What DEs are people using? in c/archlinux@lemmy.ml
[–] boomboxnation@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Just keep the config file(s) handy and always be playing with them. Join IRC #sway@Libera. Oh...and you can use the majority of the i3wm docs outside of anything doing with output or input. While I love man pages...I prefer web content for my docs.

URNs(Uniform Resource Name) for federated objects? (lemmy.ca)
 

Has anyone thought of resurrecting the concept of URNs for Lemmy/Federated content? I just ask as it seems as one way to start thinking about reducing the link rot caused when something like imgur or gfycat goes private or offline. As it stands...a ton of lemmy instances brought up in the last few weeks will be gone in a month.

Something like an URN would be useful if there was some concept of 'super-federation', where two or more instances of the same service chose to cross-store data

Browsers don't support URNs currently, and the lookup/registry system would be potentially vast and full of duplicates, but it seems worth thinking about.

Sway. I look around every few months but nothing usually, um, erm pendulates my interest. I have hyprland installed...but my config file breaks with every update, and it's rice first, function later. I'm an opposite-ricer. I like to strip all decorations.

Lemmy Explorer instance integration/proxy? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Dang it! I actually knew that from previous exploration, but couldn't find it again and thought I had dreamt it. The 'Home' icon threw me off.

Lemmy Explorer instance integration/proxy? (lemmy.ca)
 

It occurs to me that it would be handy if the Lemmy Explorer could be either run with or proxied through an individual instance providing a 'Subscribe' button and hiding by default unfederated instances and their communities.

The current "Search Explorer --> copy full comm URL --> Home instance Search for Federated Community --> Cross fingers and wait --> Try to subscribe" workflow is wanting IMO.
