Subscribing to user posts on Lemmy would be a fantastic feature

TimyRSS looks interesting, noticed they have extension support (freshRSS seems to too) so marine that’s the best route to what I want

It looks like there are already some extensions that do a bit of what I’m looking for

https://github.com/FreshRSS/Extensions

I’ll have to look at the API to see if I can add tagging or something.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of.

What I’m envisioning is articles group by topic (international, tech, etc.) and something that groups articles on say Ukraine like Google News does.

A lot of RSS is like an email inbox and I want a news feed.

That looks great

The list of related software they use is also very handy

I think what I want is RSS plus categorization, like a Google News type app.

RSS alone can be kind of overwhelming.

But maybe I can build this on RSS with ollamma.

I have big regrets buying a WD MyCloud device.

It sucks. Massively sucks. I have it robot nightly or else it stops working.

Wish I’d started with a Synology.

I don’t think you’re dramatic.

For me it’s about reclaiming my right to participate in online discourse on my own terms. In a way the fediverse is freedom.

I plan on trying to self host a mastodon instance for myself and rebuild my blogs.

I don’t think I’d ever want to self host a lemmy, I like being anonymous to a reasonable degree. But I like that lemmy lets me have a voice without acquiescence to reddits enshittification.

Also the community is largely great. I love the memes, I love the comments and discussions, and I like that I learn things from fellow internet users again.

You’re coming in loud and clear here in the great white North!

How was the process of setting up self hosting?

This makes sense to me.

All these people had to pick an instance and now probably understand how to do that.

That’s the biggest hurdle to signing up for lemmy or mastodon.

Gotta collect them allll… FEDIVERSE!

It’s a great conversation starter

I don’t know if Lemmy is for everyone, but I’m very happy to see the fedicerse gaining more traction.

Every user that onboards to pixelfed is going to now understand how to set up mastodon.

Blue sky is basically trying the exact same thing and expecting a different result.

I need to set my own instances…

That actually seems attractive to me, but I’m unsure where I stand yet. It’s pricey, I just want a box I can put in the basement and then connect everything to over wifi.

I’m a little underwhelmed by the iOS app itself, but the content is great

Hopefully Pixelfed continues to bloom into a solid community!

The app doesn’t really feel native, and doesn’t have features like clicking to enlarge an image. If it’s open source I’d look into helping though

Yahoo just gradually died as people started slowly abandoning it.

The same can happen to Facebook, but it won’t die with a bang.

We’ve got some strong Star Trek nonsense brewing in !tenforward@lemmy.world

I don’t care if it catches on, I’m enjoying it here where the people are still awesome.

They can’t swipe your password if it’s wrong

They could of course enter it on the target website and see it’s wrong though, so this only works against the crappiest phishing attempts
