I feel that, while lemmy is still a work in progress, it is already pretty adequate for solving this need. If you want to subscribe to other instances you can do it from within your insance by going up to communities and searching. You can also click the all tab and see a bunch of instances from around lemmy that your instance is federated with.

I think mastadon struggled with this because the twitter model is to follow people and depending how far removed the servers are this can be trickier. Compared to lemmy where people interested in a single subject will likely target and find the subject theyre interested in and bring themselves together naturally.

Furthermore I think some people are splitting up and dividing into sub instances and tiny subjects a little prematurely. Reddit didnt get super esoteric with it's subs until it got big and the larger subs either declined or got too noisy to talk about certain things. Like for example how beehaw has an operatingsystems instance instead of a linux, ubuntu, macos, windows, fedora, archinux, opensuse, openbsd, etc. Right now there arent enough of us that we dont need to subdivide.

I've seen people literally signing up here just to make like 50 empty communities and not post or comment on anything at all. Definitely a lot of folks just trying to stake some territory that they think will be valuable in the future.

I’m pretty confident we’ll eventually see some form of voluntary synchronization between identical communities added to either the codebase or a popular client app. “Owning” an individual instance’s community will be worthless.

Im sure some of it is staking out territory, but I think a good chunk of it is just that modern reddit mindset. The mindset is that of course you cant have good gaming discussion on gaming you need to have truegaming, and games, and linux_gaming, and patientgamers, and etc. The thing is you can and things are small enough on all instances even lemmy.ml and beehaw that you can talk about it in one place.

The reason reddit had so many is that it would rapidly homogenise into giant echo chambers with minimal community. Minority perspectives were supressed or drowned out by lurker voting.

New subs were being made to recapture giant subs' original intentions, or specialise, yo put minority perspectives of the Hot page and curate a community as a result.

Lemmy isn't big enough to homogenise like that, at least not yet.

I also like the beehaw has a mission for community in mind, supported by having an application process; and their having prepared umbrella communities that will prevent echo chambers.

Beehaw is definitely getting hammered too though; it's probably the second- or third-largest instance atm.

Very true. It would be sad to build up a persona on a smaller instance to then have it go dark and take your user with it. Other than losing your collection of "upvotes," you can just recreate a new user with the same display name on another instance and keep going. 👍

Let me see if I underatand this correctly:

If I create an account on a random, small instance. And then go to the "all communities" feed. I can automatically see all communities that are in my instance. In addition to that, I can see all communities of other Lemmy instances, that are "federated". But I cannot see other communities from other nstances, unless I go on there, find the communitis and manually subscribe to them (I believe there are other ways to get them to show up, like using the search etc.?)

So, as a normal user. Who's just looking for a replacement for /r/all, wouldn't joining the largest lemmy instance that is fedarated to many others (Just by how many users it has, because it's the users who link instances by their actions?) make perfect sense?

The all communities tab should be showing you communities from every instance you are federated with. It's true that they won't show up in your feed until someone on your instance connects to the instance it's on at least once, but you don't need to be on a massive server to be connected to all the major communities right from the start.

Based on my previous experience running a Mastodon server, 90%+ of people are going to concentrate on already popular servers, especially the "official" one. I suppose I will also close (or be strict about) registration at some point myself, but I have a feeling I am not going to have to worry about it for a long time. My goal now is just to get some friends and acquaintances to join any lemmy instance, bonus points if it is mine.

I've just started my journey into lemmy, but I have to say, the federation part definitely needs better tooling. Like exploring beyond the borders of my instance is (at least using Jerboa) relatively hard. It feels very much like distinct universes, and less like a single space (like Reddit).

Well, since I am one of the people who chose the "official" server on Lemmy as well as on Mastodon, I will tell you why I did it: The "official" server will most likely be the one, that has the least chance to be abandoned/closed at some time in contrast to a small server maintained by some student as a side-project (no offense :-) ). I don't want to loose everything and start at zero, so I chose the most "reliable" server.

Yeah the people that say "what instance you join doesn't really matter aside from your local page" when it does. It might be easier to get into an instance with only one other person, but that doesn't mean that instance will continue to exist a year from now or even tomorrow.

I absolutely understand. I used to run a Mastodon server, and stopped when it no longer interested me. I never really used twitter anyway whereas I am on reddit most every day, so I am expecting this to hold my interest/attention longer. I run a number of services for myself already (git, password manager, media hosting, authentication, etc) so the burden of one more thing in my homelab is minimal vs someone who isn't doing that sort of thing.

Overall, some manner of truly federated and distributed user identity is something the current fediverse seems to be lacking. Nobody has really adopted DID yet and most of its registries still rely on some sort of central authority for identity regardless.

Where is the content stored by the way? On the posting user's home server, on the destination community server, on both, or on every lemmy server? It wouldn't be so bad to lose a username on one server if it shuts down - just create a new one - but I want to be sure my contributions stay accessible indefinitely.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the source of truth is the community's instance, that instance then informs the instances of anyone subscribed to that community. (This is all based on my understanding of how the pieces in ActivityPub could be fit together to build the features lemmy has)

Problem is that a) new users don’t know that they can join communities across servers, and b) it is intuitive use start with the servers that a lot of people like.

Instance browsing and onboarding is probably the biggest challenge to Lemmy’s growth. The current experience either scares new people away, or encourages them to congregate on a limited set of instances.

It's not silly at all. I also made an account there before realizing the admins are tankies. It honestly sketches me out about Lemmy in general considering they're the two lead (and currently only?) devs. Casts a big shadow over all of Lemmy when the devs are posting Xinjiang genocide denialism and their instance is at the top of the recommendations on join-lemmy.org. With lemmy.grad pretty high up there too.

Yeah that’s what Lemmy started out as. The thing is with all the Reddit refugees flooding in it is diluting out the tankies. Besides, lemmygrad.ml is blocked by many instances. As for the values of the devs the great thing is that Lemmy is FOSS so if they go rouge someone will just make a fork of Lemmy.

At least with the way Lemmy is designed it doesn't seem like even the main devs can have much of an impact.

They even write themselves that if they made changes to the Lemmy codebase that some instance admins didn't like, then those admins can decide not to upgrade their instance. The code is also open sourced so anyone with some tech know-how can fork the codebase and remove whatever they don't like.

This is the lead dev on Russia's invasion, total support here and other comments:

I'm not very concerned with the "communist" or tankie part fwiw. And while I do have strong opinions on Russia's invasion, I'm far more concerned with the 180 shift in position displayed here, and I have yet to find an explanation. I don't think he wants to talk about it, but a quick "I changed my mind because xyz" could alleviate my concerns. Clear communication is important if you're gonna have such strong opinions imo.

I'm not trying to villainize him or cancel lemmy, he seems like a decent person and we've even had a brief interaction here... But I hope you can see why I'm cautious about things. The whiplash is my main issue, not which side he picks.

And I'm not here to stir the pot, it's just that you specifically asked and I had already personally looked into things.

Mods: I won't be spamming this, just wanted to put it out there once.

However... if the platform prospers and attracts enough other devs, none of this even remotely matters, and that's why I'm still here, I want to believe this can be set aside.

Since they didn't really answer your question, I can say that the people complaining are basically the type who are "As Progressive As They Come" who think it's evil and indicative of brainwashing or ulterior motive to speak positively of China, Venezuela, Cuba, etc. They just can't help but immediately jump to buzzwords instead of concretely describing people's positions.

Unfortunately an account transfer feature is pretty complicated to develop so it might still be a while. Devs need to make sure it doesn't cause issues with federation when content changes home instances and domains, and transferring live user content over while retaining points, interactions by other accounts, and while having the same timestamp but now being hosted on a different instance, while ensuring there is only one canonical location/URL of the content on the fediverse, is not easy.

Beehaw is not nice. Just look at their "rules"

If you’re worried about how our rules are explicitly open to interpretation, that’s on purpose and I hope the text above helps to clarify the vision that I have (and others of the community share) around how I’d like to see this community evolve and what we’d like to think we’re doing differently on this website. I’m not banning people for no reason or simply because they don’t agree with me. I want people to disagree with me. I want diverse opinions in here. But I also need this place to be nice and members of the community need to be willing to hold each other accountable in creating that kind of space. Of note, I’ve never banned a single person without openly discussing what happened with other individuals who participate in this community and asking for their input. I can’t promise this will always be the case, but I can promise that I’ll be open to having a discussion with any community member who feels that something unjust happened with another user or to themselves.

Users from beehaw can't even see this comment, nor yours if you reply to this one.

The rules being "We reserve the right to ban you whenever we want.” are not rules, just check their modlog, they're ban-happy.

All I know is that you should avoid lemmy.ml. In their /c/WorldNews community, an admin gave a four day ban to a user for posting an Axios article about the Chinese succession plan for the reason of "Orientalism". Those guys are tankie shills. In my experience, lemmy.ca, sh.itjust.works, and lemmy.one seem solid. Obviously I personally went with lemmy.ca. But you should check out the admin profiles before you join any instance. That will tell you most of what you need to know. That and the modlogs (found at the bottom of the page) that will tell you what posts have been taken down and what people have been banned by mods on various communities.

Also I've seen admins and users in the most popular/main instances acting like if not allowing adult content will keep their instances safe from NSFL or troll content or as if that will save them from the problems to moderate that kind of content, which honestly is disingenuous and/or naive (at least until the instances actually have to deal with big constant activity).

decksdark 27 points 3 years ago

I chose lemmy.ml based on two things:

I wanted a server that wasn't likely to close I don't really know for sure, but I imagine it's easy to underestimate how much money or time is required to run a server. And I'd really prefer not having to worry about migrating. The 'run by Lemmy's developers' part makes me think that either the risk will be lower or the people running the server will know how to prevent reaching a point like that.
I didn't want to join a very specific instance As I see it, there are two possible scenarios:
- The instance I join will affect the content I'm exposed (and not exposed) to, in which case I want to experience 'the whole internet' rather than a section of it.
- The instance I choose is irrelevant to the content I get, in which case, (apart from community rules) it shouldn't really matter which one I choose, so I would just join the biggest instance.

Still something that could help with the choosing-an-instance process is to display in the list of servers the community rules and if they are blocking certain communities.

As someone who intentionally joined a different instance, the biggest issue is the “federation” doesn’t allow cross-authentication. Clicking a link to another instance moves me to that instance where I’m not logged in. Authentication should really be cross-instance.

SmugBedBug 18 points 3 years ago

I think this occurs because people haven't gotten used to linking to communities on other instances properly.

They usually post the direct link like beehaw.org/c/technology . Instead they should start using the federated link which is more instance agnostic like this: /c/technology@beehaw.org . This link will load the community from your instance.

FWIW, on a browser the /c/technology link you posted isn’t a hyperlink, so I can’t actually interact with it. It doesn’t work in mlem either.

sunaurus 13 points 3 years ago

For now, as a workaround, you can manually make it a hyperlink: /c/technology@beehaw.org

Just use [/c/technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This should open correctly on all instances.

Undearius 9 points 3 years ago

Maybe a pull request can be made to change the auto fill behaviour. At least in the browser, start typing !technology and it will display a list of the technology communities. Unfortunately, selecting one, !technology@beehaw.org for example, autofills to [!technology@beehaw.org](https://beehaw.org/c/technology). This method opens up the Beehaw instance directly.

Maybe it should autofill !technology@beehaw.org to [!technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This method opens the community through your current instance.

Seems like line 703 of https://github.com/... is the relevant code. I'm away for the weekend so can't do much myself at the moment

Yeah. A shorter-term solution might be a browser plugin that recognizes links like that and converts it to a hyperlink to that community on whatever instance you tell it. I'm not a programmer but that does seem like a relatively simple plugin for somebody that actually knows what they're doing.

assuming the servers are properly federated you should be getting a link that is still on your server. i mean, you got to this lemmy.ml link alright at least

wait, i think i get what you mean, like if you get an external link while not browsing on your instance? you should just be able to paste that link into the search function to find your instance's version of the post

links that you find while browsing on reddthat.com will send you to other instances? that's super odd, I'm not getting that behavior with midwest.social or lemmy.ml, using mobile or desktop firefox. just pasting the links into the search to find your instance's version of the post is a bit of a janky workaround but it should work. you might try posting in https://reddthat.com/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

If I click the link you provided, my browser takes me to Lenny.ml. There I am not logged in and my credentials from feddit.de are not working. So I cannot post there.

I think it only works if the link points to a community on another instance. Like !memes@lemmy.ml . Maybe this is the intended behavior.

The downside is, you can not visit an instance and view the local communities and their post and interact with them. This makes it a lot more attractive to join the instance where the communities are you want to frequent.

Edit: the link to the community does not work either for me. But I am kind of sure, that there are links that work as intended and make you just view the community from your own insurance…

This is exactly why federation is better than centralization - no single point of failure. If Reddit decides to do something nefarious like cutting off your 3pa access or Facebook sells all your personal data, you have no recourse. But if you disagree with some admin actions on lemmy, you can go to another instance. Yeah you lose your karma, but there is no shortage of usernames. I guess the only single point of failure is the developer of the lemmy software itself. From that perspective, also joining the one lemmy instance run by the lemmy developer doesn't help things xD

It's at the top of the list on join-lemmy.org's popular server list, next to lemmy.world and beehaw.org, of course new users will sign up on the more popular ones. Plus, a few posts on reddit called out these three which set everything in motion.

Once folks start to understand how it works, they might start to sign up on other ones, for a "cooler handle @ address" for their user, or register a domain and start their own instance like I did.

Of course, this is just stuff on the internet, so I can’t fully say how true things are. But it seems like there are a few different places that are talking about this a little bit.

I'm not aware of the voat debacle, I just arrived in the fediverse. If you have any links for me I'll be grateful.

I think it's fair to block stuff you don't want to see. But to have every major player in Lemmy block it creates a divide based on... Nothing much?

I am interested both in lemmygrad stuff, and mostly every other instance. This divide will only cause me to have to create at least 2 accounts, and artificially deflates lemmygrad just... Because people are red scared?

That might me a fraction of the reason why lemmy.ml has the popularity it does.

I’m not aware of the voat debacle, I just arrived in the fediverse. If you have any links for me I’ll be grateful.

I don't have a links to share on the matter, but here's my understanding of what happened...

Some time ago, some users felt dissatisfied with Reddit and decided to make their own version, voat.co. It advocated for more freedom than Reddit, but the huge downside with this is that it attracted large swaths of right wing extremists, Nazis, racists, misogynists, and otherwise deplorable human beings, which made it a cesspool for human garbage...and not fun to browse for people just wanting to chill and have a good time. It eventually shut down, although supposedly the shut down was for lack of funding.

I am very highly against groups that advocate for genocide and human rights oppression. Dangerous extremist groups like this poison everything they touch and I think it's best that most people don't associate with them...be they right wing fascists or left wing fascists.

nephs 1 point 3 years ago

Thank you very much!

You forgot to mention center wing fascists. :D

We don't have to go much deeper into this, but I don't think it's possible to list many governments that did not commit genocide and human rights oppression.

If you look closely at definitions of the words and ideas in political discussions, you will see that many of them are discussed in abstract, and that those abstract ideals benefit one tiny specific part of the population.

Anyway, I'll try not pollute this too much, but feel free to dm me to keep it up.

Cheers, and thanks for the tale of voat!

Functionally it's not very different. Everyone on a different federated server can access all the other "subreddits." However, your account is hosted by the server you joined. If it were to go down, I suppose your account would disappear.

Good question, it varies by server. Beehaw.org for example limits sub creation to admins.

Jerboa now doesn't have community search, but you can visit your instance website and subscribe. If it hasn't needed community, go to community search and put full community name prepended with !, like ! Lemmy@lemmy.ml. then wait for like 10s and do the search again, your instance will fetch it and add to its community list.

On jebora on the bottom next to the home button is the community list view and you can search it to find instances.
