Here's an idea to make Lemmy even better: true account portability.

Right now, your Lemmy account and all your content are tied to one server. Moving instances or having one shut down means losing your digital presence. Frankly, the server controls your online identity.

But what if you controlled your identity?

I've opened a discussion on the Lemmy dev GitHub about integrating Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). Think of a DID as a permanent, global ID you own, independent of any server.

Why DIDs are a game-changer for Lemmy:

• Real Account Portability: Move your entire account – posts, comments, followers – to any new instance seamlessly. Your identity travels with you.
• More User Control: Your online presence becomes resilient, managed by an ID you control, not governed by a single server's policies.
• Proven Tech: It works. Protocols like ATProto (Bluesky) successfully use DIDs for portable user identities.
• Full Fediverse Compatibility: We can add DIDs to Lemmy while staying fully interoperable with Mastodon, Kbin, and all other ActivityPub platforms. No breaking changes, just a powerful upgrade.

This is a big step towards a more decentralized and user-controlled fediverse. If you're interested in more control over your digital self, check out the discussion:

If you're on other ActivityPub platforms, consider pushing for similar solutions! The more platforms that adopt truly portable identity, the stronger the fediverse becomes.

I don't think such a comment should be removed.

Lookin for something to keep me up to date on the fediverse into my podcast queue.

Both saves are on mc 1.20.1 and not all the mods line up but im happy to manually fix the things that are broken. And lose things from mods not in my new modpack.

Currently it complains about corrupted save file.

Since a majority of what i actually want to transfer is located within a small area i have considered making a schematic and using world edit to drop it in woukd this work?

I assume most if not all items will be lost in this proccess but im not sure if perhaps i could export/transfer things via ME?

Any help would greatly be appreciated

EDIT: I did it all i had to do was create a new world in the new mc instance then manually copy over world and player files and it just worked.

I need windows 11 for some applications that im required to use have been running linux for a few years now and been running said apps in a vm.

But as of soonish said apps and windows will be dropping win10 support so i need to upgrade.

I want to build the minimal install remove all bloat usless apps crap etc etc. What tools do i need to do this? What windows build should i use(for my win10 i used an enterprise build)?

Hey guys ive been self hosting things for a while now mostly just off a bunch if old computers in a k8s cluster.

The majour issue i have currently is all my data is on a single hdd in an old dektop. Its painfully slow and very risky as i have no backup or anything (i dont feel to great about that).

I really dont have much $ to spend hence my setup is built from a stack of practically ewaste hobbled together. I finally have the $ to buy some drives how should i go about building myself a nas on the cheap?

Would be great to have a better style of comment section

But why be vegan? For what purpose? I dont get it please explain?

Ive seen that pixelfed and peertube have the ability to add a licence to content. I think this would be great for everyone so we can get ahead of threads and have collective bargaining power when they inevitable put our content between ads.

Heres the pixelfed duscyssion on the issue: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/13 Here is mastadons discussion: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20079

Im not sure if lemmy has a discussion yet i may create one later if one doesnt already exist.

Title says it all

Is there a way to set it up so [email protected] can be a lemmy account and also a mastadon account? I seen people using subdomains like [email protected] and [email protected] is this nessasary? Could u also set up a matrix account with the same [email protected]? If not what woukd be requured to change to make this possible?

I'm having trouble with drowned not spawning from a spawner I suspect due to y level requirements. I had a look online but couldnt find any blockdata about spawning requirements. Is it possible? If not is there a fabric 1.20.1 mod that will let me do the same thing?

Btw if anyone has any suggestions to help the lag as im starting to notice its slowing down and the bigger it gets the more I fear it will get worse.

I have An equation in the equation tools and when i insert it the brackets seem to disappear.

The issue seems to be with using Firefox as it renders correctly on chromium. My current research of the problem says it could potential be an issue with the Firefox MathML implementation but I'm not sure exactly how to test that let alone fix it. Is this an issue i should raise with Firefox or am i being dumb and missing an obvious fix?

If i switch search sort order from relevant to activity in the community search tab i cant switch it back to relevant.
