Hey everyone, I applied to be part of the moderation team and this is my introduction :
I’ve been working as a system administrator for roughly a decade. I like to keep things tidy and well maintained, and I’m a big proponent of open source and open data. My current Lemmy account is fairly new, but that because I switched from a previous account that is 4 years old (see my Lemmy bio). I’ve also been a Reddit moderator on a sub of roughly 100k users before I mostly gave up on Reddit. Here’s my OSM profile.
Contributing to OSM feels like to me as a great way to contribute to my local area by keeping things up to date, and by offering a good alternative to the commercial players like Google and Apple Maps.
If you need some help on how to update or publish some data on OSM feel free to ask, and we’re always open to suggestion :)
There are clear benefits from hosting and controlling the instance, but then you need to dedicate resources to moderation if you can’t find enough volunteers.
That way it greatly reduces the amount of users trying to brigade a vote. Can’t do much against sleeper/inactive accounts subscribed just for that purpose, but that at least require some planning.
With the ability to limit the poll to users of a specific instance and/or subscribers from a community (that were subscribed prior to the poll’s creation).
Make sure the time and timezone is correctly set on your device, TOTP is time-dependent and both the server and the smartphone needs to have the same time in order to validate the code.
Lemmy uses SHA256 instead of SHA1 like most other websites using TOTP. Honestly I’m not sure Google Authenticator supports it, as I don’t see the option when attempting to add a key manually.

The classic small business trying to save some pennies by cheaping out on the important stuff like backups, despite several attempts at reasoning them, by ultimately ending up crumbling after a system failure.
You can also use ghe YaRSS2 plugin to monitor RSS feeds with torrent files/magnet links and have each rule downloads to a specific directory. Quite useful for TV shows.
The link starts with otpauth://, which will likely do nothing on desktop. Either click on it from a mobile device, or on desktop you can use an addon like Offline QR Code Generator (Firefox), then right-click the link and select QR code from link. This will show a QR code you’ll be able to enroll in any TOTP app. Hopefully they’ll add an option to display a QR code when using the desktop interface in newer versions of Lemmy.
