Reading an image, page refreshes, lose image. I wish I could turn off the auto-refresh or reduce the interval.
Yes, this is so annoying!
They’re working on removing this. When you read about the dev “stripping out websockets” that’s part of what’s changing.
Where did you see this? GitHub?
Yes I forget exactly where but it was on GitHub
If you go to the next page, it stops doing that. Also doesn’t do it on the Jerboa app.
oh damn, I hope it uses the browser cache to speed up image reloading
I’m loving it honestly. I’ve gotten myself into a complete fankle with I think five different logins, but it’s great. I’ve made a couple of posts even. Having always been a lurker, I now feel more like a participant rather than a consumer. I don’t want a monolith, I like the neighborhood feel, having to figure things out, knit up the threads myself.
I just joined .world because it sounded the most logical
“Oh it says world, that probably means i can see things all over the world”
I’m not disappointed
World here too on the Jerboa app, I’m subscribed to a BUNCH of communities in other instances and can browse and comment on them all with my world profile. Still kinda confused how it all works but I’m liking it so far
I have yet to figure out how to discover communities on other servers on jerboa. I currently just subscribe to communities on the browser which I then can see in the app.
Home screen, menu at upper left, click “All”. I also recommend changing the filter option to “Hot”, which is one of the buttons on the top right.
You don’t need multiple accounts, one account can access all different instances, including subscribing to remote communities. You just have to click “All” in the communities or post list to see them, instead of “Local”.
Except for beehaw.org defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, and I think some defederated from lemmygrad.ml.
Also it should be said that edited comments don’t seem to pass across the instances. I think they only sync when the comment has been made.
You don’t need multiple accounts, one account can access all different instances
You need a kbin account to find out if you find kbin better than lemmy.
Did beehaw.org defederate from lemmy.world ? I’m on Lemmy world and see posts from beehaw. Is there a way to check who is federated with who like some kind of map?
If I’m not mistaken, you can see the posts and can even comment, but only people on lemmy.world will see your comment. People from beehaw and other instances won’t see it. That’s because lemmy.world haven’t defederated from beehaw.
More info here: https://kbin.social/m/lemmyworld@lemmy.world/t/24341/How-the-beehaw-defederation-affects-us
You can see which instances are blocked here: https://beehaw.org/instances. It’s in the bottom of the page of every instance home page or just add ‘/instance’ after the instance’s address.
That’s actually a really clever approach
I’m new to this. I have one question. Imagine the following setup:
- Instance A federates with instances B and C
- Instance B only federates with instance C
- Instance C federates with instance A and B
Following scenario:
- Someone on instance B posts something and writes a comment to the post
- I’m on instance A and I comment on his comment
- Now someone from instance C comments on my comment
What does a person from instance B see now? I assume he won’t see my comment as instance B defederated instance A. But he should see the comment from the instance C guy. But how can he see the reply when the original comment is not visible?
Good question!
I think if you do that the little red light would stop blinking and you’d break the internet.
This will die down eventually: at the moment there are many different independent ideas of how to build federated reddit alternatives that have yet to really be tested for how the underlying systems and moderation tools scale. In due time there’s going to be a standard application or at least standard exchange format between the different services, that just doesn’t happen right now since all methods are really new and now get “suprise load tested”.
That’s also why you experience outages and Beehaw explicitly asking people not to join: everything went from “fringe techdemo” to “the internet is moving off of reddit” in a matter of less than a week (same thing is true with app support) and everything is at its breaking point: from the underlying technology to new communities appearing in a matter of hours to days (usually with less experienced moderators).
I need a damn explain it to me like I’m five for how all this works. My brain can wrapped it up into neighborhoods or space fleets but the in an out communications are the part I’m missing.
The Fediverse is like a group of interconnected neighborhoods, each representing a different social platform or community. Just as you might have neighbors on your street who interact and share things over time, these communities can communicate and exchange ideas. These neighborhoods may differ in size or focus, but they all exist within a larger universe - just like planets orbiting around a sun. In this case, think of our star system as something like Friendica (the first step towards the modern fediverse) and Diaspora* (itself originally based on Friendica). And just as there might be traffic or communication issues between planetary systems, there could be friction between distinct Fediverse networks. But ultimately, we’re still talking about a united whole here! Finally, imagine spaceships zipping back and forth through space linking up these distinct points of interest - say hello to the protocols bridging connections between decentralized nodes known as “federation” today. It’s all connected!
It’s the defederation I’m still confused. That ship (Beehaw) left the fleet and locked down it’s ship. What are the communication rules?
Select “all” rather than “local” and you’ll see content from all federated instances.
Thanks, SpaceNoodle <3
I selected it by default in my settings, but it keeps going back to “Local”
kbin is working much better than lemmy on that front.
I agree that kbin is less buggy. However there’s something in the user interface that confuses me a little, mostly with the way pictures are placed in the feeds.
But it’s more polished and theres a great “feel” to it. Can’t wait to see where it goes.
Yeah you can definitely tell kbin was made by more of a design guy.
Can you see Lemmy on kbin?
Yep, hello from Kbin! It’s all federated together and in the same format. Kbin was designed to be directly compatible with Lemmy.
I’m just sticking to lemmy.world for now. It doesn’t have all the communities I want yet but it seems more open than the others. I don’t like walled gardens or gated communities. If I wanted a platform with power hungry, elitist moderators creating circle jerk in-groups, I would have stayed on Reddit.

Not necessarily. As someone else pointed out in this thread, beehaw is currently set up so that Lemmy.world users can view and comment on posts on beehaw communities, but those comments can only be seen by other lemmy.world users. Individual instances can restrict what users from other instances can do.

5 Accounts are still unnecessary.
That’s true.
Who said you need an account on each one?
Something something multiple instances (if you register with Beehaw, you can’t access threads to Lemmy/lemmy.ml)…
just means screw beehaw, everything else seems accessible no point in catering to a single instance
Just create an account on an instamce that federates both lemmy.world and beehaw, like the one I’m currently on.
Also lemmy.fmhy.ml
Doesn’t bother me.
i was confused for a little while too, created a few accounts and was floundering. the setup will be different for everyone but currently i have a tab open with mastodon and i’m following a few seperate instances there. then i have lemmy.world also open and i have stuff from different lemmy instances and kbin coming in to my feed.
I’m liking the UI, experience on mobile could be a bit better though
Couldn’t agree more! I tried out mastodon and both versions, web and mobile, are friendlier than Lemmy. But I couldn’t get behind the twitter thing. Never liked the twitter format and wasn’t really getting through. Lemmy has a better format for me, but a bit clunkier. Sure it will get better soon
You can follow any lemmy or kbin community from one account on any instance
Except comms from beehaw if you’re on .world; leave those and join another similar comm if you are.
Why doesn’t it work between beehaw and lemmy world?
Beehaw recently defederated lemmy.world out of concern for not being able to moderate such a huge user base with current mod tools. Learn more here
Tldr: beehaw comms are gonna be dead soon when viewed through lemmy.world
Way to kill a good thing… Back to reddit I guess.
Why instantly back to reddit? There are many more alternatives.
People these days be like: 1 sign of trouble: give up
I guess it was a joke (of questionable humor/quality)
Because it’s a systematic problem. It’s not something that can be fixed somehow by better tech or something. So at best we will eventually get one central instance of Lemmy… which is essentially a worse version of Reddit with only Communists and Techy people.
Please go back to reddit.

Beehaw admins literally said that they only defederated because existing mod tools weren’t fine-grained enough to address the issue otherwise. Mastodon already has those tools, and in fact went through a similar temporary defederation issue.
So, yes, it can definitely be solved by better tech, and already has… just not on lemmy.
Oi, I’m moderate af and am only techy to people who don’t know the difference between a laptop and… the larger one!
I do like a community that values a free, open and decentralised Internet, Reddit used to, but seems to have lost that.
Beehaw told me not to join unless I could say specific groups I wanted to join. Nah from me.
You don’t need to do all that, you only need one account as they are all federated, meaning they can talk to each other.
The exemption is beehaw, because they are defederating temporarily to put less strain on the servers
Exact same feel but with Boost for Reddit
Relay for me. I really hope that someone ends up implementing some kind of translation layer for the reddit API that would encourage the existing reddit apps to supper Lemmy.
That would be a spectacular idea.
And I’m happy to see another Relay user. They seemed to be left out of the lists even though they’ve got a fantastic app
Relay said they are going to try $3/month subscription model.
I definitely got my money’s worth out of Relay Pro, but I can’t justify the subscription.
Users should be getting paid for contributing to reddit, not paying for the privilege. We create the data that reddit gets its revenue from.
Relay user here. I love Relay. Dbrady is the best. And I have no problem supporting him at $3 a month, but f* reddit after all this. I’m not giving them a penny.
Yeah my problem with the 3 bucks is that 2.50 of it is going straight to reddit’s rent seeking. I hope it works out with dBrady and relay, but it will be without me.
I’m not even convinced at $3/mo he won’t be in the red.
