Do you think there would be use in having a site like upstract.com (the new popurls) that would aggregate the RSS feeds from all Lemmys and people could just browse through popular somewhat curated posts of the day?
I get the reddit c suite just wants to go public and finally get their payout, which is understandable but if they're out then we're out too. There's better platforms now anyway that need a reason to be used and developed. They could have so easily handled this differently by just making the reddit app experience better than any third party apps today. But here we are and honestly I wouldn't bet my retirement that teenagers will still be posting to reddit in 40 years.
I've been using Lemmy for a week now and honestly I think so. I really like the way it's setup and now that the hug of death is over things are starting to work smoothly. This service is designed for third party apps and over time they will probably become better than what we had for Reddit.
Honestly yes I think it makes sense to do this, as long as the content itself isn't hosted on reddit. It would be cool if somebody could make a bot for mods to enable this in their communities to specify subs to pull posts from and how often.
So they're threatening to do work themselves instead of depending on people to do it for free? Next they'll have the interns making the cat memes for adviceanimals.
My favorite things about this whole debacle is how transparent they're being about how the plan the whole time was to actually just hope we would keep giving them content and moderating for free forever so they could package it up and sell it to wall street. And not just them but all social media companies seem to think this will just work and nobody will mind.
Yeah I have mixed feelings also. It definitely wouldn't get made with the same script today, but also it is how that demographic talks and it's an excellent snapshot of the materialistic culture of the 2000s.
You could try it with "join Lemmy" OR "powered by kbin" in quotes at the end of the query, since one of the two is shown at the bottom of every fediverse page

If you're running python on windows then you need to make sure you're environment variables are updated or else the commands the instructions tells you to put into cmd will do nothing because the path to the application isn't defined.
My dad would always get an iced tea with lemon at Wendy's. So I associate 90s Wendy's with everything bring very yellow and lemony.
I agree, as someone who saw reddit evolve from r/reddit.com to what it is today, it took about 4 years for them to really get to peak old reddit with the introduction of multireddits. Other than that most of the development has been in the third party apps, and really much of that development has been updating the apps to match the evolving OS design language rather than new reddit API endpoints. But we now have the advantage of having a minimum viable product and people with years of experience building and moderating communities.
