Thanks for sharing. The default launcher on my phone is terrible and I hate having to move to different layouts every time I switch phones (which only happens every 5+ years, but is still annoying) so I have been using Nova for many years.

Just turned off its internet access on both data and wifi, let’s see if it complains about it.

As a note: I can see that it only transfered a few hundred kilobytes in the past month, which isn’t a lot, but it’s still more than zero.

Do they? I think most of Lemmy still prefers online freedom, it should be one of the reasons that brought us here. Plus, the people you are gonna meet even by changing instance are going to be more or less the same. The number of instances you are barred from by staying on .world is pretty small.

One can hope…

You know, in a way I am glad that we managed to implement such a piss poor implementation of a PiRaCy ShIeLd. They are going to have to roll back or disable this piece of crap in a matter of days and that will hopefully be the end of these silly internet restrictions for good.

Had the implementation not sucked ass this bad, we would have needed to wait for some EU infringiment procedure or ECJ order to shut it down. Instead, this way it’s gonna end way more quickly.

Nah it should not. It would hurt decentralization and small instances. We already have a tool for curbing spam, it’s called the Fediseer. You may or may not have heard about it, but most admins have.

Exciting stuff! In particual I really like how neatly organized the project roadmap is, with a quick glance at the project GitHub page I can tell what you guys are working on and how development is proceding.

Also, props for using a widely established language like Java. I know Rust has lots of advantages and is all in all an awesome language, but having to learn a new language just to be able to contribute and submit PRs to your favourite open source project kinda kills the hype (and takes away a bunch of time).

Yeah sure. Assuming you are only targeting Lemmy instances (other softwares make this a bit more complicated), A “can interact” with B if:

• A hasn’t blocked B
• B hasn’t blocked A
• Neither A nor B are on allowlist. If either is on allowlist, it must have explicitly added the other one to its allow list (this is very uncommon, the only big instance using allow lists is hexbear.net)

So, to verify this, you could query the Defed Investigator with the instances you care about, one at a time. Only select the softwares you care about (likely only Lemmy) to make the query faster. Say you wanted to verify the compatibility between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works (just making an example). Go to https://defed.xyz/check?name=sh.itjust.works&software=lemmy

• ✔ lemmy.world doesn’t appear in the “Instances defederated from sh.itjust.works” (this means .world hasn’t blocked SJW)
• ✔ lemmy.world doesn’t appear in the “Instances defederated by sh.itjust.works” (this means SJW hasn’t blocked .world)
• ✔ lemmy.world doesn’t appear among the “Instances not allowing sh.itjust.works” (this means .world isn’t on allowlist or, if it is, it has explicitly allowed SJW. Again, this is very uncommon)

Also make sure the instance you are looking for isn’t among the “Instances that returned errors”, of course.

Like @iso@lemy.lol said, can’t query from the backend if there is no backend :)

It’s all serverless, so this is as good as it gets.

Looks like FediDB is a little drunk lol. Anywaty thanks for the reminder, Blaze. Gonna update mine right now.

Hey this is pretty cool! I wanted something similar for my instance, with a webhook notifying me of any application request, so I can get a notification and react as soon as possible. Well, I ended up having to implement that from scratch within my @AutoMod@lemmy.basedcount.com bot. A solution like this would probably be WAY more efficient than my current setup (with a client continuously polling for new applications). Good stuff!

I think apps would need to be rewritten from the ground up with ActivityPods as a basis instead of every software’s ActivityPub implementation. Very interesting technology and it definitely does solve a shortcoming that the Fediverse tends to have at the moment. (Mastodon sorta has a SSO implementation of its own but other services lack it and it’s quite the issue). But I am afraid most Fedi developers won’t rebuild their apps just for this.

A bit hard to tell from the post here in !fediverse@lemmy.world but yes, it did work! Link.

Ottimo lavoro, InformaPirata!

Fair enough :)
I was wondering if you were trying to run Lemmy on some place you are totally not supposed to run it on. Like a nintendo64 or a samsung smart fridge lol.

Glad you were able to fix it!

Sorry, despite both being an admin and having recently migrated my pict-rs to an object storage, I don’t have a solution for your issue.

I’m just here to ask a question out of sheer curiosity: why install from scratch? To me it sounds like asking for trouble and shooting yourself in the foot. Is Docker not suitable for your setup?

I understand. If it was up to me I would consider the permission settings a priority, as agreeing to all of that can be a pretty big deal for some people (I know it is for me). Some users may be willing to go all the way, but many might be gelous or scared of losing their Reddit accounts or even giving access to them to what, in their eyes, would be a complete stranger.

Anyway, as I said, the idea itself is cool. Hopefully your project can be a gateway to the Fediverse for many Redditors, as the enshittification goes on.

While I admire the initiative of bringing Reddit users to Lemmy, you are asking for way too many permissions, my dude.

submit links and comments from my account

read my DMs and send DMs from my account

keep these permissions indefinitely

I wanted to check out your project, but there is no way in hell I am agreeing to that lol. Chances are you don’t even need all of those. Also, I see that apparently Fediverser is open source. You might want to point that out on the portal.alien.top site, as that might make people more keen on trusting you with their Reddit accounts

Private torrent tracker. Invite only, to my knowledge.

Are you good, mate? Is it just my instance or this comment got posted four times within the span of 30 seconds?

Eh, it still wouldn’t be “free software” at that point. “Free” also means freedom to send your data to Meta if you want to.
