Reminds me of all those countries claiming to be democratic in their name like Democratic Republic of the Congo, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (aka North Korea), etc.

That looks really interesting, I'm fairly happy with Joplin but SB looks like how I’d do things if I wrote something like this.

It is odd that there’s no web app for Joplin given that it’s written in TypeScript. It’s such a commonly requested feature, I wonder what the problem is.

reddthat is a great instance, and I'm glad to see that it's not just a single-admin setup. If you vanished (I hope not!), does the team have the access, knowledge, finance and motivation to continue?

[–] Deebster@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I hate that they've vanished like this, it just means that we'll end up with a few massive all-purpose instances instead of the ideal topic-based instances that the Fediverse wants.

My old instance lemmyrs.org went down and it's because the admin didn't have enough time to deal with an upgrade problem. They were talking about having Hackyderm help out/take over but that clearly didn't go anywhere.

Having some kind of escrow where the DNS/server could be stored for these single-admin instances might be a good idea.

That's not great for user privacy - having a database of people's kinks up for sale is not a headline that will help the Lemmy project. Hopefully everyone's sensible enough to have anonymous alt accounts for their embarrassing Lemmy usage.

shilling kagi

Shilling means that you're claiming people (like me) who've been recommending Kagi are in fact secretly paid to do covert advertising.

Are you using that word wrong, or do you actually believe that we're all liars?

I've just had the image of Quark harvesting them from under his barstool and I wish I hadn't.

I hope this is banished, and quickly. This absolutely ruins Lemmy as everything feels quieter than it really is because you see fewer posts, and worst everyone feels ignored themselves as you don't even get any upvotes let alone replies.

This bug is like half of users are suddenly shadow-banned, something designed to stop users from interacting.

It's great, but hardly underrated! It's been mentioned by the Lemmy devs and gets referenced all over Lemmy. Deservedly so.
