Mlem for iOS already has this

No, it wouldn’t. The Beehaw server is located in the United States. External communities aren’t retrieved via your machine, but via their server.

I’m a mod of a moderately sized subreddit (~15k) with lots of people who use Reddit only to interact with that community. We’ve been trying to disseminate information about our official Lemmy, Kbin and Raddle alternatives, but adoption has been slow to nonexistent. So I’m probably going to stick around in both, if for no other reason that to moderate said subreddit.

For all the bad things Elon Musk did with Twitter so far, community notes has to be one of the only good things for this reason.

Also, layers like to win cases. This case is un-winnable. The incident is a masterpiece.

That doesn’t discourage some of them, especially in high-profile cases like this. Hans Littens and Robert Servatiuses exist everywhere.

They explicitly told me in Matrix to not write that, so I just wrote two paragraphs summarizing the two posts they linked in the application guide.

None of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as I‘m aware

Rumor has it they banned a lot of mods and communities for encouraging exactly that to their subscribers, so it was considered quite risky.

It works the same as Apollo. You have to tap the text at the very top of the screen (be it the current community name, “All Posts”, “Subscribed”, etc.) and then you should be able to search for any communities tracked in the cache of your instance.

It’s interesting that you added serifs and monospacing to a sans serif font. It’s almost like comic sans but with all the things that make it comic sans removed.

Hm, that’s definitely not true. Just ask the admins to remove that user and let you try again.

I know of several different groups working on this, from the main developers of Lemmy to people hacking together browser plugins to make this possible already now. I think we will start seeing some of the first of these released in the coming week or two.

No they don’t? 🤔 I’m pretty sure they did once, but right now I am able to upload images with no account. Just dragging the file into the browser window works.

You’d be surprised how much critical infrastructure was implemented through trial and error and has just been left like that for years…

All the more reason that federation is necessary in modern social media.

I love how one of the first posts in this community is a link to the Anarchist Library. Proves that Lemmy doesn’t have to be associated with tankies.

Wait, how is the GDPR applicable here? I thought the GDPR was just about data protection…

As a mod I’ve been considering this, but with the amount of moderators and communities that have been banned for attempting to steer their users to alternatives, it’s simply not worth the risk. For now, I’ve just linked visitors to our Discord server instead, and people should be able to find the Lemmy and Raddle alternatives there if they wish to.

How do you plan to distribute the available balance? Will all community members get to participate and have a say in non-fundamental budget decisions?

The way git, the version control software that coordinates individual changes and updates, works, you can basically freely “pull” all updates from the main Lemmy repository as you want, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

EDIT: Now that I’m reading your comment again, you seem to suggest some deeper underlying inconsistencies. I don’t know about that, but as I said before, interoperability with the rest of the network should be the top priority before any other feature.

Well, in software development lingo, a “fork” is essentially making a copy of the original code (in this case the Lemmy software that runs on the server) and modifying it. I would of course presume that one of the goals with such an undertaking would be to preserve interoperability with the rest of the ActivityPub network. There should be no impact to content on the server itself.
