There is not a single, god community. Any instance can make /c/startrek, and people can subscribe to both.



There’s a crosspost button at the top of posts, it looks like a copy.



Its different from centralized services, and better. Rather than there being a single universal gaming community, people can make their own, with their own rules. If one gaming community has bad mods, or one server has bad admins, you can move to a different one.




I sympathize with those libreddit and teddit devs, because they’ve probably spent hundreds of hours building and maintaining those front ends, all to have their work essentially go in the trash at reddit’s whims. But you’re right, these are the dangers of rewarding that ecosystem, and building things for centralized services.


Yep. I did talk about lemmy a bit in that reddit thread, but this could bring a lot of ppl into the fediverse, and not just using lemmy.


Those projects are great, and its sad that its ultimately up to the whims of some evil company to waste the hundreds of hours they spent building those apps.


Yup… reddit only gains from people being forced into using their own app. Apollo and other 3rd party clients don’t track data like “time spent looking at X ad”.

More metrics and such to sell to advertisers.



If you can, tell people about lemmy in those other threads. People often just don’t know what the alternatives are.


Teddit might be scraping the public site, so it would be okay. But any apps that use the API will have to have the developer pay thousands of dollars to keep API access. Its the first step before closing off the API entirely like twitter did.


The only other one I know of, is this pretty one from someone at feddit.de: https://lemmymap.feddit.de/







I was skeptical at first, but have come to love it. vim has become a frankenstein’s monster over the years, requiring plugins to do everything. helix comes with LSP / IDE support out of the box, formatting, multi-line editing, quick file switching, etc. It def has been useful for both rust and typescript.



The mods are absent. Would you be willing to take over the community?


Was vim for many years, but now helix.

It’s just using the default now. You can open an issue on the github for it tho.



Thank you for your service.


Currently listening to a lot of Calexico. Favorite album of theirs is Feast of Wire, but they released a new one that is 🔥 , El Mirador


Check your language settings, make sure you have undetermined selected.


Tons of reasons why this is a really bad idea, and I’m staunchly against it.

  • It breaks accessibility.
  • Its completely unpredictable. Which clicks open new tabs, and which ones don’t? How do I know a click won’t open a new tab?
  • Having every click just open in the same tab is predictable, explicit, and is the norm for most of the web (except the annoying sites which open things in new tabs regardless of if we want them to).
  • Its super easy on any browser to do anything @OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml recommended.
    • Sites that open things in new tabs don’t give you that choice. It opens in a new tab whether you wanted it to or not.

I can’t really use mastodon for the same reason… I like following interests and communities, not people.

After I follow a few ppl that post a few times a day, it becomes a full time job just to read ppl’s posts. I have no idea how so many ppl use the twitter model.


No, there’s no such feature. You could work on it though.



What benefits does it have over NewPipe / NewPipe + SponsorBlock?


Use the report button in the future.


Click and hold the comment header.


Hrm, those are all loading for me. Do you have the undetermined language selected in your settings? Not sure what else it might be.



It could be that its a person you’ve blocked, or something like that. Could you link the comment / show me how to reproduce it?




Touch hold or touch click to see the full score. You can un upvote your own post.


Jerboa already has a card view, and lemmy ui has an open issue to create one.



Is that a federated post? Most likely it’s an issue with the initial vote not federating.


Because our greatest influxes of new users come not when we develop new features, but when lemmy gets cross-posted somewhere, or when reddit messes up in such a way that communities want to migrate somewhere else. This current influx is due to something reddit did, not lemmy’s developers.





Seems really neat, basically the next.js but for rust. Based on sycamore, a web-ui library for rust. Looks like it does well in the framework benchmarks too. https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/2023/table_chrome_110.0.5481.77.html

Anyone have a good recommendation for open source continuous integration (CI) ?
We have been using a self-hosted drone for a long time, and now they're telling us we need to purchase a license 💩

Lemmy Release v0.17.0
Its been a long time coming 🥳 . Excerpt from the link: ## Major Changes ### Language Tags Content can now be tagged to indicate the language it is written in. These tags can be used to filter content, so that you only see posts in languages which you actually understand. Instances and communities can also specify which languages are allowed, and prevent posting in other languages. In the future this will also allow for integrated translation tools. ### Comment trees Lemmy has changed the way it stores comments, in order to be able to properly limit the comments shown to a maximum depth. Included are proper comment links (`/comment/id`), where you can see its children, a count of its hidden children, and a _context_ button to view its parents, or the post. ### Featured posts Admins and mods can now "feature" (this used to be called "sticky" ala reddit) posts to the top of either a community, or the top of the front page. This makes possible announcement and bulletin-type posts. Special thanks to @makotech for adding this feature. ### Federation Lemmy users can now be followed. Just visit a user profile from another platform like Mastodon, and click the follow button, then you will receive new posts and comments in the timeline. Votes are now federated as private. This prevents other platforms from showing who voted on a given post, and it also means that Lemmy now counts votes from Mastodon. This release also improves compatibility with Pleroma. If you previously had trouble interacting between Pleroma and Lemmy, give it another try. We've extracted the main federation logic into its own library, [activitypub-federation-rust](https://github.com/LemmyNet/activitypub-federation-rust). It is open source and can be used by other projects to implement Activitypub federation, without having to reinvent the wheel. The library helps with handling HTTP signatures, sending and receiving activities, fetching remote objects and more. ### Other changes - Admins can now purge content and pictures from the database. - Mods can _distinguish_ a comment, "stickying" it to the top of a post. Useful for mod messages and announcements. - Number of new / unread comments are now shown for each post. - Lemmy now automatically embeds videos from Peertube, Youtube and other sites which provide an embed link via Opengraph attribute. - You can give your site "taglines", short markdown messages, which are shown at the top of your front page. Thanks to @makotech for adding this. - You can now report private messages. - Most settings have been moved from the config file into the database. This means they can be updated much easier, and apply immediately without a restart. - When setting up a new Lemmy instance, it doesn't create a default community anymore. Instead this needs to be done manually. - Admins can choose to receive emails for new registration applications. - An upgrade of diesel to v2.0, our rust -> postgres layer.

Works with the new lemmy version.

Lemmy upgrade tomorrow (or wednesday), and we’ll have a few hours of downtime.
We're getting ready to release a new version of Lemmy, which will require a database upgrade, so we'll have a few hours of downtime.

Apologies for all the translators that weren't able to sign up before (it was email issues), this should be fixed now.

This is the MessagEase layout for the MultilingO keyboard. Unfortunately MessagEase development (which is the fastest android keyboard), died several years ago, and we're in dire need of a replacement.

Idea for a Lemmy project: Create a stackoverflow style front-end for lemmy.
In the same way that Nutomic built a phpBB themed front end, it would be entirely possible to create a stack-overflow type one, as many of the same concepts translate over.

Someone made a RTL Arabic lemmy!
Could someone who speaks Arabic please contact them? I'd love to get those changes incorporated into lemmy-ui.

Pictures should be working smoothly now.
All the old pictures are restored from a backup, and should be working now. We've bought more hard drive space too, so we should be okay for a while.

Welcome to Lemmy, I'm one of the devs and admins for this instance. Being pro-piracy, and allowing torrent magnet links 🏴‍☠️ , is one of the original reasons I started working on lemmy ( even a lot of the better reddit alts refuse to allow magnet links, or be pirate-friendly). One of the best ways to keep the stream alive, is by decentralizing the ways we find and access content. Torrents do this directly for data, but I hope that lemmy, as a federated reddit alternative, can eventually serve as a platform to aggregate, post, and comment on pirated data in a decentralized way. [More info about Lemmy including docs, how federation works, and a good onboarding site.](https://join-lemmy.org/) Welcome aboard!
