this looks like the same issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744

I’m not sure, you should definitely report that as a bug on the GitHub though

I think it was fixed in 0.18.5 yea, I guess there could be some system to trust other moderators from other instances but then it’s basically the same as it is now lol, where trusting==appointing moderators, really the same thing

defederation is an admin action not a moderator action, and there are much fewer admins than there are moderators, so the workload would be a concern

Doesn’t your suggestion mean that a user from a small instance or their own instance can make a bunch of garbage posts (or even illegal posts) and then a moderator from every single other instance will have to delete their posts separately? That’s a ton of repeated work, and really opens up Lemmy to abuse.

Currently, communities are created and hosted on a single instance, and are moderated by moderators on that instance.

You can be a moderator of communities on different instances, my account here on programming.dev is a moderator of communities on other instances such as lemmy.ml

yea tlnet is perfect, thank you! subscribed

TL.net would be great for esports news https://tl.net/rss/news.xml

if tl is too short for a community name, maybe tl_net or teamliquid_net or something like that

it will be a good source to cross-post from (I wish Lemmy users used cross-posting more)

yea idk, it’s maybe like a fun bonus sometimes, but it’s kinda like trying to put the square peg into the circle hole (where it doesn’t fit, unlike the famous meme video lol)

Unpopular opinion: IDK why people want perfect interop so much, I have a Mastodon account and a Lemmy account, big deal. We’ve got bigger fish to fry than this. The formats are different enough that you’re better off having separate accounts for microblogging and threadiverse.

Interop for similar platforms is a great feature, but for dissimilar platforms I don’t think it’s actually necessary just a novelty. Also I think people try to push this on new users as some big, useful, important feature, but I think it only confuses the new users.

Also I noticed most of the time when people complain about ActivityPub interop issues, it almost always ends up being Mastodon’s fault lol. Probably because they were early to the party and didn’t have to worry about interop and standards much back then. At least I hope it isn’t malicious lol.

I think probably the biggest holdup for 0.19.6 right now looks like https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4983

I subscribed to the issue so I can see its progress

That’s a cool idea. There have been somewhat related discussions, but I can’t find any exactly like that. Maybe you should file an issue on GitHub for them?

I haven’t used Jerboa in a while, but I know Boost supports almost all of the search features

something on your end? my top result is from lemmy.world

maybe try opening the link in Private Mode or Incognito

There’s no objection here https://www.google.com/search?q=Lemmy+wouldn’t+really+takeoff+to+replace+Reddit+until+it’s+content+is+search+indexable

An example fix from over a year ago https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418

Like, not being able to search for specific issues, people, or any other topic already posted even within your own instance is my biggest issue with Lemmy not being a sufficient replacement.

The search page does allow all of this.

/search

You can filter by type (post, user, community, etc), Local/All/Subscribed, searching within a community, choosing a sort option or restricting to past year/month/week… I think it’s much better than Reddit’s search.

I don’t think this is true, Lemmy is already using rel="canonical" which should be telling Google what the real URL is, like here on programming.dev I see this in the page source

<link data-inferno-helmet="true" rel="canonical" href="https://lemmy.world/post/19493729">

which is why the Google results for this search don’t show a million different instances mirroring it

Here was the discussion about it where it was fixed last year https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418

but Lemmy already does show up on Google results

https://www.google.com/search?q=Lemmy+wouldn't+really+takeoff+to+replace+Reddit+until+it's+content+is+search+indexable

I really like the feature for All/Local/Subscribed, but maybe it’s a temporary solution until we get some better method to group communities and post to a group of communities instead of posting to communities individually

This is not limited to just Lemmy but any federated systems.

Not just federated systems, things like the Wayback Machine exist too, web crawlers, people can save websites too (every web browser has a save option), or you can self host an archiving crawler if you want to backup a certain website, data hoarders exist.
