I wish you the best of luck on this and I truly hope you do this, but this is what the lead dev of Sublinks tried to do. That’s the missing piece here. He tried making an external mod tooling system. Maybe you’ll have better luck than he did. I really hope you do.

Do you run an instance or have you ever ran a fediverse instance before?

It can be a source of harassment to not be able to anonymize actions.

I agree quite a bit with your second point, as someone who used to run a Minecraft server long long long ass it was quite bad.

And yeah, I think there will be solid reasons to get users to migrate. But for the most part it wont really be needed as instances themselves will be able to convert lemmy instances to sublinks instances eventually. It wont require much effort from users unless they want to switch instances entirely.

Reading, discord, mastodon, crocheting are my main things at this point. Lemmy occasionally.

For context, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to lemmy admin stuff especially in the matrix channels. There is a significant frustration and lack of confidence in the lemmy developers at this point. Even those who try to contribute to the project get eventually feeling pushed out.

Welcome to the hell of being a lemmy admin. There’s a reason why lemmy admins are fed up with the developers.

Just a bunch of Japanese script kiddies targetting the fediverse and its network for some reason. There’s active measures being taken and thankfully many instances are monitoring it pretty well.

Will there eventually be a means of converting lemmy instances over to sublinks? I know that inter instance software migration is a nightmare though.

Oh my God. This is really, really, REALLY bad. I know this looks like a useful tool but extending this to software that isn’t lemmy is going to make the rest of the fediverse enraged. Tools like these are used as active harassment vectors. Theres a reason why the other fediverse instances that make these tools are affiliated with kiwifarms. Seriously please consider disabling non-lemmy software interaction immediately!

i hope it is due to my library or cat posts and not my occasional cursed shitposts

unironically loving the way it gives me a double notification on lemmy

With Tumblr the bugs became features, so its only right for the fediverse version to do the same.

But they are correct. There are vulnerable groups of people who have a harassment risk against them. We share the fediverse with others, be mindful of that. Making a search engine or an archiver for lemmy is such a good idea with how it functions! but for the wider fediverse… that’s just directly contradictory to its culture unless it can be opted in by instance and users

Ding dong the witch is dead

I think building such a system of some kind that can allow smaller instances to rely from help from larger instances would be extremely awesome.

Like, lemmy has the potential to lead the fediverse is safety tools if we put the work in.

Oh wow no wonder I’ve gotten quite a few sign ups! Thank you for the boost! It’s seriously appreciated :)

Unfortunately those aren’t very reliable, as our current iteration of AI is not very reliable. Most models to use from perpetuate a multitude of different bias pretty heavily.

Once prominent celebrities and more news agencies start to come (and they will, the BBC is a sign of that) the culture will shift faster than you really realize. There is still an insular culture around the fediverse that tends to be a big barrier around entry for “normies” right now. Going on a mastodon instance as a new user with limited technical knowledge can be quite jarring especially if you step out of line of what it seen as culturally fitting for the fediverse

The eternal september moment for the fediverse is very much coming
