Thanks for the support. I think the era of single, centralized sources of information will soon be in the past.

1. This would be a project on its own, with writing import scripts, hosting an instance etc. Certainly not something I have time for, just like I’m not running a Reddit mirror for Lemmy. If you or someone else wants to set it up, go ahead!
2. How would you detect that it’s the same article, only from having the identical title? That could fail in lots of ways.
3. I agree about this.

Available Soon.

Dansup is well known for making grand announcements and delivering on them very late or never. I think it was more than two years ago that he announced federated groups for Pixelfed and still nothing. So I wouldn’t get my hopes up yet.

500 Mb symmetrical. It’s more than enough even while running a home server.

Hold on the scammer could spend 8000 usd without even knowing the card’s PIN number?

Maybe you can make some contributions to Ibis ;)

It can get a bit boring working on the same project for so many years. Having a different project gives me more motivation.

Thank you :)

Yes articles are duplicated in the same way posts are duplicated on Mastodon or Lemmy, so they wont go away. Moderation doesnt exist so far. There is a search field in the sidebar.

The link goes directly to Ibis where I posted the announcement.

The frontend is very primitive right now, but it could definitely be made to work without JS.

That is true but most developers are still on Github, which hasn’t been affected by enshittification yet. I also have to keep using Github because of Lemmy, so I don’t want to switch back and forth between two separate platforms.

However once Gitea starts federation we definitely want to migrate Lemmy to a selfhosted instance, and probably Ibis too.

I mean the drama about it is over. We are constantly working to improve mod tools but it takes time.

Thank you!

Right but that’s already over. And anyway Ibis was mostly finished since some weeks, just needed some minor work to push it over the finishing line.

Interesting, maybe it wanted to tell you about this project :D

Nowadays I can easily handle all Github notifications within less than an hour. After the Reddit blackout there were so many notifications that I couldnt even read all the issues, let alone respond. So I had to unsubscribe from issue notifications for some months.

This is already possible.

I was waiting for someone else to create a project like this. But it didnt happen so I had to write it myself when things became a bit calmer with Lemmy.

It uses Markdown because it has the best library support.

That structure is extremely corrupted though. And Lemmy shows that volunteers can handle this kind of stuff. Though Ibis will definitely need a lot of mod tools.

Yes true.
