Wouldn't they just use a VPN? I know they're technically illegal in China but from what I've heard lots of people still use them regularly.

If you mean communists that support capitalist states like China, then yes, unfortunately. Better than being around nothing but liberals or anti-communists though.

 

Funny if true.

I don't think a federated wiki is solving any of the problems of wikipedia. You've just made a wiki that is more easily spammed and will have very few contributors. Yes, Wikipedia is centralized, but it's a good thing. No one has to chase down the just perfect wikipedia site to find general information, just the one. The negative of wikipedia is more its sometimes questionable moderation and how its english-centric. This has more to do with fundamentally unequal internet infrastructure in most countries than anything though. Imperialism holds back tech.

I agree that it might be fine for niche wikis but again, why in the world would you ever want your niche wiki federated? Sounds like a tech solution looking for the wrong problem.

The main thing that has prevented me from using Logseq is the general slugish or delayed feeling of the GUI. It's not significant but enough that after using it for 2 months I swapped back to org-mode in Emacs. Even though I love org mode for general project planning, task management (gtd) and such, I have never found a comfortable workflow for actually writing non-code/non-markup in Emacs. The logseq experience of writing notes was immediately comfortable for me. Just wish it was fast.

Appreciate the clarification.

 

I am seeing posts from this community, I can seemingly create posts and replies, yet it's showing "Subscribe Pending". Is this a bug or is it actually pending?

Would Lemmy be a good fit for adding individual "blogging" as a feature? What I mean is the ability for a user to create posts tied to their account instead of a specific community. The default Lemmy Frontend/webapp has all the basic features that would normally make up a blog: ability to make posts, markdown editor, hell even replies that you normally need to disable on blogs because of spam. I can imagine adding a section next to the "Communities" button that says "Blogs" where you could browse users blogs. Not sure if you'd want to federate the blogs but something I'm thinking about.

Not asking this as a feature request on the part of the developers. This should be something I implement myself. But I thought I'd throw the idea out in the wild and see if folks could either tell me "why not" or point out what might be problematic with this.
