Illecors

Furthermore, I propose we stick to using clearer vs more clear.

I mean… the scale starts at 78 and ends at 85. It’s incredibly misrepresentative.

I can recommend ffshare on android. Works like a pipe in unixland.

There are simpler ways - using newpipe, grayjay, etc.

Yea, it’s a constant battle. FWIW - try getting the important people onto signal. I use molly client and it has its own mechanism to sync messages in real time, or at least close enough to real time that I haven’t noticed.

One of the unexpected benefits of running grapheneos is that shit like whatsapp can’t cope without having play services available and, as such, doesn’t really do real time notifications. It still checks in every now and then, but that’s definitely bettee than it working “properly”.

Serves as a reminder that there’s always someone faster than you!

I run my own instance. Lemmy UI and Jerboa (screenshot) exposes the votes to admins. If I were a developer I’d probably patch it to show to everyone.

The who bit is simple :)

The why… Maybe accidental misclick?

This feels like the solution is in the definition of the problem. Why not stick to Firefox?

Germanium, you say, huh? The same China has just limites the export of? :(

Honestly? Reddit’s fuck up. I’ll always self host stuff if it makes sense, and all of a sudden Lemmy started making sense!

Absolutely! There’s some feeling of ownership now that I can host an instance of my own - I want this platform to succeed, I want to give something back to the open source community, even if it’s only a small server.

This is from 4 years ago!

I think something very similar is done already. If I look a thing up on another instance - my instance saves it. If the origin goes away - I can still see it.

Not the kind of sharding you’re talking about, but the federated nature of stuff does prevent something popular from just dropping off the surface of earth.

Quick comments:

i cannot use the account i have on a mastond instance on Lemmy, and neither the opposite

I’ve seen people comment here using Mastodon accounts. Not sure how they had done it, but it’s definitely doable. Not sure about using a Lemmy account on Mastodon, but it really should be doable.

if i want to browse Kbin with my Lemmy account, i won’t be able to, but i can create a new account and find some content of Lemmy on it or browse privately.

That is a temporary issue caused by the main kbin instance deploying defensive measures against the onslaught of new users - they’ve hidden themselves behind Cloudflare CDN. Once they figure out the performance issues and expose themselves publicly the federation will come back.

The system of mentions is quite confusing as well and i don’t see these differentiation of istances a pro for the network, if an istance goes down the content on that istance goes down as well.

Can’t argue the mention bit, as I’m probably too old to care about having a server bit added to the username - that’s just normal to me. The instance going down is no different that a subreddit going private. It can happen on a whim of the mod/owner. And just like with a subreddit content being cached externally, other Lemmy nodes will keep cached copies of existing posts for some time. The only real issue here would be user accounts that would become inaccessible, but even that may be sorted by people more intelligent than me.

have one single domain holding all the istances

No. Just no. If you prefer having single points of failure - either stick to Reddit or spin up a private unfederated Lemmy instance.

I want to be able to subscribe to one single Fediverse account, and be able to use it in every different federated platforms.

I believe we’re very close to that. You can already access many federated things with a single account.

If i login in a federated platform, IPFS would perform a node lookup and find my account details on one of the federated servers, instead of having to specify which server i want the account info to be coming from.

This is the cost of owning your data yourself. Fully. I prefer hosting my own stuff.

I don’t know IPFS stuff all that well, can’t comment.

Of course with this option there HAS to be a central server with all the data on it in order to make them readily available and make the user experience acceptable.

No. Just no.

Not that I’m aware of, no. It might already be on a TODO list

I guess I could. Thanks for the idea!

Not on a trackpad I can’t :D

Not that I’m aware of, no. Would love it, though! Currently resorting to ctrl+lmb
