You'll see the most on the original community's instance, but even that won't show everything due to how activity Pub works and some platforms allowing "anonymous follow" and the like. #privacy
Trying to move my #Goodreads data to #Bookwyrm, apparently it will take no more than a month to export from Goodreads…. This is exceptional engineering.
@weston May usually means "it won't take nearly this long, but probably longer than you think, and we dont' want tyou to contact us to bother us about it"
Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there's no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they're an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse....
on a related note, hosting images on your server for users on other servers, eats up a lot of resources too. I know some instances have stopped allowing saving of images.
Anne McCaffrey's worldbuilding is incredible, and the background hints about the world that slowly build over the course of the series are wonderfully well done.
@petrichor I've been using Librarything.com to keep trackign of my reading for years, but what I was really hoping was that I could find a better solution for my "to read" than a random spreadsheet. Of course the list will always be growing more quickly than my "read and reviewed" list. My local library used to have a "book queue" built into their catolog which I kept it at, then I exported it just before they shut that down, I tried to import to Bookwyrm and got a bunch of mush and never took more than a few minutes to try to massage teh data to fit....
The good thing about Free Software is you are never at the mercy of a single provider. If you and your friends like Lemmy, you can always use lemmy. The amount of content might not be what it once was, but you are welcome to use and change, or pay someone else to let you use/change, the service forever. (Like pump.io used to be the whole #Fediverse and now identi.ca is little more than a internet graveyard save me 4 bots, and six people that cross post to Mastodon, but even it may come back now that /u/@evan indicated he's adding ActivityPub to it now that its all the rage.
I may have a user bias, but I think KBin is already started down that path, of actually making a usuable platform for both communities and users. Unlike say Lemmy that doesn't even really let you follow individual users, and Mastodon, which lets you follow Lemmy Communities, but its hard to follow threads because every post just looks like a Re-Toot by the community "user"
Then again Friendica is pretty nice too, it treats Lemmy communities just as if they are Friendica Forums, and it supports other platforms in addition to ActivityPub, including Diaspora*, and allows for integration with Email, Calendar, etc. with several very different "themes" to choose from, with the default, Firo(?), being a UI ver similar to the world's most popular social media platform, Facebook.

12 years ago. Wonder what Lemmy will look like in 12 years? (lemmy.world)
