i’m the canvas guy ([email protected])
if using lemmy, it could automatically make this change
this would primarily be used by other fedi platforms to easily differentiate community & users
eg if i followed @sc07@group.toast.ooo on mastodon it would for sure follow [email protected] and not @[email protected] (an account with the same identifier)
but if you search a community up on another fedi platform, it won’t always pick the community or the user (if they have the same name)
as far as the other platforms know, there’s one actor but points to two different accounts
afaik the webfinger spec doesn’t allow for multiple actors having the same identifier, like how lemmy does it (here’s what gets returned when a username matches a community and user)
how I was thinking about it the instance owners would pick the subdomain the communities would be placed on, everything would still route through the main host but external interactions (like following a community) would be routed through the subdomain
eg for blahaj.zone’s lemmy instance it could be setup as users sending in @lemmy.blahaj.zone and communities ending in @group.lemmy.blahaj.zone or something like that
not every community would have it’s own subdomain, no
community actors would just have the hostname part be a different domain eg
users:
@UserA@toast.ooo@UserB@toast.ooocommunities:
@CommunityA@group.toast.ooo@CommunityB@group.toast.ooo
How does instance uptime decide when to show in-app? toast.ooo is listed on lemmy-status.org but doesn’t show up when using Mlem
there’s a good bit of uploads that are there now
very cool
i also want to style it to look like the in-game one as a nice finishing touch
Could you link to what instance it’s hosted on? (Eg !casualconversation@)
hackliberty.org still links to it, although it returns a service unavailable, so it looks unmaintained
Also the most recent forum post is about how covid is a hoax
Having a name for a version would be nice for each major release (1.0.0 would have a name but 1.x.x wouldn’t, but 2.0.0 would, etc)
this is exactly what I was envisioning, basically just better in-app video support & livestream support
i failed to explain that in the original post, but having vertical videos take up the whole vertical space of a phone would be nice (ofc w/ a setting to turn that off for people who don’t enjoy those things)
maybe a feature within mlem to suggest communities that are aimed at those type of content (maybe via a #tag within the community description?) to increase discovery?
Edit: updated the OP w/ more details
For a bit now I’ve been thinking of starting a small classic style of forum, using the top forum software (to my knowledge at least — xenForo) and writing a custom extension for it to add ActivityPub to it
Idk, I’ve realized that I don’t have a whole lot of time to keep up with live chat communities (like Discord, etc) so I started throwing the forum idea around
I’ve clicked on ads (primarily Instagram actually) because it is an ad that is for a product or service I was actually looking for but didn’t have the time/knowledge to actually go searching for it
If I remember correctly, apple also made it so iPad apps automatically work on the Vision Pro unless if the dev explicitly disables it, which is also a plus
Key reselling sites are often pretty sketchy, I’d go HumbleBundle route as that’s approved by the game devs
If you are worried about unwanted charges on your card I’d try Privacy.com to get a temporary card at least
Honestly playing a lot of The Finals recently
1-3 players, team based, capture the flag like, free to play, your team vs 2-3 other teams, fast paced
Seems like a good small coding project if you’re up to that
Instead of a weather api, it would be better to allow communities to specify locations (stored as coordinates probably?) to allow third party apps to do what they would like with it (like display the weather)
Either that or make a standardized way to put location information in the community description and then convince a third party app to support it
I ran into this issue when writing the Canvas authentication thing
There is a standard to simplify authentication and identification across the entire web but it isn’t fully implemented everywhere
OAuth2 is the big name in this, it supplies authorized requests to access data from other companies and services
OpenID is related to OAuth2 but it only supplies identification in a standardized way. OpenID has mechanisms to announce that a specific domain has support for this and how to automatically register for it (removing the need to have a bunch of login buttons)
For Canvas 2024 I’m implementing drop in implementations for popular Fediverse software (including Lemmy)
Hopefully more fedi software implements OAuth2 or at least OpenID to vastly simplify authentication (and possibly replace “login with google”)

@userworks on all fediverse platforms, but!communitydoes noti was proposing for this to be a possible solution to make it work across all existing platforms w/o requiring all the other platforms to support lemmy’s system
