Not compatible with the fediverse? I’ll stay on Lemmy.
Is it true that Lemmy censors casual profanity like "bitch"? I first heard of Lemmy a few days ago, in the context of somebody dismissing it because it allegedly performs such censorship.
Every time I see social media recreated in a decentralised fashion I realise why the successful ones are centralised. The loading times of this are dreadful and I don't see how you'll be able to solve that problem when you're relying on P2P. In any case, it sounds like we'll be getting many new Reddit clones so I may as well plug what I've built recently: a Reddit alternative API that is free. Check it out if you're…

How does your non official API work? Is it using the official API and caching, redirecting to the website, and transforming it into json? I'm just curious.

So does this mean each subreddit creates and hosts their own entire “Reddit clone”?
Each community owner must run a node 24/7 to seed his own community's content via IPFS. Similar to how you need to seed a torrent you client. There's a GUI client so it's very easy, you just double click and leave it open. It's also possible for centralized services to run communities for people, so it's technically possible to run a community without having to have any device run 24/7 yourself.
I don't know why but this somehow taxes my CPU more than the official Reddit site, which is kind of impressive in a way. The theme itself is a good Reddit replica, but I don't think IPFS has the necessary performance to run apps like these. Maybe it can live become a Lemmy frontend for the FOSS/fediverse crowd?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

It basically scrapes reddit.com's HTML. Doesn't use the official API at all (that would defeat the purpose).
