After reading the README and watching the videos therein, this feels like a nice piece of software and well thought out. Thank you for developing it. I am going to try it out tomorrow.

In the meantime, what are your thoughts on tackling bookmarks on mobile?

Asking since many bookmark-worthy links are often shared via phone chats, at least in my experience. I would love to manage, or at least put those with the rest of my bookmarks on other machines.

I feel like the only true possibility of an alternative is like such a place, a single project that is consistent everywhere and lets people have their entire work, so that it looks centralized, even if it's not.

I agree. Version control might be the ideal domain to pull this off in, or at least it has the most potential.

A note from the mod on AI-generated comics

Are you referring to the post containing a Poorly Drawn Lines comic?

If so, heresy!!

I like their comics. They are simple in style and taste. I can see that may be perceived as low quality by some.

But in relation to the topic of this post, their comic strips are certainly not AI-generated.

Thank you. I am aware of Tesseract but didn’t know this was its logo.

Can you also share more context behind your original comment?

There have been multiple alternative front ends for Lemmy especially since the Reddit API exodus.

E: grammar and typos.

That may be a good idea. However, people have had around 25 years of familiarity with all things centralised on the internet and the conveniences associated with it. If anything, we are doubling down on the centralised nature of the internet.

It will take a great amount of time and effort to build a equivalently convenient decentralised alternatives, and to overcome the inertia to migrate to it.

The latter I believe is only possible when something enormously drastic happens. We had a good number of drastic events happen in the last decade (Twitter poisoning, Meta privacy breaches, Reddit shenanigans), but none enough to convince people to move to alternatives.

Another possibility is for regulations and/or governments to support the alternatives, but that may have unintended side effects of its own.

Call it the network effect, or the momentum of becoming a staple in the tech community, or whatever; GitHub is here to stay for a while, and the leaders in charge of it are well aware of this.

GitHub has gained enough attention that it is almost impossible to ignore. Projects on GitHub tend to attract a level of engagement (code contributions, issue reports, and feedback) that other code forges do not enjoy.

One unfortunate consequence of this, which I have experienced recently, is when recruiters ask for links to my past work or open-source contributions but refuse to accept links to relevant repositories on GitLab. The number of companies where this occurred was significant enough for me to set up mirror repositories on GitHub.

Another frustrating but silly consequence was when I was questioned during one of the interviews why my activity graph on GitHub was empty: I had simply not enabled it.
