I know I’m not necessarily the target audience for this. But it feels too expensive. 6x the price of Cloudflare R2, almost 13x the price of Wasabi. Even iCloud storage is $0.99 for 50 GB with a 5 GB free tier. But again, I know I’m not necessarily the target audience as I have a lot of technical skills that maybe average users don’t have.

If you ever get around to building an API, and are interested in partnerships, let me know. Maybe there is a possibility for integration into [email protected] 😉.

I wish it worked on more webpages. But totally agree.

What? I’m not following. Steam isn’t federating with anyone. This is about having a link to an external site. Nothing more. Has nothing to do with federation directly.

That is so bad. They clearly don’t understand the appeal of decentralized systems…

Submitted!

Just added to my todo list. Hopefully I’ll get around to this today! Thanks!!

Thanks so much! 🎉 Native is the only way to go imo 😝. I’ll make a PR this weekend.

Might also have some comments on the Lemmy API eventually, but I’ll save those for a later date haha.

Thanks for all you do for Lemmy.

Check back in 24 hours or so. If it still isn’t available, please let me know.

What is your region?

Just posted there. Thanks!

Thanks. It did go down after about 40 minutes or so. It seems like my instance isn’t federating properly now tho. Had to manually call /api/v3/resolve_object with the link to your comment to even be able to reply to it.

Another example is here you can see that the number of upvotes doesn’t match this.

Any ideas?

For Mastodon there is something called Tootpick which allows you to enter your server’s domain and share any content by redirecting the user. For example: https://tootpick.org/#text=https://eventfrontier.com/post/37808. So I’m not quite sure the federated nature argument makes sense. Sure it’s more complicated that a centralized system, but possible regardless.

@[email protected] If the instance is overloaded, how do you still get posts then?

Does the subscription being pending remove any functionality or change the behavior at all?

I have a lot of them from Beehaw.org. What I didn’t expect is I still seem to be seeing posts from those communities in my subscribed feed.

If you’re into JavaScript, https://github.com/dynamoose/dynamoose is a project I maintain, and has a lot of great documentation, Slack channels, and more.

Although my attention on it goes in waves, it could for sure use more help. I’m also totally willing to help answer questions and point people in the right direction.

We currently have 80 open issues, 6 open PRs. 9 of those issues are marked as “good first issues” and 8 are marked as “help wanted”.

So there are for sure some easy jumping off points to get started. But I’m also always happy to answer questions and assist in anyway I can as well.

Beyond that, it’s all about diving into something. I found Dynamoose when it was much smaller, and just started with small contributions and built up from there. Following developers on social media, and following programming communities and newsletters can be helpful too.

I build a Swift package for the Lemmy API: https://github.com/rrainn/Lemmy-Swift-Client.

Beyond that, the SwiftUI tutorial is fairly good: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui/.

But just searching on YouTube and Stack Overflow about how to do things goes a long way too. Google a lot as well.
