The cool thing is that it’s not like versus, it’s like co-op!

Source? Or is it just your impression?
Well, in theory sure. But you always lose people during migrations, it’s inevitable. And it’s cumbersome for users. It’s not a nice experience. The fediverse has enough bad UX as it is, I’d prefer if we didn’t pile on more.
If the fediverse actually held true to the promise of easy migrations, then maybe it wouldn’t be a big deal. But unfortunately it’s still not really that easy.
but they haven’t released anything yet
And with their current pace, it seems likely they never will. There’s been no major development on it for months as far as I can see.
Unfortunately migrating from one fediverse application to another on the same domain is actually basically impossible, due to the way ActivityPub works. It’s very unfortunate.
Damn! If only someone could’ve predicted that Meta would eventually do something stupid like this! If only we had defederated from them from the start /s
Try writing “!” followed by a community name, see if it autocompletes. That’s how it works in lemmy-ui.
You’re welcome! :)
Your link goes to lemmy.world, which only works for users on lemmy.world. For everyone else who doesn’t use lemmy.world, you just get to lemmy.world where you are not logged in. So you need that kind of link to go to the community while still staying on your own instance.
It’s like if I linked to the Feddit.dk community like this instead of like this: !fedditdk@feddit.dk

Just be sure to find another job before quitting. Always easier to find a job when you already have one.
The line is at least very blurred with moderation. One person’s moderation is another person’s censorship.
Doesn’t change the fact that Lemmy does not support posts outside of communities.
Okay, sure you could have apps open links to external posts, as the app would know that it would need to fetch the post by searching the URL (switched with a HTTPS scheme). I can kinda see the point of that. I’m not sure the fediverse and ActivityPub is really super mature enough for that yet. For instance you can’t fetch Mastodon posts from Lemmy.
By “claiming addresses” you mean domains? Or what?
You mean because the address in the fediverse scheme would be domain-independent? How in the world would that work? How would it know what to connect to? You’re proposing something completely different than ActivityPub at least.
Changing the scheme doesn’t really make any difference if it’s still just HTTP underneath. The scheme is just for indicating a protocol. So what’s the different protocol you’d actually propose?
Unfortunately you can’t just change the ID format as it would require a breaking change to the protocol.
No - in Italy you eat pizza with a knife and fork.
