Developer of PieFed, a sibling of Lemmy & Kbin.
Anytime someone says “it has to be that way because that’s how federation works” they’re wrong. It can be however we want it to be, it’s just a choice.
Ahh yes, the walled garden trap.
I self-host a copy of FreshRSS which does most of those things. No Android app but the PWA works.
Whether you can read the full text in the app or not usually depends on whether the source provides a feed with the full text in it - changing your reader app won’t make much difference.
I subscribe to ~100 feeds but I have no idea what you’re into so dumping the list on you won’t help.
Instead, check out these directories that list RSS feeds by topic:
Most women could not open their own bank accounts or have credit cards until the 1970’s. That’s just about within the lifetimes of nearly half the people here.
Scalability. Federation adds overhead that increases as the number of instances increases. It is unclear to me when we will hit a wall but it’s probably not far off.
How will we pay the bills. Some instances get enough donations to pay server costs but none get enough to pay for staff or developers.
Both of those are only really problems if the fediverse grows, which it hasn’t for a while now. But that could change at any moment.
If only there was a source of young keen workers to fill the gaps.
My 486. With colour screen and speakers!
Yes. I think something like what Kbin did with it’s “Collections” would work fine, where it’s basically a crowd-sourced Topic. Currently topics are administered by the instance admin(s) which doesn’t scale very well but scaling isn’t much of a concern at the moment.
Check the mod log. There’s a link to it in the footer.
Wake me up when they implement FEP 1b12.

Really great tool, thanks! A few questions…
In the commands, will {instance} always be rss.ponder.cat?
Is the full process:
Or do you make the communities and then we add feeds to them?
Does each message need to have only one command?
Every situation is so different that you really need professional advice.
We’re working on it :)
You could try to find an open source project to contribute to? That’ll get give you a nice big codebase to grapple with.
10 thousand people marching would make world headlines.
No, it wouldn’t. Protest is totally normalized now, it’s just a pressure release valve that helps keep the status quo running.
Here is a protest that happened today - https://cloudisland.nz/@simplicitarian/113212289035494255
Apparently it involved between 20,000 to 30,000 people - https://cloudisland.nz/@simplicitarian/113212686270895144
It will not be mentioned in any big news media outside of New Zealand.
Haha yeah but it won’t. It’ll be forgotten by Monday.
