jgrim of Sublinks

Clear anyone of debt just by thinking it.

I’m the admin for discuss.online. I’ve reached out to a handful of subreddits I follow asking them to move over to my instance and they don’t respond. Not to me anyway.

The few, the proud, the nerdy

That wouldn’t work for my friends. You assume I’m talking to smart people :)

IRC is still very much thriving! Just like HAM.

That’s genius; I love it! I’m going to start using that one. Thanks!

You can join the beta now. They just released a huge update. It’s not done but it’s useable. https://discuss.online/post/17361

That’s what ruined it before… it got to corporate and clean. I like it messy.

I tried that… didn’t work.

This was my latest attempt

There are instances with communities (Reddits with subreddits).

If one or more instances links up, they can share those communities. This is done by the instance federating and copying down the data from the other instance and then working with that instance to stay in sync.
 Examples:
A->All the instances run this. But one is the data master; they all report back when a change is made in their instance. C->Only red is interacting with this community D->Only Red & Yellow interact with this community.

I admit the graph needs more work, but it’s a wip… just like lemmy :)

Yeah, there is a massive movement right now. It’ll get there. I have tech friends that don’t quite get it. It’s so simple for me. I’m struggling to find an easy way to explain in.

As an admin of my own instance… We have a while…

The cost will be spread out, and people can monetize how they see fit. I’m wondering if there will be additional benefits you can add to your instance for a charge that people might be willing to pay.

I’m considering offering an Element server and maybe email on mine with a shared username for each service. That’s going to take time to setup, though.

We must prove that it’s valued and let the monetization come later. I’m working on this in my spare time. Once I can grow, maybe I can put more effort into it. I think it’ll be a lot of people like me for a while financing it out of pocket.

I agree. The communities should create those niche groups, and each instance should be general. I understand the attraction to only keeping what you want in a small instance, but it seems like folks would enjoy variety and discovery.
