This is a thought I had mostly to do with Lemmy but I feel likes it’s relevant elsewhere in Fediverse.
As far as I know Lemmy doesn’t lock posts after a set amount of time like Reddit does and I feel like this is a good thing for smaller niche communities. For example if I created one for a one off video game or cancelled TV show it could be hard to generate new content to post to really help it take off. It would be nice to see people engaging with old posts when they stumble across a community and subscribe to it.
I feel like I haven’t see it a ton yet but I hope it’s a way Lemmy and the Fediverse can be different from sites like Reddit.
One thing standing in the way of this is the inability to move identities in Lemmy/Kbin. This is my 3rd time with a “Maximum Derek” user in the Threadiverse; my first was on Kbin back in June when it was really struggling, then I went to a Lemmy instance that just disappeared one day. If you try to engage with any of my posts I made while on those servers, I’ll never know it.
I miss the old OpenID way.
We need a very, very simple ID server that everybody should be able to install, even as an app for smartphones and ActivityPub (and others) able to communicate to.
I hope this one works better! I signed up at tchncs when I started Lemmy, and it seems like I chose well :)
I guess self hosting is the only sure way
man, now I need to watch TGP again…
I did a rewatch right before the holidays. Probably the 5th time I’ve watched through the series and I’m still catching new stuff. So good.

In my case it was fossware
You gotta host your own instance so that when it disappears you can only be disappointed in yourself.
But what if I already am
