  • Yes with ActivityPub there’s always failed federation. But Lemmy will send the delete request out when you delete your account. Other software or instances might not honour it, but the intent is there.

    As opposed to reddit who do not remove comments when an account is deleted, only mark it as a comment from a deleted account.

    I’m not against Lemmy’s implementation, but it does require you to collect information you need at the time not assume it will always be there.













  • My biggest issue with Friendica is that the very top thing I want social media for is to share photos and videos in a private way with friends and family. Of you have to upload your video to YouTube before posting the URLthen that is a terrible experience.

    Facebook lets you just grab your photos and vidros and upload them to your post. It automatically converts them from the 200MB+ per minute file your phone made into a 40MB per minute file, so people watching on their phones don’t chew through their data allowance or be unable to play it due to slow internet. It shows the photos in a seamless galley.

    I would be willing to put up with almost any other issues if this part was a seamless and user friendly experience, of which no self-hosted Facebook replacement (federated or not) that I have seen can do.





  • I’m wondering if the git option is best? A public github repo is a bit more permanent, means it stays available into the future even if it stops getting maintained.

    The main issue with that is the technical hurdle for contributing, but I don’t see why people can’t comment on this post or future ones with comments if they don’t want to do a pull request.

    I prefer that over the Google docs option, and Lemmy comments are good for discussion but I think we need an “official” place to point people to. We can still discuss on Lemmy before making updates.
