Comment on Spottarr: A modern spotnet client and index for your *arr apps.
Colloidal@programming.dev 5 days agoI was just confirming. It seemed to me that use had tapered off completely. Glad to know that’s not the case. In a way, Lemmy is essentially a reimplementation of Usenet. Decentralized, federated forums.
What server do you use?

Usenet was never really “federated”. All servers mirror slightly different hierarchies (with the free ones usually focusing on text and the commercial ones focusing on binary files).
I’ve been a happy user of Eternal September (the name alone was awesome enough!) for quite some time now.

Thanks! Was it always not federated? I thought it was, in is halcyon days. Might be just my faulty memory though.

Maybe there were days when all Usenet servers had all hierarchies. I’m probably too young.
