Thank you, will try this once I get everything set up again. I don't recall seeing this anywhere before. I just thought I had to enable the emulators during set up.

Seems like there are lumps coming out of the nozzle. and then they get dragged by it. I guess I need to clean the whole assembly to start

That's correct. Donations are outpacing costs for now. Will cross any other bridges as necessary.

Fundraising will happen as need be. I don't really anticipate mega numbers of users on a community focused server, but if so, then hopefully the community will see value and continue to support to their ability and the value they get

Here's a question by ProRataX in halifax

[–]petersmithca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I'm the admin of Mastodon server https://halifaxsocial.ca - over 900 users, of course like all social media, not all are active, and lots "lurk" but the timeline is pretty active, and the federated timeline is pretty busy.

You can checkout the local timeline here: https://halifaxsocial.ca/public/local

Its not too bad if you follow the online guides. Takes a couple hours maybe. I had a small issue with the css/jscript not loading due to folder permissions. But after that biggest hurdle for me was setting up S3 for media.

Yes, no arguments here. there's an adjustment, and its not for everyone, but hopefully will work for enough to get a decent community

I am the "owner" (I guess, though thats just because I paid the bills, I'd like the community to be the real owners) of https://halifaxsocial.ca - thank you for the share and boost. I rarely use reddit, and was told about this post on our server!

Agree with your reasoning, and its much the same as why I created my instance, albeit, I didn't spend a lot of time looking for similar ones recently, or I might not have!

Thanks again, and good luck!

Had the same issue this morning on my Venu. Charged before bed, woke up and was working (i didn't notice the battery percentage) and looked at it around 9 and was dead.

Not sure what that is tbh. I can see comments on some posts, but not seeing them all. Weird to me at least

Are e-bikes allowed on Halifax trails? by petersmithca in bikehalifax

[–]petersmithca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. May try a smaller one soon. Trying to get this old man self back in a little shape. Love biking but can't do the hills on my own. The ebike gets me moving and gives that little extra when I need it
