I agree. It's not a contest, we are in this together.

PSA: Bartender Mac App Under New Ownership, But Lack of Transparency Raises Concerns

I've been a paying user since 2015. This makes me sad, as it's one of my most beloved utilities and this isn't a good look. I'll keep running it without updating until it stops working or I find a replacement that I like. Also:

My first time attempting a photo likes this. I didn't quite get it as perfect as I wanted but I think it looks good enough to share.

The Sublinks team has written up a little survey, which we feel is both thorough and inclusive. It covers a wide range of topics, such as user privacy, and community engagement, along with trying to gauge things that are difficult when moderating.

Also please be aware the information collected by this survey is completely anonymous. As many of us in the social sciences background know, if you want the REAL feelings of individuals, they need to feel safe to express themselves.

👉Moderation Survey HERE👈

Please feel free to comment in this thread, we will do our best to respond to any genuine questions.

We look forward to hearing from each and every one of you!

Sincerely, The Sublinks Team

Hello,

I made a lot of adjustments to the infrastructure to Discuss.Online. Please let me know if you notice any strange behavior or federation issues.

Thanks a lot, jgrim

Hey everyone! Ill be starting to share updates on the frontend visuals here like I was doing with Pangora before it got merged into Sublinks

Starting off with some progress I've been making on the Home Page. Been taking things I enjoy from both alternate frontends such as Photon and Tesseract, as well as Misskey forks like Iceshrimp and Sharkey.

People who followed me as I was developing Pangora might recognize a lot of similar design decisions

Still in progress but ill try to share new progress at least every couple of days when I work on it with new additions

The left sidebar can be collapsed to show only icons for people who want a bit more space for post cards

Hovering over an option adds a popover saying what it is

In addition when you scroll down the navbar shrinks a bit to give you more space for post cards. On mobile the navbar hides completely when you scroll down and then shows again when you scroll up


The frontend is still heavily in progress so things may change a lot still before release as I refine it. If you've got suggestions feel free to give me them

ATTENTION: There is a known issue with the database cluster for discuss.online. It's a managed cluster by #DigitalOcean. They are working on resolving the issue. I'll update you once the issue is resolved.

You might see strange errors like the inability to log in or view specific posts.

Update 03/01/2024 @ 9:40 pm ET: The database has been migrated to a new server. Please, let us know if you experience any issues.

I remember when I was on Reddit I would check it several times a day. But with Lemmy there doesn't seem to be that much content popping up to justify that. I'm finding myself less addicted to the platform genre.

How often do you check Lemmy? What do you subscribe to that keeps you coming back?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Yes, almost all team members are contributing code, designs, feature requests, etc. I called out @[email protected] specifically because he's been a major contributor. One of the admins is actively recruiting people to help contribute to Sublinks, this is how we got so much support so quickly. It's a very close collaboration. I owe a lot of thanks to the Lemmy.World team.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

A new front-end is coming too. We need a new front-end to support all the new features we’re adding.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Yes, there is going to be a tool that exports from Lemmy via a direct database connection and adds to Sublinks via the API. Sublinks is heavily event driven by design. We'll want some events to trigger during import.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago
  1. I referenced the Rust code to determine what was sent and received. We're implementing better code logic; we're not just copying their API. We want to be compatible to attract users and support all the hard work used to create Lemmy phone apps.
  2. Java is for the core Sublinks API/core. Golang is being used for the federation service that operates independently. Once it's done, it will be platform agnostic if someone else wants to use the federation service for their fediverse project. They communicate through a message bus.
  3. Yes, we plan to do the new API correctly. We will support Lemmy's API for as long as it is relevant, primarily for mobile apps.

Multiple domains aren't possible yet, but that doesn't mean we cannot add it later.

I'm unhappy with the Lemmy roadmap, development speed, and quality. I wanted to contribute but found it difficult to. I did the next best thing and created a somewhat drop-in replacement with a much larger community of developers who are willing to support it.

You can see the complete Sublinks roadmap here: https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1. The first release of parity (v0.10) will use the existing Lemmy front-end. All releases after that will no longer support the Lemmy UI because that's when the enhanced features start to roll in. We don't want to support or fork the current Lemmy UI.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

The LW admins have helped contribute to Sublinks. They've given me full support and access to all resources to help grow it. They've been extremely helpful.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

We are creating a Sublinks specific API that is much more optimized than the Lemmy one. Our front-end will be using that. Also, we'll have tons more features that the Lemmy core doesn't support.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Thanks a lot! There are currently 13 contributors; it's coming together very quickly. I'm super excited.

A few Subreddits were planning to come over at the end of the month that didn't work out. Their members revolted and threatened to replace the mods. So they stayed over there. It would have been over 200k people if they all came over, even if not all members came. I thought I was under planning at the time.

I was reaching out to Reddit mods, trying to convenience them to join my instance. It almost worked, haha.

But in the end, I had to scale down while still maintaining something snappy. The DB is already over 15G, and I want to use a managed db. It's too large to put on smaller instances.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

As an admin of my own instance... We have a while...

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There’s a bunch of other instances. Like mine at discuss.online. Nothing new is needed.

Seems like you’re just suggesting everyone use beehaw with federated accounts.

What are you going to do with all your time now :)
