Lemmy has a reddit-like ui. Check old.lemmy.world and old.lemmy.zip

These are all good ideas, I'm looking forward to them. But I have to say, recently Plebbit became a lot more reliable. Captchas and posting are pretty much instant now and don't fail as much if at all. Good work!

Experimental decentralized web site, experimental music. The feeling that we are early in something special. The only place where we belong.

Internet was supposed to free us from ignorance by giving people access to universal knowledge freely. Instead it was used by the plebs, as they usually do: bread and circuses. Always the same shit that's happening since two millennium.

The world population as a whole is getting smarter, think of how many jeets went from street shitting to being successful scammers. This is the Flynn effect. Notice that the people who wonder why everyone is getting dumber, are usually White people living in Western countries (and mostly in big cities). Brain-frying goyslop is the nail in the coffin; White people are getting browner at an alarming rate, mixing with other races, thus decreasing their average IQ. This is a reverse Flynn effect.

Based thanks

He absolutely did lol

>as soon as a sub in that chain is offline, the link breaks. anyone can seed comment.author.previousCid, so the author can seed his own profile cids, or people who recently downloaded that specific cid would also seed it. since most people are just using the web version at the moment, then if the sub is down, the cid would probably also be down, but in the future it will be less of an issue. also in the future the user will probably include more links in each comment so that it's more reliable. also in the future the users will probably have an option to publish IPNS records using their plebbit public key, so a cid will not be needed to view a user's profile, and also they'll be able to reorganize the linked list differently, maybe using pages similar to subplebbits. once P2P in the browser is done implementing and public RPCs are implemented, this will even be possible by web peers. A user can seed his IPNS record in the browser while he's online, and when he's not online, his IPNS record can be cached by gateways and/or seeded by public RPCs.

While trying to understand this, I noticed that gateway.plebpubsub.xyz currently doesn't work. It responds with `failed to resolve /ipns/k51qzi5uqu5dhsj11w2r4u1qymyx2obkgmqr6ua0lx22mxyyulqzogg3ocahq5: write /usr/src/plebbit-provider/.ipfs/blocks/.temp/temp-3017901142: no space left on device` on every request.

Okay, that's interesting. I just assumed that it searched the whole browser database for comments of a user in all subs but what it actually does is, when somebody posts they attach the cid of their previous comment. I guess the main issue with that is, as soon as a sub in that chain is offline, the link breaks. Thinking about that, a user profile might be similar to a community but it's actually a bit different in that only the owner can post to it so there's no need to have captchas but only a private key that can update a IPNS record (from what I understand about IPFS) which every user has in their browser. So that means it should be possible for a user to publish their profile on IPFS (if its possible to do that in the browser, otherwise we would need something like a reverse gateway to publish stuff) and everybody who wants to seed it can (for example a Plebbit node could query and seed it once a user posts in their community), without the user actually having to stay online 24/7 and if nobody seeds it, the user can come back online and republish it since they keep the data in their browser. Maybe we're describing the same thing and it's probably not easy to implement either, just wanted to get this out there.

>BTW, is there any way to actually link to a user account on seedit? Not yet, unfortunately. You'd have to find a CID of a comment published by each user in a subplebbit that's online or still seeded, and use that CID in the profile link.   Plebbit profiles aren't IPNS records currently (like subplebbits are), i.e. they aren't reachable p2p, they are just local JSON files generated and stored only locally. So, the client needs a comment CID published by the user in a subplebbit, because it uses that CID to build the post history recursively, from the feed data it already has from known subplebbits (filtering by comment author), generating this sort of mockup of how the real profile page would look like. For example, the user creation date displayed on Seedit is a very inaccurate approximation—it's just the last timestamp of the oldest comment found recursively by the app.   It's definitely possible to let plebbit nodes run IPNS records for user profiles, other than communities. It's just low priority (discussion: https://t.me/seeditreact/9105), because it will be a lot of work for a lesser UX improvement, given that our clients are reddit and 4chan clones, and the reddit and 4chan UXs are mostly based on pseudonymity. Once implemented, it will be possible for users to reach profiles IPNS records fully p2p, using just their address, just like how communities work now: profiles will be able to have their own fields, like their own bio, avatar, instantly synced post history, karma score, account creation date, subscriptions list, etc.   Of course, to run this profile page IPNS record you'd need to keep your plebbit node online 24/7, which is another reason why this is currently low priority to implement. It will be high priority, IMO, once we'll have a permissioned public RPC implemented in the clients, i.e. a service similar to Infura for blockchains, but for plebbit nodes. It will let all new users run nodes for their profiles and communities automatically, by subscribing to this non-custodial service, which should have a free tier suitable for the vast majority of users, who rarely scale their communities/profiles to thousands of subscribers. Once we will have this RPC service (and btw, anyone can create one, even right now, so I think there will be several competing public RPC services), we will start building plebbit clients for profile-based social UXs, i.e. fully decentralized alternatives to tiktok, twitter, instagram, etc. These social networks get content from profiles, not communities—they are profile-based, so a profile-based plebbit client would require every single user to run a plebbit node for their profile, which means it would require a permissioned and non-custodial public RPC, implemented by default.

Oh yeah, that was definitely needed. I think you could add another column to the communities table to include if the sub is online (by querying the plebbit.online API) if you want to. BTW, is there any way to actually link to a user account on seedit? I tried to achieve that with .../u/username.eth/c and while that doesn't return an error, it doesn't seem to load any posts. Every user account link here on seedit includes a unique ID that's not available on Dune.

Awesome, thanks. >Most of the communities are currently down though. Yeah, also in the default list. I had to implement a lowUptime flag in the list, preventing offline subs from appearing in the clients by default, to ensure that new users won't attempt to post to offline subs (and complain that the app doesn't work). If anyone wants to bring their sub back online with 99% uptime, please let me know, or open a pull request on https://github.com/plebbit/temporary-default-subplebbits to switch your sub.lowUptime flag to false (but also, make sure your sub fits the new listing requirements). Please only do so if you truly intend to keep your sub online 24/7. I'm also monitoring these subs' uptime myself.

America is wanting and going to cannibalize the european automobile industry. You'll see.
