A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

we can still easily fall into this trap if there isn't a good way to migrate communities between instances. And even if we could just take /c/[email protected] and move the whole thing to /c/[email protected] or something, that would still break all the indexers' links
What we really need is some sort of torrent-like system for this content with something equivalent to magnet links.
Sounds like you're describing ipfs :D

IPFS is for static content. For dynamic content, like reddit/lemmy, you'd want to build it on something like Locutus/Freenet 2023.
I love the idea of IPFS, but every time I've tried to use it, it has always been very slow.
amusingly another chicken egg problem. More chickens, faster the eggs. Wait that metaphor works!
