oh boy I can’t wait for all of the integrations to break
also is it just me or is deciding what software you use and do not pay for based on the political views of the people who create it (who again in no way benefit from its use by people who don’t donate) incredibly fucking stupid
It’s almost like the philosophy behind a software matters to its long-term stability. Like, as if devs might find reasons to, I don’t know, reject PRs, ignore bugs, and trash their users when they come to them for help.
Weird that the content of someone’s mind might affect their actions or be an indicator of what level of trust they should be extended!
@AVincentInSpace@remington The Lemmy devs are infamously difficult to work with. They’ve repeatedly shown an unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of the many problems that instance admins face. That has been a big driver in Beehaw’s decision to move platforms, not just because of a difference in political views, and they’ve been pretty open about discussing it. You’re way off-base.
They do mention in the link they are moving away from the lemmy frontend too. If the development process is more inclusive though, it’s not a bad thing honestly, especially if it has previously excluded some developers
Pong. @mox@lemmy.sdf.org , in sublinks, the federation services are entirely separate from the API of the instance. So much separate, the federation services are written in a programming language called Golang. The API service is written in a programming language called Java.
One aspect does not require or preclude the other with Sublinks.
That’s like saying what is the point of misskey (and its forks) when it can be seen by people on mastodon. Isn’t that the whole point of the fediverse?
Yes I don’t understand the point of misskey either. It just seems to be a Japanese clone of mastodon with a small, differing interpretation of some parts of ActivityPub.
Sublinks exists because the developers of Lemmy have repeatedly ignored feature requests from instance admins and acted in a hostile manner towards them. They’re unpleasant to work with, so a bunch of people decided to no longer work with them and create their own project.
It feels like you’re only capable of seeing the “logical” point for something to exist friend. Misskey is to Tumblr as Mastodon is to Twitter.
Correct. We’re moving to Sublinks very soon. Buckle up.

Do you know what topic brought you here?
“Hey guys, let’s not use this free software, because of their views.”
“Maybe we shouldn’t use this other free software because of their views.”
“Why are you guys worried about which free software you use based on their views?”
“We can all tell you aren’t new, why are you complaining about our unofficial pastime?”

I am overjoyed to hear that we’ll be staying in the fediverse and I can stay with beehaw.
It will be “Lemmy compatible”, so hopefully all of Lemmy apps should work fine.
That’s splendid, though I’ll continue to use the web interface of beehaw honestly.
When was this announced lol. I’m guessing from our side it will be business as usual though?
The demo on that link is literally Lemmy lol
Is it maybe that they’re using the Lemmy frontend, but Sublinks for the backend? But yeah, still a bit weird…

Will it federate with Lemmy? I would miss you folks.
It’s my understanding that it will…I believe that’s, also, what it means when they (Sublinks developers) said it would be “Lemmy compatible”.
That could also mean client API-compatible, so Lemmy apps would work with it, which doesn’t address federation.
Maybe so. We should, probably, ask @Penguincoder@beehaw.org about this.

Indeed, protocol is independent from implementation language, but that isn’t the question at hand.
Do you know whether Beehaw will still federate with the lemmyverse (and therefore the rest of us) after moving to Sublinks?
The current aim of Sublinks is Lemmy parity for V1 release. So yes, I do see Beehaw still federating with Lemmy instances at the on-set.
Thanks for clearing that up!
then what’s the point if you’re still not getting away from the same people?
Y’all just don’t even bother moving your eyes over the text before you post, do you?

Great! Must have missed the announcement as usual but no matter, looking forward to it!
Oh nice. Hadn’t heard a platform had been decided upon.
