We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Sublinks, a groundbreaking Link Aggregation Social Network, joining the Fediverse. This innovative platform is designed to revolutionize how we share and discover online. Our dedicated team of volunteer contributors has worked tirelessly, utilizing technologies like Java, Go, TypeScript, and HTML to bring this vision to life. Sublinks promises a user-friendly interface and robust features that cater to diverse online communities. Stay tuned for our launch date, and get ready to experience a new era of social link sharing!
Sublinks will have a fully compatible API with Lemmy so all current Lemmy apps will also work with Sublinks. In fact, discuss.online will switch to Sublinks to fully replace Lemmy once we reach our Parity Milestone.
For more information, visit GitHub - Sublinks and sublinks.org.
Stay tuned for more regular updates as we progress.
Please give me one example of how sublinks is better than lemmy currently for use.
(I don't understand why new software instead of improving lemmy.)
It's always good to have alternatives. Healthy competition can make them grow better too.
how?
One way would be by implementing features the Lemmy devs have no interest in such as better interoperability with other fediverse platforms. If any added feature turns out to be well received and in demand, it would pressure the others to implement similar.
you are aware that what you linked is up to mastodon to implement? nothing to do with Lemmy.
Not really, Kbin (which also similar to core function as Lemmy) has better interoperability with Mastodon.
Nutomic, Lemmy dev, reject that idea. Quoted from himself: "Like you said, Kbin already supports this. No need to reimplement it in Lemmy, definitely wouldnt be worth all the effort."
And akkoma works perfectly with Lemmy where mastodon doesnt even understand groups
i've never looked into using my akkoma to interact with lemmy, but i quite like using mastodon.
Akkoma support activitypub groups. Properly.
i don't get what you mean: i quite like having every comment robbed of context and fed to me reverse-chronologically, only to reveal context and display chronologically when clicked
i understand some people might find it jarring, but what do you mean by "properly"?
Akkoma only shows the topic OP in your timeline, when you click you can see all comments. While mastodon boosts every reply flooding your timeline.
Akkoma suports activitypub articles, So you can actually read lemmy posts without leaving akkoma. While Mastodon only shows the article title and link, you are obliged to leave mastodon to read it.
yea, i prefer the mastodon method.
seriously? do you follow any large group in mastodon? do you prefer your timeline flooded with a single group discussion?
seriously.
I am subscribed to the biggest communities on Lemmy.world. I keep Lemmy communities in a list, and hide them from my main timeline.
see attached pictures
Here on Lemmy you prefer the
commentstimeline?I mean, mastodon doesn't have a method for groups. It just happens to show federated ActivityPub
notetypewhen i want to find interesting conversations, i interact through mastodon. when i want to space out and scroll memes i open jerboa.
i don't care much for any of the interfaces on lemmy except the search function, which, unlike mastodon, can search comment text without hashtags.
Which comment in the issue thread leads you to believe that?
The developer's closing comment is that it wouldn't be worth it to implement that feature in Lemmy.
