Yes. But you can still do that, there are so many unmoderated communities anyway.

90% of Lemmy’s storage/bandwidth load comes from the top 100 communities. So communities with lil activity probably wouldn’t create much of a burden.

And yes, both instances must register on the site and choose which instances they allow. Either allowing instances explicitly or with some filters.

Maybe. I need to check Kbin API docs.

Rust? eww 🤮. Someone should rewrite it in Java(!)

Thank you for the suggestions. I just created an account on jabber.hot-chilli.net and downloaded Gajim. It looks really cool!

I’ve used Matrix for months and agree with most points. I would like to try XMPP but it is clear that it does not have the best onboarding experience.

The problem I’ve observed with XMPP as an outsider is the lack of a standard. Each server or client has its own supported features and I’m not sure which one to choose.

Which client would you recommend?

I’ve never used XMPP. Can someone compare it with Matrix?

It wasn’t but now it does I guess. I just searched a community didn’t existed locally on my instance and I got same result as you. No votes, no comments. I think this is enough to open an issue in the Lemmy repo.

You need to search them to make them available to your instance. You can also use lemmony or lemmy community seeder to automate it if you care enough.

There’s a library for JS: https://join-lemmy.org/api/index.html

Well, that’s probably requires a back-end server and a database.

Yeah that’s true. We just need to research who owns the TLD before long-term site and everything is ok.

That’s the difference I’m trying to explain. If you give them, you have no right. If they do it themselves, then you can at least sue.

It’s like I stop locking my door because there’s a chance burglars could break into my house and steal things at any time.

So why the New York Times sued OpenAI? There are multiple cases regarding this. Why do online and public platforms feel entitled to sue AI companies (according to you)?

If OpenAI and NYT were 2 news sites in the fediverse and had the ability to share their news with each other; I’m sure NYT couldn’t file such a lawsuit.

Nope. The ones you’re mentioned are gTLD (generic top-level domain) but most of the other domains are generic TLD too. See here for the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

Just don’t use country-code TLDs because they can removed by those countries. For example fmhy.ml and now queer.af.

Giving them your own data legally and that they illegally fetch your data is not same.

Another reason to not use ccTLDs.

It just making things easier and cleaner. When you remove a container, you know there is no leftover except mounted volumes. I like it.

Yes it is possible and I want to implement it soon, but I can’t give a date. I’m thinking of making it so that when the bot is mentioned in a reply to a comment, make it notify comments only on that comment chain.

TBH I don’t like those bots either 👍
