Hi, yes, this is a very good server, no bias whatsoever 😊
We do Originals, Plus, and First content. Podcasts can be requested but I'll have to do those manually. Sometime soon we'll also be doing Curiosity Stream, HD nebula videos (non-exclusive content but higher bitrate than on youtube), and classes (whenever yt-dlp adds support for it.) Plus a bot to automatically do requests :)
I also have a release group there called iDoISO, where we do full ISO rips of 4K and BluRay discs and "lossless" MKVs (basically no encoding whatsoever.) We don't have a lot of releases for them right now (it's pretty pricey even for a few 4Ks) but I've put a lot of time and attention to each release, so please take a look :)
If you have any questions or feedback don't hesitate to reach out to me! (Either here, on Divolt, or over DMs!)
EDIT: oh also we have a discord server if you don't like Divolt, just know that all the links are under b64 and idoiso isn't on it.
Closest thing would be the Usenet, which is paid. (Decently cheap, but still.)
Seedboxes and DMCA ignore VPS's exist, which is how a lot of DDLs and streaming sites live. You can also encrypt it before uploading (although you'll have to decrypt it afterwards.) For archiving, Telegram has 2GB file limits but is free and unlimited total storage.
If you have dev experience you can get in touch with us over on Divolt :) Otherwise the best way to improve FMHY is to help with the wiki. We have a #to-do channel on our server which is a great starting point.
As for project ideas specifically for FMHY, I don't have any rn. We have a billion backups and projects like Divolt and Lemmy are additive (and really made for the whole community rather than just FMHY.) But maybe some of the other folks here have some ideas.
What's supposed to happen is that if you're the first person to look at a certain community, it'll start fetch all of the previous posts and start indexing everything. However, since kbin is separate from lemmy and the two are only communicating via global fediverse tech, it only indexes new posts. That's just my understanding though.
You could potentially run a backup site or a different lemmy instance, but that requires people possibly knowing your real IP and port forwarding (unless you use a VPN or port tunnel), technical knowhow, and constant uptime. If you don't mind ruining the PC, you could also test software / cracks on there. (Turn off your internet if you're planning on doing this.)
Honestly, the best way you can help is contributing to the wiki and helping people out in Divolt and on here. No extra computer needed.
Bought a Steam Deck and it arrived the day it went on sale 🥲
Ultrakill's on sale (not by much but still), probably the best FPS game out there. Go play it if you haven't. If you won't I'll ban you /s
Here's a fun drinking game: take a shot every time image uploads break.
You're best bet is to use an external host (catbox, imgbb, etc) for images in posts, and to leave icons / bgs empty. For whatever reason, uploading images on Lemmy can be pretty buggy and this is the best solution.
Also are there size limits (in pixels or kilobytes) for image uploads?
Not AFAIK but keep it under 10 MB if you wanna be safe.
