Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Oh wow you're totally right. I was just able to log into one that I had never heard from! Thank you, good call!

Mine definitely didn't work until I defined the IP, and I got that idea from reports that others had posted online haha. Not sure what we're doing wrong but there are dozens of us!

Good callout on the redundancy of the pull command, I didn't even think/notice that!

Ha, I applied to two smaller instances and have heard nothing but radio silence. The smaller instances are of no help if they don’t let anyone in.

Yes, apologies for not clarifying. It is an Intel Mac!

It just controls the list of server URLs you see by default.

Correct! However I’d like to test it with Cloudflare tunnel

How I self hosted wefwef on macOS with Docker (lemmy.world)
 

I posted this as a comment in the wefwef community but thought it might also be relevant here. If anyone is interested in self hosting wefwef this is how I did it on macOS:

Start by installing Docker desktop

Open Terminal and type in:

docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

Then, you need to use a Docker run command like below to get things started. In this example, I put my local IP in as "192.168.1.2" but you'll need to adjust that value to whatever your machine's IP is.

docker run --rm -d -p 192.168.1.2:5314:5314 -e "CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS=lemmy.world,sh.itjust.works,lemmy.ml" ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

At that point, I went to my iPhone, opened Safari and went to 192.168.1.2:5314 and boom, there's wefwef. Install this as PWA and name it (local) or something to differentiate it from the normal wefwef and you're good to go.

Disclaimer: I’m brand new to all of this so I’m sure this isn’t the best way. But it got me started, so I wanted to share.
