Here the Lemmy.World owner talks about all of this: https://lemmy.world/post/2923697
Is there any way to link to posts contextually so that it’s viewed in the context of the readers instance instead of just hyperlinked to the source instance?
Sync automatically opens it in your instance it seems.
Yep. There’s support for this in ActivityPub, but only Sync and one bot actually implements it… the official webui and none of the other apps support link translation yet
we use !community@instance
but idk if that works for posts, let me try
!post/[email protected]
edit- doesn’t work, it seems
I think there are people making scripts for that but I don’t use it. You have to put the link text in your instance search.
This is why we need to move more communities off lemmy.world. Resilience in decentralization
It’s too bad Lemmy communities have to be homed on a single instance. It’d be more resilient if we could comment and vote from other instances.
im here for all of it
I’m surfing & posting here from my little Lemmy instance :-)
It’s a pain in the hole having to register on other instances to vote and save posts though
You can save and vote from any instance. That is the point of the fediverse. You can have an account on lemmy.ml and interact with communities on lemmy.world.
Right, but then I have a separate set of saved posts and comments on every account. I’d have to try and remember which account I saved something under. It’s a minor pain, but a pain nonetheless.
No you don’t. As chris said, you can use the same account. I’m saying move communities off .world, not accounts. That way when it goes down, it doesn’t hurt people on other instances as much (apart from being deprived of your luscious opinions for a few hours).
Can you even migrate accounts yet? Or do you just have to set up a new one and import all your communities manually?
Setup a new one and use this to import your subs:
There’s also https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim which I have used in the past, it works nicely.
Am… I the only one who literally wouldn’t even notice lemmy.world going down… if it were not for the posts they are making, regarding their downtime?
Nah, same here. If anything, the mild drama has brought even more interactive content to my feed. Like a type of a Streisand phenom or something; it’s kinda having the opposite effect for me.
Definitely a lot of wasted energy by pissy people, who get satisfaction from punching air. They could certainly channel it to something better for everyone… but I’m enjoying myself regardless. The only person who can waste your time is yourself, so I hope whoever’s being bitchy is at least getting something out of it… cause it looks about as productive as a tantrum to me, and just as funny to watch.
Whoever’s being all butt-hurt out there… I’m laughing at you, not with you. And if you’re that mad, maybe take your energy and use it to help someone offline. Nobody here will care in a little bit anyway.
Actually, I’ma donate lemme.world a fiver just to drive home my point. Barbara Streisand or some shit lol
Same, but maybe my timezone (GMT +8) would play a role in my case
Thing is, these terrorists aren’t trying to destroy the fediverse, they are trying to retaliate specifically against lemmy.world
How petty do you have to be to hold a grudge towards a specific Lemmy instance? It’s like they’re children who got banned from their favorite Minecraft server.
If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason, then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.
Do i really have to explain such a simple thing to someone. Holy shit it’s like im on Reddit again.
EDIT: Holy shit i am talking about those morons DDOSing lemmy.world
It is like reddit. People without reading comphrension are everywhere.
I mean the person doing the DDoS attack is the one with the grudge.
Makes sense
Lol “no good reason” does not apply to the decisions the Lemmy.world admins have made for which instances to defederate from or what content to allow. They have been very straight forward with those decisions and explaining why.
Not liking their decision doesn’t mean there is “no good reason”.
Explaining the reason for making a decision doesn’t mean it’s an actual good reason btw.
Do you think they had good reasons? If not, care to explain why?
No, I don’t. They chose to preemptively defederate from an instance because some people might maybe not actually break their rules but just talk about their ideologies that the precious admin didn’t agree with.
Why not just handle rule breakers if and when they break rules? Why ban an entire instance because you disagree with some of their ideologies?
Can you explain why you agree with their stance, if you do?
That’s what i said. I am in favor of defederating from terrorist instances.
If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason, then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.
Are you talking about the DDoSers or the admins of lemmy.world? Because, yes, everyone who is trying to use lemmy.world that can’t should hold a grudge against the skids who bought a DDoS service subscription.
If you’re talking about the admins, you should be more specific. Are you saying that them defederating from another instance is a good reason for that other instance’s users to hold a grudge and DDoS? Because I would bed to differ if that’s the case.
I am in favor of lemmy.world
You completely misunderstood that reply. Joyjoy was also talking about the DDOSers.
It’s worded confusingly. Let me see if I’m correct here:
If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason
This is not in reference to the lemmy.world users being prevented from using the instance, but instead is about the possible motivation of said attack
then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.
Continuing on to say that you could understand how a person could hold a grudge over a perceived slight
The way you worded it make it sound like you mean lemmy.world users should hold a grudge against the attackers for preventing them from using lemmy.world, which is why people are confused. It might have been better to say like “The attackers are probably retaliating for being banned or something”

Idk if I’d go so far as saying they’re terrorists, they aren’t using violence. But the vibe and dedication makes me think it’s the same person that got mad that they couldn’t run every community on the instance or some shit and then proceeded to spam create hundreds of communities
Removed by mod
Yes, terrorists
Let’s not call them terrorists lol. It’s prolly just some kids
Me, on Kbin: “There was a DDOS?”
Why are people DDOSing Lemmy? Reddit employes?
Nah, their employees are vacating the platform too. It’s just spez being spez. Don’t be like spez, everybody hates spez. Fuck spez.
deleted by creator
LMAO :-D
You’ve just been DDOSed
AaaAAaaAAaa !
Spez’s living room laptop
Donate a dollar to Lemmy org, lemmy.world, and your own instance. Raise awareness and funds, so the DDoS attackers can feel good about themselves for something besides just bitching behind a curtain
What’s the final boss on Lemmy.world, I wonder? I didn’t notice a thing. Been using the Shork and the Beehaw.
conspiracy theories intensifies
