for cocreating and expanding the Fediverse world with the official PLC · bluesky-social atproto · Discussion #3124

As the first step for Fediverse, my below open source tool succeeded easy deploy and selfhost a full-stack bluesky that uses the official PLC. https://github.com/itaru2622/bluesky-selfhost-env So n...

This is the first time I’m seeing a way to host a full Bluesky network, I think. It seems like a big step towards full federation beyond appviews and personal data servers.

    You don’t have to be a developer to use Lemmy, yet it has similar features to reddit including search. Maybe there are sociological issues in growing its userbase, but not serious technical ones, as Usenet showed 40 years ago.

    It sounds like mastodon still has technical issues . If Lemmy’s were solvable, mastodon’s are too. Otherwise, how did mastodon get built in the first place?

      Just clarifying because I feel we’re talking past each other:

      You asked the folks in this discussion:

      If the problem is fixable technical shortcomings, why not fix them instead of throwing up our hands and surrendering?

      to which I said

      Because not everyone is a developer.

      to which you said

      You don’t have to be a developer to use Lemmy

      True. But that’s not what where we’re at in the discussion.

      It sounds like mastodon still has technical issues . If Lemmy’s were solvable, mastodon’s are too. Otherwise, how did mastodon get built in the first place?

      I’m quite sure they are solvable, but likely not by the folks complaining about the technical issues and choosing to use other services like bluesky. Because not everyone is a developer.

      So in other words, I think your musing out loud about why don’t we solve the issues instead of giving up and using something else is being directed to the wrong people.
