Actually probably not. Not without major concessions. The pound will have to go which they will never accept unless they have absolutely no other choice

I’m willing to bet that Linux is irrelevant to Microsoft. It doesn’t threaten them, Microsoft has it’s core business elsewhere

The metaverse was stillborn.

It was the hype for like 4 weeks and was dead before it even existed

Lemmy users are just delusional in that regard. You can’t just switch away from Google, its not the tech that makes in great, its the content. It’s the same with messengers, if your friends arent there how useful is that foss messenger really?

Thankfully the only creator I regularly watch that does non-educational videos uploads them on their own website. For everything else nebula actually is an alternative, although I’m not subscribed to it at the moment

This is what I always hoped would happen. Once one country does it and it works, there’s no excuse for other countries to not follow suit

Might also be because there are more radical right wingers than left wingers where you live

Google will try everything in their power to stop us from blocking their ads. It’s their main source of revenue, you don’t have to be a genius to see why they don’t like ad blockers

That’s why I chose to ignore it. What am I gonna do about it

Yeah July was basically November

That’s exactly what I meant to say ;-)

Pretty sure it didn’t work, but I can’t replicate it right now. Will need to see if it happens again

I meant page 1, sorry

To be clear, I checked twice that my limit and page parameters are correct. I request page 0 with limit 10 and get nothing, while the post counts clearly say there are multiple comments and while the web interface shows them normally. Very weird

Yes! I didn’t see your post, I’m having the same issue, specifically with the instances lemmy.world and feddit.de. Good to know it’s not my fault I guess?

That’s likely because you are asking the api for a paginated list of posts/comments. When you request page 1 at one point and page 2 at a later time, the list of posts can change inbetween, so posts that were part of page 1 have now been pushed down into page to, so you get them again when loading page 2. The solution is to keep a list of post ids that are already in your list of posts and don’t load those again, same with comments.

You would have to support each service separately, because they all work differently.

What connects Lemmy, Mastodon and other fediverse services is the ActivityPub protocol, that’s the standardized communication protocol that makes everything run. The individual instances run different software that offer entirely different APIs (application programming interface; basically the language that defines how an app talks to a service) so in order to support Mastodon, Lemmy and Kbin, an app must explicitly implement the APIs for those three services.

So an app that generally just supports every service that will be added to the fediverse in the future can’t be made unless we agree on some form of standard API, which we haven’t (yet) and which may not even be feasable, because different services have much different capabilities.

A fediverse discord clone would offer completely different data structures and functionality than Lemmy, so an app that magically just works with both isn’t possible to make.

I think the majority of people who will go to Lemmy are already here. Nobody waits until reddit has died to search for an alternative. And I think the amount of people who are active on reddit and who haven’t heard about the changes that are about to come at all is very small

we’re not aware animal shave

Indeed, I have never seen an animal shave. You might be on to something
