      I mean, it’s probably for onlyfans-ish porn. So probably they won’t want to move here.

        They could, but as it currently stands media hosting on the fediverse… Sucks.

        It’s obscenely expensive for everyone involved, and scales poorly. It’s just not ready to operate at scale at this point.

        I’m sure it will get better, but large storage costs are better off being handled by a distributed file-system where a minimal level of duplication is baked in, but the storage load is reasonably spread out instead of fully duplicated on each peer.

        There are technologies for this, but they all have their own issues. And tomorrow there will be n+1 distributed filesystems, fragmenting it further.

      Is there a list of the most active subreddits which don’t yet have a threadiverse counterpart?

      Might be an interesting project for Fediverser or [email protected]. Start with the most popular subreddit, create a Lemmy community on an appropriate instance, find mods and contributers (???, profit). Repeat with the next most popular subreddit.

          Thanks! I finally took the plunge to investigate Fediverser, and it seems like a really cool project.

          I went through a bunch of my Reddit subscriptions and recommended a bunch of analogous communities.

          One possible bug I found was in the filters. If I set “subscribed” to “yes” and clicked “apply filters” I got no results. Is this expected behaviour?

            Thank you! It was nice to wake up this morning and see like 3 different people adding a bunch of changes to the database.

            You are right about the bug. It seems that depending in some cases the list of subscriptions is not pulled.

              I also found that when I am trying to add a recommended Fediverse alternative to a subreddit, the heading says “Recommended Subreddit” and not “Recommended Community”.

              Curious if I have to add a community to the database in the first place before I can make it a Recommended Subreddit Community, or if it’ll be added if I paste the link into Recommended Community first without any other action (I noticed both adding a community to the database and pasting the link in Recommended Community make me grab the full URL so I was curious).

              You may also want to make the Subreddit field case-insensitive in case of duplicate additions. I unknowingly added a dupe subreddit because the version already there was the subreddit name in full lowercase instead of with the first letter capitalized like I saw it in the Reddit URL and the sub sidebar.

                Thank you for the feedback. I’m pushing now the fix for the typo. I will take a look at the issue with casing now.

                  You might want to put where we can communicate with you somewhere. I was looking around on the site for a Contact Me form and did a few searches to find the source code online so I could make an issue (think “site:github.com fediverser”) and didn’t find you. I’m lucky you were here today.
