Except behaw sniped connection to some servers

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Most servers do. Even Lemmy.World defederized from those tankie servers.

Imo that’s the beauty of how all of this works. If you’re on Beehaw and don’t like how they’re doing things, you can leave and go to another server without issue. It’s not like Reddit where you’re just sol.

Is there a tool to sync account's community subscription? It takes time to re-subscribe to all the communities of interest so it's not so trivial to migrate instance

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

As far as I know, there isnt any Tool regarding this (yet)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate calls itself "migrate", but judging from a quick glance at the code it takes one primary account and adds all the subscriptions the primary has, but the secondary doesn't, to any number of secondary accounts.

So it's really a one-directional sync without deleting.

If you were using Apollo you could export a list of your subreddit s and import it to wefwef.app (currently the best client for mobile)

It'll still take you time to migrate over, but in the end it will be worth it. Remember, with Lemmy YOU do the organization - there could be multiple instances with your favorite subreddit, it's up to you to pick what you want.

Don't blindly consume content, be picky.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m new to all of this, but my understanding is they defederated with lemmy.world as well. Would this impact them negatively in the long run considering this instance has such a large user base?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes and no. It might hurt their potential userbase, but beehaw also is about quality over quantity, and these moves are an effort to enfore that policy.

Overall Id say its about even.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Honestly that's why I chose an instance that federates with both. There's no need to choose only between lemmy.world or beehaw.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

As is their right to do

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is good, but misses a glaring issue/confusion that you can have an "aww" community on each server which are totally unrelated.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

You could do that on reddit too you just had aww awww awwww etc. This way isn't any different as it tells you what server aww you are reading. You then just community search aww and subscribe to the ones you want.

How do usernames work? Can the same username be claimed multiple times (via registering on multiple instances)?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

I don't see why not... It's like registering [email protected] and [email protected]... Same name but not really

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Technically you only need to register in one instance and can interact across lemmy and kbin instances, but you can register the same username in various instances in case of defederation. Lemm.ee federates with all and all instances federate with it for example, beehaw.org doesn't allow signups and has defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes. Claim 'em all now if that concerns you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I can’t think of a cool enough of a vanity name to secure anything.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You can have a display name different from your username (just learning all this myself). Then you can use the same account across instances with different display names or vice-versa.

Love the usenet-ish federation. Now if only we had federated killfiles linked to our accounts. It'd be cool to raise/lower scores privately to bubble things up you care about and kill what you don't.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, a feature “people who like the comments you liked also liked these comments:”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Then it's nothing to worry about.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And now to blow everybody's minds, by visualizing that lemmy, mastodon and most other federated services are also inter-connected and can interact with one another.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

See, I keep seeing people say that the federated services can interact with each other but I have yet to understand what that means. I have a lemmy and a mastodon account but I can't figure out how they're supposed to connect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

As I understand it, that would mean that lemmy servers would load content from mastodon servers and you could see them from your server. However, lemmy does not implement that yet (they are/were just two developers, so need to prioritize).

So technically we should be able go comment from lemmy in a mastodon post, correct?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

@Wild_Mastic yes, this is someone replying from mastodon. By default it adds ats for the thread and all comment parents to my post, but I can delete them.

I got here by finding this comment on the lemmy.world website and copying the URL into my mastodon client manually. If I wanted to spend time here specifically, I could get a feed of all your posts by following @Wild_Mastic, follow all posts from this sub magazine as if it were a user reblogging all content in it by following @main. I think there is also a way to follow any post to the instance but that would be something of a firehouse of information.

Regrettably, there is no great way to easily post with a nonlocal non-lemmy/non-kbin account to my knowledge currently outside of subscribing to these places prior to the post being made that you want to comment / interact with. But that could be done either with improved apps on desktop / mobile, integrations from existing apps or even something like a web browser addon perhaps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Oh cool, so the process is a bit clunky but it can be done. Thanks!

I think so. But we can't microblog here (kbin has both). I know I've seen mastadon users comment on lemmy posts before.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

They’ve stated that long term they would like reconnect with larger instances. The problem is that federation, afaik, is all or nothing. So they can’t let lemmy world users view their content without also allowing them to post/comment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

That is awesome!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I've been trying to figure out Lemmy since the black-out and I find this very helpful. Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

enjoying very much indeed

[–] Cryst 2 points 2 years ago

This shit is wild, honestly!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is something I really missed at the beginning when I created my Acc. I just didn't understand how everything works. Would be really helpful if something like this would be on all Lemmy sign up pages.

If you understand how it works the Fediverse just really extremely awesome.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Can I somehow block bots? Someone created a soccer club community and is just spamming posts there.
