when the event goes live, it'll be a website you can login to and place pixels
the login system sends a DM to your account with a code to verify your identity, no passwords are used
oh shit i didn't see this notification π
keep an eye out π
@user works on all fediverse platforms, but !community does not
i was proposing for this to be a possible solution to make it work across all existing platforms w/o requiring all the other platforms to support lemmy's system
if using lemmy, it could automatically make this change
this would primarily be used by other fedi platforms to easily differentiate community & users
eg if i followed @sc07@group.toast.ooo on mastodon it would for sure follow !sc07@toast.ooo and not @sc07@toast.ooo (an account with the same identifier)
but if you search a community up on another fedi platform, it won't always pick the community or the user (if they have the same name)
as far as the other platforms know, there's one actor but points to two different accounts
afaik the webfinger spec doesn't allow for multiple actors having the same identifier, like how lemmy does it (here's what gets returned when a username matches a community and user)
how I was thinking about it the instance owners would pick the subdomain the communities would be placed on, everything would still route through the main host but external interactions (like following a community) would be routed through the subdomain
eg for blahaj.zone's lemmy instance it could be setup as users sending in @lemmy.blahaj.zone and communities ending in @group.lemmy.blahaj.zone or something like that
not every community would have it's own subdomain, no
community actors would just have the hostname part be a different domain eg
users:
@UserA@toast.ooo@UserB@toast.ooo
communities:
@CommunityA@group.toast.ooo@CommunityB@group.toast.ooo
It appears that proton's is only for them and they don't offer it to other websites unfortunately
After taking a glance at the AppStore page for it, it looks like direct tipping/paywalled content instead of advertisements but I could be wrong
Tipping/paywalling seems like a step in the right direction, avoiding advertisements
It was really been a blast to run this event, thank you all for participating!! β₯β₯β₯

This is a very long gif (almost 2 minutes) open mp4
There's like 20 hours left for you to place your pixels
