Unspezzable.

the title links take you out of your instance

The third link solves that problem. See my other comment in this thread for a detailed explanation.

1. https://lemmy.world/c/bestoflemmy

The full address. If you're not from lemmy.world, this will show you logged out. Solution: #3.

2. !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world

Use this to search for a community in order to subscribe. You can omit the bang ('!'), but then you will only find the community if another lemming of your home instance has already discovered it. To discover it, you have to bang it.

In short, searching for !com@ins.tance is like searching for com@ins.tance with added functionality and no downsides (as far as I'm aware of, still learning).

This is very important for lemmings on small instances. Lemmings on big instances often don't need to use the bang, because someone else from their home instance has likely already discovered.

3. /c/bestoflemmy@lemmy.world

Note how when you click on the full address (1) of a community hosted in another instance, you are not logged in anymore? Option 3 solves this problem, it is a link relative to your current position. It allows you to visit the community and subscribe to it because you remain logged in. If you get a 404 error, bang it first using #2.

Clicking on #1 will lead you to https://lemmy.world/c/bestoflemmy, where your current user does not exist, so you cannot subscribe. So when coming from ins.tance, clicking on #3 will lead you to https://ins.tance/c/bestoflemmy@lemmy.world and you can subscribe.

Ja, haste recht. Über das Ausmaß lässt sich diskutieren, aber dass im Prinzip eine Verknüpfung besteht, hast du gezeigt.

Einerseits und ganz ehrlich ist mir das zu viel, mich da reinzulesen und abzuwägen. Andererseits finde ich die Software und Idee zu gut, um sie einfach den Tankies zu überlassen :)

Von daher hoffe ich auf eine Lösung fedi style. Das Problem verdünnen durch mehr selbst coden, oder im Extremfall forken, oder einfach kbin nutzen. Vorläufig bleibe ich aber hier, so dramatisch finde ich es nicht.

You can even go to page 0, which shows the content of page 1, but without the updates.

That's a quick and easy fix, thank you!

I mean you can, but I would rather advertise for the better platform (by linking to it) than for the worse.

More content in here is a good thing though. Each decides for their own, I just shared my thoughts.

Let’s say one instance would get massive, and would stop federating and start charging for API access. If that happened, we would be in the same situation as now with Reddit. Yea, it would e a lot easier to set up your own instance, but you would still need to convince all these people to give up that main instance.

I argue it wouldn't be the same, but much better for the users.

You can already make an account on another instance. Ditch the old, use the new. Problem solved. The big advantage is, you don't need to look for a new platform, accustom yourself with the new environment, and so on. Switching between instances is much easier than switching between platforms.

Yes, you might lose access to some communities, but that would happen anyways if you switch platform. And community redundancies exist (the good side of 'fragmentation').

Hopefully, we will get GitHub feature request #1985 fulfilled: Moving user profile to a new instance, which would further ease transitioning between instances. (Don't get too excited, doesn't seem it's being worked on. Consider contributing if you can.)

This would make it harder to excert power in awful instances, people can easily vote with their feet.

Here's the link from which I created the screenshot, so you can play around:

Also, der Titel lautet “Lemmy-Entwickler in der Kritik”: es geht weniger um die Software, sondern darum, dass der Entwickler als Admin offenbar zensiert, weil es ihm politisch halt doch gegen den Strich geht (gegen Russland oder China), auf einer Instanz die eigentlich allen offensteht (aber halt seine ist).

Ich würde gerne zwischen diesen beiden Rollen unterscheiden; Software-Entwickler und Instanz-Admin.

Da die Vorwürfe sich auf seine Handlungen als Admin beziehen sehe ich erstmal nicht, inwiefern ihn das als Entwickler diskreditiert.

Natürlich ist denkbar, dass die Grenze zwischen den Rollen verschwimmt (ist ja schließlich auch die selbe Person). Aber genau an der Stelle würde es für mich kritisch werden, nicht vorher.

Als Entwickler verhält er sich, soweit ich das bisher oberflächlich gesehen habe, sehr neutral und weist explizit auf die Möglichkeit hin, dass andere mit anderer Meinung ~~seine~~ die Software kostenlos nutzen können.

Und die Vorwürfe gegen ihn als Admin relativiert das auch wieder. Wem's nicht passt, kann ja einfach zu anderen Admins gehen.

Dem Risiko, er könne als Entwickler irgendwie rumtanken (mir unklar was das sein sollte, aber nur mal so hypothetisch), begegnen wir vielleicht am besten damit, selbst mehr zu entwickeln. Dann ist er irgendwann nur noch einer von vielen in der Entwicklung.

Or the other way around, cross post from the main platform (lemmy, kbin) to reddirt.

This also makes the new platform more visible on the sinking ship.

I like the way threaded comments are colored in the default scheme. Makes it very easy to see which subcomment belongs to which parent.

With a bunch of vertical lines, I quickly lose track.

But I very much appreciate all the crafting and tinkering going on! It's nice to see things grow.

You’ll love what r/steam did.

I do! LOL! Thanks for letting us know.
