Hey OP, I'm doing some research. You mind sharing that link in the description of your screenshot?

You can keep bringing it up. But, in my exp, if you dont have anyone high up that can support your perspective, it's just gonna be an uphill battle. And is likely just going to make the other devs unhappy with you.
It's unfortunate but most devs dont really like anything that's going to cause them more work (e.g. more code reviews, higher quality changes, looking at the bigger impact of their changes etc).
If you don't have someone higher up —maybe the manager of the managers of those problematic engineers—I'd just make more tests around the areas that are breaking and require those tests to pass before merging code changes. Devs may not like to work harder, but they damn sure dont like seeing a bunch of red X's when they open a PR lol 😃
Yeah but note by "public" they really mean "if the post doesn't require you to login". They recently implemented a feature that lets users choose for their posts to be "public" but still require a login to see it.
The instances may have different versions of the Lemmy software, which may be causing the inconsistencies.
I use the feeds Open RSS provides for Lemmy and looks like it includes images. If it doesnt, just hit them up and ask if they can implement. They're pretty chill and resolve RSS feed issue pretty quickly.
I make my websites with Wix and a PHP backend like a boss 😎
Yup. And instead, they make us pay them for it. 🤡
Agree. Different platforms have different purposes and the experiences probably should remain separate.
I always find these perspectives that want such a high level of fed integration peculiar when this can already be done using RSS feeds. It's the whole reason they exist. To bring all of the updates from anywhere on the internet Mastodon updates, Pixelfed, Peertube, etc into one, single timeline view. The tools are already there for people to use if people want them.
RSS feeds are great for this! I've been using them for years. It allows you to build your own universal feed of everything on the internet. Open RSS is a organization that provides RSS feeds for any website. Here's a good article that talks about what RSS feeds are.
I use RSS feeds to follow Lemmy, Mastodon, and Kbin communities and even specific users. For example, the RSS feed for the community this was posted in is at
https://openrss.org/lemmy.world/c/fediverse
You just add that to your RSS reader app along with any other web feeds and you have a feed tailored to everything you want to follow, catered to your interests. And no algorithms because everything is always in chronological order.
This is helpful. Thanks. Didnt even realize it. No need to use something to point out how its not a good look. It's still good to bring more awareness around how sites like Github are becoming a more of walled gardens. I agree with everything else you said though.
Lol how about one written in NodeJS? 😆
