I don’t follow it very closely, but as far as I know, they are the only one implementing the open protocol they designed (which doesn’t interoperate with ActivityPub). However, there seems to be some efforts for creating a bridge: https://www.docs.bsky.app/blog/feature-bridgyfed

As you said, there are some recognizable faces and that may impact the adoption. But not being compatible with ActivityPub is a real bummer.

I believe there is already a browser add on for this. Cannot remember the name right now.

Edit: I think this should be in Lemmy core.

!learn_programming@programming.dev

I think you have a better chance if your instance focuses on a topic instead of being general purpose. That’s the reason I chose programming.dev. All communities there are related to programming so when I sort by “local” I see something interesting even though I haven’t subscribed to that community. And that increases my interaction with those communities.

Would love to see a browser based implementation of this.

Here is another implementation: Another Blog Resurrection, the Fediverse, and a New Comment System

Overheid.nl is the central access point to all information about government organisations of the Netherlands.

I use InoReader. Most of the sources I want/need has RSS feeds. For the rest I create feeds using Feed43. I use it daily and that’s how I get news, YouTube videos, Twitter feeds (via Nitter), Reddit/Lemmy posts.

I was upset when Reader was killed. But looking back and seeing what Google has become over time, I think it was for the best. Now we have entire companies that only do one thing: RSS, and they are good at it. If Reader was still a thing, I’m afraid it would have extinguished RSS.

Names matter, and Reader told everyone that it was for reading when it could have been for so much more. “If Google made the iPod,” he says, “they would have called it the Google Hardware MP3 Player For Music, you know?”

This is funny, but I think Reader was a good name. At least it reflected what I want to do with the product.

That’s a heroic effort! I laughed so hard.

I think I will quit at this point.

Exactly. Even though one doesn’t need it often, it’s an important tool.

This is how I used it too. Write a test that fails with the “bad” version. Use a script to cherry-pick and run the test. It’s fun to watch it find the first bad commit even though what git bisect does is quite simple.

In this conference talk, Evans explains some of the most important concepts related to Domain-Driven Design while taking a critical look at how we traditionally think about models. Suggests asking “which model would be more useful to solve this problem” instead of relying on our understanding of objects “in real world”. He also emphasizes the importance of communication with domain experts an use of ubiquitous language.
