Only if we could know how much to save for tomorrow.

In my opinion this runs counter to the idea of federation; i wouldn’t use it.

You probably do intend to keep it running for ever, but if you can’t for whatever reason, all links created using this service become dead links. If this were client-side, maybe. But this needs a server to be running at lemmyverse.link and/or threadiverse.link. Imagine someone else gets hold of those domains. They can snoop every use.

I have multiple accounts and might want to choose based on what I’m researching. If it were on a client, it should be a widget, but this doesn’t allow me to switch that so easily.

I think the solution should be for all Lemmy clients to detect links when possible and open them up in-app and/or have browser plugins that can redirect requests on the user’s machine. These won’t cover all the cases that your service can, but i would still prefer that over all Lemmy links being resolved by a centralized service that can read your cookies.

I just discovered wefwef and I just want to say thank you. It’s amazing. And it’s incredible how you’re single-handedly improving it so quickly as well. My muscle memory from years of using Apollo isn’t going to go to waste after all!

How would you prefer accept bug reports and suggestions? There are some minor issues that I’ve noticed. For example, when replying to a large comment/post (like this one by you) the space for typing gets congested and if I try to scroll up my own comment, the whole dialog attempts to close. My workaround is to drag the cursor instead.

Half and half.

Also, growth is exponential.

It’s when it reaches a plateau aka once the dust settles, how much people remain engaged that matter.

Tomatoes were only introduced to Italy in the 1500s (from the Americas) so i highly doubt they had tomatoes in Pompeii at that time. :)

The rust instance can federate with others so users can use the same account everywhere. The OP has an account on programmy.dev, you have one on lemmyrs.org, and I have mine on lemmy.world and yet we are all having a conversation on this thread without issues.

Owning the instance gives admin permissions to whomever is running the server but also the headache of maintaining uptime. If we move this community to programming.dev, the rust community would be “tenants” on a common instance. This option would be a no-brainer for smaller language communities (where my brainfuck enthusiasts at?), but if rust community decides to completely move to Lemmy, it might make sense to have a separate instance.

In terms of raw scaling for Lemmy and pure efficiency, AFAIK, fewer large instances is better than lots of smaller instances that federate with each other.

But the question is less about efficiency and more about trust. I’d rather have this community on programming.dev (first choice) or lemmyrs.org (equally great except for the fragmentation) depending on which admin the community is more comfortable with.

This is /c/aviationdadjokes material.

Yeah, it bugs me too. Even the /c/mlemapp link in the settings of the app opens up in an in-app browser. That said, I’m really grateful for the free work the devs are doing for the community. It’s still early days. I’ll see if i can contribute via code.

I love(d?) that subreddit. Relatively good quality discussions compared to most of other programming subs on reddit.

Do you know if communities can choose their own custom CSS?

We’re gate-keeping the most mainstream programming language now? Next you’ll say English isn’t a real language because it doesn’t have a native verb tense to express hearsay.

And that’s how it is in most of the world. It’s possible. 😛

Yeah. The longer we wait to make this decision as a community, more the cost of merging and the load on lemmy.ml.

Prease conform and accept your fate

AFAIK, you can’t access Mastodon content from Lemmy.

Mastodon can access Lemmy content but the experience is subpar because it doesn’t have the concept of threads about a topic/post like we have here. Mastodon is like Twitter—if you have used it. This conversation we’re having will show up as a thread without other context if you subscribe to this forum in Mastodon.

If you want to really try Mastodon, I’d suggest creating an account from https://joinmastodon.org and accessing it using a dedicated app. I use the Ice Cubes app.

I’m not a fan of introducing yet another “type of class”.

In my humble opinion, if we do introduce rust-like match it should work on top of the existing concepts of dataclass, namedtuples, and union-types to avoid confusion on when to use which mechanism.

Also, type hints aren’t compulsory, but they are so damn useful that I’d be okay if some features only worked when the original variables had type hints.
