There are ways to write links in such a way that they should keep you on your instance, but I’m not too familiar with them. I wonder if it would be possible to “precheck” links that load on a page, and if any point to content that can be federated, kick off the process of pulling that content in. Then when the user clicks that link, it would take them to the content on their home instance, where they can interact. That way users wouldn’t need to deal with formatting links a certain way, it would just happen automatically (if your home instance software supports it).

That’s the one–thanks!

A community can be made of very few people. It just takes a desire to keep it going!

I want to get into ham radio. Just like the fediverse, it’s decentralized, and it’s the original way to chat across the globe!

Wow, similar thing for me, I have a 'bicuspid aortic valve’s which means the aortic valve in my heart is a bit funky and doesn’t push blood through as it should. And that makes the FAA also seem me medically unfit. I think there is a process to get a medical exemption, but with the cost of getting a license so high already, I just decided to stick with MSFS. I get to ‘fly’ a 737 like I wanted as a kid, learn all about it, but I’m not shelling out thousands and years of my life (okay, maybe I am shelling out some money but I like pretty airports!)

That’s something I want to get into. I want to set up that self hosted software, forget what it’s called, but you can integrate with IoT devices just like you can with a mainstream assistant service like Google Home.

What I really want to do is automate my blinds, which are the chain loop type, so I can say “house, open the living room blinds” like they did in Smart House, the Disney channel original movie (or maybe that was Home Alone 4, but we don’t talk about that one). I found a little motorized device that integrates with these chain blinds but it was a bit pricey. Of course if I tried to make it with my own Arduino etc it would be an ugly mess.

On Lemmy that is. Kbin I believe replicates everything (unless I set my server up wrong).
