  • I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good

  • So, if a lot of your viewers think your channel is good enough to donate to, ad money basically becomes an afterthought.

    I don't think this is realistic, most people will not open their wallets, especially since they can't just go around paying a monthly subscription to everyone they watch. Even if their Patreon earnings were higher, I doubt their YouTube earnings would be insignificant.

    Dead Meat starts at $1 per month not $5, they have 23,300 paid members. But their YouTube looks like it gets millions of views per month (you don't only get views on new videos like you suggested, but old videos can get lots of views too as you build up a back catalog). And this is a channel that I found by doing a Google search for most successful YouTube Patreons.

    Wow their YouTube has 2.97 billion views

  • PieFed.World is now open

  • Lemmy has that too (depending which app/frontend you use)

  • Doesn't PieFed already do this?

  • The name change definitely confused some people, but keep at it!

  • [Suggestion] Enhance Security by Blocking Logins After Multiple Failed Attempts.

    Jump

  • I believe Lemmy has rate limits for requests by default, so it's not as easy to brute force a password as you suggest. But something like this is always a good feature for additional security.

    I think forcing the user to reset their password because someone is trying to guess their password probably doesn't make sense unless they got it right. It would be annoying if a troll did this to your account.

  • Yes, but also additional security is good too. And you know it's impossible to convince everyone to use 2FA, unfortunately.

  • It makes me mad how many people refused to leave Twitter, or even just diversify to posting on other platforms, even if they're supposed to be left leaning politically...

    GamesDoneQuick for example, they always say "trans rights" and yet their only social media account was on Twitter, until they joined Bluesky just 5 months ago and they still post on both. I don't get it. They could've made a Bluesky or Mastodon account years ago, even if they keep posting to Twitter just mirror your posts!

  • Do it! You'll probably find like-minded users. Don't forget PixelFed and Loops too.

    Although maybe you could just contribute to Mbin or fork it, cause I feel like it already does all of this?

  • Even more than per product, it's generally per category of products. You can run Lemmy, Mbin, or PieFed and get access to the Threadiverse. The devs actually do a good job with the interop when it fits the format of their site.

  • The Problem with the Fediverse

    Jump

  • It doesn’t seem too popular

    This is probably why it's not a focus for developers. If Mbin was some huge success, it would show demand for the feature, and more developers would prioritize it higher.

  • I really don't mind having a separate account for Lemmy and Mastodon. It's not pleasant to force different types of content into different website formats, even if the implementation is "ideal".

    That said, I am surprised Misskey doesn't allow you to follow @fediverse@lemmy.world as you would follow a user, Mastodon allows this (it's not as good as viewing inside Lemmy but it does work).

  • More confirmation that C is the canonical URL. Check the

    <head>

    section in the HTML (bottom of the screenshot)

    Remember that posts belong to users, the community only does a retweet/boost of the post.

    More info: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418

    This is why it's the link provided by the fediverse icon on Lemmy, and the "View original on..." link in PieFed. On Mbin it's the "Open/Copy original URL"

  • I don't think there's a quick way to get link B, but C is literally called the canonical URL. Check the

  • use the fediverse icon to get the canonical link to a post (which is option C in your list), you can right click it to copy the link

    on piefed.social it's in the overflow menu:

    on Lemmy it's just the icon

    although sometimes I do not grab the canonical link, like if the instance is slow or has poor downtime, I'll use link A or B from your list

    (someone should maybe add this info to the Lemmy docs https://join-lemmy.org/docs/introduction.html idk if piefed has similar docs)

  • C is the original, not B

    for example, this post's permalink is piefed.social not lemmy.world

    points at https://piefed.social/post/1003350

  • Is the Fediverse stalling?

    Jump

  • So people still have to choose an instance to login to? This is just to save you from creating an account which is like 25 keystrokes and 4 clicks?

    I also don't really want to make things easier for people who get banned often, sounds like it would be easier for trolls to bounce between hundreds of instances with fewer accounts.
