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!
Do you have any suggestions for finding decent “gently used laptops”? The few times I’ve looked (ebay, Craigslist, etc) they’ve been pretty shady (looks fine, runs like it’s eaten a litter of dust bunnies).
I’m in the same boat. I limit myself to a superficial check of Reddit twice a day (morning and evening).
Some of the nitch subs haven’t migrated and I get the feeling that the “world news” I get from Lemmy is either lagging or flat out missing content. Maybe, I haven’t found an “unbiased” Lemmy world news group.
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
Well… it does have an MIT license (meaning you can use it for anything)
It would be wickedly funny to see a Lemmy frontend with a Reddit 1.0 theme.
lol … and what was the average life expendency in the 70s?
If I understand correctly: your suggesting to copy/mirror/link Reddit content to Lemmy.
As others have mentioned, this’ll be difficult and also a legal grey area.
But why not flip it around? Try to encourage discussions on Lemmy and submit the links/crosspost to Reddit.
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)
I foresee many discussion threads in Lemmy/here being crossposted in /r/startrek (aka: Malicious Compliance)
This appears now be “sold out”
Test received - welcome aboard
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)
Yeah, and you’re not talking to a bot (… I think…)
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/group1@domain1/c/group2@domain2/…”
It would allow full transparency, the ability to update / change it… places could even provide URL shorteners for it.
Edit 2: formatting (come’on Lemmy don’t let me down)
Ug, during the blackout that “muscle memory” hit me harder than I care to admit.
Since, then I found (and are using) thunder. It’s the closest I’ve found to baconreader for Lemmy.
