The easiest way would be subscribing to the communities you want and then using the subscribed feed instead of the all feed

Some frontends (mostly the apps) have filters you can use to filter content but the main frontend doesn’t currently apart from blocking the communities

An alternate thing to do could be to use the local feed in the instance that primarily has the content you want. Isnt doable for all types of content since not everything has a topic based instance for it and would require having a new account if you want to interact but theres things such as mander.xyz for science, programming.dev for programming/hardware/etc. topics, etc.

Its semi broken currently and also functions on a whitelist with this community not being on the whitelist

Thanks everyone who volunteered, going to reach out to some people soon (will be prioritizing people with programming.dev accounts)

edit: modded adr1an and dwraf to start off since I like to start communities with two mods. They can choose what they want to do past that. Ill be the primary mod for a bit and then will transfer that to someone in the future

No thats not a feature currently

It works, those statuses are just a bit misleading

How it works is it subs to a community (from all instances connected to it) until someone from an instance subs and then it unsubs in that instance. In the previous version of the site when it unsubbed it would mark the instance it unsubbed from as completed on that community (although seems to be a bit broken here)

I mainly use linkstack https://linkstack.org/, git repo: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack

Theres an instance for the programming.dev instance if you want an example of how it looks https://me.programming.dev (weve got a space-like theme on it)

Itll have api compatibility on release so that will work then with all lemmy frontends

It is self hostable or is there just the site at quiblr.com?

Seems like something I would love to throw onto q.programming.dev with the other alternate UIs were running

It will have lemmy API compatibility on release so it will be

It hasnt been released yet, still working towards parity (but getting there soon)

The first instance using it will likely be sublinks.art and some other instances will be switching over from lemmy when it hits parity like programming.dev and literature.cafe

Theres been a bunch of activity and people joining in in the dev matrix already

Backend pretty much already has parity and the frontend is currently the main thing that an updated demo is waiting on but should be ready really soon

I’ve been designing an updated home page recently for it that I’ll be pushing out this week that looks miles better than lemmy-ui since I could do everything from scratch and thus quickly

Java spring for backend, Go for federation, Next.js for frontend

demo.sublinks.org has the backend with the lemmy-ui frontend to show api compatibility

Task list and progress is public on the github org https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1

Matrix space where all the devs talk is also public and you can see progress talked about in them

In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)

They show up above the posts, below the navbar

A random one is chosen to show up every time someone visits the page. You can check out https://programming.dev for some examples of them (usually itll be an http status code or a quote)

Instances either put announcements there (e.g. future downtime), core info (e.g. links to frontends, donate link) or random sentences. Can only be one of the options out of those three though unless you want to delete and remake things a bunch of times to swap between them if you want everyone to see the downtime message

Yeah both lemmy.world and us have the same alternate frontends at the same subdomains (apart from voyager in which they went for m for mobile and we did v for voyager)

Links for all four of them

• Photon (p.) - world | programming.dev
• Alexandrite (a.) - world | programming.dev
• Voyager (m. and v.) world | programming.dev
• Mlmym (old.) world | programming.dev

Yeah theyre still by far #1 in terms of MAU even when not taking into account votes while everyone else is so might bump it up by another 10k

Its based on what instances report. So instances on 0.19 or above would factor in votes into that number. Ones that arent would not (so the number has a combination of both cases)

The 2m there is extremely inflated to to bot sign up spam. Back when instances were getting set up in the reddit migration there was some people that started mass signing up accounts on instances with weak security. Fediverse observer doesnt care about any of that and just shows user accounts regardless of what happens on the instance

Fedidb has a much more accurate count at ~ 400k https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy since they exclude these bot spammed instances. They also have a monthly active user count (~ 38k) based on what instances report for that stat

Its from the microblog side but leaking into lemmy a bit since they mass tag everything they find (which includes lemmy communities)

When they dont have a display name set
