🐌 Slow Software for a Burning World šŸ”„
  • ''about'' is usually always ''about us'' innit?

    btw on the homepage you also got screenshots

    the thing is, bonfire is not a single software like mastodon or lemmy, ideally is more like wordpress for platforms

  • Lemmy federation improvement regarding names and communities

    Hi! It’s me as usual.

    I was wondering if there could be a way for lemmy when federating to at least fetch:

    • community names
    • community nicknames
    • usernames

    I’m a fan of the fact that it doesn’t fetch everything because it would be a mess very quickly and it makes no sense to fetch a whole server because one user of your instance maybe wants to follow a single community from a super big instance… But names? So when people search for communities don’t need to ā€œforceā€ federation check using the exact syntax.

  • Ohhhh I did not expect such an endorsement :D

    Ty a lot

    Predictably rough start because solarpunk and even Reddit are not that famous in italy. Most of the ā€œā€ā€sceneā€ā€ā€ is fine on telegram and discord so asking to speak more in public and less in private is gonna be hard but for the sake of free flow of information and a slower pace social media we will still try u.u

  • [solved] API error in the GUi
  • @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com someone in the GUI should be stated that you need to allowlist gui.fediseer.com to ensure the functionalities u.u

    Solved by allowlisting it

  • [solved] API error in the GUi

    Cannot claim an instance because of API error both with or without mastodon

    Edit solution: allowlist gui.fediseer.com

    Solarpunk Digital Freedom pt 1/2: Free Open Source Software(FOSS) and Linux
  • Then someone could say that foss is too much, better go open source and then the environment will have to take care of the stuff that basic licenses won’t take care of

    I’d rather strive for the better and look for copyfarleft licenses

  • /r/buyfromEU "Europe keeps building social apps no one wants", "No "pick your fediverse server,ā€ no confusion. It’s one big centralized thing, and that’s part of why posts can go viral"
  • I agree with some of the points of the original thread:

    • having Twitter clone or Instagram clone but decentralized kinda sucks no matter how you put it and it’s probably not mass sustainable

    On the other hand… Lemmy is just a forum that can connect to other forums. You don’t find cool subreddits searching for them, the good ones are the ones recommended by other people, usually not by search. The fediverse actually suffers from having a big user base that wants Reddit/twitter/insta but decentralized instead of having small forums/microblogs connected to each other. Also the reason why you see me often advocating for less ā€œgeneralized instancesā€ and wanting more vertical focused ones. This is easily possible with lemmy dividing by topic and with mastodon dividing by localization.

    If you want the fedi to thrive, build lemmy instances focused on being a stand alone forum first and mastodon ones focused on being local first (same for mobilizon)

  • instances main timeline
  • Ye I was not finding it but it’s probably because maybe without federation the setting doesn’t pop up :)

    When not logged in, some instances have ā€œallā€ by default while others have ā€œlocalā€.

    Is there a config line to choose it?

    The world is not so simple and people cannot even imagine the amount of stuff Orban chooses on a daily basis. It would surprise me even if a single voter was aware and agreed on every single thing Orban does and says honestly.

    This applies to every representative democracy obviously.

  • Made a script that converts markdown files to RSS feed
  • I was just thinking of something like this the other day!

    Would this allow someone to just expose a single rss file on the internet instead of a whole blog? For example if one doesn’t want to have a ui for the blog or the files are already published to other sites

    I’d like to know if someone has been successfully hosting Lemmy with yunohost because I’m pondering to start doing it but it’s not available on arm so I cannot test it without start paying a vps.

    Solarpunk Trinity to clear confusion

    I think that often the confusion when talking about solarpunk happens because solarpunk as per now it's a term that includes different subset of its characteristics without being necessarily superimposable with each other

    2 examples:

    • can have solarpunk aesthetic produced in a non solarpunk way
    • can have solarpunk movements not relying on the solarpunk aesthethic

    "Anything threatening to be a subculture is commodified before it can walk"

    I think this reasoning applies well to solarpunk. It’s true that ethical consumerism doesn’t scale etc but we have to resist the urge to give money to the people who will commodify solarpunk just for cheap merch and media.

    For example: game full of bad messages but made by a workers coop and ethically distributed > game with solarpunk aesthethic made by limited liability company that took or wants to take VCs money and run in the capital race

    what happens when user and community have the same name

    From mastodon to follow an account or a community on lemmy you use the @name@server format and there is no difference between a community name and a user-name

    so i was wondering if anyone tried and checked what happened

    can lemmy interact well with other forums?

    Hi! Another question about lemmy development.

    Is lemmy working towards functioning more with discourse, flarum and nodebb federations?

    I think that mastodon kinda fucked the fediverse and having a costellation of linked forums is much more powerful than microblogging so i'm interested in using lemmy as a forum more than a simple link aggregator

    favorite users / friendlist

    Hi!

    In the Apollo app (basically the reason i started using reddit and the reason i also left reddit lol) there was a very useful feature: friends.

    It was not a mutual friendlist like facebook, and not even much of a follow like twitter; it was more a ''favorite users'' list.

    Basically I added in there people that always commented stuff I was interested in and this helped me find new communities and interesting post without relying on other discovery ways. Seen the decentralized nature of lemmy, i think it could be even more useful than on reddit.
