  • Can’t speak for OP, but the Vault software itself is fine. It’s their recent change in licensing that has a lot of people upset and looking for alternatives:

    https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-adopts-business-source-license

    That is why today we are announcing that HashiCorp is changing its source code license from Mozilla Public License v2.0 (MPL 2.0) to the Business Source License (BSL, also known as BUSL) v1.1 on all future releases of HashiCorp products. HashiCorp APIs, SDKs, and almost all other libraries will remain MPL 2.0.

    BSL 1.1 is a source-available license that allows copying, modification, redistribution, non-commercial use, and commercial use under specific conditions. With this change we are following a path similar to other companies in recent years.












  • Yeah, like 99% sure, anyway (unless something changed in 0.19.4 I’m unaware of). lol Got an example?

    It’ll only show ones the instance knows about, and the URL has to be exactly the same. I’m not sure if there’s an internal limit to the number of crossposts the API will return, but I’ve seen spam posts show at least 7 or 8 crossposts in the list. Any more than that, and I’ve usually already banned the person for spamming.

    The posts that show up under “Crossposts” just have the same URL. They don’t have to actually be crossposted. Any post your instance knows about that has the same URL as the one you’re viewing will show up there.

    To answer @mark@programming.dev 's question, there’s nothing really special about crossposting in Lemmy. It works the same as creating a new post except it just pre-fills the URL, body, and title as well as adding crossposted from https://instance.xyz/post/12345 to the top of the post body. They’re separate posts and the only link between them is they’re matched on the URL and show up in the “Crossposts” list.





  • It’s possible, yes.

    At the very least, the Tesseract UI allows you to group communities and browse them as a single feed. It doesn’t do group posting (yet?) because I’m still not sure how best to implement that (or whether to at all) since it can be spammy.

    All that is done in the frontend, and it works, but it would be much better if the backend supported it.

    Not sure if other UIs offer similar functionality yet, but it’s definitely possible.
