  • These are certainly possibilities! It’s happened elsewhere in the Fediverse… but already we can export most of our data and migrate to a different instance. Getting these base features right is important before enhancing their functionality. Planning for the future is important too. So far I’ve been impressed by Lemmy, though it’s not nearly as portable as Mastodon or Calckey or Pleroma etc. Part of that is that in Lemmy/kbin we don’t follow other users… we subscribe to groups (subs/communities/magazines).

    Still, with the nature of ActivityPub, it’s inevitable that migration tools for Reddit-like federated apps will get built quick-like





  • Lots and lots at work…

    But my only real side project right now is a scheduler and supervisor… “If cron and supervisord had a super-powered love child”.

    I’m very close to releasing v1 so I’m not gonna jinx it by revealing too much, but it’s already in production use by two companies, one of which is enterprise-level, using it to process MASSIVE data somewhere in the entertainment industry… and yes, it’s gonna be FOSS, with MIT license.

    It emphasizes a declarative approach to reproducing clusters of orchestrated job-runners on low-cost cloud infrastructure. Makes it easy to scale and even map-reduce.

    Includes 3 interfaces: CLI (for everything), API (for most things), and UI (for most things).

    It’s gonna be sick heheh. I’ll be sure to come back here once you can pip install it.







  • Nope. I joined a couple big Mastodon instances, then started running a solo on DigitalOcean. It’s a hobby. I’ll probably give up the self-hosted and continue on a regular Calckey account.

    Also played with Pixelfed, and before that all the way back to Matrix/Rocket… and pre-AP good ole diaspora*. Basically, anything but corporate social media. I just don’t like it enough to deal with the bullshit.

    I liked Reddit though, but haven’t been on there for more than a year, now.

    Lemmy seems pretty cool though. I’m interested in playing with the tech. Seems like a good way to take my Rust skills to the next level.
