Thanks everyone who volunteered, going to reach out to some people soon (will be prioritizing people with programming.dev accounts)

edit: modded adr1an and dwraf to start off since I like to start communities with two mods. They can choose what they want to do past that. Ill be the primary mod for a bit and then will transfer that to someone in the future

I mainly use linkstack https://linkstack.org/, git repo: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack

Theres an instance for the programming.dev instance if you want an example of how it looks https://me.programming.dev (weve got a space-like theme on it)

Itll have api compatibility on release so that will work then with all lemmy frontends

It will have lemmy API compatibility on release so it will be

It hasnt been released yet, still working towards parity (but getting there soon)

The first instance using it will likely be sublinks.art and some other instances will be switching over from lemmy when it hits parity like programming.dev and literature.cafe

Added them to the whitelist

For communities outside programming.dev the community mods would need to request that the bot gets added for it to be usable since it functions on a whitelist due to bot rules in various instances

If youre talking in a community on an instance thats still federated with one of them you still don’t see their posts

Each instance stores its own copy of a post for its site members to view

Some threads in lemmy.ml when looked at from lemmy.world have a bunch of comments not visible due to this

Its already deleted, may take a bit to federate to your instance

^ This user got an instance wide ban due to spamming the same autogenerated troll comments in various communities.

Note if you put the image link in the url bar of the post rather than the body it lets people see it while scrolling (url + title can be edited so you can edit it to do that still if you want)
