No, you’ve completely missed what I said

I didn’t make a comment against lemmy.world, it was a comment against lemmy the application’s current data model for users

I’m beginning to see that in order for lemmy to be truly federated, users must also become federated

It’s much more normal for a person to have many more subs attached to a single account than it is to have many accounts

E.g. you might have say 3 accounts, but one of those accounts might have 100 subs, relatively speaking the numbers aren’t comparable

That’s all well and good, but a user can be subscribed to many subs

This is a real shame, and highlights to me that the federation model might be wrong. If I want to access these subs now, I have to create a new account and I wish I didn't have to. I wonder if the federated part should be user federation rather than instance federation?

something something blockchain?

I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but you’re describing cyclical groups

How do I as a developer:

  • contribute towards lemmy?
  • contribute toward the success of lemmy.world?

I’m an SRE by trade and would be happy to contribute my time in some way

Imagine if the public transport system wasn’t rubbish and your girlfriend could travel in the same 30 minutes?

Public transport isn’t the problem, it’s the solution

I’m interested to know why more people aren’t recommending kopia, it seemed like the obvious choice when I evaluated them but perhaps I was just wrong?

Why is that?

I’m not super familiar with torrenting protocols, but would have naively assumed that the very fact that subs have a single source of truth (e.g. [email protected] is hosted on lemmy.world in its entirety, and then only cached on other lemmy instances) would be enough?

I guess we’d need to federate the sub list, we wouldn’t want a central source of truth for that, but that bit isn’t any different to what we have currently AFAIK

Are you keeping the kernel updated? I’ve got a helios64 too but I’m stuck on kernel 5.10
