Lemmy.world status update 2023-07-04
  • Does Lemmy have the ability to replace default links?

    Basically, replace signup link with one that redirects to a page that gives a very simple as possible explanation what's going on, what fediverse is and gives s list of other instances to try.

    Reinforce "All are viable and can browse lemmy.world subs"... Or communities or whatever term we use here for lemmy equivalent of subreddits.

  • Please read: a personal appeal.

  • Problem is that such isn't a stable source of income.

    Though I guess Wikipedia makes it work. So I dunno.

    Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance
  • Wound up just making a lemm.ee account.

    Let's see if this is noticably more stable.

  • I'm dumb about this whole fediverse thing. Do I need to make an account on the lemm.ee instance to enjoy that sweet stability?

    Or can I just "swap to a new instance" and keep my incredibly tiny comment history?

    Using lemmy.world and constantly getting gateway errors.

    Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
  • I'm trying to be a more avid poster but the gateway errors are making it difficult.

  • Mmm, I get the ideological stance, but servers do cost money.

    I suppose donations are an option but can't imagine that being a stable source.

    We've grown an absolute shit ton of people the past day, insanely nuts to see how active World is.
  • It feels closer to it. I'm really looking forward to Slide for Lemmy to get completed.

    Feels like home.

    Still completely broken right now. Only version 0.0.2. can't even access a "sublemmy" without it crashing. Good enough to browse the frontpage and look at posts. Nothing else for now.

    Using Connect at the moment. Bouncing between it and Liftoff.

  • After playing with Connect, it feels a little more polished than Liftoff. But I think Connect has more dev time on it.

  • Nevermind heard of it. What's your opinion?

    Like how's it compare to the others?

  • Never tried Sync, I think. Maybe I'll give it a try for Lemmy some point.

  • Dope. Had to hunt down the uh... "Sublemmy" I guess we'd call it? Maybe not. Community, anyway.

    Link is being read as an email and Liftoff wants to open up Gmail for it. Which I get, looks like one.

  • Yeah, saw it on the homepage, though not getting notifications for it. Had to come back and manually check. Probably just a communication error, getting a lot of errors lol.

    Case in point: just got five+ "failed to post comment"s.

    Also don't see where to edit comments. But also probably something I'm just overlooking because I'm still new to this software.

    Edit: just saw the three dots. Damn I'm blind.

    Do you think we need a decentralized version of Amazon?
  • I'm a bit iffy on the idea, but not strictly opposed to it. How would scammers, returns, payment issues, etc be handled without a strong central authority?

    Seems like a smaller, weaker local administration might not be able to handle such.

    Legitimate curiosity on my end. I'm open to interpretation and suggestions.

    I'm new to this federalized system in terms of social networks. It's been interesting so far.

  • WefWef seemed pretty good. But wefwef being a web app just disappeared from my phone, along with a convention web app, after I restarted. Weird.

    I'll look up your suggestions. Liftoff doesn't appear to have an inbox right now. At least not one I didn't see.

  • I did my part. By which I mean I made an account and made a single comment (well, two now.)

    Still hoping to find a good comparable app to Slide for Reddit. Liftoff for Lemmy has fairly similar comment layout at least.
