I have learned more in the few weeks about self hosting, rust, flutter and other things in lemmy, mastodon and fediverse than in the last few years in Reddit and other social media. Maybe learned more in hacker news. It’s awesome here and love the people here who are wonderful and knowledgeable and teach me patiently without...
For now, I can only visit a community from another server by searching or opening a post from that server, if I open it in the post’s original server or if I open their site, I’ll be in another lemmy instance and I’ll have no account there, so I can’t really interact....
I feel like if you scroll through any area outside of the fediverse you will here MASTODON SUCKKKKS OMG I HATE IT SO MUCH, it’s gonna fail. or comments saying mastodon will only exist for another year tops. Keep in mind I know in terms of microblogging apps for the fediverse mastodon is not the best, calckey is likely the best...
What the title says. I have mastodon and pixelfed, while it is nice to see posts from both services in network feed, im not interested as much in the mastodon posts. Its not a dealbreaker, but would be nice if i can switch off the mastodon posts. I dont know if it matters, but im using pixelfed.de instance.
Currently I’m more aware of general interest instances for both Lemmy & Kbin, and a few more focused ones (e.g. Mander.xyz/slrpnk.net/startrek.website), so I’m curious what others there might be....
I’ve been telling a lot of people about it, but everyone’s a skeptic. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they’re just going to wait to see which Reddit clone comes out on top before switching. Most of them haven’t heard of the other parts of the fediverse like mastodon. I’d like to leave fb/instagram, but like...
I wrote a quick script that opens links to external sites in a new tab. It works everywhere, not just on lemmy.world. You need a browser extension to embed custom javascript to use it....
As the question states. I have the skiils and know how to setup a new instsnce and from looking through the documentation its relatively straight forward. Im just wondering would it actually help the fediverse and lemmy as a whole? There seems to already be plenty of instances to choose from. What are your guys thoughts?
I think that most folks use upvote/ downvote as an v agree/ disagree. But maybe there could be, in the long run, a place where other votes could be made. Dm it’s more like a song quality system, maybe similar to customer support reviews you get agree after dealing with a customer support call ....
Does the name need to be like the URL, or just what you wanna call the community? There’s a little help icon next to the text box, but tapping it doesn’t seem to make any help text show up....
With Threads/Meta heading for the fediverse, and Tumblr looking at ActivityPub, how would you feel if Reddit decided to add support and federate Kbin & Lemmy?...
Fact is, the Lemmy ecosystem needs money to handle the growing server reqirements as more people migrate as well as the development cost of new features (I know Lemmy is OSS but the devs should still get some compensation for their effort)....
