@uthredii Hopefully they consider kbin. Mastodon has already enough client support.

@Marv IMO we need some NSFW instances. It wouldn’t be a problem with the rest of lemmy/kbin because it’s easy to filter out communities/magazine or entire instances.

There is a legitimate demand for NSFW content. And NSFW content can be a decisive factor in the success of a platform. (See Tumblr vs Twitter, photographs on instagram, etc.) Sex workers are also a vulnerable group and one of the goals of the fediverse is to provide a place for marginalized groups.

@Marv
BUT, it needs moderation and moderating NSFW is hard, exhausting and time-consuming. Not everyone wants to do that. Also when I say NSFW content, it doesn’t have to be porn bot posting content they don’t own. It could be OC only, a photograph community that allows nude models, etc. Unlike porn dumps communities, those are important places to have.

Edit: Also research the history of switter, it’s very interesting. And one of the big failures of the fediverse. We should learn from it.

I think the main issue is that calckey.social is used as a pre-prod testing ground to live-test “-dev” releases that are less stable than even “-rc” releases let even stable releases.

The question is can calckey.social be both cutting-edge highly updated arch-linux style and the flagship of calckey? I like the idea of pre-testing new features before everyone else, but a flagship should be stable. It’s hard to do both.

They also have growing pains.

There need to be one first follower for the community to be synced.

You are the first to follow this community from this lemmy server. Now the community is synced and will keep updating.

@Bicyclejohn I don’t know about “replace”, but popular social media could JOIN the fediverse.

I don’t blame new users to be late on news. But to make a quick recap, the people interested in implementing ActivityPub include:

- Meta (insta/twt replacement)
- Tumblr
- Wordpress.com
- Medium (currently only running mastodon)
- Discourse
- Flarum

Last time I check those were a few popular social media.

Discourse and Flarum in particular are relevant to Lemmy

@aka_quant_noir @Bicyclejohn

Some people are working on that. Calckey will soon be able to import posts from twitter (can alerady import from mastodon). Pixelfed can already import from instagram right now!!

Kbin and lemmy are very late in that regard. You can’t even migrate your social graph.

@Senseibull
You can think of it like emails.

A lemmy community is like an automated mailbox that sends everything they receive to all subscribers.

You can host a mailing list/community on gmail.

Then you can subscribe to the mailing list from outlook.

Then a user can send a post to the mailing list from yahoo.

The automated mailbox at gmail will receive the message from yahoo and send it to outlook and all other subscribers.

@chocolatine
Ça dépend de ce que l’on attend de lemmy. Si l’objectif c’est de dépasser Reddit en nombre d’utilisateurs/post par minute ou n’importe quelle autre métrique. Non j’y crois pas du tout

Si l’objectif c’est de passer un cap critique qui permet au réseau d’être utilisable et utile. Alors oui c’est tout à fait possible. Mastodon l’a fait et c’est plus dur de réseauter un twitter-like qu’un reddit-like. Même une commu reddit de 10 personnes peut être cool, twitter est censé être mondial

@V4uban J’apprécie énormément l’effort des nouveaux arrivants pour créer rapidement de nouvelle instances. (comme sh.itjust.works). Mais on ne sait pas trop si ça va durer dans le temps.

C’est cool de répartir les utilisateurs sur pleins de petits serveurs, mais pour héberger les communautés, il vaudrait mieux des instances de taille moyenne hébergés par des admins expérimentés.
