There are now Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEP) that are being published by Fedi developers with the goal to improve interoperability and well-being of diverse services, applications and communities that form the Fediverse.
There are now Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEP) that are being published by Fedi developers with the goal to improve interoperability and well-being of diverse services, applications and communities that form the Fediverse.
From the RFC that is linked above:
“Plugins will make Lemmy more flexible, and allow implementing features which are too niche for merging into Lemmy core. It will allow Lemmy to focus on core features, while allowing outside developers to contribute new features without using Rust.”
Everyone I ever talked to told me “well yes we have to implement our own version of ActivityPub because AP is under-defined”. In most cases it is defined what AP does, but not how. Therefore individual programers go in and figure out on their own how a certain thing they are building for their platform should be structured in AP.
Now, every project could simply go “I will copy the way Pixelfed implements it”. But why should PF have that priviledge?
That is still not the point the commenter and the original blog author were making.
What we can take away from this episode is that Pixelfed implemented the fix in a way that suggests they would not handle a 0 day exploit with a “reql” vulnerability well. And having followed dansup’s projects for a while that doesnt surprise me, because he clearly prefers to work “chaoticly” than in a structured, regulated way.
The “taking the heat” is something completely seprrate and boils down to stupid people on the internet needing to be angry at someone.
I belive vernissage.photos allows that (but not sure)
Imo it demonstrates that for certain threat models the fediverse simply doesn’t have the 100% secure answers.
It’s probably users not setting their posts’ language properly.
“Pixelfed itself has also grown, and there are now reportedly 8 people joining the team.”
Because the original post is the most up-voted lemmy post ever, apparently
Lemm.ee allows minors out of the same school of thought why it allows federation with nearly all instances there are, including NSFW: liberalism (as in: freedom)
No, your local feed only shows posts from communities hosted on your instance.
The all feed shows posts from communities hosted anywhere in the Threadiverse. The OP wants this, content from anywhere, but sorted/tailored by interactions your local users made.
Effort? Nah the typical post is as effortless as a comment
Hexbear lost its domain and went offline
That works if you never ever want to change your mind about not seeing stuff. Otherwise it sounds like a nightmare
No, they clarified that they want the All feed from across the fediverse to be able to be sorted/curated according to the local instances preferences
Well depends if we’re talking for instance admins, developers or users/mods. Would probably need different models.
Sub.club wasn’t successful in offering a content monetization model on the fediverse
Your interests are not identical with interests of other people.
Which is a problem
You are NOT supposed to downvote things that “aren’t really interesting”, you are actively ruining other people’s user experience on here by doing that as downvoted posts get less visibility.
These services are mainly relevant for PC/browser users. Apps should be able to resolve the original links to open them natively (at least Boost does that). And with Lemmy 1.0 coming up this will be in the codebase of Lemmy itself.
