Is this also possible for Lemmy? Would be nice to get Lemmy community posts3in RSS feeds

Then it should be quite easy. Did you post the request to GitHub?

Is the instance hosting the community contained in the URL? Then it should be easy to implement, otherwise it’s probably much more complicated.

I think Lemmy’s solution is better, but still not perfect. I can subscribe to communities of other instances from my own instance, but only if either a) I know the exact name and search for it, or b) someone else did before me.

Well it’s a little complicated. I have a router, but there are several different ways to get internet to your home where I live.

1. (default and oldest way) through the telephone network of cables and your phone cable that comes into your house
2. Cable TV cable (coax) that comes into your house (I currently only have Sat TV here, and no cable
3. LTE/5G
4. FTTH is currently rolled out in smaller cities and I will get it in a few weeks.

Also, if one platform instance, eg. Lemmy.ml decides to not show any ads but lemmy.world does that would be fine too.

I think the most difficult part to figure out, would be the payment system. Is there anything that’s privacy friendly? PayPal is not, not sure about stripe, don’t know others except ones that only work in my country.

Yeah I’m thinking of something where the system showing the ad can give tags/keywords and corresponding ads show. Each instance can decide on whitelist/blacklist basis what kind of ads they want to send out (e.g. specific advertisers, sfw/nsfw, banner/text/video).

So you would subscribe to a specific instance of the ad service and get only ads they deem ok, including ads from other instances. So you can publish to all instances but the instances decide what they give out/show.

Edit: Typo & sentence structure

As I read in another post, the current revenue models (for devs and hosters) are donations and Patreon.

I kinda like the idea to have an open ad network, with privacy intact of course. I might think about it a little and set up a open source concept for it and post it here to get contributions.

Yeah, in Germany if you don’t have Internet over cable you get a flexible IP. Not sure how it is with ftth which we will get in a few weeks.

Would ads go against the fediverse principles? There could also be a federated ad network. Where you can choose what kinds of ads you want on your instance and thus content could be monetized.

Sadly my provider won’t let that happen. Except I pay for it. Or are you not talking about the public IP?

I get what you’re saying, but you can already get this with a little more work. Clone + Push to other self-hosted git server instance, e.g. Gitea.

But having an overview of publicly available Giteas where you can register and cross-instance fork more easily would be nice.

I know traefik, need to check out the scale machine though. How can I access it though if I don’t have a static IP and no DNS? I might use my routers VPN, but that wouldn’t work for my non-technical wife.

Well there’s also techies who don’t (only) use Linux and like (some) sports. More of a Sci-Fi and Comic Book guy than anime here.

Let’s see how this grows.

Thanks a lot!

Does Vaultwarden do their own reverse-proxying, routing etc like e.g. Plex? I use my PM on my mobile all the time from everywhere and last time I tried setting up DynDNS or so it really didn’t work. Maybe I need to invest more time.

But couldn’t it be made easier? Who cares which server a community or a user is registered on. I register where a friend sent me the link to and from there on it shouldn’t matter and could be handled in the background.

The big sites are also not one central instance. They have several distributed instances all managed by the same company.

How did you get your friends over?
