flea market

!flohmarkt@lemmy.ca

Reading the post, I found what I really want right now: a federated review platform.

!neodb@lemmy.zip is a general review site. It currently covers media but, if you can get the data in (SKUs?) I can't see a reason it couldn't cover other products.

I'm largely still on Reddit to direct people towards the fire exits.

I did have a chat with someone about getting off Facebook and they reckoned they could get the majority of friends and family off Facebook onto Friendica but would struggle to give up Messenger and Marketplace. I pointed them to Matrix and Flohmarkt but also appreciated that it might not be possible to make a clean break but the important thing was to get at least one foot out of the Big Web even if they aren't fully out yet.

Not really. There are things dedicated to specific modes of transport, !rail@feddit.uk, !bikecommuting@lemmy.world, etc but nothing for the whole category.

If you'd like to see something like this, I'd recommend starting !nofly@lemm.ee.

I don't think it is just the outright Nazis but all the fellow travellers and adjacent terrible people.

You're very welcome. Have a lovely rest of your day.

Well done

I've said it before but join-fediverse needs to ask a few simple questions to walk new users through a decision tree that offers them a couple of instances at the end of the process:

• What service are you looking for?
• Where are you located?
• What languages do you speak?
• What are your interests?

This is just what I'd do if someone asked.me about joining the Fediverse and should help minimise decision paralysis.

That's my take on it too.

Late Web 1.0/early Web 2.0 we had a diverse ecosystem of forums, wikis, blogs (micro and macro), etc. The next logically step would have been to invent a protocol to get them talking to each other. Instead, the Big Web offered everyone convenience as long as they were happy living inside their walled garden, which was fine until it wasn't.

We're now just trying to fix the mistake of trusting the Big Web and get back to where we were before it all went wrong.

Yeah, I've spoken to a few people on Reddit who have got themselves bogged down doing background reading where they just need to make the jump and learn as they go. Which is what most of us did.

You don't have to start big. Come up with a simple idea, figure out how you can make it in an accessible language (like Python or PHP), grab some tutorials and get cracking.

And thank you for being so supportive in their endeavours to make the Small Web kinder. 👍👍

Now you've jinxed it!

Sounds unwise.

We also have one Admin in charge of the domains (me) and one in charge of the domains (GA), so we'd have to team up to go rogue. We also have processes to handover control if we get hit be a bus.

It's URL is friendi.ca!

Is the donations don’t cover the bills there are few options.

They usually do. When we opened for donations, we pretty much hit our goals within days and our donations currently exceed our expenses without having to do donation drives. @Blaze@feddit.org had a thread where Lemmy Admins discussed their costs and a lot are already fully funded.

Do it. !okmatewanker@feddit.uk needs friends.
