5·1 month agoPersonally I don’t trust myself with self-hosting something as important as photos. It would probably be fine, but I’m willing to pay for someone else to manage the infrastructure.
Very happy Ente user here! It’s a great alternative to Google Photos and Immich (since I think photos are too important to self-host).
They have an easy guide for migrating from Google Photos (basically they can import a Takeout export directly).

I’ve got it installed on my phone with automatic backups enabled. It had no issues with duplicates from both Takeout and the existing photos on my phone. (I even did the upload twice due to running out of space the first time, and there were no dupes). The app has a pretty similar design to Google Photos, so it feels familiar. It also supports Google’s version of “live photos”.
You can create links to share albums or individual photos, and you can also add people to your plan.
I enabled the local machine learning analysis and, while it’s not perfect, it does make for a pretty nice searching experience.
Thunder shows the mod for each modlog action.
I recommend listening to The Dollop episode about the New York Oysters. It’s crazy (as are most of their episodes!).

Don’t forget Playlet for Roku!
is anyone aware of how to properly link comments on lemmy?
As far as I know, there is no way right now. There’s some discussion of having a more agnostic identifier here, but seemingly no movement yet.
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987
The best you can get right now is using an extension like Instance Assistant for Lemmy, but that only helps you, not the person you’re responding to.
That said, if you use a mobile app (I use Thunder) it will usually handle post/comment links in-app, so it doesn’t matter what instance they link to.
Not yet. They’re supposedly “working on it”. This is the feature I’m most looking forward to.
Thanks for the explanation! I just tried the API passing my own user ID as the
creator_idand I seem to be getting back all messages. :( If they can add an endpoint or parameter to get a “conversation” (i.e., all messages incoming/outgoing to/from a specific user) then a chat-style interface would be much easier to implement!
Don’t messages sent by you come back in a list together with any received ones?
Oh wow, you’re right! Somehow I totally missed that. Even Thunder displays sent messages.
So you’re right. You could get all incoming messages from a specific user by passing
creator_idbut you just couldn’t get all the message you sent to a specific person without getting everything and filtering them.
I ran across a Flutter package that provides a cool chat style widget which inspired me to start working on this. But then I discovered that there’s no API call to retrieve your sent messages. So we could display all the incoming messages from each user like chats, but not sent ones (unless we remembered the ones we sent in Thunder, but that wouldn’t be everything).
That’s partly Lemmy’s fault for using a custom spoiler syntax. But yeah it sounds like Eternity doesn’t support it yet.
That said, there was an issue in their repo just recently closed, so it sounds like support is coming!
Like I commented above, I wonder if other spoiler tags work in Sync or if there’s something about the way this bot posts that breaks it.

What client do you use? It looks fine in Thunder. (I agree it’s spammy in general, but not because of the formatting.)
Adorable! Thanks so much for sharing.
