Oh my god this is awesome!! I wanted to make something like this for myself for a while but never got around to it, unfortunately.

Yeah, but the reasoning in the post is that OpenAI has already profited from the data, and might have a better position to negotiate special access with them than smaller companies, thus reducing competition.

Well, I’m not sure how to post to communities, but you can see all posts from a community by just searching for it on mastodon (use @ instead of !). (so to find lemmyworld, go to i.e. chaos.social and then enter @lemmyworld@lemmy.world in search) There you can also reply to posts, and these replies will show up on Lemmy. In addition to that, you can follow Lemmy users so their comments will show up on your timeline.

Not possible yet. The devs said it may be coming in the far future. kbin supports this, but it’s a bit buggy still and is not yet compatible with Lemmy. I’m considering switching once they turn on federation (so that you can join Lemmy communities from there and vice versa).

This is all still a bit early still, unfortunately. Though I’m sure now that so many people are here development will accelerate significantly.

Edit: People on Mastodon can reply to Lemmy conversations, though. And we can see their comments here.

Hah, I edited the same thing into my comment earlier :)

edit: also that “unreviewed content” popup is such a scourge. it seems to pop up completely randomly, just to force you to use the app. glad to be off that platform.

It doesn’t seem like the main developer has said anything yet, though, that’s why I didn’t include it in my list. But hey, it’s open source, so I’m sure someone will contribute a pull request if it doesn’t happen officially!

• Sync for Reddit
• RedReader

“are considering” might have been better wording, as the Sync developer hasn’t decided yet. For RedReader it’s pretty much guranteed to happen eventually as the app is open source.

Additionally, there is a Reddit to Lemmy API translation layer which could accelerate this.

Yes, but it’s only because it looks cool AFAIK, lemmy.ml is hosted in France

On iOS there is mlem, on Android there is Jerboa, which is still a bit janky, and the devs of some popular Reddit apps have also said they are willing to port theirs to Lemmy.

well, I guess it depends it depends if you are allowed to link libraries, if not then good luck implementing TLS etc. from scratch :) The modern web really isn’t that simple anymore…

Reminds me of this cool website where you can see all the complexity involved

Would add r/TalesFromTechSupport. I don’t work in any of these fields, but still enjoyed reading all the stories there.
