@Quilly@lealternative@mobileatom for a user coming from Reddit, Lemmy's interface is much more intuitive, but Kbin wanted to target a different niche.
Unfortunately, there are few instances, but they are almost all for testing, except for the developer's (today it is a bit overloaded).
I can't judge from architecture point of view, but I think Kbin may have some dB boost problem, since Kbin users can also follow other users.
@piratepost
I see... Yeah i guess Lemmy is more similar to reddit, it's just that i couldn't really get how it works, even made a post asking bout that but got no response yet
Well, thanks for the short explanation on Kbin there! @lealternative@mobileatom
Having understood the fediverse on a theoretical level but not ever actually stepping into it, it's really amazing to see the interconnectedness of it in real time :)
@piratepost mmh, ist vielleicht missverständlich ausgedrückt ?
war so gemeint:
Beitrag = Thread
Antwort = Antwort auf einen Beitrag/ Thread in einer Community
Mastodon-User können nur upvoten (nicht downvoten wie Friendica oder Hubzilla-User)
Daher auch weiter unten:
"Bei Mastodon ist zu beachten, dass (...) bei Beiträgen, die von dort aus erstellt werden, der Beginn der Nachricht als Überschrift angezeigt wird" @lealternative@jakob
@piratepost
danke aber für den Hinweis! Es soll ja verstanden werden, deshalb: wenn es einen Vorschlag gibt, wie es besser verständlich formuliert werden kann, können wir es gerne noch ändern.
@piratepost@lealternative@fediverse@fediversenews Elsewhere I hear that Lemmy's primary instance has a fairly serious moderation problem which the mods – the developers – refuse to address. So there's that.
But, in one sense, yes: this is a second hand account of Lemmy I have not verified. You should also factor THAT into your equations.
THis is the problem with the sort of "smear" or "negativity" habbits on here (and no doubt other/all social media).
That it's almost all hearsay is never stated nor understood. And the fact of the matter is that we all love to get negative about things, so it spreads like fire.
On twitter when taking down the corrupt and powerful, that's probably a good and useful weapon. On the fediverse about other instances and platforms?!?! Probably just a plain destructive behaviour to be frank with you.
If we're all too eager to make sure we're "in the good place" by shooting down anything that could possibly "from the bad place", the problem is we may just end up with not much of a place in the end.
@fishidwardrobe
> the other problem on here is that we all like to gang up to deny that there could ever be a problem on here
I'm all for making specific criticisms, with links to sources or primary evidence. Just spreading scuttlebutt isn't the way to expose or address problems, ever. It is, however, a habit that can be exploited by Bad Actors trying to spread FUD for any number of reasons (commercial motives geoplitical motives, personal grudge, etc)
We're all just grownups talking here. I'm not doing your homework for you. I'm not saying don't use Lemmy, either. If you want a fight, go somewhere else, please.
@jakob@lealternative@piratepost "If I really understood the fediverse…" condescending AND gatekeeping in one package. Thank you so much. Two words, and the second one is "off".
I tried to install lemmy on an ubuntu 20.4 virtual machine without success. The command "cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked --features embed-pictrs" gives a compile error. Instead the command "cargo install lemmy_server --target-dir /usr/bin/ --locked" is fine. I use apache2 and not nginx, so I need to figure out how to configure it. At the moment I can't log in.
Lemmy nasce per essere gestito da nginx e installato da docker. Io invece compilo i sorgenti con Rust e Cargo. Poi uso Apache2 configurato con la configurazione trovata nel link, modificando le porte: 1234 per la interfaccia web lemmy-ui e 8536 per il server Lemmy.
Forse non è la configurazione corretta o Lemmy ha introdotto modifiche al codice al momento non documentate.
"if there is an instance which is not well moderated, and your instance does not block this other one, you receive spam from this instance... independent what you use yourself."
If I may, as a simple user, really not a techie, when I receive spam or hate speech from an instance that my instance moderators do not block, I block the user or the instance.
Honestly not sure the situation is nearly as clean cut as a blanket statement like this makes it out ... and honestly, for an ecosystem that's still trying to get off of the ground and work itself out ... the virality of "bad news" really ought to be avoided.
I could be mistaken, but the deal is that the devs have a political position, understand that not everyone shares it, and encourage new communities/instances and forks.
Seems like what they should have done is create a decent app experience themselves. Too bad no one wanted their app because they already had one, thanks.
@piratepost So is it possible to create a post in a specific Lemmy community from a Mastodon account? If so, how do I do it? Do I need to tag the community or link it somehow in my post? For example if I wanted to post in this community: https://lemmy.ml/c/godot
Happy to make a Lemmy account as well if that works better, but this kind of crossposting is interesting as the format you describe seems quite natural on Mastodon...
You are not logged in.
However, you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon.
To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology
But when I search '!technology' in Mastodon.world, then nothing appears.
So I can't post yet in #Lemmy from my Mastodon account.
I agree, the really interesting part would be if we can post in #Lemmy, a Fediverse equivalent of Reddit, with our Mastodon account.
And the post from @piratepost says that it is possible:
"In fact, even without subscribing to Lemmy, Mastodon users can comment and open threads on the Lemmy communities."
That would really be the magic of Fediverse at work. But does anyone know how to do it?
But otherwise, yes, commenting on ash existing lemmy thread is always possible. Creating a new post or thread requires that the community be tagged and that it is the first tag in the post. The first line of the post will be the title of the post.
Something else to keep in mind is that you should maybe think about asking your mastodon or other platform admins to start their own lemmy instances.
The whole fediverse can’t use a single lemmy instance without ever signing up. It’ll get overloaded and they’ll probably have to stop this feature from working.
Instead, mastodon admins can create instances for their own communities if usage is going to be high enough
so this looks a lot like kbin which i'm also on. are they instances of the same app, like mastodon.social and tech.lgbt are, or are they different apps(probably not the right word), like masto and calckey are?
i'd like to register but i don't wanna go adding to their work load if i'm basically already on there (the app)
@hybridhavoc thanks yeah i don't use it much, it seems like 90% of the content i see on there is from masto so idk... i think based on your comment though i will actually give lemmy a go.
@piratepost@lealternative@fediverse@fediversenews
Feddit would have been a good name for federated Reddit alternative, if the devs had chosen that instead of Lemmy, would it have gained more traction...🤔
In the long run, does the name really matter? Slashdot, Digg, Fark, Reddit... they're all somewhat meaningless names but people flocked to each platform because they provided a community and realtime information about what is happening in the world. I participated in more discussions during my first week on Mastodon than I did the entire time I was on Twitter because it felt like talking with friends and neighbors -- a feeling the bird never provided.
I agree, a name doesn't really matter long term, as over time it takes on its own meaning. The feddit comment, was merely as there would be the familiarity factor for those looking for an alternative to reddit, which would possibly have given more pull in the short term at least, in comparison to the current, which is unfamiliar, to most..
I also stated in another reply that "Lemmy works" so its all good..👍🏻
Oh sure, I wasn't dissing the name idea, just saying the community aspect will probably be more important to building up a new "front page of the internet". I've looked at a couple others (I think Voat most recently?) each time reddit is "about to crash", but being part of the feidiverse is what instantly caught my attention here, and I'm hoping more and more people realize what that can mean for them.
@Shdwdrgn@fisco
Sorry I'm confusing myself now, as I initially replied from my Lemmy account 😅
I realise you weren't dissing anything, & also agree with what you say about mastodon, its a great way to have a discussion & far more engaging & interesting than twitter ever was, for me anyway...The fediverae as a whole & the way different platforms integrate (as I'm finding out) is certainly the way forward..
@fisco1791@lealternative Feddit is the more natural name. We chose it without knowing that a famous German instance had already existed for some years and, for some time now, there has also been a Danish one!
Still, the name Lemmy makes everyone understand that the Fediverse doesn't like marketing but passion... 😀
