Lemmy account age and Github experience are absolute orthogonal data points, how is that even something to be brought as an argument?

If you want to suggest features or improvements, please take a look at the Github repository.

The solution is to go to subscribe to Reddit RSS feeds so that we find stuff to repost here.

(Only half-joking)

Laudable effort, horrible execution.

It would be faster and easier to adopt any solution like this if it was implemented client-side.

Right at this moment, it seems that any requests to your server return 500. :(

Seems to be working fine now. My instance can find yours without any problems.

Can you just tell us what is your domain, so we can help you troubleshoot it?

Open source or GTFO. :)

Seriously, Lemmy is AGPL. Any client you do and any functionality you build on top of it must be AGPL as well.

Now I am confused, are you able to make changes to the Lemmy codebase? A fork? If you want to find a way to fund development, why not just work with the current team?

As a concept, it could be a valid approach. But you need to put actual numbers to see if things make sense:

• What would be the monthly membership fee?
• What would be a reasonable SLA? If there is an outage on a Friday night, are the members okay if they wait until Monday to get it back someone online?
• What do you think is a good hour rate to pay for an admin?
• What should you pay for someone to stay on call?
• Can I run bots? How many? Does each bot count as a separate account?

I think you’ll see that as soon as you start asking people to put money and to feel like they “own” it, the demands will increase and so will the costs.

For reference, the one coop I am somewhat familiar is from Mastodon: cosocial.ca. Each member pays CA$50/year for an account. I think this is particularly too expensive. There are other cheaper “commercial” alternatives that charge less:

• omg.lol offers mastodon and some other services, for $20/year
• mastodon.green offers accounts at $2/month
• Communick offers Mastodon/Lemmy/Funkwhale/Matrix accounts for $29/year (Disclosure, I’m founder)

No flair. What you need is:

<post title> @community@instance
<line break>
<post body>

Edit: to those downvoting: If you think what I am saying is wrong, how about giving a better answer?

Here is a Mastodon Post and here is how it ended up in Lemmy (The NSFW tag was because I mistakenly tried to add the title as a content warning)

Embrace ActivityPub and use the /outbox endpoint directly.

Somewhat related: would you be interested in joining https://fediverser.network? The project is meant to help people migrate from Reddit to Lemmy automatically. People need to authenticate once with their Reddit credentials, and the system finds the best instance for them and looks at their list of subscribed subreddits to automatically find and follow the most relevant Fediverse communities.

The project is now at the point where more people can join and help spread out the word to Redditors, so the idea now is to get more people there to sign up (to help fill the crowdsource map of community recommendations) and to get more Reddit moderators who might be interested in helping their communities to move out of there.

Fair enough. I think I’d rather be more mindful of what “mode” I am browsing around. I stick with only the subscribed communities, and whenever I am in the mood for something new, I take some time to browse around the instances to see what’s out there. Browsing by all and then blocking all the crappy stuff seems to me like a constant effort with very little potential reward.

wouldn’t it be easier to stop browsing by all and only see the things you want to see?

Wait, how many communities do you need to block every day for this to be an issue?

It looks like your cloudflared is trying to reach the Lemmy UI directly? What is the URL your tunnel is configured to reach?

I might be wrong, but I believe that lemmy-ui default port is 1234, not 1236.

Can you get the the backend to work? If you make a request to <your domain>/api/v3/site, do you get a response?

No one really depends on these corporate services. People are just too lazy and conformist to give up on the convenience that they bring.

They seem to be working normally. Check if your instance admin blocked them?
