Do you have any suggestions for finding decent "gently used laptops"? The few times I've looked (ebay, Craigslist, etc) they've been pretty shady (looks fine, runs like it's eaten a litter of dust bunnies).

 

I stumbled upon this and I immediately thought of this channel.

Someone is running a bot that'll scrape a website-that-shall-not-be-named. It'll only mirror threads (not comments) and the author / community seem very passionate to subvert any api limits that the scraped company may impose.

Oh now that you mention it, a sharable link would be a must. This would promote curated "Awesome..." repos/links.

It would be ideal if it were part of the fediverse naming convention. For example "/m/multi-subreddit-name/c/group1@domain1/c/group2@domain2/..."

It would allow full transparency, the ability to update / change it... places could even provide URL shorteners for it.

Edit 2: formatting (come'on Lemmy don't let me down)

One feature suggestion for Lemmy someone made: Create something like a multi-subreddit with Lemmy groups .

I love the idea. Basically, you could toss all the fragemented tech topics into a single multi-subreddit, giving you the ability to browse through a single topic but spanning different Lemmy installations.

Malicious Compliant Deep Thoughts : You could create a group here on Lemmy, start topics and discussions there. Then link those Lemmy posts on Reddit. The Reddit Users will figure it out. :)

Also part of the 10+ year club (long time lurker). You're right about that "familiar sense", but for myself it comes with a forgotten sense of optimism.

Reddit's been on the decline for years before the Vitoria incident or The Great Purge... but as long as I had my niche communities, baconreader, and old.reddit.com - I could "get by"... as Reddit became more and more aggressive in selling "me as the product".

The federated and open source nature of Lemmy will solve the issue of "corporate presence", but it will require us to "roll up our sleeves" - which I find refreshing.

Oh, I like it! A multi-subreddit should be a must-have for a federated community like Lemmy.

It would create a simple way to lump together all these Gaming group (from different servers) into a single view. Such a feature would improve visibility and also (hopefully) reduce the amount of noise/duplicate content (ie: one trailer being reposted to each Gaming channel/server)
