Developer of ActivityPub-based micro-blogging and content subscription platform Mitra. Working on Fediverse standards: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/feps
Hi @Illecors, do you know why subscribing to lemmy.cafe communities may not work?
I tried to subscribe to this community, and several others, but the server never accepts my requests. This doesn’t happen with other Lemmy servers.
As far as I can tell, my server is not blocked. Upvotes and (hopefully) comments do go through.
@fhoekstra Such tools are worse than useless. Every time I see an automated changelog it’s mix of dependabot commits, “fix CI” and other meaningless messages.
Not having a changelog is better, because then you just go straight to a commit history and don’t waste your time trying to parse machine-generated slop.
Does it need to look like Reddit?
I am working on an ActivityPub client that doesn’t depend on a single server. Groups are planned, but the interface will be different from Reddit/Lemmy.
Are you going to shut down the instance?
I think switching to some obscure platform is a bad idea, but if you want to do that, at least make a post with a list of alternative communities such as https://lemmy.cafe/c/monero and https://lemmy.ml/c/monero
There is a self-hosted subscription service that supports Monero: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra
Automatic recurrent Monero payments are not really possible, but Mitra generates a notification when subscription expires so you know when to renew.
Also, it’s federated – I am publishing this comment from my own node.
This is a sensible proposal. Leverage existing trust to solve the problem.
I think a more advanced version of this that doesn’t depend on DNS might even be a good long-term solution. A Proof-of-Authority consensus, perhaps? Qubic have demonstrated that algorithms can easily be gamed, but humans are more complicated.

The link is broken. I think it is supposed to be https://xcancel.com/MoneroResearchL/status/1956119998004384085
Without it my comment will not appear in the community. Lemmy does this automatically under the hood, but I use a different software (it is closer to a microblog than a forum).
If you already have another coin, Trocador Swap is the easiest option (and you can get the best rates).
>Originally there was supposed to be 1 network, run by the engine council.
Yes, but then the devs decided to not take risk. That makes sense, and I don’t see why there shouldn’t be another network.
Fragmentation might negatively impact user experience, but it is not a huge problem, and it can be mitigated by implementing federation. I even suggested a possible architecture when federation was discussed in the matrix room.
@julian What did you do to get 3M activities? I’d like to try that too :)
Apparently the developer of Gupaxx is live-streaming on PeerTube:
@g2devi @XMRbutterfly @monero PoW doesn’t guarantee that wealth is deserved, because computing power can be bought too. It’s a bit harder to buy than tokens, but that doesn’t change the big picture.
Monero should stick to PoW, though, because it works. It didn’t work for Firo, apparently, so they had to change it, but I am not aware of any 51% attacks on Monero.
@rbrunner7 Nice explainer, thank you
@rafael_xmr @monero This app connects to 30 clearnet domains and all images are stored on nostr.build.
@lionroe Sounds complicated, and the biggest flaw of OpenBazaar still remains: the lack of web client. We discuss this article because it is available on the web. Lemmy and other Fediverse apps are successful because they have web clients.
Why not start with existing federated software like flohmarkt? Make it federate over Tor (maybe it already does). That would solve the hardest problem, discovery. Other features can be added later.
Vendors will host everything themselves, so there is no need for any incentive model.
@5dh @fediverse Financial incentive is not the only possible cause. If project leaders stop listening to their users for some other reason, you’ll get the same result.
And there is another, more subtle problem: protocol bloat. Fediverse services are getting more and more complicated, and the cost of creating a new platform is constantly increasing. If this problem is not addressed, at some point Fediverse will start looking like a web browser market, where new players can’t compete due to an immense implementation complexity.
It’s working, thanks a lot!
