erlend_sh,

Something a bit similar to what lemmit is already doing, but more powerful with your addition of comments: read-only, best-of archives of really old content from popular subs.

10-5 year old askreddit posts for instance would be interesting blasts from the past to read today. Isn’t there already a ‘best of Reddit’ convention on Reddit itself that resurfaces such content from time to time?

erlend_sh,

Sounds like the sort of thing Cory Doctorow would write.

Matrix 2.0: Radically faster client, OAuth logins and native video calls (matrix.org)

Back at FOSDEM we announced the idea of Matrix 2.0 - a series of huge step changes in terms of Matrix’s usability and performance, made up of Sliding Sync (instant login/launch/sync), Native OIDC(industry-standard authentication), Native Group VoIP (end-to-end encrypted large-scale voice & video conferencing) and Faster Joins...

erlend_sh,

Oh, thanks! I must have followed a gift link via Doctorow’s social because I didn’t encounter the paywall.

erlend_sh,

Most of the people who organize on SocialHub use this Matrix space to discuss fediverse development:

matrix.to/#/%23fediverse-developer-network:matrix…

fedidevs.org

Maybe we could get everyone in here instead? They’re eager to decentralize the ownership of the org, so representatives from the Lemmy community would be very welcome to step into leadership roles.

erlend_sh,

Thanks for an awesome app! It covers all the essentials already.

Any plans to onboard more contributors to help with the maintenance burden?

erlend_sh,

Every damn time. My poor heart.

All David Attenborough headlines should start with ‘Still alive and well David Attenborough…’

erlend_sh,

That’s really up to the project owner to decide, and is also different in app projects like Eldiron as opposed to libraries. In this case he’s asking for feedback on features.

erlend_sh,

Heh sure! Maybe I can get away with a slightly longer shorthand, like APub.

edit: Hey look at that, we can edit post titles in Lemmy ✨

erlend_sh,

Yep. It’s Mastodon-compatible. Currently it’s UI-less (backend-only) like GoToSocial.

erlend_sh, (edited )

The general idea is good, but I still believe the best solution is the ability for Communities to follow other Communities. That is essentially a fully automated version of this sibling proposal.

This has been explained in great detail by ‘jamon’ here:

github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1113#issuecom…

This basically lets Communities opt to federate directly with other Communities, abiding by the same network dynamics as the fediverse at large, I.e. cross-network moderation by (de)federation.

Here’s a succinct description of the problem that C-C following solves:

If you are an active user (not moderator) of Lemmy, the requirement for this becomes apparent almost immediately. One of the biggest strengths of these forum are communities-at-scale. Being able to easily post and interact with large groups of people is the benefit to the user that makes Lemmy (and all other social media) appealing.

As a user, I recently wanted to post to AskLemmy. Almost every single instance has thier own separate AskLemmy implementation. Naturally, I’d tend to post to the one with the most users. But inherently, I’m missing the majority of users by only being able to post to one. I.E., I posted to [email protected] (which had 3k users), but by doing that, I’m missing out on the users from lemm.ee, behaw, lemmy.world which in total are far more than 3k.

erlend_sh,

I’ve been reading a lot of your exchanges on the Lemmy GitHub and I can tell you with a high degree of confidence that you are not the subject of a hazing ritual. What’s going on is a miscommunication issue; there’s no ill will directed towards you.

The Lemmy devs are under a great deal of stress these days due to the recent influx of activity, both on the big Lemmy instances as well as the Lemmy GitHub. You’ve clearly gone to great lengths to investigate various SQL bottlenecks in Lemmy, and this work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

The problem you’re likely running into is that the Lemmy devs are trying to address a wide array of issues, whereas you are zoomed in on some very specific performance problems. Whether or not the core devs are wrong when they say your findings are irrelevant is beside the point. What they are really saying is that they do not have the attention bandwidth to try to see what you are seeing right now.

If you find yourself unable to work with the Lemmy project, there are other fedi projects in Rust like Mitra or Kitsune which might be more receptive to your contributions. I’m personally very interested in seeing rudimentary Lemmy (Groups et.al.) compatibility in Kitsune.

We need a more user-friendly approach to telling people about the Fediverse (kbin.social)

I'm assuming most of us here want a large community. The reality is most people aren't into technology nearly as much as many of the people actually on the Fediverse. For other people who are into tech (like myself and a lot of people here), the federation technology itself being promoted as a core component of the appeal makes...

erlend_sh,

Yeah, just a single instance recommendation is best imo. Having to choose between two instances is still a significant mental load compared to the singular options most people are used to when joining a new platform.

erlend_sh,

Heh yeh it’s kind of a mashup of two different streams of thought. I might repurpose ‘fediverse is a movement’ for a new, more cogent article.
