I thought it was obvious sarcasm, but oh well

@fediverse posting this from mastodon. It's amazing if this works!

Edit: it worked! Showed up in my Lemmy feed.

I saw “Blackberry” yesterday and it was a really good experience putting you in the context of those times.

There is one scene where they type a message and wait for it to show up on another device. After a few seconds, it is there and every engineer in the room celebrates.

Then, management/sales guy comes in and they tell about what they’ve just done. He goes yeah, nice, but we do it already, it’s called SMS.

The engineers then say that he is not getting the point. It was a message sent through the network using data, 0 dollars and all and salesman’s eye get brighter.

So yes, I think the sensation was alike.

If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.

If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.

You also should be concerned about other people’s data on your instance tho

I’m not really sure about that. I’m not saying it as an expert or anything, but that’s a discussion I saw around here the other day.

Basically, once you federate and copy the content to your instance, it is in your server and you are responsible for it.

I’ll agree with a few things, tho:

It barely happens today, on centralized platforms. They’re hardly obliged to remove content because some judge says so (it does happen, tho, at least in my country)

I’d imagine it would be a bit of a grey area legally, right now. We would need legislation regarding the fediverse. Imagine someone posts child porn in an instance yours is federated to. Your instance copies the content. You notice and defederated the whole instance, but don’t remove the content. The dude is banned by his home instance and his post is removed. But his copy still exists in yours, since you defederated before his ban and content removal.

Just saying that selfhosting brings a lot of things that need to come to your attention.

You are in a large instance, so searching for communities shouldn’t be so much of a hassle, since most are fetched. You use the feddit community browser, look for some keyword of your interest and if it exists you just search it within your instance. Subscribe and you’re done.

If you for some reason can’t find it, it means it is not fetched yet.

So you copy the whole URL (any.instance/c/anycommunity), paste in the search bar and then search again for the community name only. It will show up and you can subscribe to it.

Finally a fellow Joey user!

It really surprised me how its user base was so small. Highly customizable and really good overall. I used RIF for years, but something was lacking and I kept searching for alternatives. When I tried Joey, I never looked back.

What is interesting, tho, is that it is somehow still working. The dev is inactive on Reddit for weeks, but made a couple “bug fixes” on GitHub the last few weeks.

Use whatever you like. We interact with each other.

That’s great to see. They are expecting a huge influx of users and are working towards having things prepared.

I anticipate a lot of client apps will be ready by then as well, in order to promote themselves and Lemmy/kbin.

Others have already mentioned man grep or grep help

But, in case you don’t know about it, there are two great utilities to get examples and help for almost any given command: tldr and cheat are great.

github.com/cheat/cheat

github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

Just cheat grep or tldr grep and you’re good to go :)
