Hi! I remember there beings talks about beehaw planning to eventually move to a lemmy alternative with proper moderation tools, and was interested in following the development of this alternative, but I’ve forgotten the name of the project and can’t find the specific posts about the subject. Anyone remember what I’m talking about?
Sublinks? https://github.com/sublinks
This sounds familiar! I think this is it! Thank you very much
It’s a great idea, but I’m very skeptical about how ready it is for ‘production’, looking through their repo.
Agreed, unfortunately. I’m not even sure it supports defederation :/
It appears so.
What I think would be interesting would be a link aggregator based around tags rather than subcommunities. Moderation would be based around these tags. Your feed would be based on tag queries. Posts could have multiple tags, assigned by the original poster or by users. Assigning tags would have a similar effect to voting, so a post might get tagged by 1000 people as ‘corporate lies’, or as ‘music’, or whatever else.
Nice thing about this would be finer grained queries with news, for instance. Could get ‘politics’, but minus ‘corporate lies’.
This is a really cool idea, and some fediverse software already lets you follow hashtags (ie Pixelfed and maybe Mastodon). I could imagine this being immediately abused by mistagging to force material into your feed. It’s already a problem on Pixelfed.
I like the community method, because admins are going to want to own something more tangible. However, would love to see Lemmy implement user tagging on top of it.
cohost?
I thought it was confirmed to be Piefed once that is complete enough to be useful. Idk, though, maybe that is me just imagining things.
Edit: I am imagining things, it is Sublinks
I haven’t heard about piefed before, but I’ll be keeping an eye on this one as well. Thanks!
They’re wrong. Sublinks. https://beehaw.org/comment/3751604
It was confirmed Sublinks a little while ago:
I was imagining things, as is tradition
Why didn’t you post this as a top level reply to OP? It directly answers them.
kbin/mbin is another alternative. I have no idea how the moderation tools are, but it is open source.
As someone who has used kbin/mbin I do like the layout. I am also interested in sublinks since I have not used that yet.
Piefed seems nice.
