Tatsächlich benutzen wir Bountysource nicht, weil es keine nachhaltige Möglichkeit ist, die Entwicklung zu finanzieren (wir können nicht nur an neuen Features arbeiten). Wir sind gerade dabei, den Account dort zu deaktivieren, um weitere Verwirrung zu vermeiden.

Ja, im Prinzip ist es auch schon benutzbar, mit einigen Einschränkungen (vor allem keine Mod-Werkzeuge).

Its already supported, but the migration from local disk to s3 isnt working currently.

Interessanter Vortrag, danke dafür. Ich persönlich denke allerdings, dass das Thema Finanzierung im Fediverse deutlich weniger wichtig ist, als du es darstellst. Zumindest mit Lemmy kann eine einzelne Person eine Instanz für weniger als 10€ pro Monat in VPS-Kosten bezahlen, und diese Instanz kann von hunderten oder tausenden benutzt werden. Das ist nicht viel Geld für ein Hobby, und Spenden sind nicht wirklich nötig, wenn man Spaß daran hat.

Ich denke das viel größere Problem ist, dass das Fediverse immer noch zu unbekannt ist, oder nicht als realistische Alternative gesehen wird. In der Hinsicht ist es eine sehr gute Idee, Vereine und andere Organisationen ins Fediverse einzuführen.

This can probably be unstickied now.

Gute Idee, hab den user-agent eben hinzugefügt.

Cool! Ich hab übrigens die letzten Tage ein paar Verbesserungen am crawler gemacht, kannst du dir mal anschauen, und mir sagen was du davon hältst. Oder auch falls du irgendwelche bugs oder feature requests hast.

Wow i had no idea. Looks like it could easily take a day to install with all those steps.

Its really lightweight, 150 mb ram and quite low cpu usage with default docker install.

No coding necessary at all.

Something like that would definitely be an instance we would host, so do apply if you would like to run it. Though the instance would probably have to exclude politics, otherwise it will get too controversial.

This is not the right place to post this, you should use !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml. About your question, the frontend source code is here (in Typescript).

Advertising isnt commonly used on the Fediverse, most instances are financed by donations, and that seems to work quite well. Its possible for adminsto put an advertising link/image in the sidebar, or to sticky an advertising post to the top of a community.

Here you can find donation options

Many small Lemmy instances have already disappeared over time. You are free to archive existing instances, so that doesnt happen again. But in general, things disappear from the internet over time, whether you like it or not. Not even archive.org can prevent that.

That is actually a very good point, i never thought about it in that way. The main question about this is probably how it should work from a UX perspective. One way would be to have a mod action which changes the subscription of all users to the new community. But there would be a risk that a hacker could target mod accounts, to redirect users to his own community/instance for malicious purposes. We could send a notification to users to inform them about the change. And the old community might have to be locked or deleted (permanently or reversible?)

The time limit of one year is exactly because we dont want to host these instances forever, and centralize the project in that way. If the instances become popular and get many users, surely there will be someone willing to host them. If they are small and no one wants to host them, the content cant be that important. Besides, content will be mirrored on federated instances.

If you would like to improve the documentation, that would be very welcome, repo is here. However, i dont think its the right place to call for boycotts, or other political stuff like that.

Not in an automated way. You would have to tell them to subscribe to the new community, and unsubscribe from the old one.

The icon is called “fedilink” in the code, but you might be the first to use that word outside of code.

You can also read the announcement on join-lemmy.org. This is especially good for sharing with other people.
