I’ll suggest Lemmesee as a word play on Let Me See and Lemmy. Some alternate possibilities regarding styling/spelling: LemmeSee, Lemmysee, LemmySee, LemmySy

Will definitely keep an eye out on the icon contest.

Gotta go for ProtonMail. Have been running it for a year and I kinda like how it’s doing.

An additional feature is SimpleLogin’s “Hide My E-mail” Aliases, which are “burner” e-mail addresses to use with pre-determined SimpleLogin domains (you can add your own domains as well to go around Proton’s custom domain limit). Those are included in the full suite and Family subscriptions. (10 a month when subscribing for a year)

There’s also a cheaper variant for 3.50 a month but it lacks the SimpleLogin feature. You can get SimpleLogin seperately for 30 a year, however.

Any thoughts on overhauling cross-posting, to allow more interaction with the source interaction?

As far as I’m aware: currently when you cross-post, only the recipient instance gets all interactions (comments, upvotes), instead of duplicating to or having the origin solely receive those.

The current implementation hampers the growth of smaller instances when reposting something to a bigger one. Discoverability is still there due to seeing from which instance the post originates from, but that’s arguably not enough.

The Prevue channel definitely wow’d me with using an SQL database for the data and SDL to render that.

Exactly my thoughts. I was looking to see if he had any possible contact options to ask him to consider that, but haven’t been able to find any to this date.

Thanks for letting us know! Here’s the code repository, for those wanting to self host it: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

I showed this to my friend (an instance owner) and he immediately went “Let’s self host this”. Really looks great. If someone could make it work somehow with RES, then it would be a total replacement.

I could see both ads and subscriptions work (although, the former might be “useless” for those using adblockers, after all, so I’d see persistent/static sponsorship ads similar to how some FOSS projects do it to be more likely).

Especially the latter, for certain services that focus on providing value. A friend of mine mentioned Misskey for example, apparently being used by some Japanese artists. Considering Twitter’s on its way out by being harmful to commission artists, I could see someone spin up such instance and ask X amount for providing a marketplace for commissioned goods.

Actually, your suggestion might indicate something important. The domain of the instance did change, with the old one giving 404’s to get it off the list. Although Cameron did check the configs and didn’t find anything wrong with them.

@cameron@compuverse.uk Worth to cross-post to the admin channel, with the context of having switched over domains?

Thanks for responding either way. I asked the owner personally (off-platform) if he has noticed anything. And he says that the logs are just a gigantic mess with millions of lines. Only errors (as WARN messages) noticed by him, are like the following:

lemmy_1     |    0: lemmy_apub::activities::community::announce::receive
lemmy_1     |              at crates/apub/src/activities/community/announce.rs:149
lemmy_1     |    1: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request
lemmy_1     |            with http.method=POST http.scheme="https" http.host=compuverse.uk http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=<REDACTED> ttp.status_code=400 otel.status_code="OK"
lemmy_1     |              at src/root_span_builder.rs:16
lemmy_1     | LemmyError { message: Some("Cant receive page"), inner: Cant receive page, context: "SpanTrace" }```

The errors are very unclear, only saying it didn't receive the page while not mentioning where it came from etc, making it very hard to debug on our end.

I fully agree. While I do love the fact we’ve got a self-hostable federated reddit alternative that actually provides an API (kbin doesn’t provide an API sadly), it’s a damn shame this solution definitely has its problems at the moment. Though hopefully this’ll change soon in the future.

I’ve definitely experienced some jank with Lemmy at the moment, but at least I’ve gotten used to Federation through Mastodon. I don’t think you need to sub to a community per say to have it pull in changes from posts you responded on or the like. But you do need to subscribe if you want to have some instance’s posts to the one you are currently on. (Though I could be sorely mistaken - I’m still figuring out Lemmy myself)

Sadly, that’s how it currently (seems to?) work(s). It will pull in new comments ever since the first interaction with the instance, however. (So comment 12, 13 etc. should get synced up with your own instance’s view of that post.) I agree it’s far from ideal, however. 😬

You can only reply to messages by using the instance you have joined. Copy the post’s or comment’s URL and search that in the instance of your account. Then it will start detecting it and allow you to respond to that instance’s content.
