I noticed that lemmy.world and slrpnk.net host old.lemmy.world and old.slrpnk.net and I was wondering if there was any interest in doing that here. Personally, I think it meshes with the SDF vibe.
Edit: this would be in addition to regular Lemmy
Edit 2: it looks like they added it at old.lemmy.sdf.org. Thank you @[email protected]!
I'd also agree that something new, rather than a reddit clone would be preferable. I think that cloning an unethical, for-profit aggregator would be antithetical to promoting free, open software, knowledge, and creativity.
Additionally, I've never really been a fan of their layout - always seemed pretty clunky.
ETA: What about a plaintext/JSON frontend? That I could absolutely get behind both from the fact that I tend to live in the terminal and that it would likely be straightforward to implement in a manner that is compatible with screen readers and other assistive devices.
EDIT2: It looks like this is terminal friendly. I think I am changing my mind.
There is an XML API endpoint that could be parsed by a terminal RSS reader like
terminews. For more information, the documentation is here. That being said, this would be read only. MLMYM does seem to be somewhat usable bylynxandw3min the terminal too... this comment was posted usinglynxand MLMYM.Edit: although it looks like it posted in duplicate lol.
Oooh. Ok. I do like that. I like
lynxbut have been contemplating rolling my own with the Charm Bubbletea libraries.
