Ah, I understood you meant that you wanted more ideas for questions.

Why not just start out with those questions and have a “add new question” or “request new question” feature in the app/website?

Is this also possible for Lemmy? Would be nice to get Lemmy community posts3in RSS feeds

Ok, thanks, so as long as the same instances are federated everything is fine, afterwards I might not see some posts. Got it.

Then it should be quite easy. Did you post the request to GitHub?

Is the instance hosting the community contained in the URL? Then it should be easy to implement, otherwise it’s probably much more complicated.

I think Lemmy’s solution is better, but still not perfect. I can subscribe to communities of other instances from my own instance, but only if either a) I know the exact name and search for it, or b) someone else did before me.

Just for completeness: You can search with the “menu” icon in the bottom bar. Not all communities are federated yet, so you need to search for others on https://browse.feddit.de first and then search the exact full name of the community in your instance (didn’t work in the Jerboa search for me)

By exact I mean e.g. !indiehackers@lemmy.world (including the !)

Well it’s a little complicated. I have a router, but there are several different ways to get internet to your home where I live.

1. (default and oldest way) through the telephone network of cables and your phone cable that comes into your house
2. Cable TV cable (coax) that comes into your house (I currently only have Sat TV here, and no cable
3. LTE/5G
4. FTTH is currently rolled out in smaller cities and I will get it in a few weeks.

Yeah I think so too.

In Europe they are currently trying to publish a law that sources have to be given by AI if the result is based on proprietary source material. See https://www.reuters.com/technology/eu-lawmakers-committee-reaches-deal-artificial-intelligence-act-2023-04-27/

Also, if one platform instance, eg. Lemmy.ml decides to not show any ads but lemmy.world does that would be fine too.

I think the most difficult part to figure out, would be the payment system. Is there anything that’s privacy friendly? PayPal is not, not sure about stripe, don’t know others except ones that only work in my country.

Yeah I’m thinking of something where the system showing the ad can give tags/keywords and corresponding ads show. Each instance can decide on whitelist/blacklist basis what kind of ads they want to send out (e.g. specific advertisers, sfw/nsfw, banner/text/video).

So you would subscribe to a specific instance of the ad service and get only ads they deem ok, including ads from other instances. So you can publish to all instances but the instances decide what they give out/show.

Edit: Typo & sentence structure

As I read in another post, the current revenue models (for devs and hosters) are donations and Patreon.

I kinda like the idea to have an open ad network, with privacy intact of course. I might think about it a little and set up a open source concept for it and post it here to get contributions.

Yeah, in Germany if you don’t have Internet over cable you get a flexible IP. Not sure how it is with ftth which we will get in a few weeks.

Would ads go against the fediverse principles? There could also be a federated ad network. Where you can choose what kinds of ads you want on your instance and thus content could be monetized.

Sadly my provider won’t let that happen. Except I pay for it. Or are you not talking about the public IP?

I get what you’re saying, but you can already get this with a little more work. Clone + Push to other self-hosted git server instance, e.g. Gitea.

But having an overview of publicly available Giteas where you can register and cross-instance fork more easily would be nice.
