The fact that this post get as much ↓s as ↑s strengthens OPs whole argument.

Ah, Japan, the country that lives in the future, if the future is the year 2000.

We don’t know how the fediverse would play out in the long term but I expect a few things:

• Lemmy devs will implement locking old posts in the future
• instance owners will decide on their post locking policies
• Many instances will not survive for as long as Reddit survived till today
• Third party archivers (perhaps archive.org among others) will need to step in and archive posts. Ofc archived posts is not interactible.

What’s the purple masto?

Tablets don’t have gpios tho

There’s a lot of artists on the microblog side of the fediverse. It’s just that crossing the boundary to the threadiverse side is a big hassle. Not to mention the one way state of federation between lemmy and mastodon right now makes the other half invisible from this side.

I was put off of one instance by community feud with a self-appointed HOA-type representative, and on another by downvotes on any opinion comment that I made on otherwise empty posts. Switching platform sadly can’t fix the problem of awful people. 😔

Iirc there was a bug with an older version of Lemmy that turns off propagation of content from outside communities/magazines/channels after 3 days without activity. It might have stayed that way even after the updates. Try unsubbing and resubbing again.

You must imagine selfhosters happy.

I mean, what better place to find safe harbor other than Port Royal itself?

A single caveat for lemmy.world users: Since lemmy.world is an ongoing conflict zone network load-wise, trying to log into your account every time the app switches accounts will often fail. Best keep your user account logged in through the default frontend at all times as backup.

I suppose you have never done any server routing coding and has no idea what I’m talking about. I don’t have the gift of eli5-ing this, so I have nothing more to say.

you can’t be mad at both subreddits being too large and controlled by a few power mods, and lemmy having too many duplicate communities all run by different mods.

it is the core virtue of the federation model in the first place, in that if a community on an instance goes down, you have the others as backup.

past a certain size, the content that comes through subs/comms passes by too fast to be digested in time, and other content gets buried, so smaller communities should be more digestable.

as for cross-platform user verification check, lemmy can implement mastodon’s method of instance A giving you a secret to be put to instance B, and if it sees that secret from B, then it knows the user at B is you.

it’s a theoretical example for a mechanism that doesn’t yet exist. you try it now of course it’s not acting like how I proposed.

They can try add more syntax. Maybe extend the @instance paradigm to posts too, so /post/123@foo.bar asks for post #123 at foo.bar instead of locally. They can even make it redirect to a local federated post if it’s already federated to local.
