I expected the link to point to IP over Avian Carriers
The link at “Lemmy has almost 20 pull requests on Github.²” points to kbin repo PRs instead of the intended Lemmy repo PRs.
also why the ² notation mark? at the bottom of the article, there is only one note, there does not appear to be the second one that this notation mark is supposed to be pointing to.
this was suggested quite a few times already, both here and in Github issues.
question is, how do we get interested people to start implementing it
Developers said in the latest news post that they are aware of community wanting this, but they are way too busy working on some core Lemmy issues, so someone else will have to step up in order to get this to be implemented sooner
I see your client-side redirect and I raise you a server-side redirect:
https://farside.link/ (source code)
It does many frontends:
https://farside.link/invidious/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ - Rickroll on Youtube
https://farside.link/teddit/r/lemmy - /r/lemmy through teddit
https://farside.link/nitter/ishl3outyet - IsHL3OutYet Twitter account through Nitter
and many more
it has a list of instances for each of those frontends and picks one when you open a link
this helps with combating link rot, as links will stay alive even if some frontend instances go down
Yes, LibRedirect is redirecting done on client side and Farside is redirecting done on server side. So Farside works even without browser plugins. I mostly use it when sharing links with other people, so that I do not send them into various privacy hellholes just because I wanted them to see something interesting.
Good question in regards to subscriptions. I’m not a web developer, so I do not know exactly what are all the technologies that could be used to solve this.
This is why https://farside.link/ is a very good thing to use.
Well, it moves the issue of privacy-frontend linkrot one level higher.
What happens if farside.link goes down? Should there be a service that redirects between multiple Farside instances? (for start it would be great if there were any other Farside instances)
That’s again the same issue, but on different level.
Is solution somewhere in IPFS or in some other decentralised technology?
No idea, but it would be great if more people paid attention to this and helped find these solutions.
Matrix has this thing: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive
So Matrix bridge to Discord in combination to this is a weak solution.
I have seen someone refer to Discord as “Black hole for information”.
It is nice to see that people are thinking about possible solutions and working on them.

I am aware of those two, but those are just for file storage. I was thinking something more general. Like having a Virtual Private Server, that people can extend with their donated resources. VPS can be used for more than just file storage. It can do processing as well.
