English version reroutes to the Lemmy (musician) page
I guess I’m not seeing any benefit to your plan over just having each of those communities you described run their own Lemmy instance. There is already LemmyNSFW.com for example. And then if they want a local community for music etc. they can have it, or subscribe to (a theoretical) LemmyMusic.com. Then users can have their home base but still subscribe to other remote communities.
If discovery is the concern, that can be solved more easily than building out a entirely new infrastructure like you are proposing.
This is essentially happening now. All the big servers (Lemmy.world / beehaw / Lemmy.ml) host the lions share of the content and discussion. Me and my users are essentially a user server in your example.
And he apparently removed this post when posted on lemmy.one a week ago.
I’m on Digital Ocean using a 1GB RAM / 1vCPU droplet. I have like 10 users and only a few are active, and only a handful of local posts. But no blips so far in runnning it with those specs.
Edit: sorry, Lemmy bugged out and brought me to a different post as I was crafting a reply. Not sure why…
This should not be the case. You should be able to subscribe to that remote community and make posts there, even with an account off-instance.
When you find a cool community like this, consider putting it here to help others discover it:
Yes. Although I’m not running that new release candidate yet. Might try it tonight.
Your messages are still visible.
Not that I’m aware.
#hashtags don’t automatically work on Lemmy, but if I cross post this comment to another federated service (mastodon etc.) the hashtags should work there. #lemmy @knova@knova@dartboard.social
I explained that hashtags use the pound symbol already, and usernames use the @ symbol. Communities needed their own symbol.
You already said that
I think it has more to do with the federated nature of the platform. If you are ingesting content from Mastodon for example, # is a hashtag in a post, and you can tag someone with their username with the @ symbol.
Edit: you can tag people here with @ too - such as @knova@knova@dartboard.social
So that leaves a new symbol for community linking
Thanks! Re: the community link format, it works well for me: if you type an exclamation point and start typing the name of a community, a community selector actually appears in the text box. Ex: !social@links.dartboard.social
So you are basically proposing weighting the larger communities so they appear a bit less in the feed?
This doesn’t even have to be a modification or a checkbox IMO, just call it a new sort style (Hot/Active/New/Hybrid for example).
Pretty sure this exists already. I’m not in a place where I can search and pull it up but it’s linked in the Lemmy repo. Might just need some tweaking for easier deployment for non technical users.
One of the devs also pointed out on GitHub that by showing total user count, it favors older instances, which is exactly the case with Lemmy.ml you are describing
Hmm, weird. It works for me now
