Let's try this again, maybe this time? :P

Stop using "All" "Hot/Active/Top" feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to "Subscribed".

This is not a proper talk by meta that you could just "hear them out". They explicitly said off the record and confidential, there's no reason for that if it's something innocuous. There 100% would be an NDA involved.

The fediverse is all about being open, starting with an NDA is definitely not "zero risk", you can not slip up ever, or you're going to be destroyed by lawyers, this is the exact opposite of "zero risk".

Also works on Android on Firefox with TamperMonkey, that's what I'm mainly using it on. Also only tested it on Firefox, no idea about Chrome or anything else.

Description

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance. Currently only works for community/user links.

Home Instance Setup

Simply visit the Lemmy instance you want to set as your home while the script is active. You will be asked if you want to set this instance to your home instance:
home

If you initially set your home instance wrong or just want to change it, no worries - simply go to your settings on your new home instance and press the button for it!
settings

Features

  • Rewrite all links of communities or users on all websites everywhere to your new instance! The rewritten links will have an icon next to it, and hovering/touching the icon will show you the original link, allowing you to go there if you want to.
    rewrite

  • If you are already on a page that has a corresponding page on your home instance, a link will automatically be added to the page header.
    redirect

Coming soon

  • Post & comment links. Those are a bit harder because the URL has to be requested from the instances.

I mean many communities still need people to actually create posts, this one is the same. That's the thing about early adoption, you're going to have less content at the start for you to lurk through.

However, if there is content, it's usually good and you get nice comment threads, pretty much like reddit from the old old days, so that's nice.

Maybe you'd want to post some? Also don't forget to vote :D

When I went to https://feddit.de/c/requests@lemmit.online I noticed the sidebar links to /c/about - which doesn't exist on feddit.de

I'd suggest to change the link to https://lemmit.online/c/about so people from other instances can find it more easily.

Just wanted to say in general, federation is not instant. So if some user upvotes or comments on a post, it might be instantly there on the instance it was done on, but may take some time to get to all other instances.

That said, there definitely are likely also bugs still around. Part of what you're saying sounds like it. Can't help you with it though, needs to go to the devs/admins.

[-] Azzu@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

Äh, das Problem ist ja gerade erst entstanden durch installierte Updates. Zu sagen, dass das Problem nie gefixt wird, weil ja keiner Updates installiert, macht da einfach nicht mal logisch Sinn.

[-] Azzu@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

For any such questions, just go go the /instances page of whatever instance you want to check federation for.

The lemmy.sdf.org/instances page shows lemmy.ml under "Linked instances", so whatever you're experiencing seems to either be a bug or no one has subscribed/searched for these posts/communities, so it hasn't been loaded yet. But since I assume you did that, it's probably some bug.

It's not really about the confusion, it's just unnecessary complexity. Magazines and communities for example are completely equal concepts, the only difference is the name for some reason, probably marketing or some such.

Is there really a reason, for example, for there to be the distinction of "magazine" and "community"? When you're federating, the same features should be called the same, if close enough. That way everyone can talk with everyone about stuff and we all immediately understand each other.

Would also alleviate confusion for any new adopters.

^I'm pretty sure this is going to be impossible though, since each sides egos will likely get in the way :D^

Wenn du da wirklich einen Vorteil siehst, dann würde mich interessieren, welchen.

Der Nachteil ist nämlich, dass wenn du bei ein paar großen und ein paar kleinen communities subscribed bist, du die kleinen einfach niemals im Feed sehen wirst, weil sie viel weniger upvotes haben. Manche communities, denen man subscribed ist, nie zu sehen, kommt mir wie ein dealbreaker-Nachteil vor, egal was es für Vorteile hat.

Ah yes, /r/technology, the only technology subreddit on reddit. There certainly has never existed a https://www.reddit.com/r/technews/, or / https://www.reddit.com/r/technewstoday/ or a bunch of more technology subreddits. No. Of course there ever only was /r/technology. No fragmentation whatsoever on reddit.

Subscribe to both, whenever a post in one is made, copy it to the other to receive that sweet sweet karma

kbin scheint wohl jetzt gescheit zu federieren, wäre es möglich deren communities auf browse.feddit.de zu inkludieren?

[-] Azzu@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

To expand, every user has their custom set of content that they want to see, which needs to be queried from the database. Mainly their subscriptions, those will rarely be the same between any two users, and they need to be aggregated according to the sorting method the user wants. Or other personal things, like every user's messages/replies/notifications/settings.
