Thank you for sharing and all the work.

Reddit is letting a public figure harass me with impunity because I outed his company for fraud by RoundSparrow in c/reddit@lemmy.world

Siding with product sellers / advertisers has been their clearly announced trend in 2023. The whole API thing was because they didn't like other apps running independent advertisements.

Core components... like operating systems and engines... this was the whole reason people open sourced in the first place. You start getting it in millions of devices and it is too much power for closed-source closed-license. The GPU drivers and WiFi drivers are often the ones who pave the paths away from open source.

Can you reword your second question? 'force searching communities' - not sure why you would want to force or automate a search.

Although I've found one area that Lemmy to kbin doesn't seem to work when bringing in older content when a new vote is done.

Instance: StarTrek.website Lemmy. comment thread: https://startrek.website/comment/2051539

The copy on kbin.social does not seem to load the thread that starts with user @jet
https://kbin.social/m/quarks@startrek.website/t/404007/Favorite-sci-fi-film-thats-not-Star-Trek/oldest

Not sure what is going on under the hood where those won't copy into kbin.

If anyone votes on an old comment from the source instance, your newly subscribed kbin instance will grab the older message when the new vote comes in. Works with both Lemmy and kbin sources.

If the comment voted on is a reply to a reply, it will load in all the parent comments as well.

If you have a login on the other instance, you can vote and unvote and it will still populate your kbin comments.

Why are comment threads no longer indented further than 2 indentations?

That seems to be the behavior of 'classic view'. Change to 'tree view'?

Lemmy/Kbin Reinvestment Phase and Recruiting from Mastodon by RoundSparrow in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

The developers of Lemmy have been questionable for some time

They also seem obsessed about deleting/purging content and keeping Lemmy postings off of Google Search... Lemmy servers have been online for over 4 years and even on their beloved topics (Rust, communism, etc) it would almost never come up. It's as if they think they are building private e-mail or dating service instead of public forum. Which is entirely against the idea of their self-proclaimed love of communism and copyleft stuff... why not have everyone agree to a creative commons license of their content/contributions like Wikipedia when posting on a public forum...
