3·28 days agoSounds like you are familiar with this topic. I dont have time to work more on this particular aspect (there are lots of other tasks like comment support, federation with Lemmy, etc). But contributions are definitely welcome, preferably directly to
leptos_useso that others can benefit and its easier to maintain.
It uses the browser preference for light/dark theme by default. After you click the theme toggle on the site, it keeps using that chosen theme by storing it in a cookie.
Seems unlikely, but maybe it will happen in many years if Ibis shows that its possible and desirable.
Right I will also have to make a template with these common parts of the release announcement. Instance blocking is not implemented yet, but it uses the same federation library as Lemmy so that will be easy to add when its needed.
6·4 months agoGood reply, like you explain this wouldn’t work. Just one thing:
Lemmy doesn’t aim to be an uncensorable platform.

Consider this: half the migrants are collecting welfare, and half of them are taking jobs.
11·5 months agoI would be happy to give an interview, but so far no media seems particularly interested in Lemmy.
Not sure what more you want to read, but Dessalines and me do AMAs once in a while where we answer all sorts of questions. You can find them in !announcements@lemmy.ml.
And I don’t work on Jerboa, you have to open an issue for this if there isn’t already.
Dont forget 4: Lemmy was created by a German (me)
@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works This. If youre interested to work on this feature or others, feel free to ask for guidance in the relevant issue, or in the dev chat.
The network is called Fediverse. I don’t see the need for a separate term, there also isn’t a “Tootiverse”.

Its okay, everyone is wrong about some things.
The key is refreshed after 24 hours so it will work if you wait a bit.
2·8 months agoThe users who voted all look legit, I also didnt notice any accounts upvoting multiple posts from this user.
There were optimizations related to database triggers, these are probably responsible for the speedup.
Alright Ive added @kevincox@lemmy.ml, @CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml and @Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml as mods and removed the inactive ones.
Funny, Mastodon just posted a similar thing about creating a foundation. But the problem is, the existence of a foundation does nothing to prevent billionaires from controlling social media. For billionaires its very easy to donate a few hundred thousand USD to the foundation and gain influence that way. I expect that Bluesky will be fine for the first years (maybe like early Twitter), but sooner or later the foundation will take decisions that the users dont like, and there is nothing they can do about it.
In my view, the only way to avoid influence from billionaires is to avoid any large centralized structures. In the Fediverse there are dozens of platforms and thousands of instances. Even if a billionaire were to take control over a couple of projects or large instances, people would create forks in a matter of days. Some admins would block these corrupted instances, and their users would barely notice that anything changed.
So Bluesky is just trying to repeat something that has already failed. The Fediverse is the future, but it will take a long time for most people to understand that.
