Neat! Bought it!

My wife and I picked out her ring together. She has to wear it all the time. I think she should have say in the matter. Ask your partner to help you pick one out.

Lemmy.World isn’t developing it. Some of their team members are contributing but they didn’t start it. I did. I’m the admin of discuss.online

Perhaps it’s your client or the server acting funny. Here are direct links to the open rooms:

It’s not dead, perhaps you joined at a slow time. We were just chatting a bunch in there about cursor pagination. There are several rooms if you didn’t notice. General, Frontend, API, & Federation. Along with Announcements and Support.

I’m the founder of Sublinks. I’m happy to answer questions. You can find me on Mastodon @sublinks@utter.online. You’re right about the dev blog. We have a weekly Sublinks team meeting, the results of that could go into a weekly dev update. I’ve just been more focused on coding than community stuff. I’ll do better.

Thanks @gabe@literature.cafe! https://social.photo. I just opened registration so it’s still very young. I am running Lemmy on https://discuss.online, Mastodon on https://utter.online and Pixelfed on https://social.photo. I also run a matrix instance on the same discuss.online domain.

I’m based in Ohio, US; however, the servers are in New York on DigitalOcean. That’s really close to Canada :).

I’m trying to build an ecosystem under the https://participating.online brand. I don’t plan on going anywhere.

In fact, I had planned to build something many years ago and I’ll probably start on it now. It will provide a unique experience once it’s done in a several months. I’m working on some other stuff first… like myself.

It’s pretty incredible how so much of the history aligns with my issues. It’s a great book. I have a good feeling about it being able to help organize my life.

I just started The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll.

This would be much easier if the original owners of the instances helped bring it down. Their servers have private keys that verify ownership of the content for the fediverse to work in a trustworthy way.

Without these keys the content has to stay in a sort of read-only state.

This assumes they can find that post. They’d never know if someone searches and lands on a post and not the feed. Or if they only look at their main feed and never review the community.

My initial thought was to build an archive server that grabs all the federated instances’ content via the public APIs. Then each instance would then have the option to purge after. However, this prevents folks from discovering it. Unless they are aware of the archive. I bought the domain lemmy.rehab for this. Perhaps, we could even create an instance that hosts only a backend for these dead communities that no one owns. Then moderation would be a nightmare.

The second option was post a sticky post that said this community was dead and no longer synced. But for how long is that useful? What if someone finds a post from years ago and comments and never visits the main feed to see it’s dead?

Another option is to put in a request for the core devs to have archived communities. Read-only. However, these communities will remain in a constant out-of-sync status. Comments and posts on discuss.online will never show on lemmy.world or the other way around.

I’m not certain of any option.

I’m never wrong! I thought I was once, but, it turns out I was just mistaken.

You’re not wrong, sadly.

I see your point; however, if they stopped, the people would give them grief for that. But I’m with you. They should take responsibility and help stop exploitative practices.

They ushered it by providing the AppStore or is there something more direct?

Yes, I’ve just been into this idea for a while. I thought about building something like Lemmy about 10 years ago, but everyone said I was crazy to think people would do it. It’s here now, and I want it to grow and be trusted. The only way to do that is to build trusted instances. I took it upon myself to make that happen or at least contribute to it happening.

I prefer the smaller communities. It feels less like shouting into a void.

Yes, when I started talking to other admins that’s when I realized how over prepared I was compared to them.

That’s what made me decide to do the downgrade. I might do it again at some point.

Yeah, you can change that on your profile settings. But it’s not automatic, which is weird.
