Any news?

Is there any news on Sublinks?

The first record I chose was Ma Na Ma Na by the Muppets. The first record bought with my own money was Never for Ever by Kate Bush

Also, old.

Yes, my point is that an App or apps should be part of the design from the outset (see Pixelfed) Good planning rather than chance and potentially messing / confusing people.

That was my reason for asking about sublinks apps.

I know that devs like web interfaces but the truth is you need apps if anything social is going to become established.

It’s a sad fact in the fediverse that routinely apps or even front end GUI aren’t compatible. There’s only so many times this can happen (or instances shut down or not be maintained) before it all becomes a bit much.

So I think relying on Lemmy apps is a mistake.

I’m confused now, the post above says that there will be initial compatibility but after that (presumably as sublinks evolves) Lemmy apps will have to display as best they can.

Are there any apps being developed for Sublinks?

As I understand it, Lemmy doesn’t support notifications through the api and the devs are resistant So apps have to take one of two routes either constantly polling individual servers or installing a service on the phone (which causes battery issues on Android or to get shut down on iOS)

I hope notifications will be supported from the outset.

Thank you

Let me just check I’ve got this right.

Sub links is an enhanced version of Lemmy with some extra features. It works with normal Lemmy Clients. We’ll still be able to access our existing Lemmy communities but if our account is on a sublink instance then we’ll be able to take advantage of the enhancements in sublink communities.

We won’t need to migrate anything across manually, just log out and log in.

It’s just that I’ve had to create new accounts before (because of incompatibility) and recreate subscriptions, loose post history etc. Also because of instances not being maintained.

I just thought discuss.online was different and a more stable place to be. If you do migrate discuss.online will we still be able access and contribute to our subscribed Lemmy communities?

Hang on, you’ll switch discuss.online to this sublinks.org ? What if I don’t want to?

Interesting links to Three Body Problem there.

In not exactly sure what you mean by inside an instance. But your post is

https://lemmy.ml/post/8102580

Which someone not on Lemmy could use.

Your client probably has a share or copy link option for a post.

I think the other thing to remember is that in different English speaking countries the word as a verb causes a different level of offence.

In British English it’s not offensive at all to say someone was b***ing about something.

It is odd that community bans don’t come with any communication.

Good question, I was thinking about this the other day. The reason being that development of several fediverse apps has seemingly stalled because the previously active developers have life issues. (I’m not moaning about it, just a straightforward account)

It seems to me that FOSS developers wouldn’t want their projects to be popular. Because that comes with pressure to constantly improve or expand and it takes up more time. So they start a Patreon or similar but that adds more pressure.

When projects are community developed then I see disagreements and personality clashes which increases stress for lead developers.
