Also, OP, as a general request, could you please consider posting to

Those two communities have several active members posting, and are trying to gather enough activity to become sustainable. [email protected] was barely active before you started posting it to it, and now provides people with https://lawsofux.com/choice-overload when they want to post about movies.

Feel also free to join [email protected] where we discuss growing communities

Sopuli is great

Just saying that while it could be a good improvement long term, it's not really needed now due to the low activity in other languages than English and German

Spanish barely has a few communities active, not sure they're there yet

[email protected]

Same for French, there is [email protected] but it's barely active

[–] Blaze 8 points 3 weeks ago (10 children)

Piefed has a built-in wiki system for communities

[email protected] for an example

If Digg aren't completely stupid, they should have an API for third party apps at launch, which would allow replication as well

[–] Blaze 5 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

If there's one thing we've learned about the Reddit API fiasco, and the Twitter - Mastodon - Bluesky dynamics, is that the vast majority of users don't really care about federation.

If Digg is a less shitty Reddit, a lot of people will probably move there.

Makes senses.

@[email protected], what do you think?

[–] Blaze 3 points 3 weeks ago

I never said I liked it, and I don't plan to leave the Fediverse.

[–] Blaze 2 points 3 weeks ago

And that's why it's usually recommended to find a more generalist community where there is at least another active poster.

Keeping a community active by yourself is quite tiring, and most people will drop it after a bit.

Hello,

It’s more of a meta discussion, but any chance you could reach out to the [email protected] mod? They just posted a half 2025 thread with quite a few comments: https://lemmy.ml/post/31205768

I know you’re banned on .ml, but you could maybe ping them here, or create a thread on [email protected]

I'm excited to announce that Voyager now has experimental support for logging in with Piefed! You can try it out today on:

This will roll out to the official app stores and vger.app soon(tm), once I’m confident there are no major regressions. If you prefer not to switch to beta builds, just hang tight.

Please note that Piefed support is EXPERIMENTAL! There are still many things that don't work quite right, which I'm hoping to improve over the coming weeks.

The basics including scrolling home/all/local, viewing posts, blocking, commenting and voting should work well. However there are some known issues:

  • Can't sign up for a Piefed account in-app, only log in with an existing one
  • Subscribed communities list is empty (should be fixed soon!)
  • Inbox tab doesn't load
  • Comment search doesn't work
  • Profile upvoted/downvoted doesn't load
  • No moderation tools
  • Mark as read doesn't persist
  • Creating/editing posts is currently untested
  • ...probably a bunch of other stuff too, please let me know below!

Behind the scenes, this interoperability is made possible thanks to aeharding/threadiverse, a new library I am working on to normalize various threadiverse-software APIs. It's open source so any project use it, but it's under heavy development right now. What's cool about this is in the future, adding support for mbin, or whatever else is possible!

Again, feel free to try it out and let me know if there are any more issues to be documented and fixed.

Very noob review

  • built quality is solid
  • touches are easy to remap thanks to https://caniusevia.com/
  • the keycaps are very nice (and kind of made me realize how lower quality the one of the Anne Pro II were)

I was also lucky to got it half price (around 100€ total instead of 200€), so very happy!

The design is based on the excellent Dactyl keyboard, generated with https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/ and it runs the excellent qmk firmware. It is handwired:

and I have also made a palm support using inkscape and openscad

All printed on a reprap prusa i3 derivative.

This helps me use my computer with less pain, so I want to call out all the wonderful projects and people who contribute to them which made it possible.

Total cost? $60 aud, amortised filament ~15 bucks worth maybe? and a lot of my time haha.

Extensive passenger data has been sold to the US Government by major airline companies including Delta, United Airlines, and American Airlines, new documents reveal.

US travellers' domestic flight records, including their names, full itineraries, and financial details were sold to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

CBP is a part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They said they acquired the data to track people of interest's air travel.

The documents, obtained by 404 Media, showed that passenger information was sold through a data broker that major airlines including Delta, American Airlines and United Airlines collectively own.
