Seems like lemmy.wtf posts are up again, can you login today?
- Comment on lemmy.wtf 502 errors 1 week ago:
That’s very possible! I mean as a user I also do like stability (had to instance hop quite a few times when I joined fediverse due to them shutting down) but also see resiliency and strenght in being able to spin up an instance of a platform we are all familiar with. When people leave reddit they don’t have similar alternatives with many users, but on lemmy/piefed we can always migrate and stay on the same platform with different rules and administrators.
Of course that’s simplifying the whole topic, but I’m not that worried about fediverse. But you are right of course that for new users who are on the edge already this might be a big dealbreaker. That’s why I always suggest bigger instances first. Once you are comfortable with fedi/threadiverse you can migrate to a smaller instance (I did exactly that once I figured out how this all works). I know lemm.ee shutting down probably made a noticable chunk of people give up on fediverse because we didn’t see any instance completely fill the void that lemm.ee’s weekly activity left.

This topic has had a lot of discussion, but backup plans are good indeed. Lemmy.wtf is small though, so I wouldn’t worry about it and I believe Meldrik is coming back :) what happened with feddit.de was tragic. I wonder if they ever found out what happened to the admin.

Just pinged @meldrik@lemmy.wtf on matrix. Seems like he’s been away on lemmy (or just not commenting) for a week.

- Comment on Which instance should i choose when i share a link? 2 weeks ago:
That would be awesome!
Since the page doesn’t have about or info page I’ll add the link to the repo of threadiverse.link: github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link

I thought lemsha.re stopped working - guess not, that’s good news! And such a cool feature by the dev with the voyager link. Haven’t tried that feature out yet (voyager is my personal favourite lemmy app).
- Comment on Which instance should i choose when i share a link? 2 weeks ago:
Ah must remember wrong or maybe it was proposed!
Yeah the software would need to know, but in a way “lemmy” knows because it knows which instances your instance is federating with. If your instance isn’t federating with the link target it cant find it anyway.
Same as the ! Exclamation mark for communities or @ for users it can do a look up (you can put my link to your search input in lemmy and it will find it), but there would be otherways to achieve this too.
But yeah it would be really nice to have some universal way like the ! And @ signs to point to another fedi post/comment.
- Comment on Which instance should i choose when i share a link? 2 weeks ago:
The frontends and apps do redirect embedded links in comments no?
Or maybe you mean when you paste an url to the browser that it should automatically redirect to your instance? If so thats tad bit difficult. There was once a post that proposed something like a activityPub/lemmy URI scheme where links would look like this:
activitypub://<postorcommentidentifier>But I don’t remember where that conversation led and also I have no idea how feasible that would be.
- Comment on Which instance should i choose when i share a link? 2 weeks ago:
I agree with the other answers here, however if you share the link to another fediuser outside of the platform (e.g matrix) I really like sharing with threadiverse.link.

Which does actually display correctly on Voyager App atleast (can confirm).

The write-up I’m referencing has some at the end. Maybe Delta chat?
- Comment on matrix is cooked 4 weeks ago:
Views that seriously harm or endanger other people are dangerous.
If the founder would have opposing views in e.g. should we narrow down the car roads in cities and widen the pedestrian walks - ok. I think there’s a lot to this question, I think pedestrian walks should be wider, cars are dangerous, etc. But this is not as dangerous as:
“Do you deny scientific evidence that COVID is real and a real danger to a lot of humans”
- Comment on matrix is cooked 4 weeks ago:
SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder’s positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he’s also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I’ve lost receipts to that.
I did not know this. I’ve seen people recommend SimpleX on lemmy too, but probably they didn’t know.

Well, it was just reported widely that he uses a lot of drugs and that it was way more than previously thought, so I’d say that.
He reportedly uses ketamine, ecstasy and possibly mushrooms. Ketamine usage alone can help him ignore all of that.

Honestly this has crossed my mind several times as another reason why people don’t put the phone on their ear. You might be on to something!

I’m convinced people forgot that our huge handheld devices are supposed to still be mobile phones that you are supposed to put it against your ear when you call someone.

It’s your instance (lemmings.world) admin.
- Comment on Is there any counter AI bots in the fediverse 4 months ago:
Please don’t create a bot account that is not flagged as a bot. There is enough malicious activity that you might not see because mods/admins are doing their job.
There is no need to increase the volunteer work these people do.

I’ve also been looking at FP but I believe there are some issues of getting one outside of Europe.
- Comment on Testing out the Fediverse, A Breath of Fresh Air 4 months ago:
I believe many instances defederate lemmynsfw.com simply because instance admins don’t want that legal responsibility and don’t have tools to keep an eye on it.
It’s been there for quite a long time though, just incase people here were not aware.

Damn you, I’m now experiencing existential dread.
I have so decided that I, being my todayself still, shall not sleep. Ever again. I’m not going to micro-die again and let the tomorrow me take over!
