Interesting, curious to see the new UI

Is report federation fixed?

I mean, still now I don't get reports if my account is on a different instance than the community, is it not the same for you?

Sorry to hear, the comments on the post aren't happy

You can have a look at reddthat.com or Lemmy.blahaj.zone communities from other instances and see if the downvotes count are consistent

No worries 😄

Any reason to come back to this 5 months old post? Genuinely asking if something changed on that topic 😄

Indeed, but they asked 5 months ago, which is why I was curious about your comment now

Nice !

I would be careful about lemmy.one

The admin has been missing for some time, a few people posted to the meta community and never got any answer

Good to know!

We have our own astroturfing bots, did we make it?

I just had a look at https://lemy.lol/, and they have email verification enabled, so it's not just people finding instances without email check to spam account on there.

@iso@lemy.lol and @QuazarOmega@lemy.lol FYI

Reminder that as of now, there is no independent Bluesky server open for registration: https://feddit.org/post/2656676

The interoperability issues between Mastodon and Lemmy come from Mastodon, which doesn't really seem interested in correcting that: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/17008

The overall idea behind sub.club is simple: people can pay a set amount of recurring donations, and gain access to posts from a private ActivityPub account for exclusive content. Creators using sub.club post private DM’s to their sub.club actor, and these messages get relayed into the private feed. Creators display their sub.club account handles in their profile fields, and apps such as Mammoth and Ice Cubes can read that value, and display a special subscription button.

Okay so it's Patreon for microblogging. Why not, if there is an audience.

Thinking about it, a federated OnlyFans could be an interesting concept.

At first I thought it was paid instances of established platforms, a la https://communick.com/services/lemmy/

I’m pessimistic about Lemmy these days.

Why? The userbase is quite stable, and new platform are emerging (Piefed, Mbin), and more people are probably going to come the next time Reddit messes up

At the moment, admins can see the votes. Mods are going to in a future version (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4392 )

Project like https://gui.fediseer.com/

But I didn’t know Mbin could federate with Lemmy.

Interesting, I thought that was quite well known

I got a lot of hate without any reason.

I never really got it either, thank you for your work!

This will all keep happening until we decide we have been tricked one-too-many times by centralized platforms. The only way to escape the hellish state of the current internet is to pursue options that drag the network back towards its decentralized state; a state where corporations are unable to control who we talk to, what we see, where our attention is for five or more hours a day, every day.

This will keep happening until we abandon centralization and choose and free, open source, decentralized future. Or else the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Posted 11 days ago, still sad: https://feddit.org/post/2116262

I'm really not sure. 47k monthly active users, between 30% to 50% of them not American, and those who are are already going to vote Democrat, is it really worth the hassle?

Sometimes I feel like people would like to restart this argument every time it is mentioned, even after 2 threads with hundreds of comments on the topic

That's, great, thanks !

And frankly, if Mastodon devs don’t appear to care, why is everyone else so concerned about it?

Some people think that because Mastodon and Lemmy are both using ActivityPub, Lemmy could gain some users if Mastodon users could interact with Lemmy.

But this seems to overlook that microblogging and link aggregation are two very different ways to interact with content.

Reddit probably has the highest reserve for potential Lemmy users, just because they are more used to link aggregators.

I always point new users to Lemm.ee nowadays.

another admin can decide to defederated from yours anytime they feel like it, that’s still a lot of power in the hands of a single person…

All of the top 20 instances ask feedback from their communities before defederating. They know that if they don't, people will switch instances in two clicks.

Great news!

Most people won’t switch though, they won’t want to lose their username, their feed and so on, we’re creatures of habits…

You can keep your username, export and import your subscriptions and block list in two clicks from the settings.

Hell, trolls could go around and recreate accounts on the top 100 instances with the same username users have on other instances to prevent them from reusing the same username elsewhere, just that is a weird concept to explain “Oh yeah, someone else can create an account and pretend to be you and unless people notice that the instance they’re from isn’t the same, there’s no way to know it isn’t you!”

"You are bob@gmail.com, but someone could create bob@outlook.com and pretend to be you"

Also, this kind of impersonating would probably get the trolls banned.

You’re sending users to Lemmy.we but in the end it’s an instance controlled by one person paying the hosting fees and with the last word on what goes on on their server.

Lemm.ee had 5 admins. The main one has been very clear that he keeps defederation to a minimum: https://lemm.ee/post/35472386?scrollToComments=true

Of course you need to trust him and his team.

If you prefer a paid model where you have a customer relationship with the admin, you might to have a look at https://communick.com/services/lemmy/

The owner is @rglullis@communick.news , who commented below

Thanks for sharing, that's another level

reject federation from anyone with a lower version.

21% of the instances still run 0.19.3 as we are speaking: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/versions

Even on Mbin, the microblogging and link aggregator are two different parts of the software.

If someone from Mastodon posts to an Mbin magazine, it would still look "out of the place" the same way it would in a Lemmy community

Thanks!

I’ve experienced pro-reddit astroturfing on lemmy. I posted this criticism of reddit on the reddit@lemmy.world comm, and it was heavily astroturfed and then deleted by the mod for a bogus reason.

I think I remember this.

Federated alternatives like Lemmy: I grew up on the internet and am far more tech/internet savvy than the average person, and I find federated options confusing and complicated. I also read that they're very complex and not scalable on the technical end as well. They don't seem like a viable option that can gain major traction. I'll keep watching though, maybe I'll be wrong.

I really dislike the bloated UI they're all using, but it looks like there are solutions on the way.

I'm wondering, is this still your opinion?

We had a AMA with Will Ropp, an actor a few months ago: https://lemm.ee/post/31335226

!movies@lemm.ee

We verified it was him by having him send us a message from his IG.

The homepage contains the communities (e.g. Lemmy): https://fedia.io/

The microblog page contains the... microblogs (e.g. Mastodon): https://fedia.io/microblog

That's why I said it's two different views, you can't have everything at the same time, it's one or the other

The 36th most active instance is Lemy.lol with 143 monthly active users. Out of 47k total, that seems reasonable

https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

It's more targeted towards Dessalines: https://sh.itjust.works/post/8419342

Don't shoot the messenger, just remembered seeing this post a while back

Thank you for the update, glad that you like it better now

I guess at the time the mods removed your blog post by mistake, because they didn't expect personal blogs here.

About the votes, it might have been because of the opinion I quoted above.

It’s amazing how computer nerds posting on the fucking fediverse can be so sceptical of seeing their content leave the platform they’re currently on. Like that’s not the whole goddamn point of posting here in the first place.

It was more about the unability to defederate if necessary (e.g. conspiracists or crypto bros becoming the majority users here), and the bridge not being opt-in at the beginning.
