I think in order for both to work towards a better fediverse, there needs to be a “true” sync. Not like the bridge Bluesky is maintaining, we need something to sync both ways. Even if its just a subset with just public posts to begin with.

I know a lot of fediverse software has their own API that extends their own functionality beyond the AP protocol, just to make things more complicated :). But it does help with say bookwyrm needs to know something specific from another bookwyrm instance.

Sounds like a good gig!

Same. Theres a lot of good stuff out there now.

I hope your right too lol.

As a dev the reason pdf is so strange is because it’s a compound format. It can be just images strung together. It can also be pure text with fonts, ect…etc …

If you open the file as a text file, you can see this. It’s many different formats in a trenchcoat.

Very good news!!

Direct sponsoring has worked in the past with many open source projects (including lemmy.world). Could be closer to what Patreon does.

Give it a couple of years. AI is just getting started.

My wife and I were discussing this. This isnt “slow” to us, its just a tiny bit inconvenient. We were used to the old AOL pictures taking a good minute or two to load.

We would get rid of Youtube before we get ads.

Ok cool! I updated yt-dlp via pip, and it looks like its working again. No warnings or anything. Awesome.

Ublock origin (if your using it) “fixed” the issue shortly after. Im convinced someone at google works on adblock lol. Probably not true but the timing was really fast.

Yeah Peertube is awesome. It already scales very well with its tech. Its been growing too. I think its good to have multiple alternatives. Its a good free option.

Ultimately the platform is the last important part of watching a video. If the creators can get more $$/activity going somewhere else they will. It happened to Vimeo, it will happen to Youtube.

My ip was blocked a LONG time ago by google for using yt-dlp. Works with VPN but nothing else. Fun times. I think I only pulled a couple of videos off for archival services. On my own channel non-the-less.

Ive had issues with personal instances and gotosocial with the bridge but not mastodon.social. Not sure if anyone else is having the issues.

Fedidb should be taken with a grain of salt.

Yunohost is pretty easy all things considered.

Most of my services are on the equivalent of a raspberry pi. But it’s not really for scale, just for fun.

It’s been pretty good too. Thanks everyone for making this collection of sites fun and interesting! Fedi is awesome 😎

At work just about all major services are super slow or down. It’s like cloud strike again.

Oh well I still get paid. But it’s crazy how much centralization affects the world wide web.

Yep

They have such a custom site. In a good way. Works well with RSS :)
