We have Lemmy communities already…

Do any of the bots that repost subreddits in Lemmy reverse and post Lemmy communities to reddit?

I’m sure Reddit would ban it if it noticed, but might be a way to attract users here for niche communities.

Sort of vaguely op-art. Or postmodern brutalist perhaps.

It could be a bit better thought out to improve readability and find a more pleasing interaction between the letter and logo elements, but it’s an interesting idea to explore further I think.

Cool, TIL, just curious about what happens to the posts you’ve made, if you delete your old account?

Are our accounts portable yet? Until they are most people (especially contributors used to the fake internet points system) are going to stick with their first account with fake internet points.

We even have our own annoying group of brigade-ers.

I’ll see myself out.

Allowing communities that are the same name across servers to “interfederate” would be interesting too, I’d like some way cut down in repeat posts in same community feeds from different servers.

This sounds like you want federation to replace openID.

I’ve been recently bingeing Look Mum No Computer’s rescue/re-build/midi-fication of an organ that had been shoehorned into an organist’s home, after the church had been converted. I’m more of an engineer than musician, but it’s amazing how much goes into the layering of sounds from so many different pipes.

My 6 yo loves learning with such a cool soundtrack too.

That’s amazing sounding! Worth the watts, even if I did get church ptsd listening to it.

Specifically its co-creator was Jeff Atwood, who is also the writer of coding horror and recently posted a pretty good endorsement of Mastadon and other non-twitter services.

He was actually one of only a dozen or so people I followed on very early twitter, before losing interest in the bullshit on there by 2010 or so and moving to Reddit.

They’re going to get more useful data from users they know everything about (threads users) interacting with us, than just scraping with an instance.

Because google and Facebook co-opted it and took over the mindshare of openID.

That’s the one, couldn’t remember those E’s for a good google search term.

Meta isn’t connecting to Mastodon to make Mastodon better, it’s doing it to get free users for Threads. As soon as it has enough Treads-first users, it will break or stop supporting Mastodon and most users of Mastodon will wonder where all the content went.

This is behind lots of tech companies’ support for open standards. The adopt, modify, dominate, and then drop the open standards and move on.

If you count ship to store or home sales, it’s competing with Walmart, Hole Depot, Zoro and EBay. Most of the same garbage sellers are on those sites as well. The problem is none of them are any better than Amazon.

I’m just attempting to shop locally, or if I need something particular , get it from more trustworthy (though unfortunately usually more expensive) sources, usually direct from manufacturers, or industrial suppliers (McMaster or Grainger for hardware or construction parts for example).

It might be a good feature/option of a frontend to automatically aggregate same-name communities across federated servers. Bogus actors would either be downvoted or defederated off the feed.
