I have honestly always really enjoyed Click and I kid you not, I’ve never been able to stop myself from crying while watching it. It’s so stupid but so good

What’s with all the hate about federating with Threads? I thought people would be happy to hear a big player is coming to the fediverse that’s going to bring a bunch of people with it. “Normies” will probably never use Mastodon or Lemmy but might use Threads, so being able to communicate with them while staying on my little community-ran Mastodon instance is a win for the fediverse in my book. And if somebody’s annoying or whatever, you can always block them, right? Can somebody clarify why people think everyone should automatically defederate with them and lose such a big userbase? I mean, I hate Facebook/Meta as much as the next guy, but more users are more users…

This post is quite old, so it’s probably already to late but I can try to help. I’m not sure what network manager Fedora uses, but you could try to narrow the issue down. Here are the steps I would take if I were you:

• Check system logs with journalctl -e and see if there’s anything strange there
• Confirm that I have a local IP address with ip addr (next to your network device name, should be something like wlpxxx for Wi-Fi)
• Try to ping a popular server, e.g. ping 8.8.8.8 for Google DNS
• Try to check whether DNS works with dig google.com
• Check what route my packets take on the way to the server with tracepath 8.8.8.8
• If any of these are out of the ordinary, I’d try to google the error and see what else can be done

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’d be happy to help
