you can try it out on https://voyager.lemmy.ml/

I made an account and subscribed to a bunch of communities on there to test out, seems pretty good

what's wrong with posting in 2 different communities? it's called cross-posting

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

inertia is very strong apparently

yea the comment does give that visibility to other people too, although you would see the cross-posted communities anyways (as long as those communities are federated with the reader's instance)

I mean like

I think it's good either way though, probably doesn't make a big difference for us since we're all in this instance, but if people start using this bot for other things too and across multiple instances then the comment could be better than a PM

I wonder if it would be better as a PM to the OP instead of a comment

is it open source?

I don’t remember seeing any significant performance/grapical differences

CPUs weren't multicore back then, this wouldn't have been to improve performance really, they'd use "green threads" to conveniently run code with waits in it, and it sounds like they had a task queue of green threads

This is also good because now more people can see where crossposts are coming from. Lemmy will automatically show other communities where a link has been posted to, but only in posts that have already been federated

And since the bot only runs on large instances they aren't going to have problems with storage space

They just needed to offer lots of storage so they could kill off Dropbox, now that it's mostly dead for consumers, it's time for Google to make money with their monopoly. Even though storage prices have gone way down.

For backup and export, Lemmy does support RSS

you could also have the current single line above the keyboard like the current landscape keyboard experience, in addition to the extra space in between the split
