I mean, you can just add the federation aspect. It’s opensource, the code is at your fingertips to change as you please.

You can’t fork Reddit

There’s an archive of an old version of Reddit’s code available on Github, so theoretically you can fork it, just not the latest version.

/kbin indeed is dead, and Mbin does have the same feature.

Though worth noting it’s not quite the same as what Piefed has. Piefed combines all posts into one, while Mbin just groups them, but still treats them separately. Still deduplication, but not quite merging.

It’s just how the fediverse works in general. Content is sent to recipients, similar to email. Which includes your followers. But if you’re not a recipient, you never receive the content.

On Lemmy it’s less of an issue for individual users because communities act as relays. They take posts and comments made to them and forward them to all their followers. It is however a problem for communities themselves.

Lemmy does have Lemmy Federate however, which helps improve the reach of its communities. You just enter your community and it’ll use puppet accounts on various instances, both big and small, to subscribe to it, allowing you to reach the world even from a self-hosted instance. I don’t think the Mastodon side has something like that for users.

You can turn the AI off in the Notepad settings. Not the case for Paint though.

You can find Lemmy posts on Mastodon, yeah, but only if it’s been federated there.

In regards to Lemmy, there’s two means of federation I’m aware of:

• When a user of a Mastodon instance is following a Lemmy community, posts made to it are federated to their instance.
• Any registered user on a Mastodon instance can enter the URL of a Lemmy post in their instance’s search field to actively federate it in

You should then be able to find the post on Mastodon either over the community’s profile, via potential hashtags used in it, or possible the author’s profile if that got federated over too (idk if this happens automatically).

If the post was made by an Mbin user, then there’s also the option to follow the user directly instead of the community the post was made in. Not sure if this also applies to Piefed, but definitely doesn’t for Lemmy.

If they have a brain, and they do have the experience from Threads, they don’t need to scrape Lemmy. They can just set up a shell instance, subscribe to Lemmy communities, and then use federation to get their data for free. That doesn’t use robots.txt at all regardless.
