Until federation is better at coordinating deletions to other Lemmy instances and Kbin (check this thread on kbin, the comments are only removed because I reported them to the instance admin), the API redacts removed comment content instead of just returning a flag that says removed, and the trolling with NSFW imagery and usernames with slurs is reduced, I’m gonna refrain from posting on Lemmy.

This adds a lot of legitimacy to the fediverse

The potential liability for instance owners due to this is massive. Images should be stored in the instances of the community they’re posted to.

No lol. Reddit has a near 20 year headstart.

Do you have a link to these tools that you’re coding? I’d be happy to help you out myself.

What part are you having trouble understanding?

Lemmy and Kbin basically just use the same protocol for exchanging information.

Both are similar in that they interpret and present that information in a way that looks similar to Reddit which is why you can see a community on Lemmy as a magazine on kbin and vice versa. In addition Kbin also can interpret it in a way that resembles twitter.

They both started with the protocol but the way they store, serve, and present the information from the protocol is different. For example, I think Kbin stores the information that shows who upvoted what, but I don’t think Lemmy does.
