We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Sublinks, a groundbreaking Link Aggregation Social Network, joining the Fediverse. This innovative platform is designed to revolutionize how we share and discover online. Our dedicated team of volunteer contributors has worked tirelessly, utilizing technologies like Java, Go, TypeScript, and HTML to bring this vision to life. Sublinks promises a user-friendly interface and robust features that cater to diverse online communities. Stay tuned for our launch date, and get ready to experience a new era of social link sharing!
Sublinks will have a fully compatible API with Lemmy so all current Lemmy apps will also work with Sublinks. In fact, discuss.online will switch to Sublinks to fully replace Lemmy once we reach our Parity Milestone.
For more information, visit GitHub - Sublinks and sublinks.org.
Stay tuned for more regular updates as we progress.
I hope notifications will be supported from the outset.
Do you mean push notifications in the apps?
As I understand it, Lemmy doesn’t support notifications through the api and the devs are resistant So apps have to take one of two routes either constantly polling individual servers or installing a service on the phone (which causes battery issues on Android or to get shut down on iOS)
That shouldn't be a problem to add. The application will be event-driven and that's the core of what is needed to fire push notifications.
