How do we feel with our content being federated one-way to ClubsAll? (lemm.ee)

In reference to this thread:

Tl,dr:

ClubsAll is a closed source platform which fetches Lemmy content
ClubsAll however does allow Lemmy instances to federate its communities (!clubsall@clubsall.com gives an error, see https://lemm.ee/post/44491669/15374449)
Comments from ClubsAll do federate to Lemmy communities: (https://lemmy.world/comment/12828092 / https://clubsall.com/posts/what-food-and-or-drink-will-you-eat-when-you-are-senile-and-forget-you-already-had-it-the-meal-before-oD_s4)
It is not possible to host a ClubsAll instance at the moment

What do you all think about this?

Hello,

Right now even my developer has moved on, so new development has halted. This is why I was forced to launch.

As stated on the other thread, do you know when you'll be able to open source the project? Also, why were you forced to release it when your developer left?

[–] vinay_clubsall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Open sourcing is not time dependent. I just need

a security review by someone experienced to make sure we do not instantly get hacked as soon as we open
and some commitment to fix critical bugs and hacks that will kill ClubsAll or steal resources

why were you forced to release it when your developer left? I think I should have released much earlier and developed with input from community. So developer leaving was a trigger to do it. Also, sitting on it would just demotivate me, degrade the code and it would have possibly died a silent death before release.

The source not being open will not prevent attackers from trying to hack your website as it currently online.

If you need help with having a look at the code, you can probably reach out to people here. You might want to shut the website down during the review so that if an issue is discovered it won’t be exploited.

Agreed, closed source is not a guarantee, but it does help. We are not hacked so far, so that's good enough for me :-)

I have asked in this and other thread. Should I make a new post?

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Making a new thread would probably be better, as it would have much higher visibility than a comment here :)
