yeah, federation is a quite wide topic. in our case (rocksolid), we just feed all the messages received on the websites into newsgroups, and all the new messages from the newsgroups into the websites (so we bridge nntp and http). the postmill author(s) considered federation at one point (although with a different method), but dropped this part of the code later on.

btw: my original account was not accessible for me any more, so I created trwII.

Hey /u/trw, thanks for stopping by. I still need to read up on federated sites more, it's certainly something I've seen mentioned often but not something I'm personally all too familiar with beyond the most basic gist.

I'll add that to the list of things I should know more about, haha.

Hi rambler,

nice to see this new site, and the quite frequent use of it. Really like the site as such, as well as the cross network thing you have set up here. Should you ever think about federation, please give us a call at the rocksolid forums.

cheers

Just asking cause I wanted to create an album of historic climbing pictures on /f/rockclimbing.

An in-post display solution would look much better than a bunch of imgur links.

"But I've forked the codebase, hopefully there will be enough use of this site to warrant some custom development for features that this community wants." unrelated to this discussion i would love to hear more about this. might be worth a new post.

Basically, I'm not a developer. I have a lot of random skills but I'm not a 'master' at any of them. I've been hosting websites in some capacity for almost 20 years, however. You'd think in that time I'd have graduated past some basic php/python/bash scripting, but nope. :)

In the future I'd like to get some custom development done to implement some of the features some of you have requested. The only reason I'm not pushing that hard right now is because I want to see if the site continues to grow, as it's only been two weeks since it's launch, and because I'm unemployed and simply can't afford to offer anything in return for custom development at this time. (But hoping that will change in the future, as I continue to look for local work). Hosting is covered however, as it's 'cheap' in comparison to that of custom dev work.

Aether does look cool, however, i think you are correct about the lack of mobile support.

thank you. this place is nice.

Don't you mean Happy Holidays?

I said what I said. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Welcome. Feel free to create a forum or to tell other goats about this place.

Don't you mean Happy Holidays?

JK. Merry Christmas.

i came here from Voat.

Will do, though it's sort of taken the backburner for a moment until I can figure out the best way for it to display the correct URL for whatever network the visitor is on.

I have an idea, I just haven't tested it yet. Been a tad busy with some other things but I think it 'should' work. :)

Fine, keep us posted!

Same to you.

Thanks. I like it so far.

Aether has no mobile support whatsoever. I bet 95% of the people migrating from Voat to Aether will keep on moving.

Done. A good place for onion links would be /f/Tor, /f/oddsides or /f/links , though /f/Tor being the most active out of the bunch.

Looks like they're gone already. I thought they were going to wait until Christmas.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Axe away at /f/onions. It seems unnecessary with /f/Tor.
Edit: Thank you!

Seems like some went to Aether. Haven't seen many refugees here, but they're welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Ah, my bad. I thought that option was available to mods who created their own forum. I can axe it for your if you'd like. Just confirm and I'll do as you wish.

Yeah i edited my comment, i can't find it. I replied without looking.

No worries. Glad to help.
