Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing

  That’s partly why I’m here. I don’t want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?

    I’d love it if the fediverse as a whole grew to that size. Any individual instance? No. That’s kind of the whole point of the fediverse.

  Literally joined because of the name

    Firmly agree. It sounds both a) fun, and b) wildly reliable. The two things I needed back when I was a Lemmy newb

  You don’t owe anything to anyones prudishness.

  chose the instance because of the name, stuck for the uptime, reliability and admins

    Same here. If people don’t like it, fuckem 🤷‍♂️. I’ll find it all the funnier because of it.

      Yeah, but at the end of the day we either want Lemmy to grow, or we don’t. And if we make it difficult or awkward for people to use Lemmy, then we’re shooting ourselves in the foot if our goal is to grow Lemmy’s user base.

  I Iike both slrpnk and blahaj but it’s not like their domain names are magically not also part of this alphabet soup they’re talking about.
  It’s… kinda the point of federation and decentralization.
  Sure, Reddit or Facebook have brand recognition, they’re also centralized corpo garbage.

  If a blahaj user wants to share a SJW post, but finds the sjw domain untasteful, they can also just share their instance’s URL for to said post.

    This comment would be more relevant a year down the line if perspectives shifted and users begged for sanitization, but:

    Is it technically challenging or financially costly or otherwise problematic to mirror content to another subdomain, or domain mask or something? I thought of this after seeing oldsh.itjust.works:

    
    try.itjust.works
    
    leg.itjust.works
    
    share.itjust.works
    
    subm.itjust.works
    
    

    (2 & 4 don’t work as well as the current split word)

    No reply requested unless it seems like it would be fun/interesting to type one

      I’m not an expert on the specific of this, but changing the domain for the UI (as in oldsh.itjust.works) seems a lot easier than changing the domain for the backend, which includes federation with all other instances.
      I don’t know of any way to change the federated stuff without breaking pretty much everything and starting over.
      Maybe there is and I just don’t know about it, or maybe there could be an easier way at some point.

    lol I hadn’t seen the acronymized instance name. was the fact that it’s sjw intentional?

      We’re all someone’s SJW.

      I was there all those years ago…

      The owner had the domain itjust.works, and was in some large thread asking what subdomain they should use, and some genius said “sh”.

    I started on lemmy.ml because I thought it was “the default one” to some extent. Learned that was a mistake pretty fast. Glad I found this one.

    • captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think the same thing is why lemmy.world is as big as it is. “Well that must be the default one, it says lemmy and it’s for the whole world.”

    Amazingly few users seem to realize this can be done.

    • Nothing4You@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think most (especially mobile) clients simply don’t have this option and will always copy/share the “fedi link” - the url where the content is canonically hosted. all other URLs are simply cached representations of the original content.

  As a shitter on the shitter I vote the name stays.

  It is an an immune system against the normies.

  I am dead serious. I think it’s a good idea. It won’t last forever before they think it’s cool and start adopting it, but it’ll work for a while.

    Normie filter, based in Canada, less tankies, fun name. I mean those are strong selling points.
