If you’re pickling that much data you should definitely consider using a more appropriate data format. Maybe a database or HDF5?

We have a guy doing svelte on my team and it looks great, I’m just hoping it’s not going to be a blocker down the road when we need more people. Is it popular these days?

While I agree that porting one of these great reddit clients to a new platform like Lemmy is the way to go, I don’t see why it should be done by the individual developer instead of treated as a community effort. We’ll just end up in the same boat again where he’s piggy backing on another project (Lemmy, etc) to build a closed-source business that only he profits from. And while I have no problem with people selling apps they wrote, if none of these developers are going to open source their work so that the community can participate, I’d rather see a longer term effort go into improving FOSS solutions.

I wish I could click on links there and have them open in Jerboa.

So, I’m in Jerboa right now, and when I click that link it opens in the browser. Is there a way to write urls that open communities in Jerboa directly?

It’s a really special book. I’m not sure I buy into the many worlds interpretation but I loved how the book delved into it in a very original eay and avoided common tropes.

Is it good? The description sounds a lot like the plot of Source Code.

I would be happy to use another instance but my account is on this one. Is there a way to migrate an account, or perhaps “link” accounts on multiple instances somehow?

This is a good point and makes me wonder: is there any interest in running a personal instance that has no communities, just for the sake of being in control of your own identity? Would that even be an appropriate thing to do? And if so, how would you convince instances to federate with you if you have no content?

And this is an even bigger problem on communities on other instances, since you are not only signed out, you don’t even have an account there. So you are forced to go back to your instance and search for it, hoping that it is seen through federation. imho what should happen in that case is that Jerboa should “adapt” the URL so that you see the community as from your own account’s instance. So if I click on a link to blah.ml/c/blahcommunity, that should actually open lemmy.ml/c/blahcommunity@blah.ml. Hm, but actually it shouldn’t do that because it should just open the community directly in Jerboa. But that would be second best.
