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.

I was also using jerboa (and beehaw hasn't upgraded, either).

I ended up exploring other apps and are really liking thunder (it reminds me of baconreader).

Another honorable mention is liftoff.

Tbh, I don't know why jerboa was released as "stable" but with a forced server upgrade. It seems a bit strong armed. Anyway, I'm thrilled that other applications exist, so I get the continued functionality I want w/o needing the admins to accommodate me.

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.

I didn't know it was open source until 2018. According to the article, they needed to go close-sourced due to the video player (lol)

... But you can find the original source code at: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit1.0

I really wonder if this is the code for https://old.reddit.com

From what I've read: I don't think so.

The tools for user and site admins to moderate/filter is rough at best.

I think we, as users, can only "block" each group and site admins can only defederate (which effects all registered users)

This appears now be "sold out"

Yup, that's me. I'm trying to make lemmy my new home and limit my access to Reddit (vote with your feet). I still check Reddit for the polls and a few nitch communities that don't exist on Lemmy (yet)

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/(group) @(domain) /c/(group) @(domain) /..."

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

Edit: formatting

Wow, is that how Lemmy really works? Beehaw disables the downvote, but since I federated through it - I cannot downvote anywhere in the fediverse.

I wonder if this means that people from outside of Beehaw can downvote threads posted in Beehaw (anyone is welcome to downvote my Beehaw responses - in the name of science, mind you :)

I'm really going to have to think about hosting my own Lemmy server. It sounds like whoever's site you register through has quiet a bit of control (especially outside of their respective site).

You mentioned that you're hosting your own Lemmy server. Have you had any issues accessing or being accessed by others in the fediverse?

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".
