There are so many ways for mods to effectively destroy a subreddit or redirect it while remaining public.

I feel like internet users have become so lazy, stubborn, and resistant to change. I’m pretty sure it used to be easier to get people to move to new things like new forums, Xfire, Ventrillo, IRC, ICQ, AIM… people used to try new things
yea that sounds nasty
just don’t patent anything, other companies build a product around an unpatented idea, then you patent it and sue them? now their entire product is ruined??
this makes no sense, that would mean the optimal play is to not patent anything until someone else starts doing it
When my Lemmy instance is down (which is very rare, much more stable than Reddit), I just browse via a different instance!
yea tlnet is perfect, thank you! subscribed
TL.net would be great for esports news https://tl.net/rss/news.xml
if tl
is too short for a community name, maybe tl_net or teamliquid_net or something like that
it will be a good source to cross-post from (I wish Lemmy users used cross-posting more)
Doesn’t beehaw defederate lemmy.world?
Also they probably want to avoid the issue of a user accidentally sliding it all the way to the left and then being unable to use their phone lol, there’d be no way to fix it except finding a dark room (if you were even aware of what happened and why your screen “won’t turn on”)
Since you’re on Mbin, the Lemmy remote follow feature isn’t going to work for you
Just paste this into your search:
@musicproduction@sh.itjust.works
It probably also works in the Lemmy format (it didn’t on Kbin but I think Mbin might’ve fixed it):
yea idk, it’s maybe like a fun bonus sometimes, but it’s kinda like trying to put the square peg into the circle hole (where it doesn’t fit, unlike the famous meme video lol)
Unpopular opinion: IDK why people want perfect interop so much, I have a Mastodon account and a Lemmy account, big deal. We’ve got bigger fish to fry than this. The formats are different enough that you’re better off having separate accounts for microblogging and threadiverse.
Interop for similar platforms is a great feature, but for dissimilar platforms I don’t think it’s actually necessary just a novelty. Also I think people try to push this on new users as some big, useful, important feature, but I think it only confuses the new users.
Also I noticed most of the time when people complain about ActivityPub interop issues, it almost always ends up being Mastodon’s fault lol. Probably because they were early to the party and didn’t have to worry about interop and standards much back then. At least I hope it isn’t malicious lol.
I think probably the biggest holdup for 0.19.6 right now looks like https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4983
I subscribed to the issue so I can see its progress
my favorite was Where In Space, great music too
That’s a cool idea. There have been somewhat related discussions, but I can’t find any exactly like that. Maybe you should file an issue on GitHub for them?
I haven’t used Jerboa in a while, but I know Boost supports almost all of the search features
something on your end? my top result is from lemmy.world
maybe try opening the link in Private Mode or Incognito
There’s no objection here https://www.google.com/search?q=Lemmy+wouldn’t+really+takeoff+to+replace+Reddit+until+it’s+content+is+search+indexable
An example fix from over a year ago https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418
Like, not being able to search for specific issues, people, or any other topic already posted even within your own instance is my biggest issue with Lemmy not being a sufficient replacement.
The search page does allow all of this.
You can filter by type (post, user, community, etc), Local/All/Subscribed, searching within a community, choosing a sort option or restricting to past year/month/week… I think it’s much better than Reddit’s search.
I don’t think this is true, Lemmy is already using rel="canonical"
which should be telling Google what the real URL is, like here on programming.dev I see this in the page source
<link data-inferno-helmet="true" rel="canonical" href="https://lemmy.world/post/19493729">
which is why the Google results for this search don’t show a million different instances mirroring it

Here was the discussion about it where it was fixed last year https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418
subreddit CSS doesn’t work on new reddit? lol I had no idea
but if they scrap old.reddit then I see a nice big wave of new Lemmy users coming, and we’re much more ready for it this time
