Thanks for the blog post. I didn’t really know about piefed so that was a great surprise. I really like that they implemented multireddit-like functionality. I have already discovered couple of communities that otherwise I wouldn’t have subscribed to.
I didn’t see a bug report for it. Feel free to file one on github.
Very similar to a.gup.pe groups but even more disjointed. It also depends if community has thousands of active users or just a dozen.
I just checked. You can respond if someone mentioned the lemmy community and there is a post on lemmy to respond to and that response will be seen on mastodon.
You can federate and respond but not really follow.
I have only observed Lemmy->Mastodon and Mastodon->Lemmy
If I follow a community, in mastodon it will show as boosts and will show Title + link to the original post with all the comments also as boosts. It has some probability of working. Not always. I couldn’t get hashtags to work.
If someone mentions some lemmy community it will get federated into that community but only into first mentioned community. The first line of a microblog will be set as a title. When users write hashtags and mentions first, it will be unreadable. Not all replies will get federated back and forth.
P.S. I have seen kbin [R.I.P] (Long Live Mbin) posts on lemmy and it worked good
I do not want to get paid to develop mbin.
In couple of years you will burn out doing this for free. Not getting paid opens up the project for another Jia Tan to come along and smuggle malware.
There was recent talk by Rockstar Programmer Dylan Beattie that highlighted this problem. His website https://freeasinweekend.org/ and YT talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzYqxo13I1U
You don’t need to go 100% job or 100% mbin. You could theoretically go for less hours (like Fridays off) to work on mbin.
If I am a reader, can I leave comments on blogs/stories as it’s part of fediverse?
You could open an RFC to begin more formal discussion
Like MAL or Anilist?
What part will be federated? Reviews?
Is Wordpress -> Lemmy federated? I can’t seem to fetch the blogpost
It is not gone. You still have an old copy of the post on your instance.
e.g. https://szmer.info/post/383045
Replaying, posting and making new content is pointless there but the old stuff still stands and it can be read.
What specific edgecase do you have in mind. The fediverse is coping data and is quite resiliant against data loss.
Blockchain is immutable so you can’t remove the content.
The same people can’t moderate the content if content is centralised, there would need be an overlord that sets the rules.
Removed by mod

No clear reason stated.
Removed by mod
But who will moderate the content? Who is to say to what is legal and where? In USA and in EU different pieces of information can be shown. CSAM needs to be removed. Main lemmy devs removed only active mod on !anime[email protected] due differences in censorship.
I think short event or campaign with push for donations with a pop up that you actually can dismiss. An ad like banner. The biggest problem would be community organization as Lemmy isn’t only decentralized horizontally but also vertically. Different front ends, different apps different instances. Most of them wouldn’t want to implement an ad that wouldn’t benefit them directly. They also have costs with running their piece of lemmy. So some cut for them should be included.
I think a dedicated trustworthy person should be responsible for organizing this campaign as developer time is best spent elsewhere.
But also different instances have different “all” feed due to users subscribing to different communities.
