Thanks for the info!
I may add options to modify the exported data in some ways via a simple checkbox in the future, but I wouldn’t count on it.
The 2nd screenshot https://github.com/StableNarwhal/Lemmy-Userdata-Migration/wiki/How-to-only-export-or-transfer-a-part-of-my-user-data,-e.g.-blocked-instances%3F shows that feature already exists?
What about forking lasim, which is now inactive? https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
It’s better than the built-in option because it gives you more options. For example, if I only want to add blocks from one account to another without overwriting any other settings. I don’t see that your tool allows for that.
you just write in Markdown (the same thing Lemmy uses), pick a theme, and you’re good to go
That is far too basic for most websites. It’s absurd to suggest that’s a valid alternative for something like Wordpress + Elementor.
Squarespace should be on the table for static websites as well.
How so? It’s not static that I’m aware of, unless you’re exporting it to a file after using the UI to create it?
I assumed we were talking about direct replacements for WordPress, not hosted alternatives.
Well, as you said, Wordpress does a lot of things. Shopify, Wordpress, Squarespace, etc., are certainly interchangeable/competitors to a large degree. Wordpress has hosted options and is a default/main option for many hosting companies.
You can build a full website with every major function and design option with Wordpress. You can’t with Jekyll and Hugo unless you can code.
Nice policy. I chose shitjustworks because I saw here https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances that it has fewer blocks than lemm.ee.
static site? - Hugo, Jekyll, etc - just generates regular HTML
These are either vastly more limited, or they require you to be able to code.
ecommerce? - consider nopCommerce or OpenCard
I’ve never heard of these, but I have seen people say that if you want to do ecommerce you should only use Shopify, because even small differences can result in people not purchasing your products.
What would you use instead?
2FA is annoying and not necessary for most things.
How long does Catbox keep files for?
Forever. If you don’t want your file to stick around until the heat death of the universe, use Litterbox.
Ventoy > Rufus and also bypasses them by default.
Forums are still around. People just got lazy and started using reddit instead. Search engines are also to blame since they don’t bring up smaller forums in search results. People can go back to forums if they want.
What do you use instead?
I’m grateful that Stackoverflow is a valid alternative to reddit for many things. Fuck reddit.
I don’t understand why you and others are so mad about this. Stackoverflow is a great resource that takes significant time and money to maintain. I don’t have a problem with the maintainers making money by selling access to train AI on the data.
Having Stackoverflow as an alternative to reddit is important so that people aren’t stuck using reddit.
The point is to search the whole fediverse, not just one instance.
This is becoming the norm. The ban system is totally broken as they’re handing more and more tasks over to bad AIs. There are constantly tons of complaints from moderators about Reddit’s various broken systems, including the ban system.

Is there a specific problem with linkedin?
Prefer KeepassXC
Why? Keepass has lots of plugins and XC doesn’t, right?
I think it’s essential to have one or more communities like this. There were a few on reddit – watchredditdie, declineintocensorship, and more. The admins shut them down. I was unsuccessful in getting them to move over to Lemmy.
Absolutely the same things happen on lemmy. It’s to be expected from both mods and admins. We need to have a place we can go to find out “which are the bad communities & instances”.
The main problem I foresee is that those “watchredditdie and declineintocensorship” subs seemed to be well modded and mostly populated with intelligent people. In contrast, lemmy seems to have quite a lot of trolls, unintelligent people, and likely astroturfing. That will make things more difficult.
