Is the Fediverse (or thrediverse specifically) going to follow the way of the old web? (lemmy.world)

People using their communities to link to like communities because the fediverse/thrediverse is so vast and it’s not as easy to navigate? Maybe, eventually finding a way to consistently open links to other instances/services in a way that opens it in your preferred instance/service (some sort of protocol or extension). Our profiles on lemmy and kbin are even social media themed, it’s almost like MySpace days. It’s so interesting how cyclical things are sometimes. What do you guys think of my theory? I’d love to hear, even if you think I’m wrong!

"Maybe, eventually finding a way to consistently open links to other instances/services in a way that opens it in your preferred instance/service"

This already exists as a TamperMonkey script iirc

Could you be more specific? I’ve never used tampermonkey before, but I’m willing to try it.

I use the script Lemmy Universal Link Switcher. You need a browser addon like Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey to install it.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
