Got Lemmy running in some Docker containers to play with. In terms of being a personal pinboard alternative for link sharing, it's missing tagging or hash tags. So, that might keep it from being handy for me, since I use tags as a way to find things laterCould just be that I'm aiming for a use case not intended to be addressed by Lemmy 🤷♂️

So this Lemmy thing isn't exactly what I wanted for personal link sharing, but it's been pretty neat to have an instance up and see federated groups & comment threads working.Still got some troubleshooting to do, though, since posts on my new server don't seem to be recognized by Mastodon instances (but they do from other Lemmy servers)

I think there's an interesting instance-as-gateway thing going on here that we kinda lost with centralized services.Like, I have a Lemmy instance and through that I can read & respond to threads in communities on other instances.It's a lot like FidoNet back in the day, where your local dial-up BBS was your gateway to the federated echoes with discussion coming in from elsewhereMastodon has this too, of course, but Mastodon is less group / topic / community centered

Another fun thing is that with Lemmy based on ActivityPub, I could still build my own link sharing server that works more how I'd prefer - but still interoperate with Lemmy and Mastodon and Calckey and....

Of course "activitypub as fidonet" is not a new idea. I'm just thinking about it again.https://l33t.codes/2023/02/04/ActivityPub-is-the-new-FidoNet/

@simon I don't understand why some folks love trains so much, but I'm really happy for them and hope to find stuff that makes me as happy 😁

@kissane Not sure if you're looking for a job - but, if so, just copy paste this post as the cover letter for this onehttps://www.mozilla.org/en-US/careers/position/gh/5082141/

@simon I don't think they check off all the items on your list, but I bought my first few domains from Pair Domains almost 20 years ago and have never transferred them awayhttps://www.pairdomains.com/

Gruber says: "...the idea that administrators of Mastodon/Fediverse instances should pledge to preemptively block Facebook’s imminent Twitter-like ActivityPub service (purportedly named Threads) strikes me as petty and deliberately insular. ... to me this feels like convicting Facebook of a pre-crime."To me, this take feels obtuse to the point of intention - or at least self-parody. Smells a bit like the whole "paradox of tolerance" folks like to shop around in debates.Surely you can't possibly be unaware that Meta (née Facebook) already has a rich history of acting badly, that many folks switched to alternatives like Mastodon as a response to that, and many now express wariness & outright revulsion to that same bad actor wandering into a new party?My dear sweet summer child, don't be a doofus.https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/06/19/not-that-kind-of-open

"The whole point of ActivityPub as an open protocol is to turn Twitter/Instagram-like social networking into something more akin to email: truly open."The point of an open protocol is to help folks build what they want to build. Not an obligation to welcome everyone into their house.If I have a full beer keg and you have a tap that fits it, that doesn't necessarily mean you're invited to my barbecue.

@catvalente I'm just vaguely rooting for them to mutually annihilate like matter & anti-matter and be out of the blast range
