The links to the other posts show up below in a cross-posted to section so you can still access it if you want. The limitation on it needing to be the same page comes from this handling happening on the frontend instead of the backend. Ideally imo backend should handle it like how it handles the cross-posts displayed when looking at the post itself

On lemmy-ui if both posts are both “visible” in the feed they will be compacted into one post if they share the same link meaning there wont be a duplicate post (unless you paginate and theyre on different pages)

Some other frontends such as sync dont do this though but they really should

any fediverse account will work. Itll allow you to log in when it opens

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.)

that exists in instances such as lemmit.online

the issue with having that in the main communities is communication will be one way if you try to reply to that. Theres bots such as the l4s bot that is in the middle of the two that ocasionally cross-posts link posts that are popular though. Thats still controversial but can be easily blocked

Hey, admin of programming.dev here

Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people

• !science@mander.xyz - mander is the science and nature instance with this being one of their main communities
• !programming@programming.dev - main community for the programming.dev instance which is the instance for programming
• !gaming@lemmy.zip - main community for the lemmy.zip instance which has most of the game communities so far in lemmy
• !software_gore@programming.dev - community that just got started up in programming.dev where you can post any software malfunctions you come across
• !android@lemdro.id - main community in lemdro which is focused primarily around android

edit, heres some more:

• !chat@literature.cafe - literature instance
• !anime@ani.social - anime instance
• https://fanaticus.social - sports instance (doesnt really have a main community)
• https://lemmy.studio/ - music instance (doesnt really have a main community)

Added them to the whitelist

For communities outside programming.dev the community mods would need to request that the bot gets added for it to be usable since it functions on a whitelist due to bot rules in various instances

lemmy.world is in general. Just instances appear in more than one spot (and some general communities appear for a category if they have the largest community for that category and theres no topic specific instances for it). For example of multiple spots lemmy.db.zer0 is in A.I., anarchist, and a couple others since it has those topics in it

The instance finder is built to encourage the use of topic specific instances rather than general use ones so that communities are grouped together better in the same site. The site can then manage all the communities effectively and have the site customized to accomodate them better (and make it feel more like a home for what you like looking at and discussion with others rather than one of many reddit clones)

Categories are mainly so that people are sent to a topic instance that matches their interests. Science goes to mander, programming to p.d, sports to fanaticus, gaming to lemmy.zip, etc.

If youve got some suggestions on how to improve it though let me know, still in progress

The autotldr bot is currently in beta testing so will only work in the auai community on programming.dev
