Yeah, it would be nice if Mastodon eventually handled rendering group threads a little better and meet something like Lemmy part way. I can imagine that different kinds of services using activitypub will end up looking strange through each others’ lenses, but there could be some interesting crossovers
(Also I kinda forgot that my post from a mastodon instance would show up like a top-level post over here 😅)
I’ve never used Jerboa, but yeah you probably need permission from the site owner to create a community. There’s a “Create Community” link in the header of my instance, looks like this:
👋 Hello from yet another server!
Joke’s on me, I can’t read!
I’d say if you want a community, create it. Better yet, start your own instance and do it there. I doubt there’s ever going to be any orderly migration. If you want it, make it happen. That’s how the reddit mods did it to begin with
Same same! Oof, I just realized my reddit account is 17 years old and barely any posts
I’ve been playing with my own single-user instance here using Docker. Mostly I just followed the Lemmy docs. It’s been nice & responsive and takes barely any resources, so far. I think this system can really benefit from a lot of small instances to spread the load.
I didn’t say anything was in a great state. I just said this software is like a party, no one’s here to serve you. You aren’t going to be catered-to because your eyeballs are worth selling. So if you want it to happen, help out. That’s how it works.
Bud, this is like going to someone’s house for a party and complaining that they don’t have your favorite beer. How about you go for a beer run?
I mean, you can always go start your own instance with blackjack and hookers - but then oh no you are the admin/mod in control then!
