Hey this is awesome. I really wish lemmy codebase did this to bridge communities across instances regardless of the communityname or instance.

You seem to be the one that doesn’t like hearing from people who disagree with you if you’re looking for ways to ingore entire instances based on your hurt feelings.

Dosing them with MDMA works much better in the long run

Seriously. Defederation should be a last resort against spammers and outright attacks on other instances, not because you dont agree with a single community.

To achieve what you want, I think we’d need some kind of way to export the user account and any signing keys used to prove the user is who they claim to be in the fediverse, and then re-import those to another instance. I’m not too sure if SSO would be able to achieve it if the home instance is down.

Since we’re a decentralized federated network, it would stand to reason that the SSO implementation would also be so. Maybe something built on top of DHT shared by every instance, which just stores user key hashes to verify they are who they say they are. That way there would be no issue with central authentication authority and all instances will go by the hash table for user auth.

Quick check and here’s what mastodon has been doing on the issue https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/16221

I think the best option to bridge the gap between nearly identical communities on different instances (and even the same instance) would be some kind of post tagging.

Say you post something on lemmy.ml/c/piracy but has to do with bittorrent or something. The original post can get a piracy and bittorrent tag that you can click on that to see all posts across instances with that tag. Kinda like hashtags and such on mastodon work, but on lemmy.

The thing about reddit clones is I think they try to be too much like reddit. The best thing about leaving reddit and starting new platforms is that they can really be anything the community wants it to be.

We need to build some kind of SSO that allows Lemmy users to authenticate with the same account on any instance, but will appear as if you’re still using the instance you registered on. That way you could just login to another instance if your ‘home’ instance goes down for whatever reason.

Has nlnet expressed interest in giving another grant?

Fuck em

Omg yes for some time now it seems like r/sysadmin has been a shit ton of windows admins complaining about windows server or windows admins shilling windows server. Its gotten quite cringey.

Microsoft really ruins everything
