I don’t think it does, Mastodon is a microblogging platform, not a link aggregator. “Threadiverse” specifically means “the link aggregator part of the Fediverse”, because most Fediverse projects are microblogs.

Yeah it’s Lemmy + Kbin. I’m not aware of any other federated link aggregators (read as Reddit clones), but if there are they would also fit.

Sometimes it happens, yeah. Takes a while or multiple clicks to load. I built that site as a one afternoon project, it’s far from perfect.

Another thing you can do is going straight from the URL. For your instance that would be https://defed.xyz/check/lemmy.ca

I get the vibe some instances just don’t want to share that information

Oh yeah, big time.
When I posted it to the lemmy admin chatroom, some admins who shall remain nameless commented saying it “gave bad vibes” and that wanting to know such information felt “toxic and gross”. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, of course, but considering the data is already available under the /instances page… well it’s just weird that anyone would have a problem with wanting to make it more accessible.

PSA: you can use https://defed.xyz to check which instances have blocked an instance (only works with Lemmy ones).

I’m sorry but if the West / the USA aren’t world powers in your book, then who is?

Holy cow that is beyond impressive. Sure enough, sometimes it does hallucinate a bit, but it’s already quite wild. Can’t help but wonder where we’ll be in the next 5-10 years.

Wow ok. Well that was just one man’s opinion, if you have numbers on who is fine with that kind of access and who isn’t then by all means keep going with your schedule. Maybe I’m just too cautious and my perspective is skewed because of that.

I understand. If it was up to me I would consider the permission settings a priority, as agreeing to all of that can be a pretty big deal for some people (I know it is for me). Some users may be willing to go all the way, but many might be gelous or scared of losing their Reddit accounts or even giving access to them to what, in their eyes, would be a complete stranger.

Anyway, as I said, the idea itself is cool. Hopefully your project can be a gateway to the Fediverse for many Redditors, as the enshittification goes on.

While I admire the initiative of bringing Reddit users to Lemmy, you are asking for way too many permissions, my dude.

submit links and comments from my account

read my DMs and send DMs from my account

keep these permissions indefinitely

I wanted to check out your project, but there is no way in hell I am agreeing to that lol. Chances are you don’t even need all of those. Also, I see that apparently Fediverser is open source. You might want to point that out on the portal.alien.top site, as that might make people more keen on trusting you with their Reddit accounts

Huh interesting point. I suppose my view of it was closer to “Should I eat X? Probably not, NutriScore says it’s bad” and that’s where my disagreement came from. Your logic actually gives it much more sense.

Wonder how many people drew the same conclusions as me when looking at it for the first time. First psichological impact is important.

English because even though I can understand the post, my French is not nearly good enough to articulate this point

I’m Italian, as you might now we are the only big EU country to have opposed Nutri-Score thus far.

This summer I spent my holidays in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and while shopping there I got the chance of interacting firsthand with the score, as someone not used to it.
In many occasions looking at the score and then at the ingredient list made very little sense, in particular some decently healthy food was often marked with harsh scores for reasons I couldn’t quite understand. An example of this I remember quite well was a bottle of fruit juice that had a score of D. Sure, it probably has lots of sugar, but it also contained decent quantities of fruits. I thought that was supposed to be a good thing.

I don’t think this score is the way to go, honestly. I’m a big fan of the work the EU is doing in terms of food safety but this just isn’t the right way to go in my opinion. The indicator is way too simplistic and while the algorithm behind it is pretty clear, sometimes you end up with weird results that to me make very little sense.

Southern neighbours here, we’ve been doing a simlar thing for the last 15 years (same number of men too: 7000) and the result have been pretty great thus far. As expensive as this is going to be I think Macron made the right call.

Yeah I don’t think it’s very common elsewhere. Right over the border with France they were already saying “200 grams de jambon”.

But I think it’s convenient. Small number make brain hurt less, brain no need to think.

In Italy we use hectograms (“ettogrammi”, “etti” for short) in day to day life when buying groceries. You don’t ask for 200 grams of ham, you just ask for 2 etti.

Oof. Yeah maybe. I did play Skyrim on release, on a bloody PS3 no less. Pure pain.

Hopefully it doesn’t take them that long.

It might be, although I’ve read of some freezes happening even on the fastest SSD in the world so… idk, I think they might have fucked up somewhere. I also suspect there might be some memory leaks, although this comes solely from my experience, I have no data to show.

Tom’s Hardware article on the freezes

Yes, all very cool, but when are they going to fix the actual issues? Like, I don’t know, the constant freezes?

I’m loving this game so far, I’m playing it every night, but it feels like a constant test of my patience.

Oh thanks for that. Looking at the plugin’s wordpress page I ended up on a wordpress SVN page and thought I had to browse that. My allergy is already much better, I might have a look after all.

You are right. I don’t mind the upvotes being public, I do mind the deletion thing (although it’s an inherent flaw of federation, hard to get around it) but both are points against it having good privacy.

I guess what I meant is that the platform makes no attempt at linking your online persona to anything else. It doesn’t even collect IP adresses and has very poor logging - btw this is actually a liability with the ongoing CSAM issue.
