lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month. The admin team is understaffed and burnout.

My 2c: we need progressive moderation with community driven administration and smaller instance to scale.
Ok, I still have to understand exactly how Lemmy works, but in less then a hour of random surfing I found so many interesting discussions and information! π€―
How do you use it yourself? What community/instance did you join (or plan on joining) and why?
π Boost for research purposes appreciated. Grazie!

Federated link-aggregator for atproto (bluesky's protocol)

I'm officially on #Lemmy now, instead of jus' lurkin'.
Joined a bunch of communities about: #music, #MusicCreation, #MusicProduction, #MusicTheory, #guitar, #synths, #chiptunes, #VGM, #HardcorePunk, #HeavyMetal

Tbh I think the #Threadiverse like #Lemmy and #kbin would make a lot more sense if they were simply frontends and perhaps a backend too but just for the forums themselves. IOW, no accounts live in Lemmy or kbin, all users post from their preferred #fediverse account instead.
Sure you can already technically do that from your #Mastodon or #Misskey or whatever fedi you're in, but that means using whatever app you're on right now, which almost certainly means it's not a #linkaggregator UI. Not ideal at all.
If I had any good programming skills I'd make it so that the link aggregator is merely a client that uses the Mastodon (with #Pleroma extensions too) and Misskey APIs, treat (almost) all #ActivityPub actors as their own forums or subs, and each post would be a boost from said actor. Users authenticate from their preferred fedi account. Voting would be tallied by few special actors, which internally receive votes via direct messages (the app will make this transparent, but this also means you can technically vote without the app if you know the exact command), which will effectively make votes secret to non-admins like in #Reddit. Users can also choose which vote counters they want to rely from.
This would make the fediverse-powered link aggregator very flexible and minimal, imo. It may look janky but that's the general idea I have. β:seija_coffee:β

@LemmyDev@mastodon.social That #vulnerability was zero-day and immediately exploited leading to at least three very large instances I know of getting unscheduled downtime for a long amount of time, and it took a full 24 hours IIRC for those #Lemmy instances to get their frontends all properly patched up with a release. A #security disaster all preventable if you had just took the #CSP issue that has been there before the exploit a bit more seriously... β:reimu_sigh:β
Compare that with #Sharkey's JSON vulnerability which was already mitigated and fixed in no time.
Funnily enough #kbin had a similar #XSS problem too one month before yours. But it didn't lead to that disaster your carelessness in security caused because kbin had a line of defense that didn't break down which is the safe link handling in their #Markdown parser.
You had three chances and you spectacularly failed in all of them! For some elementary security issue every #linkaggregator / #socialmedia dev should know of when dealing with untrusted Markdown input! β:koishtare:β
Now if you could kindly piss off with that poor reply that didn't really address anything in my thread, you fucking #tankies. β:seija_coffee:β

This is a really neato service @taco@mstdn.tacowolf.net is offering! If y'all remember me talking abt LinkStack before I mentioned there are public instances if you don't care to self-host it, and this one's furry specific! β:drgn_owo_mlem:β

For those of you looking for a good alternative to #Reddit, I think a great #OpenSource alternative is #Lemmy. Check it out.

LOL. RegEx filter in Lemmy that is used to remove slurs from any posts and comments.

Found a Bitcoin community on an open-source, federated link aggregator similar to Reddit.
Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News but it's open source, it's federated with the Fediverse, and zero lock in:
