Shoutout to our hard-working maintainers, first of all.

Wanted to open a space for the community to discuss this aspect of marketing/identity.

That's partly why I'm here. I don't want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?

I'd love it if the fediverse as a whole grew to that size. Any individual instance? No. That's kind of the whole point of the fediverse.

Why would we have opioid receptors if we weren’t Made to opiate?!

Would a URL shortener work better for sharing Lemmy links/instances?

I thought it was for shell script aficionados.

Cross-post the thing to another instance, then share that link.

haha

You could always use lemmy.org

How do we know that instance will stay afloat though? I see search engines indexing Lemmy already, but they're all scattered with whatever instance they happened to get in touch with.

Are people actually sharing fediverse links directly? I just save the image or copy the link the post is linking to, and share that.

Could build a reverse proxy to mask Lemmy links behind something that seems more legit
