You mean that announcements like this should include a list with the names of all donors?

You can try it now on https://voyager.lemmy.ml/multi_communities

You can try it now on voyager.

Yes just like that, and it will be compatible over federation.

There are a few reasons:

• Test if the plugin system really works
• As an example for other plugins
• Avoid bloating Lemmy core with functionality that isnt needed by everyone
• With plugins its much easier to make adjustments or new releases, and no need to wait for a new Lemmy release (and no need to fork all of Lemmy for minor adjustments)

I also developed a plugin for automatic language tagging of posts/comments, it works quite well even on very short text. Will also put it on voyager.lemmy.ml soon.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-plugins/pull/6

It will be available for testing on voyager.lemmy.ml soon.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml made various UI changes that seem controversial to me. Such as changing the theme colors or moving most post/comment actions from the action menu to the context menu. If you have strong opinions on the design it’s best to follow the repository on Github and comment in the issues or pull requests where these changes are made. Otherwise these may also get adjusted later during beta testing.

I live in Spain. The user donations alone would not be sufficient, but together with the money from NLnet it’s enough to pay the bills.

Of course I could earn much more money by working for a company. But I don’t like to be ordered around by a silly manager, be stuck in an office for 8 hours every day and get stressed working on a project I don’t care about. With Lemmy no one can tell me what I have to do, and it’s work that’s actually meaningful.

It looks like Castopod is the main podcasting platform on the Fediverse. I had a quick look how it federates. Unlike Peertube it doesnt use groups, so it wont be possible to follow the podcasts from Lemmy. What you could do is make a Lemmy post with a direct link to the Castopod audio file so users can play it from Lemmy (that is after 1.0 is released with the audio player feature).

These types of changes are rather annoying because you need to edit the file, wait about an hour for the release build to finish, then fix any problems and repeat until it works. Though its definitely good to have multiple platforms for releases.

So if you want to make a PR and get it working you are welcome to do that. Then I will add the auth token so you can test it. Github seems preferable as we already use that.

Thats doable with our CI tools (docs). Would you open an issue?

Thank you :)

Thanks!

By the way you can now try the development version of 1.0 on voyager.lemmy.ml.

Yes exactly.

Its basically a collection of communities, so you can browse multiple related communities at the same time. Piefed already implements this under a different name:

https://piefed.social/feeds

https://piefed.social/f/cinema

This is already implemented, admins can specify a “suggested” multi-community which will be shown next to Subscribed/Local/All just like you say.

Thanks :)

Fully agree that theres too much politics. Like you say too often about attacking some kind of enemy rather trying to understand other perspectives. For better or for worse, those seem to be the types of people more likely to use a new platform like Lemmy. Hopefully in the future they will also get tired of this stuff.
