They have both

Awesome!

It’s a whole different software, backend and frontend

I know Piefed is both a frontend and backend, but does this behavior require the backend? Like can it be used with a regular Lemmy backend and/or database without backwards-incompatible changes?

No questions right now. Just wanted to say thank you for your hard work.

I know y’all catch a lot of shit and get hammered with requests/demands, so I wanted to let you know that your work is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for dedicating your time and energy to making a non-corporate, federated social environment possible.

Being on Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air.

Interesting, is this all manually curated like multireddits? Would also be nice to have automatic ones (with include/exclude overrides)

The problem with it just being Piefed is that Lemmy clients probably won’t bother to support it unless it becomes standard.

Is this a frontend specific thing or does it also require the Piefed backend on your instance too? If it is just frontend, I would definitely use it for desktop browsing.

Dope seeing implementation diversity resulting in experimentation and innovation. Would love to see this adopted in other Lemmy implementations too

Many more niche communities languish because they can never get enough traction to be seen.

If I subscribe to /c/dubstep, chances are I don’t care if it is lemmy.ml/c/dubstep or lemmy.world/c/dubstep, but neither community is likely to be active because one comm on one instance needs to be the popular one for other users to sub and want to post there. What I really want is /f/dubstep

It would still be a huge benefit, especially for more niche topics, if we had something like a federation-wide comm like /f/niche_hobby that you could subscribe to instead of 20 different /c/niche_hobby communities.

Maybe comms could opt in/out of behavior to avoid the issue you described.

This would also benefit smaller instances because few people will subscribe to their comms because they are too inactive, making it so their content never gets traction.

My biggest complaint with Lemmy is that it is too hard to group & categorize content. Sometimes I want politics, sometimes I want nerd shit, but my only three options are subscribed, local, and all, which doesn’t have any categorization unless you are on an active, niche server.

Multireddits are pretty much the only thing I miss from reddit.

not a huge fan of not owning my own stuff

Communism is when I own your toothbrush. Hand it over liberal.

will write a blank check to Netanyahu to finish the genocide quickly with whatever means necessary.

This is literally happening as we speak now that the election is over. How many Gazans will be left for Trump to genocide? How many months early will Israel complete their ethnic cleansing due to Trump? Is there a rate that can occur faster than the billions of dollars we are currently surprising?

I voted for your stupid fucking genocide candidate so fuck off.

Maybe dont genocide next time. Genociders, their financiers, and those who enable them are garbage.

libs swallow even once challenge

With regards to the Global South I expect the effects are going to be fairly immediate because China is the country that’s helping Global South develop and build out infrastructure

This is actually why I say those effects will take a while for the global south. Construction projects usually take years before their utility is realized. In the meantime, there is no alternative to the dollar for the global south. They cannot oppose unilateral sanctions yet, nor can they organize against US imperialism.

I’ve been pleasantly impressed by the rate of progression in recent years, but I’m not getting my hopes up for an early miracle. I’ll pray for the collapse of the dollar, but my bet is on 10-20 years before the US cannot wield their economic posture as a weapon against most of the world.

Can you elaborate? What tampering do you mean, what benefits does it provide, and why would the be lost because of this move?

It will certainly have some immediate effects, but the actual breaking down of dollar hegemony will definitely take upwards of a decade…which is still fast in terms of geopolitics time. Unfortunately for the global south, the effects that will accelerate their liberation will fall towards the later ends of this timeframe.

Won’t result in a civil war. American libs are only capable of organizing for imperialism and complaining on the internet. They will piss and moan, but inevitably stop short of doing anything meaningful.

See: Bush v. Gore

This would be way easier to implement without blockchain. Data portability doesn’t require any of the consensus mechanisms or distributed computation, even if they would result in user data being portable.

Nix really has a kickass way of doing this. Won’t conflict anywhere and always let’s you know what is managed by Nix.

Great username
