Reddit is removing custom emojis
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Lemmy has custom emojis iirc.
Piefed are working on flairs, let's hope the Lemmy devs follow suit!
If Piefed keeps going the way they are going, we might all end up switching over in a year or 2. Lemmy is fine, and very stable and functioning, and just a reliable system, but Piefed seems willing to go above and beyond.
People smarter than me will need to weigh in on the scalability of Python vs Rust, but if that's not a concern then that may be what happens.
Probably requires something like Lemmy.World doing a migration, though. Lemmy as a software still has the highest pull by way of being the the predominant one. That's just how people work.
Also Piefed needs more apps. The huge variety of Lemmy apps is a massive draw at the moment.
Also Piefed needs more apps.
What they can (should) do is support lemmy's api, so you can use lemmy apps with it.
The language something is written in usually doesn't matter much, database stuff and i/o are the main performance bottleneck. Instagram and threads serve a massive amount of people and they're written in python.
It'll happen when instance owners decide to do so. But I don't see it happening right now. But I get the feel that most would like to get away from the lemmy devs long term. But for now they all seem to favour lemmy, so it is for them to decide when its ready.
what's the appeal? I've run into no reasons to switch, and I don't even use any apps.
As someone who doesn't use apps: its almost entirely prerendered, so its much faster and doesn't require Javascript.
Its development is also really fast.
- multicommunities
- all comments of crossposts in a single view
- actual instance blocking
Custom emojis are already a thing on the Fediverse, so maybe Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed will add support for them. I know that NodeBB already supports custom emojis and it can talk with Lemmy pretty well
That would be awesome
It's shit
Lemmy is not bad, but the great hope is the resurrection of Digg
The trick will be to keep the incels and RWNJs at bay
There are already a number of nazi apologists among the early adopters, waiting for it to go live
It's a shame that the techy types have so many horrible people in their number
I’m following the Digg reboot out of curiosity but I have no hope for it. Ignoring the fact that it’s another company that will eventually enshitify, the insiders forum is full of A.I./crypto bros (and nazi apologists like you mentioned). It seems like it’ll be Twitter/X but in news aggregator format
I'm just looking for a place to find people who appreciate my performance art
I had quite the following on the platform we shall not name before the weird shit happened
