I also develop Ibis, a federated wiki.

  • Youre right.

  • No that would be too annoying.

  • What's up with all the 1.0.0 versions that are released on GitHub?

    Jump

  • I was testing a new feature for Lemmy 1.0, native binary releases in addition to Docker. Sorry if it spammed your notifications, should have marked them as draft or prerelease.

  • Actually thats true. Gonna remove that button for now, we can still add it back later if there are too many complaints.

  • The dialog can also be translated using weblate (although thats not currently setup for 0.19 backports).

    And the dialog cant be linked from other places. In any case we can still make changes after this is released based on feedback.

  • You mean to add donation links for the instance? That makes sense, but I fear that it would be too complicated for users. Admins already have many ways to put donation links eg in the sidebar and sticky posts, but for developers theres only a small button at the top which is easy to miss. And our donations have gone down a lot, now only 2400 Euro per month.

  • Thanks for the suggestions. I changed the first sentence to "Lemmy is an open source project developed by volunteers and provided for free", and changed the hide button text:

    Edit: Also shortened the title so it fits in a single line:

  • Orange is actually the primary color in the theme, although green (secondary color) is used much more.

    Edit: Nope that broke the thumbnail, uploaded it to Lemmy directly now.

  • Sounds like another issue with programming.dev, because here it's working fine.

  • Federated wiki software?

    Jump

  • There is an API so you could write a script to import any kind of data.

  • Federated wiki software?

    Jump

  • Its similar to Lemmy in many ways, so like Lemmy posts are redundantly mirrored across instances, the same is true for Ibis articles.

    Getting Wikipedia federated would be great, but it will take a long time for Ibis to be ready for that scale.

  • Federated wiki software?

    Jump

  • For now my focus is to make it federate with Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse. But you're welcome to open an issue for that kind of feature.

  • I reckon this is the usage distribution of Lemmy servers that we'll end up with.

    Jump

  • Lemmy's AGPL license doesnt allow forking the code into a proprietary server. All changes need to be open source as well, otherwise the operator can get sued. So a proprietary Lemmy software would have to be developed from scratch which would take a long time.

  • Discussion: Should Lemmy Implement Restricted and Private Community Options?

    Jump

  • Some of these will be available in Lemmy 1.0:

    • #5478: different community visibilities, including Unlisted which is not included in All feed, and Private (only approved followers can view/post)
    • #5038: some more site settings for voting
    • Plugins RFC: allows arbitrary restrictions for voting and posting

  • Even if we sold out, at most they could get control over lemmy.ml and the git repository. Other instances are under no obligation to upgrade to new Lemmy versions, and could switch to a forked project if needed. The vast majority of Lemmy isnt under our control at all (which is the major difference compared to Reddit).

  • Can we write lemmy bots?
