Can someone demystify computer Ports for me? Please? Blocking, unblocking, opening, allowing, VPNs and their effect, what ports are and what they do, step by step, when you have to interact with them?

It's the one thing when I'm configuring things that makes me wince because I know it will give me the business, and I know it shouldn't, but it does, every time. I have no real idea what I'm doing, what it is, how it works, so of course I'm blindly following instructions like a monkey at a typewriter....

And when you go through the door, you must know the language to speak (the protocol) or you may be told to leave or ignored.

Just switch out to the sheep. Can always switch back later. You deserve it.

Sometimes I go to sleep listening to Soft White Underbelly interviews. There’s something wrong with me.

Side note: if you’re doing it for privacy reasons, I was reading that self hosting for just yourself will allow people to see what communities you subscribe to, based on what communities are visible on your server.

Nice! Do you have a link or model?

I can’t stop watching

I understand that if you are the first to subscribe to the community it will only pull down recent posts. Older posts may get synced later if there are new comments.

I’m only just learning Lemmy though, so hopefully someone with more experience can chime in.

You could try and comment on an older post and see if it the post gets synced with your instance. But in any case, all new posts should sync.

Another thing that could be effecting that is if you have Show Read Posts disabled in your user settings. That might explain why the number of posts went down.
