I think “cross posting” but like as a symlink would be great for this - i.e. if you click on the post in either community, you see the same comments

Suggestion: Easy account migration between instances

Imagine you register to Lemmy.world, but realize you’re missing half the content because it comes from Hexbear or Lemmygrad users. Migrating to Lemmy.ml is a solution for this

Reddit thread paints a sad picture. Product founder without a technical co-founder. Isn’t able to articulate market fit. Doesn’t trust his engineer’s work. Yikes

From a entrepreneur point of view, this looks like a clear monetization attempt. Gather content from federated communities, sell to investors on the name “fediverse”. B2C is generally very hard to pull off because there’s so much competition so I doubt they’ll succeed, but there is that saying about seeing what sticks on the wall.

Also, from both a user and entrepreneur point of view, you need to break into markets by starting small. The fediverse heavily leveraged the open source community to get started. I personally would not be on Lemmy if Lemmy wasn’t AGPL. ClubsAll doesn’t have that.

With no ill intent, I hope they fail. They’re not contributing, and we don’t need proprietary cancer in the fediverse.

You have a point but dude throwing everything in the fridge between two thinly sliced pieces of bread is amazingly delicious

But how do you eat it

Nobody in the replies mentioned it, but you could easily sign up to an instance that federates with both .ml and .world.

Will automated account migration be the next big feature?

Are people actually that serious about defederating from Lemmy.ml?

What’s LW’s reason for staying on 18.5? Is it client compatibility? Not looking to grab pitchforks, genuinely curious.

Edit: Nvm, from https://lemmy.ml/post/11122503:

We do not have a hard date set for when we will be upgrading as of yet, as we have about 7 associated task items that go along with this upgrade for things we need to double-check and confirm there will be no breakage.

Wish they would go into more detail, but ya

Nutomic said in another comment:

Yes once we reach 1.0 there will be way fewer breaking changes and then it will be easier to do more frequent releases.

So maybe that?

I’ve seen projects shed significant numbers of contributors by moving off GitHub. RIP

So many apps die before getting any users. For Lemmy however, when was the first time you really thought “Damn, this thing really might actually take off”?

What are some cool “Lemmy Adjacent” projects you know of and want to share? (Things like LemmySchedule or Toast.ooo’s Canvas)

What’s coming in the Lemmy 0.20 release?

Not a question, just wanted to let you know I how much we appreciate and love you all for making Lemmy happen 🥰🥰

What other ideas do you have to increasing funding for Lemmy development?

First, I want to say thank you for the incredible job you already have done in this area. However, do you have any thoughts on further improving some fundamental Lemmy UX painpoints? Examples such as:

• Migrating accounts between instances
• Tagging users across instances
• Linking communities across instances
• Finding communities across instances

It also doesn’t have historical data on i.e. how much NLNet contributed (which iirc, was a lot*)

*(a lot in terms of donations - Lemmy devs are living below poverty line. Please donate)
