If you looking for a degnerate alternative to WSB, consider signing up to wallstreetbets. Also if you can help with promotion/ modding/ content, could really use help. No theta gang.

I dont think reddit survive this and I sure as sheet dont think they'll allow subs like wsb to persist.

The end coming through with a bang.

Invidious is the most obvious. Its FOSS wrapper but it also lets you watch peertube and other federated content.

I saw the reply they had. Interesting point about "We don't use your API so we didn't agree to the TOS of your API. Also there is no 'we', since we don't host invictus; simply develop it as a product"

Jokes on them. I'm already on invidious.

I think the 'discovery' aspect of lemmy might have some issues. Its not particularly easy to get connected into the federation (it basically has to be done manually), as far as I can tell.

I think the fediverse will be better supported by niche interests like lemmygrad.ml, or like wallstreets.bet. Smaller fiefdoms that focus pretty narrowly on niche interests, but that can be interesting to other groups in the fediverse. More 'tribal' and less monolithic than reddit. We've also already see how problematic that monolithic tendency of web-3.0 can be (centralized control via reddit; crashing of lemmy.ml).

SO I think if you are super into gardening, you should find a gardening lemmy for your home base, and federate out from there. I just wish cross-federation community discover was easier.

I'm not sure. Try searching for ![email protected].

I'm still learning the whole federation thing.

Yep. Thats my mental model as well. Its too much risk for me to naked short, but I will def buy puts when its time.

I think this instance is set up to not allow new communities unless admin.

defederated

I'm not sure I understand what defederated means in this context. Can you explain it?

So if I can see new content, can post content, but can't comment on content, what does that mean?

I guess I'm trying to figure out if this is a bug, a configuration issue, or a federation issue.

Ideally, my lemmy instance behaves like it should, which under my understanding is that people can check out other lemmies, post/ comment but they look like the coming from wsb, etc..

Yeah that would be better behavior. Or maybe the comments should go through but only on the side that still wants to be federated (considering a copy is made on both instances).

This federated infighting prob hurting new instance growth more than anything. I also don't like the tendency towards monoliths, which is what made reddit an issue to begin with.

It was actually a test post to see if the instance was up. I'm still working to get the lemmy set up.
