We're public again but this subreddit will be soon mothballed
There is https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter if someone wants to help us move to /c/libgen

META: we need a complete dump of https://old.reddit.com/r/CollapseScience/ including the Wiki contents preferably -- please discuss how we can achieve that as comments under that post. Thanks.
For https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter it needs a Lemmy instance, and an API key for which https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/16160319875092-Reddit-Data-API-Wiki

Migrating subreddits to Lemmy communities
The issue is - how? I've seen that there have been tools created to back up subreddits to Lemmy, but these rely on having access to the instance database in order to effectively "seed" it; that's not possible for me as a moderator/user.

Migration Guide / Plan
Currently, the RedditLemmyImporter tool is the best tool for migrating your subreddits away from Reddit. I'm not sure how many moderators are willing to go through the hassle of installing and running this script to migrate their communities. But I'm here to inform you that the tool does exist. If you're facing any technical difficulties with the tool, I think r/LemmyMigration, r/DataHoarder or the Github Issues page will provide the most technical support. I do apologise for the lack of documentation on the Github page though (its not my script).

Ask HN: What do you think about a subscription based social media?
Oh, TIL about https://mastodon.social/ (https://joinmastodon.org/)
Looks like what you describe, doesn't it?

Alt Text box can't fit one screenshot of text
Interestingly there is some discussion for Mastodon with people asking the limit to be smaller, which raises the question as to the purpose of alt text, and how to properly handle larger text lengths in screen reader programs.

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

Ask HN: Best practice for posting links to large Mastodon threads?
Postmortem on what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884
The v1 API of Mastodon limits the size of the tree that it will expand for users who are not logged into the server: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb . I am guessing that this or some similar limit applies to threads being returned to unauthenticated users of the web UI. It just arbitrarily stops expanding the replies at some point, including the main thread from the OP.
If a thread is truncated, users expect it to expand automatically and autoscroll when you hit the bottom. In my desktop browser, that does not occur, and there is no indication that there is more to see. This is the situation of the web interface as of Mastodon version 4.2.5.
The issue is very sensitive to observer conditions. If you are logged into the server, the behavior is different. If you use a Mastodon app instead of the web, the behavior might be different. As the tree expands, the cutoffs become different. If you look at the thread on a different Mastodon server, the tree is different because every server has its own view of the Fediverse.
HN needs a best practice for linking to Mastodon threads in a way that provides a consistent experience to HN readers. The average Mastodon server would be crushed by hundreds of HN readers grabbing the entirety of a huge thread all at once, so this might involve some thread-unroll-and-cache service. I tried https://mastoreader.io/ but it did not solve the problem.
Alternately, we push changes into the Mastodon web UI to warn users when they need to click to see more and assume that people will get used to the navigation.
Suggestions?

Unity's Open-Source Double Standard: The Ban of VLC
>You can defeat the Affero clause by putting the software behind a proxy, for example
Could someone elaborate on this? This is NOT my understanding of the license, and it seems absurd considering e.g. Mastodon is AGPL but the standard install requires a reverse proxy[1]. If using a proxy defeats Affero, why would the Mastodon team do this? Are they stupid?
