  • That’s probably because in your instance no one has manually joined any community on lemmy.ml, and since no one has joined the local server has not created a “local” or federated version of that community. Still, you can do it manually but you will need to login to your Lemmy account in a browser, no matter if it is on desktop or mobile.

    Now, the “manual” method sucks and I just know it because I was one of the first to join Lemmy when the Reddit drama happened, but that’s the way it is:

    Suppose I am a user of lemmy.dbzer0.com I want to join the community c/kde in the instance lemmy.kde.social, to do that I need to adjust the URL of my community in a special way, which is like this:

    https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

    If you try to enter that link for you who are a lemmy.kde.social user you will probably get a meaningless error, but for any lemmy.dbzer0 user it will open the c/kde community from their own instance, allowing them to join c/kde even from their instance.

    The syntax is like this:

    https:{your instance url} c/ {name of the community} @ {url of the instance you wanna join}

    Now, to make things easier for you, just click here to enter (from a web browser) and subscribe to the ubuntu community at lemmy.ml and here to see the kubuntu community at lemmy@ml, let me know if it doesn’t work, at first you may not see posts because your instance needs to load.






  • It looks absolutely great and I will download it, but I have a question, what advantage does it have, for example, to use this instead, for example, to open Okular to view a PDF?

    I suppose it has the advantage of not opening a complete program like an office suite to take a quick look at a file.

    And thanks for considering posting on Lemmy! I have no idea if you shared it on Reddit or if you use it, but I suppose that 90% of developers prefer to share their creation there because there is more public there.


  • I didn’t mean to make it sound bad, although now that I read it again it sounds bad.

    With “archaic” I wanted to refer to the fact that it is not necessarily the most efficient in my opinion, because for example in the case of Nextcloud, to synchronize my Keepass directory with a directory on my phone I need an external app called FolderSync and there is no “Synchronize when detecting changes” option, every time I make a change I must manually synchronize or wait for a scheduled synchronization to take place, and it is not exactly the most efficient, unlike with Bitwarden/Vaultwarden because synchronization is immediate.

    And I know that in KeepassDX for example I can directly access my database and load it from there, but every time I make a single change when entering Keepass it says that “I lost connection to the file” (Something like that) and I have to go manually and choose the file again, I would prefer to have my passwords always in sync.
