  • The problem if you deactivate federation is, that people think, they can post with their Mastodon account, but it fails.

    But another problem is, that if you deactivate federation, all the federated content stays in the “all feed” and people might still post there. And federated communities show up to after deactivation. This is sloppy craftsmanship, again, and I could cry, if I see stuff like this, or did I just missed how to get rid of federated content after deactivating federation?

    I tried to install lemmyBB, but the README is pretty broken and I couldn’t even find someone, who has this front-end running. I already opened an issue on github and it looks like lemmyBB only works with an older version of lemmy :/

    Maybe I just copy my first posts, which got ghost data federated (from older installations), so the posts get a new id and people are able to post comments again (which can be seen by me). So at least one problem will be solved.




  • Do you know a good programmed forum software? Because one of the reasons I chose Lemmy was, that it was content based, like a classical forum and that’s what I need.

    But the second thing what I need is, to be able to access the posts/comments via an API, like REST to process them.

    I am at a point where I will throw away the work of the last 3 weeks to get some useful software, because it looks like Lemmy will just create unnecessary work, which could have been avoided, if it would have been clean programmed.

    I already checked phpBB, it doesn’t have a REST API :/








  • Like normal people! :D

    Go to another instance, if you find something interesting, copy the link and paste it to the search field of your instance. After that federation starts and you can post.

    There must be at least one person doing this, because otherwise ALL wouldn’t contain anything from other instances.

    But it’s a little bit sad, that you’ve never done this and only look at all. It means you watch only stuff other people on your instance have seen but you don’t get further.
