Mid 50s, first went online on a 70s BBS, JANET user in the 80s.

Good question, I was thinking about this the other day. The reason being that development of several fediverse apps has seemingly stalled because the previously active developers have life issues. (I’m not moaning about it, just a straightforward account)

It seems to me that FOSS developers wouldn’t want their projects to be popular. Because that comes with pressure to constantly improve or expand and it takes up more time. So they start a Patreon or similar but that adds more pressure.

When projects are community developed then I see disagreements and personality clashes which increases stress for lead developers.

It is odd that community bans don’t come with any communication.

I think the other thing to remember is that in different English speaking countries the word as a verb causes a different level of offence.

In British English it’s not offensive at all to say someone was b***ing about something.

In not exactly sure what you mean by inside an instance. But your post is

https://lemmy.ml/post/8102580

Which someone not on Lemmy could use.

Your client probably has a share or copy link option for a post.

Hang on, you’ll switch discuss.online to this sublinks.org ? What if I don’t want to?

It’s just that I’ve had to create new accounts before (because of incompatibility) and recreate subscriptions, loose post history etc. Also because of instances not being maintained.

I just thought discuss.online was different and a more stable place to be. If you do migrate discuss.online will we still be able access and contribute to our subscribed Lemmy communities?

Let me just check I’ve got this right.

Sub links is an enhanced version of Lemmy with some extra features. It works with normal Lemmy Clients. We’ll still be able to access our existing Lemmy communities but if our account is on a sublink instance then we’ll be able to take advantage of the enhancements in sublink communities.

We won’t need to migrate anything across manually, just log out and log in.

I hope notifications will be supported from the outset.
