Lemmy instance admins: interest in "onboard via Reddit OAuth"? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I may be misunderstanding then. How will you integrate fediverser into the lemmy registration process? I don't think I understand your vision here.

Lemmy instance admins: interest in "onboard via Reddit OAuth"? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Sounds like a fun coding project. Go ahead and build it! I'm always in favor of more discoverability.

It also sounds like something that would belong on join-lemmy or another standalone service. Not sure where us instance admins come into play.

Alerts for Shohei pitching days? (fanaticus.social)
 

Hi all, I have Shohei in an ESPN daily league where he can play both UTIL and SP. I've done a really poor job min-maxing this year with him and am missing out on starts (I am not good at daily leagues ๐Ÿ˜„

Does anyone know a way were I can get alerts on days where Shohei is the probable pitcher so I can move him from UTIL to SP?

Anyone want to mod? (fanaticus.social)
 

This community needs a mod other than just me. Anyone want to volunteer?

I'll be updating the lemmy-ui and backend in a few minutes to latest.

Short-Term Fanaticus Roadmap (fanaticus.social)
 

Here's my immediate-term roadmap for this instance:

  1. Establish more formal site-wide Code of Conduct
  2. Define Creative Commons licensing for content
  3. Build some bots for our mods!

A bit longer, but still short-term:

  1. Establish an organization to run this instance
  2. Create a way for this org to collect donations to lesson server cost burden

And starting now/soon but moving into the medium term:

  1. Refactor infrastructure to ensure durability and stability
  2. Start and/or contribute to open-sourced projects related to lemmy mod-tooling, bots, and wikis

Maybe not surprisingly, I'm actually off to the park in a few minutes to toss a baseball around with some friends but I'll be back this afternoon to work on these tasks!

Please comment your thoughts on the roadmap. Am I missing anything? Is there anything you'd like to see me focus on? Do you want to contribute?

Great to hear! And welcome! I haven't posted anything in either r/baseball or my home sub, r/NYYankees. I've been testing and trying to get my back-end affairs in order over the past couple days before I started blastin'.

I have however, tried contacting the mods of r/baseball and another individual mod via DM to open a dialogue about a migration but haven't heard back in a few days. I'm not sure if I'm being ignored or if Reddit is blocking me ยฏ\(ใƒ„)/ยฏ. I also joined r/baseball's discord chat after work today though and was poking around there for the right place to mention it.

I'd welcome any help with spreading the word though! I'd imagine it would be a lot for meaningful coming from a fellow Friar than a dirty Yank :)

Migrating baseball redditors to non-default instances (fanaticus.social)
 

Hello, this might break the instances rules for self-promotion but I hope they forgive the plug in the name of spreading the load off the default lemmy.ml instance.

I started an instance at fanaticus.social specifically to talk about sports -- no politics allowed! I also created a sister community to this instance's [email protected] as well as clones of the subreddits for all 30 major league teams.

I know the main default lemmy.ml and beehaw.org have experienced some load issues recently so I think it's prudent to spread the love. Fanaticus is dedicated to all sports-related content, not just baseball, but I'm starting there because that's my passion! See ya there!

When reddit goes dark this month and forever after, I'll be looking for a new home on the internet to discuss my favorite pastime, baseball.

I am not here to convince you that lemmy is the next best thing or that it's going to replace reddit but it's the best we have now. If people of like minds or similar interests band together, we can create our own place and ensure that place doesn't disappear or decay because it's controlled by companies or individuals who don't have the community's best interests in mind.

To that end, I've created this lemmy instance, separate from the main lemmy.ml instance, in order to create a space for sports fans to discuss and share news about their favorite sports, teams, players, etc.

I think it's important for durability's sake that there is no mass migration from reddit to a single lemmy instance. That defeats the most powerful part of lemmy: the federation.

If a community can own and run it's own servers, it can never be beholden to anyone.
