Interesting, why do you think that scriptable moderation bots need a completely new platform? Wouldnt it be much easier to utilize the Lemmy api directly?

You can donate for Lemmy development through the link below. Thank you in advance :)

To everyone in this thread, if you notice a problem in Lemmy please open an issue. We are only two developers and dont have time to browse the Fediverse all day to come across such things. Only if we know about a problem can we actually fix it and make a new release.

For reference here are the issue and proposed fix:

• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6016
• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/6017

Your last posts are all missing the image links.

Algorithms are definitely needed to discover good content. There are some good videos on Peertube, but its very difficult to find them due to all the low effort spam. Lemmy also had different algorithms from the beginning and no one ever complained about them.

The problem with algorithms used by Reddit, Facebook etc is that they are completely intransparent, and include factors which dont benefit the user, such as “engagement” or advertising. As long as Fediverse algorithms are focused on benefitting the user and are transparent there is nothing wrong with them.

Lemmy dev here. Making the same post to multiple communities is not possible, so you need to post multiple times tagging a different community each time. Links are taken from Activitypub attachment, but Mastodon only seems to support image attachments. So it is not possible to add other types of links unless Mastodon adds an option for that. Markdown would also have to be supported by Mastodon.

There are various other microblogging platforms on the Fediverse which may support these features and may be better suited to your purpose. For example Mbin, Hometown, Pleroma, Misskey or Mitra to name just a few.

Thanks, good to know.

Fair enough, its just a bit strange that this particular critique comes up regularly.

Keyword filtering is about to be merged into Lemmy. Other features will also be added over time.

We are working on new moderation features all the time, for example 1.0 will correctly federate instance bans which is quite complicated to get right. There will also be a plugin system which allows for much more flexible mod tools. Its just that our time is very limited for all the work that needs to be done on a project with over 50k active users.

Its similar to Lemmy in many ways, so like Lemmy posts are redundantly mirrored across instances, the same is true for Ibis articles.

Getting Wikipedia federated would be great, but it will take a long time for Ibis to be ready for that scale.

For now my focus is to make it federate with Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse. But you’re welcome to open an issue for that kind of feature.

Lemmy’s AGPL license doesnt allow forking the code into a proprietary server. All changes need to be open source as well, otherwise the operator can get sued. So a proprietary Lemmy software would have to be developed from scratch which would take a long time.

Thanks for linking my project. Im happy to answer questions about it. Also here you can find the git repo.

Neat, it federates. Seems to work similar to a normal community, so it should be easy to follow these feeds from Lemmy.

That would take a significant amount of work to implement, and we dont have the resources for it. But all the code is open source, so youre welcome to give it a try yourself.

Its best if you improve the existing site, that way you dont have to worry about hosting, or directing users to your new site.

Are you referring to join-lemmy.org? It has a randomized order for the instances, so usually smaller ones are near the top.

I do, although the sections in Mordor are a bit tedious to get through. But its worth it for all the details that were left out of the movies.

Happy to see that the Peertube embed is working now (Lemmy 0.19.9)
