They’re viewable on Lemmy too!

• Lemmy: Thunder
• Maps: Organic Maps
• Weather: Breezy
• Tuner: Noteworthy Tuner
• Matrix: Element Android (it’s got a lot of issues, but, as far as I can tell, it’s the best that there currently is)

Would it be possible to at least show the total subscribers from all federated instances?

From what I can see, Macrodroid does not appear to be opensource, but thank you for the suggestion.

Forums are an invaluable source of information for countless purposes. Even extremely old forum posts can be a life-saver.

It’s closed source, and it costs money.

I’m not sure that there is much for actual server side support for cross posting just yet, but there is a way, at least on the web UI: if you click the two overlapping squares under you post title, it’ll open a new post with a link to the previous post and its content quoted underneath. It feels more like a work around for cross posting, but it does work.

I was referring to Rule 3 of the community:

3. Not regarding using or support for Lemmy

TL;DR: There is no singular answer to your question, imo. Essentially just run the instance transparently, reliably, and actively, and it will be attractive to people.

I’m not sure that there is one “best way” to grow an instance. An instance is essentially the fundamental governing framework for how the users interract with each other. You structure the rules around how you believe the users on your instance should interact, and those who agree with those rules will be drawn to them. Ideally, for sustainable growth in an instance, you also need reliable server infrastructure – the instance should be responsive, and have a reliable uptime. An instance’s admins must also actively moderate content. An instance with inactive moderators is not sustainable, and will quickly delve into hosting unwanted content on the instance which is undesirable for users.

This post possibly violates Rule 3 of !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

Some services run where they are natively accessible through tor, but most don’t.

This was mostly what I was referring to. Does there already exist a sort of “hidden fediverse”? As in a fediverse that is only accessible over Tor/i2p?

I wasn’t clear enough in my original post. I was referring to the idea of creating a sort of “hidden fediverse” which would be separate from the one over the clearnet.

You can connect to most instances over Tor

I was not enough in my original post. I was generally referring to your second point about hosting a sort of “Hidden Fediverse”.

Idk anything about that community, but I feel like it’s safe to assume that Discord isn’t going to take kindly to the existence of a server that, from the name, appears to be centered around piracy. I haven’t checked (someone please correct me if I’m wrong), but I feel like it’s safe to assume that piracy is something that would violate Discord’s ToS. Just use Matrix – I implore you.

Y’all don’t update your services?

That’s a fine recommendation! Thank you!

Of course, few things in life are truly free – presumably, such a service would be run by donations, and the community.
