With have the huge opportunity of finally escaping censorship on centralized platforms. I honestly never thought Lemmy would take off as it has in the last few days. I started to get pessimistic on the overall death of the internet as I grew to know. This might be a drop of hope in the ocean of corporate greed that's destroying everything now.

Will setup an instance as well as soon as I have time.

I don't understand the motive of Microsoft here. They invested massively in OpenAI so what do they gain from open sourcing a rival model to their own investment ? What is not being told here ?

How can I subscribe to the communities over your server ? I am on mobile and can't how to do it. Tried the mobile web ui and jerboa on Android

Edit: just found out after clicking on your profile I could see all the communities. But suppose I wanted to subscribe to the communities over there from my account on an other instance how can I do it ?

That's a lovely news. Let them bleed.

You're right I never worked on big projects with a strong- typed language. I did C extensively in my University years and since then it has mostly been dynamic languages.

Haskell was my top priority language to learn but the pragmatic approach and performance of Rust was more appealing. I have a copy of Haskell Programming from First Principles ready on the shelf and I'm thinking Rust will give me a softer introduction to Haskell later.

I also think I am too much impatient since I got used to pickup dynamic languages fast and do something useful with them.

For any institution or moral entity based on profit I apply the principle of Presumption Of Guilt until proven innocent.

What would be nice is to have a system of tags or keywords that can be defined for a community. It would be trivial then to build a sort of multireddit where multiple communities can be aggregated by the tags they belong to.

Hi, I'm new to Lemmy. I saw the post about LemmyBB on hacker news and it brought me here. On the HN thread you can see the discussion on the slur filter right from the beginning. I consider myself very tolerant and I personally would not have added it by default. I also understand that the authors see things differently.

I want to thank the team who made this project a reality. You've built a serious alternative to a massive echo-chamber propaganda machine. THANK YOU. The slur filter is a non issue and whoever is only focused on that doesn't understand the dire situation we reached with walled gardens being built everywhere on the internet, which is actually becoming more of an intranet ...
