This is not a long list at all, and some of these communities you are mentioning might be a good for https://indiehackers.space. The best way you can help me now is by signing-up to https://fediverser.network and adding the subreddits that you are missing and use the “request a community” for the ones that are missing.
I also went ahead and created !applemaps@poweruser.forum if you want to get started. :)
Exactly. The idea is to move away from automatic reposting and simply to make it as easy as possible to bring the content from other places and to show people on Reddit that they can migrate easily.
May I ask what communities are you interested in? I don’t want to automatically post things, but you might be interested in the “Community Ambassadors” feature of https://fediverser.network. Ambassadors can add multiple RSS feeds and use them as source of content to their communities, and then they can repost whatever they think is interesting.
People usually pick large instances that are known to be reliable
This is remedy but not a real solution to the problem.
Now that you mentioned, I also went to look at feddit.ch and it also seems to have been abandoned.
I honestly don’t know what to feel about this.
On the one hand, it is yet-another data point supporting my hypothesis that the current server-centric architecture of the Fediverse is not sustainable. On the other hand, it seems like not enough people care. Having to move communities around because one admin just got tired of dealing with this shit should not be normalized.
Damn, that’s a shame. I don’t know if it’s because I was using a lot of their community browser tool, but I thought they were one of the most invested in making a long-term alternative.
Do you have any information about what happened with feddit.de?
Traefik or Caddy will do certificate management automatically for you and both of them work amazingly well as a proxy for a gunicorn server.
Fair enough. I think I’d rather be more mindful of what “mode” I am browsing around. I stick with only the subscribed communities, and whenever I am in the mood for something new, I take some time to browse around the instances to see what’s out there. Browsing by all and then blocking all the crappy stuff seems to me like a constant effort with very little potential reward.
wouldn’t it be easier to stop browsing by all and only see the things you want to see?
Wait, how many communities do you need to block every day for this to be an issue?
Amazing, I think it’s available on nixos as well. I will take it for a spin.
Is it easy to integrate with elpy?
Redundancy seems always a good idea. The only question which server you’d use for failover and is whether you are okay with the idea of your traffic going there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting. I was feeling a bit lonely here and this video is very much aligned with what I’d like to see here. :)
Correct. I created the community when I was planning to use it as a mirror of the reddit one, but never went on to set it up.
May I suggest !malefashionadvice@style.land instead of yet-another community on LW?
I’d be completely dreadful of that. Sounds like the setting of some dystopian world.
The idea of two way bridging now is to have only as an option for community ambassadors and they will be sent as DM to users on Reddit, to let them know about the response here.
