Yeah I agree, it would be nice to be able to search “baking” and get all the instances that have a !baking@… community.

Early days, it’ll be interesting to see what the 3rd party app developers come out with.

I’ve noticed it with connect but they are there with Jebora. I’ve also noticed it’s hard to search for communities. But I think that may be a Lemmy issue.

I am, and I’ve noticed one welcomed effect it has had in me.

I’ll admit I had an unhealthy phone habit of mindlessly scrolling and Reddit nurtured this.

As much as I’m excited about Lemmy - the barriers I’m finding of finding content that appeases my desire to scroll has greatly reduced my phone usage. Smaller user base, inability (for me anyway) to find communities and content through the search etc.

Lemmy is just good enough for me not to go back to Reddit, but not matured enough to replace the addition.

Some serious rose tinted glasses looking back on history there! At what point in time are you thinking about? For most of history I’d have had fealty to some land owner. I’d say we have more freedom and opertunity to experience the world now than before.

You can still explore the planet for yourself, just because something has been experienced by someone before you shouldn’t take too much away from your joy if experiencing it.

Even if we were able to live in complete harmony with the planet and not exhaust our resources we’d undoubtedly go extinct for one reason or another. I’m not necessarily talking about resources.

But yeah, what you’ve described is how we’re existing at present anyway.

I disagree with this, I mean you can donate to the creator of Lemmy using crypto if you wanted.

It’s cool though, it appears that this is a really unwelcome suggestion here 😅

Yeah you’re taking sense. Although in the situation of the population dropping drastically to a core survivor population, you might find there to be less of a limit on resources.

Because ultimately if we don’t leave this rock we go extinct. Guaranteed.

That mean that user AND server administrator will control user wallet.

Well, if this were the case I guess it’s not a great idea at all!

I’m no authority on this subject. It’s just the first instance of federation I read about before Limmey etc.

I believe there would be some integration from Limmey, to generate the keypair along with the user account. It could be up to 3rd party apps if they if they wanted to utilise this and allow for account management from the app. Or none at all and Lemmy could just allow for exporting your private key to use elsewhere.

As for why, I guess you don’t have a great rationale. It just seems like a progression to me. If people are communicating with each other in this manner, why not allow for payment. A person could always share a public key, PayPal or bank details if they wished. This way would just be undoubtedly linked to the person you were considering paying.

That’s fair. Although I think it could be implemented without effecting your Lemmy experience. It would just allow people to send payment to a person’s federated account. Collecting or transfering this payment could be done “off-app” through conventional wallet apps.

I disagree, if you’ve looked at all the advances in technology made over the last 1,2,300 years. If there was to be a great extinction event with some survivors - they’d bounce back relatively quickly.

It would just be a means of sending/recieving payments from your account.

Maybe I’ve consumed too much sci-fi over the years. I’ve always thought the primary goal should be that of making this species a space fairing one. Secondary, they to extend the life of this planet as much as possible. It will die one day, that’s unavoidable.

At the present, it looks like neither are being achieved. It’s all just going to collapse on itself. Maybe the human population 2.0 can resurface and try again after the planet kills almost everyone.

I feel sorry for the younger generation and my peers with children.

Once you subscribe, your local instance will start copying stuff from the other instance to its local database.

I’ll be interested to learn more about all this, in particular how all these instances will scale up as the user base grows.

Thanks for that.

Such a coincidence, I just found that instances page and was trying to search for rust@programming.dev in the search! I head you had to search for the community from your instance and subscribe from there.

Thats interesting that ALL insrances are automatically federated.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve gone and submitted a request to join.

Quick, unrelated question if anyone is willing to answer:

Can we “subscribe” to another instances community if lemmy.sdf.org hasn’t federated to it? I think so, but I’m not even finding it easy to search for other communities. I’m looking at programming.dev in particular.

The 3rd party app developers might just do that. Boost for Reddit is making Boost for Lemmy now.

Amazing news, boost was my preferred Reddit app and I’ve requested it to download as soon as it’s available (that’s not an option I’ve seen before).

This is my first Lemmy post, how exciting.
