I think they're "communities" here?

Do moderators have the ability to "require approval" for new subscribers? I'd assumed that "pending" meant that someone had to "let me in" because that's how they chose to run their corner of the internet (which is great).

Is it actually just lag/a tech issue?

Can't decide which I prefer at this point.

But they're basically interoperable, yes?

So far I miss being able to see a graphic associated with links I post

haha, my first post here I tried to post both a URL and an image, so it looked like I made a post that consisted solely of the defector.com logo. :/

In retrospect, it's kind of shocking how many obviously wrong turns I had to make for that to happen.

I'm sure the folks who know this stuff better than I are already exploring it, but I imagine that PixelFed integration would be relatively straightforward.

Exciting times!

I'm currently working on making it so that fediverse links opened in Jerboa will open in Jerboa.

Huzzah!!

Thanks! I'm sure it was something I botched, haha.

The internet’s best resources are almost universally volunteer run and donation based, like Wikipedia and The Internet Archive. Every time a great resource is accidentally created by a for-profit company, it is eventually destroyed, like Flickr and Google Reader. Reddit could be what Usenet was supposed to be, a hub of internet-wide discussion on every topic imaginable, if it wasn’t also a private company forced to come up with a credible plan to make hosting discussions sound in any way like a profitable venture.

A thousand times this!

In the meantime, if someone could post a quick walkthrough on how to easily get from

Point A: A link the looks like "https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing"

to

Point B: Community page is opened natively in Jerboa, by way of 'my' instance, with the 'subscribe' option close at hand.

I hear you -- thanks! I guess I need to figure out how to copy that link text in Jerboa, haha.

OT: In Jerboa (lemmy app), why does clicking those community links open in a browser?

My understanding is that if I want to engage with a community on another instance, I need to "go to" that community from my own instance.. right?

But when Jerboa opens the community in a browser, I can't subscribe or anything since at that point I'm "on" the other instance, which of course has no idea who I am.

Great post / question!

I was trying to think of a way to ask the same question without coming across as some sort of anti-centralisation absolutist lunatic, haha.
