This was written before lemmy.one was created, but I feel similarly (to not defederate) at the moment: https://fediverse.neat.pub/2023/07/10/threads/ - could definitely go either way with this one though.

Can you self-host, or are you looking for another online service? Facebook Groups is basically a forum when it comes down to it, and any forum software can do what you’re asking. I really like Discourse. You can self-host it for free (well, whatever your server costs), they’ll host it for free if you’re an open-source project, or if you’re a legal non-profit you can get 50% off their hosting for $25-50/month.

Every provider we list on our site does: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/

I’m not aware of the problems, so I can’t make such a post. Looking at this now and searching by URL for magazines on kbin and communities on lemmy instances both seem to work as expected, so I can’t reproduce what you’re seeing.

I am aware of issues with lemmy.ml, searching for communities that are hosted on that server will often fail the first few times, and subscribing to communities that are hosted on that server often shows that subscriptions are “pending,” so if that’s where you are searching for communities I can see why it’d be an issue. Federation is a two-way street, so if lemmy.one can’t fetch remote data then it won’t work, but I’ve seen many other reports of people subscribing to remote communities just fine, so I don’t think there’s any issues we’re seeing on our end.

When doing an outdoor activity, I would allow my precise location on a run.

It is well-known now that anonymizing location data still does not preserve privacy: https://iapp.org/news/a/getting-lost-in-the-crowd-the-limits-of-privacy-in-location-data-2/

Are we observing lemmy.ml having slow-downs or congestion problems?

Absolutely, even now I just opened lemmy.ml in a web browser, and the page half-loaded without any styling. Their instance is not functioning reliably in general.

DM’d you here.

PMs via Lemmy are a thing, but if you’re an existing Subreddit mod I want to verify that on Reddit :)

This is usually an issue with your language settings, I wish the configuration options here were more clear. Lemmy is still essentially alpha software, associated quirks and all.

This is an issue with lemmy.ml, not lemmy.one. Lemmy servers are responsible for sending information out to other servers, lemmy.one is not responsible for pulling information in.

If lemmy.ml is not federating your community posts or your community there is broken entirely (which it sort of looks like…) then they have to fix that, or you have to rebuild a new community on an instance which isn’t broken.

There probably wasn’t, because nobody on lemmy.one had “discovered” it yet. It is slightly complicated, but you can find remote communities more reliably with a tool like https://browse.feddit.de/, and then paste the URL of the community you find in the search page. That will tell lemmy.one to fetch the community from that server, the communities you see on lemmy.one are ones where that process has already happened.

There’s !bicycling@lemmy.ml already, or are you looking for something else?

The biggest problem to me is what I just saw you post in another reply, that these models built upon our knowledge exist almost solely within proprietary ecosystems.

and maybe even our Mastodon or Lemmy posts!

The Washington Post published a great piece which allows you to search which websites were included in the “C4” dataset published in 2019. I searched for my personal blog jonaharagon.com and sure enough it was included, and the C4 dataset is practically minuscule compared to what is being compiled for larger models like ChatGPT. If my tiny website was included, Mastodon and Lemmy posts (which are actually very visible and SEO optimized tbh) are 100% being scraped as well, there’s no maybe about it.

Sent you a PM on Reddit :)

Lots of people here with the opposite opinion of me, which is that I like the website and not the mobile apps, but overall yeah I’m pretty convinced this format is probably the best poised alternative to replace Reddit for a lot of people. Maybe not everybody, but I am willing to “settle” for quality over quantity ;)

Oh yeah, fixed 👍

Lemmy doesn’t let you follow individual users unfortunately.

You can’t interact via the Lemmy interface without an account on a Lemmy instance. Mastodon lets you follow Lemmy communities, upvote posts (via likes), and reply to Lemmy posts like you did here, but all that only happens through Mastodon if you use a Mastodon account.

This is why for people who use Lemmy regularly it probably makes more sense to register somewhere like kbin.social or lemmy.one, but interacting via Mastodon like this is nice if you just want to leave a quick comment every once in a while without needing yet another account.

I don’t see why you couldn’t just get a wildcard certificate that doesn’t include any hostnames, if you handle your traffic on a single Caddy reverse proxy anyways.

“The content” on all Lemmy instances is the same. There is no account migration, but you can just sign up on lemmy.ml. If you already had an account there and you want it back… I don’t know if it’s possible for an admin there to restore it, you might have to get in touch with them.
