They made their announcement on their own site, they are the somewhere else, and the link has found it's way here so what's the problem?

We call websites like this one link aggregators but they are just platforms, it's the users who are the aggregators collecting the links that we are interested in. We don't need a system of top down promotion and don't need to have our platforms serve those who want to promote. Likewise projects like Jellyfin don't owe us a presence and this post itself proves they don't need one. The idea that everyone must maintain a brand identity and that our social media should be polluted with advertising is something that the fediverse has and I hope will continue to stand against.

Nah, dude, chill, 😅.

They just built a nice independent forum, but I would have liked to be able to participate in their forum with this account (federation) instead of having to create a new account.

That's it, this is not going to keep me awake at night, in fact, I am happy they are finding independence from Reddit. The world keeps turning, have a nice week!

I wonder if Lemmy could do single sign-on support like how you can log in some places with your Google or Facebook account.

Yeah, definitely. Lemmy could implement an OpenID identity provider, then accounts could be used to log in to anything that supports OpenID Connect.
