A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Do share the alternative with us, that's universally supported and not owned by a corporation.
Already responded to someone else asking here.
So the article is about unwarranted 12 hour delays and your solution is to use a federated platform where delays are built into the system between server syncs? The fact that people cant see your other post yet because their local servers have not synced your post to this thread should be the first sign that this might not be a good solution to this email problem...
Email also is a federated platform that syncs. It's just a matter of getting this working, it's a solved problem on a conceptual level.
For example, all mail servers come with an outbound queue for mails to retry for at least a day until the mail goes through. Lemmy simply discards the message after a single try. This is a result of being beta-level software that just hasn't been fully finished yet.
How much effort is it to link to that reply or copypaste the response?
I have no idea how to link comments in a Lemmy/kbin-compatible way across instances, sorry. https://feddit.de/comment/606782
Copy-pasting is bad, because then the discussion is spread among three different threads.
Fair point, thanks for the link!
I'm not sure there is a format for linking comments in a cross compatible way yet, just communities and usernames.
One of the things that need to be solved soon. That kbin and lemmy have a different standard format for linking to communities is bad enough.
Are you sure? I'm not seeing anything else in this thread under your profile
Probably a syncing issue across instances? On mine, it's https://feddit.de/comment/606782
Yeah it's not showing up for whatever reason. Anyway, your reply boiled down to 'Something that doesn't exist yet'. It's probably a good idea to get the replacement tech up and running, and work out the kinks, before cheering for the death of our workhorse communication method.
Mine was an aspirational comment, not "we should do this right now". A replacement won't happen by itself unless there's a vision to make something like that.
