There must’ve been more than 7 devs working on it right? Right?

Every platform had 8 users at one point!

Thanks, those are awesome! I’ll be adding my own site to both

I’ve recently found the indieweb, from their website:

The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”.

We are a community of independent and personal websites based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content.

Thanks for the source, super interesting read! I would’ve guessed 1-5% as well.

Questions in surveys like this are sometimes repeated with slight variations to get more accurate results.

If you’re seeing this comment, it means outgoing federation is back online!

I’ve noticed that a more detailed writeup is warranted! So I’ll be working on that.

CORS is enabled on lemmy, you have to send the ‘Origin’ header in order to get the Access-Control headers. Which allows cross-origin for simple requests. No added headers, cookies or other data. So all API calls are made in JS by your browser.

Good question, it’s a design choice. Being attached to my name I had no interest in needing to moderate which comments should and shouldn’t be showing up under my name. There is a direct link to the posts on lemmy where they can be interacted with.

A second concern is XSS, with my own content I have no worries.

The open web and API’s are designed for this purpose, and don’t think any instance would ever follow reddit and close up theirs.

I’m all for donating to your instance owner, altough I’d be surprised if any would mind their API being used this way. Giving credit where credit is due.

Exactly, in this case the actual post is this one and posted it here as a x-post.

Edit: I own my instance, but you don’t have to own one in order to deploy this blog frontend.

This is in it’s simplest form a blog frontend for Lemmy indeed!

I’m glad you liked it, thanks for the kind words!

That requires the running and maintenance of a federated instance, which is not easy or cheap. Doing it like this allows anyone to make a BlogOnLemmy by serving but a single webpage, no extra server cost at all.

I sepperate the hosting of the content and the page itself. With a website you do need to still be serving a html page, because it has no backend the page can be served by GitHub for example.

In theory you don’t have to touch the website anymore, so you use Lemmy as your markdown frontend.

A constraint like this ensures someone can host their BlogOnLemmy without paying for anything like hosting space or running the instance themselves.

Feel free to use the code in any way you like, and enjoy your trip!

I’m running my instance for the same reason, it’s been running for over a year and I’m the only active user. Although there’s people passively using it as well.

Storage doesn’t go over 100GB much. The only downside I notice is a community on Lemmy is only federated if at least one of the users is subscribed to it. Using Lemmy-federate you can add a bot account that subscribes to new communities.

Lemmy.world is also hosted in the Netherlands IIRC, I’m just proxying through the UK.

Preposterous, I will discuss this with my 18 political parties and come back to you within 200 days.
