How did that go?

Do you plan on cooking in space?

Your username is a hell of a reference, haha

I think what it means is that it doesn't add up all the little arrows across all posts and comments, by default. Although, I suppose an instance, external tool, or browser plugin could still do that.

Magazines? I apparently missed something so far.

There would not be a need to duplicate or sync all user databases across the fediverse to support SSO. In fact SSO already exists in other contexts and I haven't heard of any implementation that works that way. It's essentially accomplished by the authority and the service exchanging login tokens.

That seems to me to be one of the big issues - it looks like the available themes are down to the discretion of the instance admin. I dunno if allowing an arbitrary URL for a theme would be too much of a security hole, but it seems like that would quickly make each user able to use any theme they want.

What kind of help you need? I'm down to look at it at least!

I will defederate with anyone who dares associate with Kevin Bacon

Personally, I am fresh enough to all this that I feel it's prudent to kind of sit back on the discussion, and am leaning toward the "defederate" option.

However - I deleted my Facebook years ago, and never had Instagram or Twitter. It would be nice to interact with my own family and friends who do most of their online presence in places like that. So I kinda get it. I'm not after the mass-produced content but it would be cool to hear from people I know again that I've lost touch with because I'm stubborn about FB.

Just spitballing - and please consider that I haven't been at Lemmy long enough to know if this is a terrible idea - but what about an instance that hasn't blocked Facebook and other big corpos, but doesn't raise their content by default? Like what if you have to actively connect with people on them? Seems like a decent middle ground, until Facebook decides to break it anyway.

I might be willing to help with this if you want to tackle it and are interested in help. I'm newish to Lemmy but want to get my feet wet. What tech stack do you prefer? Typescript is a very short leap from Javascript if you already know it, IMO.
