like knusper says, lemmy has a different spoiler format:

::: spoiler the preview text

then the hidden text

the new lines are optional, but make it easier to read in my opinion

It’s a grand idea to make an index, not only for better exposure, but I bet it also makes it easier for FNIC communities to handle potential problems in unity - if they want to.

yeah, there is also a matrix space where i’m doing anything i can democratically as well

I apologize for making assumptions. It is most definitely a good idea to not have the whole of Lemmies Imaginary communities depend on a single persons whims

don’t apologise! (i did steal their naming convention as well)

Though I’ve personally never had any beef with INE, we often see how bad such communities can end up.

neither did i; but better safe than sorry and all that (also i just made !imaginarytrains@lemm.ee because nobody else would, and it’s just sort of snowballed from there - i didn’t know if people would have beef with me, so i don’t want to dictate what happens everywhere)

thank you, but they’re very much unofficial by design (i’m not associated with the reddit ine, and i get the impression they’ve no interest in lemmy):

i think most of the imaginary network on reddit was the same [group of] mod[s] - i’m deliberately not doing that, and letting each lemmysphere do their own thing (hence the “federated”). this is a descriptive not prescriptive group, and this is mostly for easy discovery for people who are interested

copying in @ekky43@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org - you may be interested

you could try putting a script to launch it on ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/ - i can only assume other des wouldn’t execute things in there

i’m going to link a lot more sites here, because viewing them on ko-fi is awful. in rough order of relevance:

• pixelfed
• patreon
• nextcloud
• mastodon
• twitter
• his corporate site, though there’s not art here

personally i think that’s not a great answer

So, there is a mixed bag of thought on this that I read up on before creating the domain, but tl;dr - .zip is a valid TLD and will be recognised by all browsers etc as such. There are lots of new TLDs being created and they’ll be in the same boat.

yes, it is. .scr is also a valid executable that windows pcs will run, but i wouldn’t go about distributing programmes as such

.zip domains also come with higher levels of mandatory security and require an SSL certificate to display a webpage, which is another layer of security.

almost all websites do that now, but man-in-the-middle attacks aren’t really the issue with .zip domains

On the flip side, yes someone will probably try to fake a zip file with it and send the link around, but (and people are free to disagree with me here!) this is basic Internet security and you shouldn’t be clicking links to places you weren’t expecting.

this issue isn’t clicking links to places you weren’t expecting, but clicking a link to a place you were expecting. if i send you an email saying “i sent you the invoice.zip you asked me to”; then you’d be expecting that link to open the invoice zip file

especially on lemmy, as links often follow the format “https:⧸⧸domain.com⧸c⧸topic＠differentdomain.com”

Federation won’t be affected by anything and we’d need to be manually defederated like normal.

this is true (although anyone that has ||.zip^ blocked won’t see images hosted on lemmy.zip)

People/companies may decide to block .zip domains but that is a knee-jerk reaction.

i think it’s a necessary reaction. i’ve blocked .zip on both my parents’ computers (and my own, but i at least know how to disable it for specific sites). now admittedly they’re unlikely to be using lemmy^[1], but you get the picture

Bad actors will exist (and have existed before)

yes. but giving them more attack vectors isn’t the best idea

and with the way TLDs are heading before long you’ll probably be able to generate anything as a TLD, after all they’re just name friendly pointers to an IP address.

this may be true, but A) we’re not there yet, and B) that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing (or relevant)

In summary, it’s not caused us any issues yet, I dont forsee it causing us any issues, but if it did, then we’ll cross that bridge when we get there!

this is not the best attitude, as (as @quortez says), lemmy doesn’t currently allow migration or re-federation

points 3 & 8 are the most pertinent.

(sorry it’s long, but i might link to this in future so i wanted it somewhat comprehensive)

interesting, i’ll join

instance agnostic link: !show_lemmy@lemmy.ml

actually i’m also going to reply to you here just to check my message went through, as i’m not sure if lemmy -> kbin messages work

Someone could attack that one site and bring the whole lemmyverse down.

not really - all it would do is be annoying to open links in apps. probably temporarily, as another would spring up

matrix is decentralised, but they have matrix.to

Then I will include them on my watchlist and will try to post at least from time to time.

thank you, i do appreciate it

As I said in other comments, thanks to all of you who create and moderate communities. For now, I’m just trying to generate content, which I know is the easier part.

well i haven’t actually had to do much moderating yet — i’ve mostly been balancing seeding some content without spamming the local feed; as well as discussing them on matrix, and sometimes promoting them on threads like this when i remember

Note that I said: “you look a bit more organized than small subs”, and that’s not a very high bar, hehe :P.

oi! and i thought you were nice

More seriously, I thought you were related to reddit’s Imaginary Network, which is huge and with some big power-users.

nope, not at all. they’re just the only subs i still follow by rss, and no-one else was making them here so i took up that mantle. and now i have 7 imaginary communities… and there are at least 2 more that i want to exist, so i’m hoping someone makes them soon

thank you!

(also, i’m flattered that you think i look organised, i’m very new to this so i don’t feel organised at all)

a few others and i are trying to get some of the imaginary network off the ground - the ones i’m particularly fond of are imaginary trains and imaginary dieselpunk, but there’s a whole list in the sidebar

unfortunately a considerable chunk went down with lemmy.fmhy.ml, but i’m in contact with the guy behind them and he plans to reopen them soon

heh, i don’t want to mod them either - i plan to hand them off to the first person that comes along. but i think people are more likely to add content to sublemmy that has content; so i’m “pump-priming” the sub by posting some pictures that i did post to reddit before, and some i found on tumblr

most of these are outside my wheelhouse, but i will do wastelands; and maybe portals & behemoths. aviation, landscapes, and starships already exist, and cyborgs might be an alternative to robotics. i’ll ping you when/if i make them though

keeping this comment as a todo list for myself. it anyone wants to create these for me though that would be great

• imaginarytrains
• imaginarydieselpunk
• imaginarywastelands
• imaginarycathedrals
• imaginarybehemoths
• imaginaryportals
• imaginarysteampunk
• imaginarywarhammer
• imaginarydarksouls

not really. i got bored of waiting for them; that’s why i’m making them myself

there are a few of the more active ones in the sidebar, or you might find something by searching lemmyverse.net for imaginary. if you make one, tell me and I’ll put it in the sidebar

i’m currently starting up imaginarydieselpunk, then i might make one for steampunk. do you have any requests?
