Is the destruction of Twitter and Reddit a conspiracy or am I just paranoid? by 15Redstones in c/chat@beehaw.org

Somehow I don't think Errol Musk knew that much about the geology. Allegedly he bought the shares on a whim without first visiting the mine, which was in a different country.

Against Lemmy Karma by 15Redstones in c/general@lemmy.world

If someone wants karma they could host a modified instance where every post gets thousands of upvotes for free. Other instances can't really verify whether that's accurate.

Solving community fragmentation (feddit.de)

One issue with the fediverse right now is that there are many redundant communities. Like !technology@beehaw.org, !technology@lemmy.ml, !technology@lemmy.world, etc all having essentially the same topic.

I think the easiest solution to this is to take reddit's multireddit feature, allowing users to create their own "technology" multi-community that includes all the popular technology communities from all the instances. Thanks to federation, the user could interact with this multi as if it was one big community. Perhaps a way to share the multi with others so that all the component communities get federate-mirrored to the new user's instance would be needed too.

WhatsApp and the domestication of users by 15Redstones in c/technology@beehaw.org

For people who previously used SMS and had their contacts saved in the phone's pre-installed contact app, WhatsApp could use all those contacts out of the box.

Hey could we defederate with exploding-heads.com/ by 15Redstones in c/main@sh.itjust.works

[-] 15Redstones@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

If per-user instance filters are implemented, perhaps instances could have "default blacklists" for new users for stuff like exploding-heads or lemmygrad that most people don't want to see, with the option to manually un-block them if someone does want to see that.

Maybe add a pre-pub category so we can keep the LN one spoiler safe to the latest released volume (feddit.de)

Is there any reason Lemmy isn't doomed to repeat Reddit's path? by 15Redstones in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] 15Redstones@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmygrad is blocked from federating with most other instances but still is a pretty large instance. Though that instance in particular is not very likely to look towards IPO.

So, Is Genzedong@lemmygrad.ml blocked ? If yes, why? by 15Redstones in c/main@sh.itjust.works

[-] 15Redstones@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Because lemmygrad is pretty huge and other instances don't want their new users to be met with a flood of tankie content, most instances are blocking lemmygrad.

Subscribed communities copyer (feddit.de)

I made a little thing to more easily move to another instance:

A way to quickly grab a list of your subscribed communities.

Go to your list of subscribed communities, /communities/listing_type/Subscribed/page/1 and create a bookmark with the following code as link:

code

javascript:(function() {
    const currentHostname = window.location.hostname;
    const table = document.getElementById('community_table');
    const anchorTags = table.getElementsByTagName('a');
    const communityUrls = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < anchorTags.length; i++) {
      const title = anchorTags[i].title.substring(1);
      const parts = title.split('@');
      const community = parts[0].trim();
      const domain = parts[1] ? parts[1].trim() : currentHostname;
      const communityUrl = `https://${domain}/c/${community}`;
      communityUrls.push(communityUrl);
    }

    const urlsText = communityUrls.join('\n');

    navigator.clipboard.writeText(urlsText)
      .then(() => {
        alert('Community URLs copied to clipboard!');
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        alert('Failed to copy Community URLs to clipboard:', error);
      });
})();





Clicking this bookmark will automatically copy a list of all your subscribed communities and format the links so that you can pop them in the search bar of another instance to subscribe to them from another account.

It can only scrape what's on screen, so if your subscribed communities list is several pages long just click the bookmark for each page.

Yeah, that's why I'm here. Ironic that the current status is that the site is down but 3rd party apps work..

Site seems to be back up now.

At least with Lemmy there's lots of different servers, each with their own running costs.

Each could try a different way of keeping the lights on. Some could run on donations only, some could use small unobtrusive ads on the side, some could do lots of ads. If any server does too little they'll go down due to lack of funding, if any server does too much the users will migrate elsewhere, as it's quite easy to make a new account on another instance and keep following the same communities.

Even if we end up with some large-scale instances with big servers, millions of users and serious money involved, they won't have a monopoly on all the content like with reddit, so the competition should keep them from doing anything stupid.

German "Catastrophe" is "Katastrophe". "Katzastrophe" is "Katze"+"Katastrophe", which in english would be "cat" + "catastrophe"... oh.

For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience? by 15Redstones in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] 15Redstones@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Couldn't you just make a new account on another instance and link to it on your old profile? Perhaps a feature to subscribe to export/import your subscribed communities would be nice.
