  • ActivityPods are being developed. From their website:

    What is the main shortcoming of ActivityPub ?

    ActivityPub wants to make it possible to create decentralized apps. But to post videos, you need an account on a PeerTube instance. And to post images, you need an account on a PixelFed instance. You must thus handle multiple accounts, with their profile, list of followers, etc.

    How does ActivityPods solve this shortcoming ?

    With ActivityPods, you have only one profile, one outbox, one inbox and one list of followers - all in a single place. Applications connect to your Pod to post activities, read the inbox and fetch data. And of course they can connect to any existing fediverse application !


  • I ain’t saying you’re wrong or your points are invalid, but bear in mind that Lemmy is a very young piece of software. It will evolve to cope with these kind of issues and if the lead devs don’t step up, then - as was seen in the near-recent CSAM attacks - the community will and develop it’s own set of tools/plug-ins.

    All social media type software goes through a kind of perpetual arms-race with bad actors and whilst it’s not impossible, it’s often very difficult to anticipate what method the next lot of bad actors will chose to attack the lemmyverse with.

    I asked for help in a self-hosting community. How could my desired location be misunderstood by anyone with an IQ above 10?

    This little side -journey has been a complete waste of time. All I wanted was a recommendation or two relevant to things I needed which I clearly explained in my post. Instead I got told I was making no sense and should use third party solutions which is a remarkable thing to read in a self hosting community where I would assume most people realise others want y’know to self host.

    If people don’t have relevant recommendations they could’ve just said that or even better, say nothing.

    Sorry, I don’t want to be rude but youre talking rubbish.

    Getting all of them to install a big offline application with an interface that is totally new to them and will require a substantial learning curve if there’s a possible solution that allows them to simply and easily do the only thing they need is ridiculous.
