The existing feature is that only subscribers will see it in feeds, but it can still be searched for or viewed manually. It’s not a private community feature. I’m just planning to add front-end access for the feature that already exists, so that admins don’t have to do API calls to use it.
I’ll see if there’s any existing discussions about private communities while I’m at it though, it might be something the main devs have an opinion on or plan for.
This actually already exists, it’s just not in the UI yet. Hiding communities can be done via the API. I was planning on putting in a PR to expose the functionality on the front-end at some stage.
It’s absurd how much better it makes the vacuums to use. Interaction through the Web UI is just instant, instead of having to bounce to servers halfway around the world before acting on it. It’s the primary decider of which vacuum I consider now.
Up and down votes are federated with your username, along with posts and comments (obviously).
Clicking on links, favourites, email address (if you put one in when signing up), password and IP address are all only on your local instance.
Basically, unless another server needs to know about it for federation to work, it’s going to be local to the instance you’re using.
If you want to avoid it happening, you can add a healthcheck to the postures service. Have a look online for docker healthchecks for postgres. That’ll let it ensure it’s actually ready to receive queries before dependencies start up.
How are the Trådfri bulbs? I haven’t tried them out yet. It’d be good to have a cheaper option.
The thing that really helped me was using my philips hue bulbs with my zigbee device directly instead of through the hue hub. That made the mesh network extend to the entire house instantly, because the lights have constant power and act as repeaters automatically.
I’m using an Electrolama zzh with an extension cord and it works perfectly, because there’s essentially 1-4 repeaters in every room.
5 gallons per.hour? The article says 4-6 litres - a little over a gallon.
