What a cringe, and obvious attempt at promoting your leaflet distribution company through fake online engagement, @cheetahdistribution@thelemmy.club.

Check out aether.

I really wanted this to be as popular as Lemmy, but it never caught on in a big way.

XMPP is a tried and tested e2ee standard.

There is mention of e2ee voice and video chat on the site.

Are there any anonymous coins that have better security than Monero? in c/monero@monero.town
[–] WilfordGrimley@linux.community 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Monero is king.

Monero bridged to Ergo and mixed with the ergo mixer could be great one day. As it would give Monero access to DeFi if enough people use the mixer this way.

Add the rpm from protons website then rpm-ostree install package name.

This is one of the situations where layering packages is appropriate.

Is Lemmy Federation with Aether possible? (linux.community)
 

Aether is a reddit alternative not dissimilar to Lemmy in that it is distributed and open source.

Some advantages to Aether over Lemmy are:

It is entirely decentralized rather than federated giving it superior censorship resistance and smooth horizontal scalability. Each user on the Aether network acts as a node operator allowing other users to connect and view the communities that they subscribe to.

Moderators within each community are elected by, are impeachable by, and their decisions can be individually ignored by the users of each community. All mod actions are public information and, as mentioned, each mod action or moderator can be ignored by each user. This maximizes the accountability of the network and greatly reduces the chances of censorship.

The biggest flaw with Aether is that it is not currently maintained (to my knowledge). With such a massive migration of users to Lemmy and the Fediverse as large, I would love to see an increased interest in decentralized solutions like Aether.

Would it be technically feasible for Aether to join the fediverse through modified Lemmy instances? If so it could act as a silver bullet to enable horizontal scalability of the network at large.

I welcome any discussion on the topic.

Lemmy Ergo Community (lemmy.world)

Ergo is an eUTXO (extended unspent transaction output) based PoW smart contract platform.

It is significant to the privacy coin community as it features the ErgoMixer, the industries first non-custodial non-interactive coin mixer. It enables mixing any native or bridged token on the network in an entirely trustless way. It can enable any other compatible bridged asset to be mixed and further used in Ergo's smart contracts. (Think about premixed BTC-XMR pairs on a DEX for example.)

ErgoMixer

Ergo already has a community on Lemmy that I hope to see grow and flourish along with this one. https://lemmy.world/c/ergo

Here's to privacy!

Can the Number of Federated Instances be Increased for Linux.community please? (linux.community)

At the moment there is slim pickings for other communities to join if this instance is chosen by a user to be their home server.

Presumably other instances have to approve linux.community federating with them before their subs can show up? Is it that this instance is new, or is there some other reason. u/nkukard can you chime in?

EDIT: A-ha! I was searching poorly! Once a member of a instance subscribes, it pulls it into that instance for easier discovery. Neat!
