It’s just less hyped now compared to days of reddit API change and Twitter going to Elon Musk.

Still waiting for an Arabic lemmy 😔

It seems it does, but when I tried it it didn’t work very well. I don’t remember why, but it wasn’t exactly what I hoped.

Where? Please show me as I’d rather contribute to or fork existing projects

Typically Arabs would be very impressed to see you even try to speak Arabic. I have never seen someone make fun of a foreigner for their accent. It’s also quite rare for a foreigner to speak without accent.

Who split?

Is this an alternative to bitwarden and keepass? Is it better in terms of security?

For the mid Atlantic area there’s “hiking upward”, it’s pretty awesome.

That’s actually what I use as well currently. It doesn’t replace all trails completely but it’s something

I disagree that this is a concern. If you are already exaggerating about federation wars, chances are you already tried lemmy and know a good bit about selecting instances. The average user will not care as much as you do.

The average user will go to join-lemmy site, will not care at all about the different instances and likely choose the biggest one or first one they see. None of them will think “oh no this one is involved in federation wars” because thats not something you find out before knowing some about the fediverse.

Not exactly. I want this to be a place where many users post their different feeds, so I can browse through them and subscribe to the ones I like. RSS is a great candidate for this.

You would need to use lemmy to publish the feed, right?

This does not address the searchability issue, or the complexity and cost of self hosting. I want less friction for the user who is only focused on publishing and does not care much to own their infrastructure.

I alluded in my post to why a blog would not work, but I will describe more clearly here:

• if this is done via blog, the searchability issue is not addressed. I want it possible to search through all of these feeds
• This creates large friction. I want it to be possible for the user to publish a feed without the complexity of hosting

While I love the idea, many RSS users may not use Lemmy, and I would not want to restrict the use of this to lemmy users only. But for now, this seems to be the best existing option. Thank you!

My issue with Friendica is it consumes more resources, making it much more expensive to host, especially at scale.

I am a bit confused, and have a feeling you replied to the wrong comment somehow?

A unified fediverse search service would be awesome, and its something I may try to tackle in the future. Part of why I’m asking this question here!

If I’m in, let’s say, memes@lemmy.world, I’d like to also have my feed show content from memes@fedia.io, or lemm.ee, or whatever other threadiverse instances that my chosen instance is federating with.

When you say “feed” you mean your general news feed?

What if I only liked memes from memes@fedia.com, and other meme communities were too normie or boring for me? You’re going back to the issue with big tech social media, where they push on you what you didn’t sign up for, and you don’t necessarily like it!

I’m not against a recommendation engine, but it needs to be a lot more intentional from the user, and more transparent. I really dislike the “were just gonna push content you didn’t ask for here, but we think you’ll like it!”. No user choice, no transparency.

Btw, you should look into Quiblr. It’s a lemmy client that does sort of what you want. It has a built in recommendation engine, and it watches your engagement metrics to determine what you’ll like more of. The only thing it may not have is recommending you communities that aren’t visible to your instance (because no one on your instance follows it).

Yes, I was speaking about what would be ideal, and not what is possible today in the fediverse.

A search service could solve this issue.
