I feel like it’s because of the risky nature of video content and it appearing to be hosted by the site

I run a small instance that doesn’t have open registrations and is very limited in who it follows to prevent risky videos from accidentally being rehosted (and to host content I helped make)

I would definitely reword your original post, it’s very misleading with how it’s worded now

(Eg “How I feel” -> “how individual users feel”)

It was really easy to update as well this time around

Lemmy instances can enable an option to prevent non-admins from creating communities, so if it isn’t available on your instance (usually in the header area on the website) then your instance admins have disabled that option

A possible solution to moderation is allowing communities to delete a parent comment (+ the child comments) from that community w/o actually fully deleting the comment

Therefore if you view that specific post with the context of a specific community, you only see the comments that are not deleted, which have (most likely) been moderated already

If you view the source post directly, you would see all the comments for that post

With the feature request I posted on GitHub, it would work similarly to reposting/reblogging on Mastodon.

Except inside Lemmy anyone who can post in the community would (most likely) create a post linking to an existing post and it would appear that the post mentioned just got posted into that community

Moderators would ideally see who created that crosspost and have the ability to block that person from crossposting (or posting entirely) to that community w/o affecting the third-party post

If someone wouldn’t want their posts crossposted they can just block the community’s actor (account)

It would also allow for Lemmy users to crosspost posts from other Fediverse services, such as Mastodon

Eg you see a post on Mastodon that would fit great in a startrek community, you would be able to cross post that Mastodon post into that community

This would enable individual posts to gain traction and comments without having comments/replies being spread across multiple places

Edit: it would work very similarly to reposting/reblogging on mastodon

Video hosting is a very expensive process and peertube does a lot more stuff to video files compared to Lemmy/mastodon

I’m not sure if this would be feasible for development or peertube hosts but idk, it would be a neat idea though

I don’t know Rust well enough to implement it in the core of Lemmy, instead it’d be another service instances would run then do some reverse proxy magic to properly run it on their servers

but I’m planning to use it for canvas 2024, so in a couple months there should be at least a functional version published on github (or some other code platform) (i’ll post updates to this on !canvas@toast.ooo & probably my mastodon)

OpenID is a federated protocol and it would honestly be great if Fediverse projects added it to the core servers

more info on this

The instances page at join-lemmy is completely automated

This definitely needs to get pushed to the two main devs for lemmy as they control that website

No worries man, it’s a definite change from how the internet currently exists (i’ll make a landing page explaining all these in more detail in the coming days)

The first link, !canvas@toast.ooo, will open up the community (the Lemmy equivalent of Reddit’s “subreddits”). Being subscribed to that community will allow posts to the community to show up in your home feed

Matrix

Matrix is a chat protocol that is a federated live chat system, the Matrix protocol is not ActivityPub (what Lemmy, Mastodon and others run on) it runs on it’s own protocol. The most popular client for Matrix is Element. You can host your own homeserver using Synapse, but it’s highly recommended to use their main instance (matrix.org – it’s also the default option when you open Element in browser).

Matrix is setup in a way that you don’t have to worry about missing old messages when you are on a new instance. When you join a new room (“channel”) in Matrix, you will automatically be able to read old chat messages by backfilling old messages. Matrix also runs a very convenient website to share rooms with other people (matrix.to – which is linked in my original comment) that will open a list of apps to open the room with (no vendor lock in).

Matrix is designed in a way were it doesn’t matter what instance you are registered under. No matter the instance, you’ll be able to read the chat, history and participate in live conversation.

Hopefully this cleaned some stuff up for you and like I said at the start of the post, I’ll be making a landing page also explaining this stuff to help other people navigate this as well :)

That seemed to be a major hiccup this time around, getting the word out there

my plan for next year’s is to give 30 days and 7 day notice before the event starts

make sure you’re subscribed to !canvas@toast.ooo & in the Matrix space so you don’t miss it next year

I ran a fork of pxls for this event and they have their own instance at https://pxls.space, and compared to pixelcanvas.io, is moderated (if that’s what you’re looking for) :)

fixed 👍

I didn’t advertise it in the general project chat, I sent it in the general admin chat

my reasoning was to “surprise” the general users of lemmy but still give admins plenty of time to prepare for it

if you’re an instance admin, there is a Matrix room specifically for instance admins & canvas here

Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!

I do plan on running one next year, possibly with a smaller canvas

but with the amount of people interested after the event concluded, we might stick with the same size for next year, but who knows right now 😉

Make sure you’re in the Lemmy community (!canvas@toast.ooo) and the Matrix space so you don’t miss it!

It was very difficult notifying people of the event, but I am planning to run another one next year!
