I didn’t know it was open source until 2018. According to the article, they needed to go close-sourced due to the video player (lol)
… But you can find the original source code at: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit1.0
I really wonder if this is the code for https://old.reddit.com
Oh now that you mention it, a sharable link would be a must. This would promote curated “Awesome…” repos/links.
It would be ideal if it were part of the fediverse naming convention. For example “/m/(multi-subreddit-name) /c/(group) @(domain) /c/(group) @(domain) /…”
It would allow full transparency, the ability to update / change it… places could even provide URL shorteners for it.
Edit: formatting
One feature suggestion for Lemmy someone made: Create something like a multi-subreddit with Lemmy groups .
I love the idea. Basically, you could toss all the fragemented tech topics into a single multi-subreddit, giving you the ability to browse through a single topic but spanning different Lemmy installations.
In principle I agree with karma turned posts into people gaming the system.
However, I’ve heard one of the struggles for Lemmy Communities is to keep people from lurking.
Karma might be a stupid feature but it is/was a cheap way of driving participation - it could help Lemmy (especially at this early stage). Even if karma encouraged people to just up voted, it still raised visibility on the more interesting topics.
Malicious Compliant Deep Thoughts : You could create a group here on Lemmy, start topics and discussions there. Then link those Lemmy posts on Reddit. The Reddit Users will figure it out. :)
Do you have any suggestions for finding decent “gently used laptops”? The few times I’ve looked (ebay, Craigslist, etc) they’ve been pretty shady (looks fine, runs like it’s eaten a litter of dust bunnies).
