If I hadn’t given the instance to someone else, I would have considered leaving a community note on Rimu’s user page with a red exclamation mark saying “this user is a complete idiot”.

Valid concern. Still, I don’t enjoy waiting for the anime girl to scan my browser too :)

I’m not saying mining in the background. Only at startup just like Anubis. I remember those scam sites too.

To be honest, I don’t like it either, but in the age of AI, site owners need to make money somehow.

It’s like a community. They present categories as AP Groups. This way, categories can be viewed as a community on Lemmy. For example:

https://lemmy.world/c/desk@fusil.uk https://lemmy.world/c/programming@chrastecky.dev

Creator of Lemmy Federate here (not the main maintainer anymore, handed over to lemmy.world management). The reason I switched to DNS-based authentication is that not all software has messaging capabilities.

For example, WordPress doesn’t have messaging. Guppe uses a different messaging infrastructure based on Mastodon. Custom hobby software doesn’t have it either (blogs like chrastecky.dev). I’m not sure about messaging capabilities of NodeBB and Friendica but DNS-based authentication makes Lemmy Federate support all types of federated software that implements FEP-1b12: group federation.

For example, although Lemmy Federate currently doesn’t have any code specifically for Piefed, it does have Piefed support and 10 instances are already registered.

Cool!

Forgejo’s most promising feature was federation, and unfortunately, they don’t seem to be working on that.

Hello, it will be up again, likely this weekend. Since I handed over my instance (https://lemy.lol/post/63832683), I had to remove it from the server.

v1 excites me! As someone who has been using Lemmy since v0.17.0, I must say that Lemmy has improved tremendously.

You’re welcome. You have probably checked it by mistake. It is a bit confusing as there are about 10 checkboxes in the settings :)

You have checked “bot account” in your account settings.

Happy if I gave an idea.

I just do query DNS records and fetch nodeinfo. Shouldn’t that be enough?

After verifying that the user is admin, will you continue to send PM code when logging in? If so, then software without a message receiving mechanism will still not be able to use Fediseer.

I suggest you consider the way I did it in Lemmy Federate. I create a private/public key pair and ask admins to add the public key as a TXT record. If the private key entered while logging in matches the public key in DNS, admin can log in.

This way it is not necessary to query the user with webfinger and send a message. You also avoid the hassle of distinguishing between different messaging structures in the Fediverse.

It’s good to see an auth library with built-in OIDC server. Thanks for the post I’ll check.

It’s cool but without legacy support, there’s no way mainstream attention. Do what Tutanota does, encrypt whenever possible.

This depends on the instance of the video being used. Some instances clone a copy of the video, some use proxies, and some send the link directly to the user. I don’t recommend it if you have limited bandwidth.

Tesseract was functional but not as beautiful as Photon. I think I’ll stick with Photon.

Agreed. This is not YC news.

Probably for the same reason that Palestinians do not leave Palestine. It could be habit, belonging, hot political atmosphere, not being wanted by other countries, or not having any other options.

Also this is wrong community.
