I want to try this, do I need to change the lemmy domain to my own instance url? (if this is a double comment, I tried it from my own instance, but can’t see it on my alt. If someone can see this 2 times, I’m sorry.)

Yeah, I only see this comment when I’m actively putting the link of your comment in the search on my instance.

I saw your comment via my alt on lemmy.ml.

This looks like a serious issue!

Well, it looks like it is working.

Besides what everyone said… you are the boss. You control what can and can’t be done.

Eg. Lemmy.ml decided that users can’t create communities anymore on that instance. Easily solvable but a limitation to that instance.

If you own the instance, you decide what can be done and what not.

Beyoncé. A lot of her songs. But certainly the ring one.

I have been with this idea for a very long time. But over time all the platforms got more and more greedy and I had the feeling that my privacy got more and more invaded.

Since that time, I have an Adblock and use DDG.

Sorry content creators.

Belgium: yes! We drink tap water. Straight from the tap. Hardness varies from city to city. At my home I have a filter to make the water softer. That helps the taste but also keeps all faucets etc running.

All of the others forgot to mention one thing. Currently there is a bug to subscribe to a community.

So if there is no button in the sidebar, that is because the bug.

Y’all are the best!

I love Mlem and use it almost all the time. I’m missing if I have a notification (but that for sure is in the pipeline) but I miss one more thing: saving pictures on my phone. For these things I switch to the safari version.

That would solve a large part. If it would function as an actual alt, you could also “federate” the communities all the alts are following. That would make it so much easier if an instance would stop. One could just start using an alt as a main.

I had no idea it even had a name. I’m learning a lot these days! Thnx!

Does this work? I don’t think that is possible. Also, the community making is not that big of a deal (see my post), it is more of a general idea that I have…

Agreed. But is it something we should be thinking about, or is the general feeling: “infamousbelgian, you are so badly overthinking right now…”

Agreed. However, the nice thing about the fediverse is that it is not “ruled” by someone with a lot of power. I don’t know, I’m just putting it out here…

The canonical makes sense for the search engine (eg Google). I would put the canonical on the source instance.

Leaves open the question what would happen if the source would disappear…

If so, the css must be federated as well, no? Might be difficult.

As an ex-Apollo user I kinda liked that everything has the same look.

I think if canonicals are applied correctly, it should not be an issue?

Hi, my “problem” currently isn’t a real problem :p

Let me explain:

So, the current problem is not being able to create a community. The solution is easy. Create and alt account on another platform, create the community, make my prime account the mod and voila, problem solved.

However, my “problem” is theoretical. I joined Lemmy.ml “per accident”. I did not pick it for a specific reason, I just stumbled on it (being a Reddit refugee) and selected this instance. (I know now that this instance will always “do good” because it is run by the creators of Lemmy (I did not know this when joining) - so my issues will probably always be theoretical FOR ME, but hear me out. ). If someone would join another instance, and that instance would suddenly stop providing essential services of Lemmy (let’s say, commenting, participating, cross posting or any other feature) OR if the instance would stop alltogether, you kinda loose everything. Yes, you can create an alt, but your post/comment history belongs to the other, severely limited in features, account - or the account is lost forever. I think, from a theoretical standpoint, I would feel better if I was able to “move” my main account to another instance. Not sure how this would technically work (federating accounts might be a huge GDPR / privacy nightmare), but it would give me some peace of mind knowing that I can’t be… euh… fucked over by an instance admin.

I know you can run your own instance to circumvent these issues. I am considering it since my account is stil fairly new, but it seems like a tedious thing, both in technical knowledge as in financial terms. And with the federation/discovery thingy that is around on a not-well-used instance, this is even more difficult.

My 2 cents. Not sure if I’m missing something and/or if someone agrees/disagrees with me?
