Well yeah some of the people, but I think the majority (or at least a large portion of them) will want a similar alternative to switch to, along with an entirely new generation of people

nucleative put 2 different ideas in their comment actually.

The first idea was moveable accounts, just transferring like Mastodon does, which still gives the instance admin a chance to decline or ban you.

The 2nd idea was the account working on all instances at any time by using public/private key encryption, this could cause issues with moderation.

I guess you could combine the ideas to require an explicit transfer, while still using the encryption keys to maintain ownership of old content in some way, maybe.

Lemmy's export/import settings isn't really that different from what Mastodon does, since you normally can't follow Lemmy users anyways, so there are no followers (or very few) to transfer.

This is another reason why when we tell Reddit users to use Lemmy, we should give them a link to a specific instance that is known to have a smooth and quick signup

IDK, people will probably eventually leave Reddit, as they left Digg and Myspace and many others. Where would they go aside from the Fediverse? Almost all new alternatives being built are using the Fediverse, and it's the only way to get more than 1000 users currently.

It might not be Lemmy, it might even be a platform that doesn't exist yet, but they'll be here in the Fediverse with us.

Most platforms die or never catch on at all, but the Fediverse allows the platforms to rotate in and out without losing the users or content.

I believe this is being improved in the v1.0 release of Lemmy coming soon:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5057

and they have other ideas in their issues log to further improve, like:

This sounds like a moderation nightmare. Just create a troll account on one instance and now you can use it to login to every other instance and start spreading hate. When that instance bans you then you just move to the next instance? These instance admins don't even see your signup application, they can't stop you?

most of the replys seem to be, "it's too hard/confusing to sign up" we won't get these people to sign up anyways

I often see people on Reddit saying they had issues with the confirmation email, definitely something for instance admins to look into

and I think Lemmy now allows resending so that's good

usually when I tell someone what an instance is, I throw a few synonyms in there

I feel like just saying "instance/proxy" can help, providers sounds good too, also gateways, servers, relays...

I made an old discussion about this actually

well I was speaking in theory, just the idea, of course this stuff can be abused

but imagine if they actually only used it for illegal content, like the really bad stuff

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

interesting idea actually, strengthening the crowd sourced filtering

but downvotes don't delete posts, so you still need a real moderator

maybe the idea is that round keys will have less typos than rectangular keys that are all touching each other?

First ever sub 1:25

I love the no cape category, I think the cape can be a bit overused because it's so good

The first day is Group A with ByuN, Creator, SHIN, Gerald, and Clem.

Here's the first day of matches:

 

fight starts at 16m41s in the video

Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2376229908?t=0h16m41s

 

I noticed if I change the Original Publication Date on my videos it affects their position in the Recently Added list

https://spectra.video/videos/browse?scope=local&live=false&c=true&s=3

I feel like it should only affect the sort by "Original Publication Date" which is a separate feature
