Mostly because I was thinking about moving to a different instance but... where?
I mean I like it here, but I have this nagging feeling that is time to move.
(Also the one instance where I could theoretically fit in, I had a fight with the admin months ago. I muted him. Not going to speak with that person again.)
@ju_and_the_cats I'm going to stick to this instance until self hosting with an agnostic server becomes viable (unless the instance goes down, obviously). I have some curiosity to try out Fediverse platform that are more flexible in terms of content (Mastodon mangles a bit too much for my tastes), but not enough to resettle.
@ju_and_the_cats I could bet you were talking about this instance 8-) I've had my own contrast with our admin, but I think despite it this is well-managed (compare and contrast: Mercatone).
Things I would try are Friendica (one of the most mature platforms), CalcKey (fancy, but a bit experimental and probably not as reliable as others, from what I'm seeing) and HubZilla (combines multiple services, and supports an actual nomadic identity protocol).
@oblomov@ju_and_the_cats the only reliability problems were with the flagship instance, which was a deployment issue, not a software issue. Calckey also has full nomadic identity
@kainoa@ju_and_the_cats thanks for chiming in! And sorry for the comment, it wasn't intended to be disparaging. Good to know that it's deployment issues and not code-related. I assume the bed to rapidly scale is what causes the issues then?
Re: nomadic identity, are you referring to the possibility to import posts when migration, or something more complete like what is offered by Zot/6 or the Nomad protocol? Does CK support something like the copyTo extension introduced in Streams?
@oblomov@ju_and_the_cats We don't support copyTo yet, but we support post imports and social graph migrations, so I suppose it's not FULL nomadic identity yet. I haven't looked into that extension yet... 👀
And no worries about the tone, I didn't think it sounded disparaging. Just wanted to clear things up :)
Though i don’t particularly like the software 😉, nor is particularly well federated, i find very interesting the lemmy explosion. It’s less, how do i say, ideological, people simply took it and started using it for the very thing they wanted to do. Even to the extreme of putting out a million of single user useless server because they didnt got exactly the way it work but they had this urge to talk.
@luca@ju_and_the_cats I gave both kbin and Lemmy a cursory look without logging in, and honestly I prefer kbin, both aesthetically and functionality-wise (regardless of the diatribe about the Lemmy developers), especially if one is looking for something more “personal” than a link aggregator.
