Why don't you post about these stories then?

I mean phone number verification like steam does. It's only one of many possibilities when you are a major company.

Interesting, I never used digg and didn't know about it's history. It seems like they could have easily fought back bots with captchas, email verification, phone verification and so on.

I pay around 80€ per month for the lemmy.ml server, plus a few euros for image hosting and domain. So that's around 3 cents per active user.

I believe there is still an open issue on Github for this, but no one was interested to help implement and test it. So use the search function and contribute!

Thanks!

Please open an issue for this if there isn't already one. Then I can have a look once the summer holidays are over.

I would be happy to give an interview, but so far no media seems particularly interested in Lemmy.

Interop with microblogging is not the main purpose of Lemmy. The main purpose is to have a federated Reddit, with federation between Lemmy instances. That it can also connect with other platforms like Mastodon is more like a neat side effect.

We created Lemmy from the very start with federation in mind. But it was always meant to be a Reddit alternative, which means community focused. I don't see any reason to add user following when that's already supported by a dozen other Fediverse platforms, and would only dilute our main focus. I believe in the Unix philosophy: do one thing and do it well.

Activitypub is based on Activitystreams, and doesn't define any types of its own. Lemmy is fully compliant with the Activitypub standard as far as I know.

Not sure what more you want to read, but Dessalines and me do AMAs once in a while where we answer all sorts of questions. You can find them in !announcements@lemmy.ml.

And I don't work on Jerboa, you have to open an issue for this if there isn't already.
