As usual with the fediverse, choice is key.

There were quite a few complaints on [email protected] about [email protected] not having any real alternative (https://reddthat.com/post/20166234), so let's see if we can revive the programming.dev one.

And if it fails, at least we tried.

I had a quick look, no post for 2 days, the two post of todays are reposts from someone who posted them to [email protected] too. The mod hasn't been active for a month.

And having a community off LW for a change is nice, this is like hitting two birds with one stone.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I was looking at weekly and monthly stats, as well as the amount of subscribers. Though I agree that the most recent data shows that [email protected] is probably more active. And this community fits programming.dev more. I'll subscribe to both and see where it goes :s

I dont get these alternatives. Lemmy needs a feature to mirror communities to other servers. Having 2 is annoying

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We still have [email protected] and [email protected] side by side.

I guess in this case the question is if you are okay with lemmy.ml moderation practices: https://slrpnk.net/post/10244872

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Crazy read, yes Lemmy.ml is problematic.

But some kind of post mirroring is still needed to make this really work.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully people will agree with you and post to [email protected] rather than [email protected]

And people will probably keep an eye on both and repost from the old one to the new one

Sorry, links are a bit messy sometimes with Mbin

[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

Should work fine. Not sure how your comment syntax looked like but the second link also worked properly, just not the first one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I used the same for both, I even checked after your comment. Anyway, at least yours work

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Huh. Okay, that's odd.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's something that needs to be done on the activitypub protocol level. As users we can only work with what we got available to us.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Sure? Not on the lemmy side?

But yes, it is what it is. I copied a lot of my posts over

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Thanks BTW!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The Fediverse is more than just Lemmy. If you'd make a Lemmy exclusive solution, then only Lemmy would actually be able to use it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes but Lemmy needs it XD but sure it would be better everywhere

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And what makes you think that other software / sites do not?

Should I make a new account for / on programming.dev then?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

No, this is accessible via https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] for you!

Lemmy.ml is fine.

You can migrate if you choose to, but it's really fine. People are over exaggerating the issue, it's mostly about Lemmy.ml communities and not users

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I feel for you. People said "just join any instance" and now people like you have everything set up on the CCP's Fediverse propaganda hub.
