Most of the Koopa kids were named after musicians
- Wendy O. Williams from the Plasmatics
- Iggy Pop from Iggy Pop & The Stooges
- Roy Orbison, the songwriter and rock & roll legend
- Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead
- Ludwig van Beethoven, obviously

YunoHost “packages” are just scripts. In the case of Lemmy, Lemmy_ynh’s install script actually fetches the Lemmy Docker image and extracts the files (including pre-built binaries) from it. And then it writes the config files to use the system Psql instance instead of a containerized version.
FWIW I don’t care how YunoHost installs the apps. Whether it’s fetching and running containers, or building from source, or grabbing binaries. As long as the apps work and the reverse proxy gets wrangled it’s fine with me. Just in this case refusing to run the Docker images directly is, at least momentarily, a problem for updating the app.
Well it is “working” for me. I’m using a YunoHost Lemmy 0.16.7 to type this comment :). But I agree there should be some kind of warning on the project that it’s only really partially working, and very outdated (thanks to the recent flurry in activity and changes).
Mainly though I wish YunoHost would just support Docker idiomatically and install Lemmy “as intended”. Yeah Docker can be a bit of a pain and it uses more resources, but it also has many real advantages like siloing the apps from the host system…
Were you able to migrate your database from an outdated YunoHost installation to a v18 Lemmy running in Docker? I like YunoHost but I’m considering the same move, as this old Lemmy version has a lot of incompatibilities and other issues.
The main blocker, at least so far, was Lemmy is designed mainly to use use Docker containers to version itself and its main dependencies like Postgresql, while YunoHost runs on the bare system. And since YunoHost is still on Debian 11 it only has access to Postgresql 13 while Lemmy now wants 15. This unfortunately is hard to resolve. YunoHost doesn’t want to introduce Docker, and upgrading the entire platform to Debian 12 is slowly happening but it’s a lot of work.
Because what Twitter really needs right now is less engagement.
If they really do shut off API access I’ll go into partial link aggregator withdrawal. My Lemmy instance still isn’t upgraded to the latest versions which are compatible with apps, so I don’t browse on my phone.
Quite a nice thing about Lemmy is modlogs are public: https://lemmy.ml/modlog?userId=738214
We’re on the Fediverse now. Our software has way better bugs.
Like capitalism in general, I believe copyright is a good thing in moderation. When those who profit from something want ever more, and those who rule let them, that’s when things go sour.
Nice setup. I grew up using classic macs. Powerbooks, Macintoshes, Powermacs. All such beautiful and functional machines (until an Error of Type 2 occurred anyway). I miss that era of being amazed at these wonderful computers, with seemingly new features every year. MIDI. CD-ROM. Netscape!
Aw man. Please tell me you are at least somehow monetizing my Personally Identifiable Information? That’s the minimum I would expect from a social media platform in 2023 😉
It’s good you keep putting this out there, and this messaging will have to continue. Lemmy really was not ready for this influx of users. Even Mastodon with a much longer history of active development was barely ready for its rapid growth.
This place is great regardless. Glitches and limitations and all. Thanks.
Their first album indubitably is my favorite, obviously.
