I haven't tried it, but I did see fly-lemmy which used fly.io.

Eh, don't be so sure.

Email is often drawn as something similar to the fediverse. ... but if you've ever tried to run a small Mailserver, you'll quickly find that "the big corps" have created a walled garden that'll keep the "small fish" out.

It's all based on what the big players view as your "reputation". This is based on proprietary metrics (usually how many emails you send), but your reputation will determine if the email is delivered or not.

You can find more information here.

... but the point is that one big corps consolidate and reach the size (in terms of traffic/content) like Hotmail, Gmail, yahoo, etc - they will not hesitate to squeeze out the smaller fediverse fish to force them into paying to use the bigger pond.

Sadly ... this is just business as usual.

Oh, I hope this (eventually) works with Skyrim VR!

 

I stumbled upon this and I immediately thought of this channel.

Someone is running a bot that'll scrape a website-that-shall-not-be-named. It'll only mirror threads (not comments) and the author / community seem very passionate to subvert any api limits that the scraped company may impose.

Oh now that you mention it, a sharable link would be a must. This would promote curated "Awesome..." repos/links.

It would be ideal if it were part of the fediverse naming convention. For example "/m/multi-subreddit-name/c/group1@domain1/c/group2@domain2/..."

It would allow full transparency, the ability to update / change it... places could even provide URL shorteners for it.

Edit 2: formatting (come'on Lemmy don't let me down)

One feature suggestion for Lemmy someone made: Create something like a multi-subreddit with Lemmy groups .

I love the idea. Basically, you could toss all the fragemented tech topics into a single multi-subreddit, giving you the ability to browse through a single topic but spanning different Lemmy installations.

Thank you for the article, but can we talk about the eye-cancer that MSN has de-evolved into?

I click on the link, see the first 3 lines of the article (that I cannot actually click on to read the rest) followed up with an infinite wall of ads and "other articles you may enjoy".

Thanks for the heads-up, I had no clue it was released.

It's not a website rather an app, Spotube (although it's a bit buggy) would allow you to download your play lists from various "free" sites.

In principle I agree with karma turned posts into people gaming the system.

However, I've heard one of the struggles for Lemmy Communities is to keep people from lurking.

Karma might be a stupid feature but it is/was a cheap way of driving participation - it could help Lemmy (especially at this early stage). Even if karma encouraged people to just up voted, it still raised visibility on the more interesting topics.

Malicious Compliant Deep Thoughts : You could create a group here on Lemmy, start topics and discussions there. Then link those Lemmy posts on Reddit. The Reddit Users will figure it out. :)

Also part of the 10+ year club (long time lurker). You're right about that "familiar sense", but for myself it comes with a forgotten sense of optimism.

Reddit's been on the decline for years before the Vitoria incident or The Great Purge... but as long as I had my niche communities, baconreader, and old.reddit.com - I could "get by"... as Reddit became more and more aggressive in selling "me as the product".

The federated and open source nature of Lemmy will solve the issue of "corporate presence", but it will require us to "roll up our sleeves" - which I find refreshing.

Oh, I like it! A multi-subreddit should be a must-have for a federated community like Lemmy.

It would create a simple way to lump together all these Gaming group (from different servers) into a single view. Such a feature would improve visibility and also (hopefully) reduce the amount of noise/duplicate content (ie: one trailer being reposted to each Gaming channel/server)
