Well there's the rub. I added the RSS a day or two ago, I saw that post. The post is from a lemmy.world account on Beehaw - I think it should be trivial to open it and interact.
If I look at the similar Lemmy feed, I don't see it - and I can't find it in a search - it's kind of 'walled off' to me.
Beehaw and Lemmy.World don't have the same headers.
Yes, I know - I missed the speech marks on Brian's last comment (",)
Yes, I'm not too worried yet.
Some folks are busy setting up subs here - it'll be interesting to see if we can get subs with both direct posts as well as direct feeds from Reddit too (I get 99% of Reddit via RSS).
This is the way.
Ah, when I do that, I see 'Subscribe Pending' :(
Strangely, I cancelled and subscribed again - now ✔ joined
I tried to snort yesterday.
Inoreader works very nicely for me. I have quite a few folders set up... Stuff I had bookmarks for, but rarely visited lately...
Stuff from the 'other' place - useful fodder to consider 'bridging' or just 'copy/pasting' over in Fediverse :P
I added the Firefox extension, so if I visit Youtube - for example (open this in a PRIVATE window, not logged in) Insights from Ukraine and Russia then I can Easily add the RSS by searching in Inoreader.
Here's Daily Dose of Internet
The beauty being that you can quickly go through all this stuff - great keyboard accessibility (90% covered with Shift J-K to go to the next/previous feed, Shift-X to toggle expansion of the folder, J - K to go (and mark read) the next/previous item (but you can ALWAYS view all articles in a thread)... all without visiting the sites.
Feedly and Inoreader are both awesome - and you can (and should regularly) export a list of your feeds as a backup/migration strategy.
We must go out into the Fediverse, and discover - or create - our alternatives.
Watching and waiting are one thing, but anyone with the expertise on Reddit should consider starting up basically a Fediverse Mirror.
So right now, with r/zfs being down, would be the perfect time for a similar instance to be fired up in the Fediverse.
This is very true.
Sometimes we learn bad habits, and when someone points out that the way most folks do it is actually wrong - they get voted down by most folks who want to justify that, because they're doing it wrong, then the suggestion is offensive.
Cool - but I'm not on Beehaw (I'm on lemmy.world) to add to the confusion, and I see here both an up and down arrow...
Plus there are way more people here who aren't dicks
Well there are just WAY less people here, and the barrier to entry is still pretty high - dicks (and millions of good people) are still filtered out by this.
I know you all who have been here longer than 3 days are probably sick of the whole "leaving Reddit" post trend here.
Hmm some might be excited to see some new content coming up...
I ended up hearing about Lemmy while browsing today and I deleted my account just now.
Not too hasty I hope.
I'm more of the school that believes we need to create our alternatives to evil empires.
You know - Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Quora - whatever your addictive poison is.
Once similar communities (popular now on Reddit) are mirrored in the Fediverse, then users should find it easier to migrate.
So Fediverse jokes might start being better than r/jokes etc.
Only time will tell, really, whether the toxicity of Reddit will come with us. I'm guessing that people are people, and we'll just have to see how it pans out.
They're mostly for defence. The best way to attack snails is with an a-salt rifle.
RSS is one of the oldest protocols existing. Basically it's like a feed with links to things posted...
I'd suggest you start with Feedly or Inoreader, make an account and take a look.
For me, it means that I can see notifications (Inoreader) telling me how many unread items have occurred across the 79 websites I added as feeds.
I have a folder for 'Fediverse' with feeds like Lemmy - ukraine (also Reddit's r/ukraine).
I have a 'Linux' folder, containing a few interesting blogs - like Niccolo's KDE developer blog, a few news sites, plus announcements from my OS forum.
I have a 'News' folder with various sources (one is a journalist I know with a Facebook page - as I don't use Facebook).
I have a 'Video' folder
I have a 'Time Waster' folder which has things like Digg, WindowSwap, Drive & Listen
Basically, any time you make an account and request updates from a website, the same can be done with NO account and simply copying the RSS link.
It gives you updates on things you don't need to bother bookmarking or opening to follow.
