfw posts aren't tagging as nsfw, and wind up in the all feed.
cut the deck into manageable stacks.
shuffle the stacks.
cut each stack, and mix the other half with a different stack.
reshuffle each new stack
reassemble the stacks into a complete deck.
repeat as desired.
oof, this comic hurts so bad it's funny.
your first hurdle is installing a lemmy server locally. this is a mission on it's own, and I can be of zero assistance here.
your second hurdle is enabling port forwarding and making that server accessible from the internet. I'm going to assume you know how to do the 2nd. port foward dot com if you don't.
your third hurdle will be setting up dynamic dns. again, lots of choices here, and different tiers of service/support. I'm assuming this is enough to point you in the right direction, and your home router likely has built in support for a few providers.
I recommend tackling these hurdles in order, but they don't have to be done in order.
beehaw disabled downvotes, but other instances haven't. the sidebar said disabled downvotes encourages more active discussion, and prevents unpopular opinions from being silenced by a flood of downvotes. they want people to engage by saying "i disagree with you, here's why" instead of passively downvoting and moving on.
you should be able to see you the upvotes on your comments though.
some incorrect answers get upvotes ironically, often when the correct answer seems obvious. but I guess it depends on the type of question, and the sub

lots of tech companies scaled out (additional hires) to handle the increased traffic that covid lockdowns generated.
now that "covid is over", people are going outside and stuff, so tech companies are scaling down again.
not sure if it's possible for a user to block whole instances. it's an option for instances to denylist or allowlist other instances to federate with.
you can for sure block other communities though, if you come across any you don't want to see. it's not perfect, but it's a start.
maybe if someone else found a way they can share it.
publicity is good, but wish they would have taken two exta seconds to explain the nuance of the issue.
It's not just that Reddit will start charging for API calls, but that the price was outrageously high, extortionate even.
Many will read this article, and others like it, and automatically side with Reddit, because "it sounds fair that apps with heavy API usage should contribute to the cost", completely missing the part the Reddit is trying to bankrupt the third part app developers.
When you turn federation off, your users can only see activity and posts from your own instance.
Federation is what enable you to seamlessly interact with all the other instances. This can also be set at yhe instance level, to pick and choose which other instances your instance can talk to.
