Hmm I was gonna suggest Mastodon. I always thought it allowed long-form writing similar to blog posts.

Same here. This seems valuable for anyone who would want Lemmy to be a first-class RSS reader. But I prefer to just use my RSS reader and add feeds to that.

I use a combination of RSS feeds provided by Lemmy and the ones provided by openrss.org, which has most if not all news sites nytimes, bbc, etc.

I don’t think this is an anti-React post, like the other commenters are implying.

This issue would occur when attempting to search any webpage with the web browser’s builtin search feature before the content has a chance to load in. This happens if the page requires JavaScript to load, which is the case with React apps.

I dont want any parts of Threads. But if they’re gonna federate, at least do it 100%. This half-ass, piecemeal approach where they release an itty bitty teeny weeny change every month is weird.

Not many things require a polyfill these days. My guess is a lot of older sites are affected.

Look at the frameworks go!!! I know I know. “its not a framework”…

The clients are called “RSS readers”. Most blog sites have RSS feeds you can add to it. And there are services that can easily generate RSS feeds for websites that don’t already have them.

I never really understood how cross posting works here. You mind telling us the benefits? Does it consolidate all of the discussions in each cross post into one big long thread? 🤔

A website can access another site’s cookies if the first party domain explicitly allows them, which would need to happen in this case. Sure, admins would have to allow which sites can access the cookie. But at least that burden is placed on admins vs the users.

Browser extensions arent secure and many mobile browsers dont support them, so that wouldnt be a proper solution. A lot of users use Lemmy on their mobile phones.

Sites can still have third-party cookies. The first party domain just needs to explicitly allow them.

Was about to ask if there was a way to do this automatically. Does anyone know why this isn’t baked into the Lemmy codebase? I’m thinking this would be pretty easy with browser cookies. 🤔

Does anyone know how this could affect Brave? I’ve suggested it for non-tech Google Chrome refugees who find Firefox difficult to use.

Interesting take I can appreciate, but hold on there…

This community here seems to have largely sided with ScarJo. Which means that they want famous people to receive a rent for lending out their voices

I dont think that’s what they mean at all. I doubt people care about ScarJo growing her bank account. I think most people who side with ScarJo just dont want Open AI stealing stuff it doesnt own, including people’s voices. Especially if they’re profiting off it.

If you use RSS feeds, there is. There are services that provide RSS feeds for Lemmy posts. You can subscribe to those and get an update whenever any comment is made on the post.

As an engineer who’s worked on very large codebases over two decades, I’ve realized that this is so much easier said then done.

If people want to fork Mastodon, great. But they’ll quickly realize that what they may think are straight-forward “improvements” will lead to them having to address bigger architectural issues.

Many design decisions that were made when building Mastodon may not be perfect, but they address a lot of very complex decentralization and federation issues.

There’s no such thing as perfect software. What some may think is an improvement, others will think is a terrible choice. Each decision is a trade-off and will have downsides. We just have to decide which of them we’re comfortable with living with.

These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer.

How is it “safer” when contributing to the codebase or filing and discussing issues will now require creating an account and giving up personal information to one of the most privacy-invasive tech companies in the world? 😳

Oh neat! I didn’t know this existed. By any chance, do you know of any RSS readers that have implemented it?

Is there one for the other sites like bbc.com?
