This is not a long list at all, and some of these communities you are mentioning might be a good for https://indiehackers.space. The best way you can help me now is by signing-up to https://fediverser.network and adding the subreddits that you are missing and use the “request a community” for the ones that are missing.
I also went ahead and created [email protected] if you want to get started. :)
Exactly. The idea is to move away from automatic reposting and simply to make it as easy as possible to bring the content from other places and to show people on Reddit that they can migrate easily.
May I ask what communities are you interested in? I don’t want to automatically post things, but you might be interested in the “Community Ambassadors” feature of https://fediverser.network. Ambassadors can add multiple RSS feeds and use them as source of content to their communities, and then they can repost whatever they think is interesting.
People usually pick large instances that are known to be reliable
This is remedy but not a real solution to the problem.
Now that you mentioned, I also went to look at feddit.ch and it also seems to have been abandoned.
I honestly don’t know what to feel about this.
On the one hand, it is yet-another data point supporting my hypothesis that the current server-centric architecture of the Fediverse is not sustainable. On the other hand, it seems like not enough people care. Having to move communities around because one admin just got tired of dealing with this shit should not be normalized.
Damn, that’s a shame. I don’t know if it’s because I was using a lot of their community browser tool, but I thought they were one of the most invested in making a long-term alternative.
Do you have any information about what happened with feddit.de?
Traefik or Caddy will do certificate management automatically for you and both of them work amazingly well as a proxy for a gunicorn server.
Fair enough. I think I’d rather be more mindful of what “mode” I am browsing around. I stick with only the subscribed communities, and whenever I am in the mood for something new, I take some time to browse around the instances to see what’s out there. Browsing by all and then blocking all the crappy stuff seems to me like a constant effort with very little potential reward.
wouldn’t it be easier to stop browsing by all and only see the things you want to see?
Wait, how many communities do you need to block every day for this to be an issue?
Correct. I created the community when I was planning to use it as a mirror of the reddit one, but never went on to set it up.
May I suggest [email protected] instead of yet-another community on LW?
The idea of two way bridging now is to have only as an option for community ambassadors and they will be sent as DM to users on Reddit, to let them know about the response here.
Thank you for the kind words. The project is hosted on Github, and the “current” version is deployed at https://portal.alien.top. I definitely need to add documentation, it will come when I push a proper release.
The point is that no one will be creating content with the primary target of putting it in Peertube, much less “exclusively”.
Yeah, creators maybe can get some extra revenue by turning some monetization feature on Peertube, but the same could be said about “just use liberapay”, “just use flattr” (RIP), “just use OpenCollective” and even “just go ask in the streets”.
The big criticism was for the unrestricted reddit -> lemmy mirroring, not the two-way bridging. The idea to have two-way bridging was better received, but I didn’t get to work on it until now that I received the grant from NLNet.
I don’t think it has. Can you point me to any instance that is doing two-way bridging?
I really don’t see how you can get to this conclusion. We can only get to the $100k/month figure by using unreasonably optimistic numbers for revenue potential. A more realistic figure would be 0.5% of the MAU donating $2/month, which brings it down to $15k/month. That would be enough to support maybe 5 creators?
The market is just to small to be relevant. I think we might even see more people setting peertube accounts as an alternative, but no sensible creator is interested in leaving Youtube.
